This was a really great chronicle. Well done.

Chronicle a very nice.
Question:
We should expect Chronicle about how Jamуl Sarum spent the last days of her life?
That she felt.
What was she thinking.
Her thoughts before death, etc.
After all, she was a person of faith. It is faith that helped her be herself.
Example: http://orig05.deviantart.net/97f4/f/2013/316/e/d/ed92a188c807a121f0be09a8475da03e-d6u0f41.jpg

Are the revival of Shathol'Syn and the role the Order of St. Tetrimon plays here in the execution of the ritual a part of Jamyl Sarum's Testament?

I was quite confused when Arrach asked Merimeth "Need I remind you who it was that ordered the construction of this grotesque spectacle?" and from his following questions it seems clear that Merimeth's aunt Jamyl is meant. But now I discovered this news from YC117 which, underneath the text, explicitly refers to the "Testament" chronicle. Putting these things together I'd conclude, yes, the revival of Shathol'Syn, giving the Tetrimon Order the role to maintain the "integrity of the succession", lifting the "edict of suppression" that banned the Order into the Khanid exile and allowing them to return to the Amarr Empire are parts of Jamyl's Testament.

In the "Testament" chronicle the Emperor Family's High Chaplan Kalefa Sufrin explains to Tetrimon Grand Master Khemon Dulsur that the Privy and Theology Council will recognize Garkeh Khanid as the sixth Royal Heir and his right to claim the Amarr Throne, a decision that has been made public in this news three days after Sufrin and Dulsur had met in the chronicle. Sufrin finishes his explanation with "This will explain everything" and then gives Jamyl's Testament to Dulsur. So, I would guess that the restoration of Khanid as a Royal House of the Amarr Empire is part of Jamyl's last Will as well.

All in all I see four points in Jamyl Sarum's Testament:

1. The Khanid Family is restored as a Royal House of the Amarr Empire
2. The ritual of Shathol'Syn has to be revived for the Succession to the Throne of the Amarr Empire
3. The "Edict of Suppression" for the Order of St. Tetrimon is canceled and they are allowed to return to the Amarr Empire
4. The Order of St. Tetrimon is responsible for ensuring the security of the sequestration of the Heirs and for maintaining the "integrity of the succession"

After Khemon Dulsur had read Jamyl's Testament he shows two interesting reactions. Firstly, he says: "The Chapters [of the Tetrimon Order] will require persuasion." Which is irritating as point 2, 3 and 4 are probably very much in the Order's interest and favor. However, it might somehow refer to point 1. Secondly, when he is alone in his ship cabin and apparently thinks about the Testament again, he whispers: "I'm sorry." Hm, maybe he is sorry about having called Jamyl a heretic and recognizes now that - especially with point 2 - she was closer to the holy Amarr traditions than he thought.

I'm not entirely convinced about the picture I'm drawing here but Arrach's question mentioned above let me return to the "Testament" chronicle as this question appears to refer to Jamyl's last Will. In fact, I might be completely wrong and miss some background from the past.

Or the really important point in Jamyl's Testament is point 5. I'm still curious if something, maybe quite surprising, about her Testament will follow in future.

I like the part where they use lazors, very elegant and ties it to Amarr nicely.

A lot has happened in regards to the Tetrimon since that was written. Sadly, few people know much about those developments anymore, and they don't like to update those old chrons.
