Recognizing The Wise Northern SoulWhen the news of Paul the Explorer visiting these lands broke it solved many questions regarding the 'wise man who visits from Northern shores', indeed many Rosari scholars point to a variety of reforms in the Rosari Faith following this time. Islyna's Code, that which all Rosari are instructed to keep in their daily lives, is thought to have been heavily influenced by ideals which Paul shared with our People during his travels here. Prior tothe isolation of East Moreland, prior to our meeting in the modern era, ties were made, influences imparted, that even at this time of impasse we must mutually honour.
That the Rokkenjiman and Morelander Peoples are connected by this common bond is of no accident, for our very Rosari Faith speaks of a 'grand alliance to preserve order from chaos'. I firmly believe that the forces aligned to chaos, those of Charles the Great Betrayer, saw fit to sow the seeds of discontent to further the agenda of chaos, and thus far, he has won. No longer, I say. To admit the Rosari Faith, although older than that of the Cult officially, is indeed influenced by Paul himself, is a matter we should take pride in. A man wise beyond his own mortality, we should all take a moment to revere him just as we do Islyna herself.
It truly pained me when Grand Marshal Henry Cole who, like myself is, a descendant of Paul the Explorer, determined it best to remain here in Rokkenjima whilst East Moreland laid him to rest. In response I have requested his early resignation, a request he has fulfilled, and thus I announce that Admiral Alex Rowe is our newly appointed Grand Marshal of the Imperial Rokkenjiman Armed Forces.
I also proclaim the date upon which this link was discovered a national day of reverence, as well as declaring an eternal reverence to East Moreland for the knowledge their ancestor shared with our earliest of peoples. That they have shaped our nation so deeply and strongly is of little surprise to me, for the Rosari Faith has always called upon us to
'look to the Northern shores for the wisdom of the ages, for you are descended from the North yourself. Thus spake the Wise Northern Soul.'Not only shall we revere this past but we shall honour them into the future: today I proclaim a national mobilization to see that our beliefs and practices are unmistakable from our foreign policy. Paul the Explorer, or the Wise Soul from the North as he is known here, we shall honour you in all our actions as a nation. For, without him, we would have been without a rudder. To think that the Rosari Faith, older than that of our Morelander friends, could have been so heavily influenced by Paul; that thought truly humbles me. I thank both Paul himself and the Morelander People for blessing us as such.
A most happy "Paul" Day to you all.
