[color=9e0b0f]Humanity is the sole object worthy of worship.[/color] From the [i]Analects[/i] of Justinian the Lawgiver, God-King of All Avara - [b][i]To All Subject Sovereigns, Highest Servants of the Law and Lawgiver, Protectors of Humanity:[/i][/b] [i]In this the Fourteenth Month of the Two Hundred and Thirty Fourth Year Since the Giving of the Moste Holy Law, In the Name of the Dread Authority Whence All Authority Flows, Greetings, faithful one. The Somnus Imperium has failed its god and Humanity. It must be punished, scourged of impurities, and built anew. Its decadence, laxity and insufficient zeal for the Law allowed the Plague of Madness to spread unchecked. Now these so-called sons and daughters of Sacrosanctum slay each other in what remains of their Imperium, fighting for the now-meaningless title of Emperor, willfully ignorant of the commands of their god and the requirements of the Law. Across His World, the foul worshipers of the Vanquished Crone and the red demons advance into once hallowed territory, the Unclean spread disease and disharmony, monsters abound. You, servants, must correct this. Unite your armies with those of your brother Sovereigns and restore order to the lands of the Imperium. Control the spread of the Plague, drive the subhumans and foreigners from hallowed land, and put down the rogue elements and armies who everywhere devour and destroy, endangering our glorious future. From among you who carry out this task shall be anointed a New Emperor, who will carry the Law to the farthest reaches of Avara, and destroy the moon-worshipers and wicked sorcerers who oppose the progress of Sacred Mankind. Obey and be rewarded. [/i] Issued by Caius Faustus, Uppermost Servitor of the Divine Temple-Palace, In the Name of Justinian, God-King of All Avara, Master of Mankind
