By Holy Servant of God and His Empire, Praefectum-Dei Khan Rodak of the order Manu Dei
1. Now it came to pass in the third day of the first month of the tenth year of the rule of Emperor Amash-Akura that the midday deliberations were abruptly brought to a halt when the sky darkened in the day.2. And the sun went black as night and birds fell from the sky and flowers shriveled in the field and people fell sick in the streets and in the houses.
5. The Emperor came from his high seat with his retinue to meet with the Angels outside the city walls. And lo and behold! The moment the Emperor passed below the city gates the sun cleared and shone as brightly as ever before, all in the glory of the Emperor and the Heavenly Angels that called upon him.
6. The Angels spoke the language of God and called themselves Sepherim: those that guard the high seats of Heaven. God ordered them here to protect the Emperor against all evils that ever beset him.
7. The Sepherim offered unto the Emperor a present from God as one brother to another: Ametat the Sceptre and Avetat the Crown, showing the great pleasure God had in the earthly work of the Emperor.
8. And thus the sefrim came to serve the illustrious Amash-Akura, to stay by his side during the day and guard his sleep during the night. A great house of white stone and marble was built for the sefrim to reside in and were tended by the best servants the empire had to offer.
9. For a hundred years while the Sepherim watched over the Empire no wars or epidemics or famines ruined the lands and the people were content and joyous.
10. From Istha in the North and Melekel in the South and Edras in the East and from Iphria in the West people came to pray before the Holy Sepherim and receive a blessing to take home to their families.
11. The Sepherim stood tall and beautiful, clad in their white and amber robes, with masks of gold and silver to protect people from being struck dead by their angelic beauty.
12. And all this time the emperor Amash-Akura did not age one day and was as healthy and strong as the day he came of age. The Scepter gave him vigor and the Crown gave him acumen and his rule was wise and fair.
13. Then Molok the Deceiver sundered the lands and the people suffered floods and plagues conjured by him. Molok turned the people against the sefrim and people who once sang their praise now abhorred them.
14. The Emperor saw that all was not good and summoned the Sepherim and said unto them, The people are in great distress, what remedies doest thee have?
15. And the Sepherim answered, My Lord, the land has split against thou, thou must make war upon thy enemies to reclaim what is justly thine.
16. And the Emperor asked, Will thee aid us in this perilous endeavour?
17. But the Sepherim answered, No my Lord, we are here only to guide and guard, it is forbidden to us to aggress upon any man.
18. Then be gone! the Emperor said in anger, for his foes were formidable.
19. And the Sepherim, no longer in the Emperor’s favuor returned from whence they came that very day. And the moment they left the sun went black and people cried in anguish for this was an evil omen.
20. And that night God spake unto Emperor Amash-Akura in his sleep, Thy folly is great, Amash-Akura, thou hast rejected those I sent to thee in thine hour of need. Thou must redeem thyself to me by thy own merits.
21. And next day Amash-Akura had aged all his days and his hair was white and his skin wrinkled. But his spirit was high and his will resolute. God had charged him to take back his Empire.
22. For five years Amash-Akura battled his enemies, wielding the Sceptre and the Crown, and triumphed in the end. The day after Molok the Deceiver was brought before him in chains and sacrificed on the altar of God; the Emperor died in his bedchamber, his task fulfilled.
# Chapter I of the Epitoth in the Book of Scriptures
In the beginning all things were as one.
God parted them and breathed life into his creation
Divided the parts and gave each its place
And unto each, bestowed purpose.
# Book I 1:4
The Amarr people came into the world and the world came into being.
Our illustrious ancestors freed their souls from the evils of the old world
and created a new one.
The great Amarr Empire was founded to cultivate the spirit of man.
To do so the enemies of the outside had to be defeated
And the enemies of the inside controlled.
The Lord gave our Emperor the power to harness the Good and punish the Evil. Ever since, the Emperor has lived the lives of his subjects
And breathed the air of authority.
# Excerpt of Book I
Our Lord visited his flock and saw that all was not good.
Blasphemy and heresy ruled the land.
The Lord punished the sinners and drowned them in their own blood.
But the people of Amarr lived righteously and in fear of God.
Thus they were saved and became God’s chosen one.
# Excerpt of Book II
For forty millennia we struggled in the desert.
Time of infinity to grief our misgivings.
Time of eternity to stray without God’s guidance.
One can repent and pray for forgiveness.
But true meekness is one that has penetrated
And laid its roots in the very heart of a man.
The stars above will not weep for us parting.
The air we breathe won’t notice our disappearance.
The dirt of the earth will embrace our decadence.
Only in God can we thrive and grow. Only God.
# Kuria 4:23
Here we are. This is the world of God. We are his chosen ones.
This place, this planet of peace and abundance, he made for us.
It’s ours for the taking.
There will be obstacles and difficulties. That’s his test.
We must make his gift deserving.
This beginning. This birth of life. This dawn of greatness.
We can not fail, for we have the Emperor to lead us and destiny to follow.
# Second Letter of St. Junip of Aerui
Casting his sight on his realm,
The Lord witnessed the cascade of evil, the torrents of war.
Burning with wrath, He stepped down from the Heavens
To judge the unworthy, to redeem the pure.
# Book of Revelation 2:12
The Lord loosed upon them in his fierce anger
All of his fury and rage.
He dispatched against them a band of Avenging Angels
# Excerpt of Book of Revelations (?)
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them
# Excerpt of Book of Revelation
I give to you the destiny of Faith, and you will bring its message to every planet of every star in he heavens: Go forth, conquer in my Name, and reclaim which I have given.
# Book of Reclaiming 22:13
When the ears hear only
The mouth shouting
And the eyes see only
The fingers broken
The world has turned
And God has gone
Left us with fond memories
Of sweet life without pain.
# Apocalypse 8:18
At the end of days when they descend
Watch for the coming of the Ark
For within it
Salvation is carried.
# Apocalypse 32:6
Zakara saw the danger to his brother, and did not hesitate; without weapon or armour, he hurled himself at the beast, attacking with his bare hands. Enraged, the beast turned and struck Zakara, opening a terrible wound in his side. Seizing the moment, Garum ran his sword through the beast’s heart, thus ending the battle victorious. But Zakara, mortally wounded, cried out in pain. “You sacrificed yourself for me,” Garum said, taking his hand. “We are brothers,” Zakara answered, just before breathing his last. “And in God we shall remain brothers for all of time…”
# Book of Prophet Junip 10:25-30
Which test reveals more of the soul - the test that a man will take to prove his faith, or the test that finds the man who believed his faith already proven? If you know this answer, then you also know which of these challenges bear the greatest penalty for failure. The gates of paradise will open for you one time only; woe to the soul who dares to knock twice.
# Mission 5:14
Only through many hardships
Is a man stripped to his very foundations
And in such a state
Devoid of distractions
Is his soul free to soar
And in this
He is closest to God
# Book of Missions 42:5
Our Lord smiles upon the world.
Where the Emperor rules in his name
Leading his people to glory untold.
Hearken the trumpets of Heaven
Hailing the people of Amarr.
# Anoyia 17:21
And so it has been said,
Under the true Empire, Honour, Power and Glory of God.
Hail Amarr!
