Rejected Fate posted:I would like to petition our liege for a better coat of arms Our coat of arms tells me one thing, friend: this "Gothia" is a sham, ruled by a degenerate and aesthetically illiterate half-breed! No, our rightful king reigns in so-called Belgica, under the glorious golden lion! Death to the traitorous Lugdunum cabal! Death to the Triarius pretenders! Long live the Amalings (and their lovely flag)!

How perfect! This pretender and his Orthodox wench can only produce corpses and girls. Surely our lords will see the light? The Triarius are accursed by God, rejected by the Almighty, along with every poor soul trapped under their rule! These are but the first of the punishments to come! The Amalings must be restored for a truly united and holy Gothia!

Does Triarius decadence, depravity and degeneracy know no bounds?! Thiudareiks dares to call himself the king of Armorica, knowing that it belongs only to the true lord of the Goths? He holds tournaments and throws parties with his heretic wife and other Septimanian filth, parading his repulsive half-breed sons as if they were worth anything! It's sickening to see, but redemption is coming for Gothia, oh yes. The Triarius are no doubt too deep in the cups to understand that the realm they stole will shatter upon the usurper's death. The Amalings will restore themselves, even if they have to wait! Gothia will be reborn, stronger and greater than it was before!

Curse the Triarius! They who ally themselves with heretics and foreigners to keep the Goths divided! They who proudly slaughter the just servants of the rightful king! They, who by their very existence, doom the Goths to weakness, separation and irrelevancy! Their annihilation cannot come quickly enough!

It is all so clear to me now. The Triarius and the Amalings mean nothing! Gothia has been rent asunder for it's trust in what has proven to be a false faith! I say now, before you all, that Arius was a heretic! I say that his misguided and damned children slaughter each other for the want of any true spiritual satisfaction, any true faith! But what is the answer? The Imperial Creed has seen the Orthodox realms around us prosper. The Zoroastrians have won glory in the East. Favor seems to shine on all but the Arians! Whatever the truth is, then, I say Arianism is a lie! I condemn it and its bastard children! I demand that the rulers of Gothia find a real religion!

Gothia embraces heresy, and Belgica is all but destroyed! We are reduced to an Imperial lapdog, a slave of the accursed House of Lepidoso! I would drat you King Gabriel, if you had not already done it yourself! May your reign be short, may your sons die in the crib, and may your deeds be erased from history!

catlord posted:I swear to God you were just saying we should convert from Arianism. I'm starting to suspect that you might just be wildly contrarian! I was saying that, it's true! However, even if I thought we might need to adjust Arianism, it certainly didn't mean I wanted Gothia to embrace Orthodoxy, of all things. My opposition comes more from what we converted to rather than the conversion itself. Seeing the debased lengths the accursed Triarius have gone to for mere temporal stability have changed my opinion further: Arianism was wrong, but far less wrong than Orthodoxy. There must be, is, another, correct faith on the other end of this spectrum, one Gothia should be striving for. But, if Arianism is the closest we can come, it's adequate.

So, the king of the drunks can't even be bothered to devote himself to his false faith? Coward! His drive to expand, though, would almost be admirable if it weren't so limited in scope. How will Gothia ever be restored if these middling campaigns for these worthless and minuscule strips of land are all the accursed Triarius are able to muster? It shall never be! And look at our supposed allies in Hispania! All of Iberia is theirs! How long before Septimania is crushed, before Aquitaine is subjugated, before we are enslaved once more to the Romans?! Our drunkard king has already sold our souls to them, has he not? He already licks their Patriarch's boots, soon he will travel to Cartagena and submit to the Emperor! We must prevent this! We must restore the Arian creed, force this spiritual mercenary into one of those monasteries, and subjugate all the lesser realms that surround us, starting with the traitors in Armorica!

There is no hope left, no salvation, only the rule of heathen tyrants on earth, and the rule of Satan below. That is all that awaits humanity!

Ofaloaf posted:The biggest weakness of the HRE is that, being a theocracy and all, it can't arrange normal marriage alliances. As far as single realms go it's still fairly strong, and I don't think I've even seen one HRE civil war yet, but if it's not in a holy war, nobody's going to be even able to ally with it. Is the HRE a titular title? I'm really surprised that it hasn't really tried expanding all that much, especially against those Sicilian counts.

GSD posted:I am sure the roman realm will be a perfectly stable one from now on, forever. Indeed! How could this not be the case? How could the masses of Hispania, once given a taste of (relatively) true Christian rule, not easily submit once more to lies of Roman Orthodoxy? The Triarius traitors must think they have chained a great beast, but already I can hear it: the yearning for freedom, the hunger for for faith, and, yes, the rage of the oppressed! Soon, the coward Lalan will be deposed! Soon, an Arian Emperor will cross the Pyrenees and restore the faith in all of Gaul! Soon, new Arian legions will crush the pagans of Britain, the accursed papists in Rome, and even the degenerate sister-fuckers of Africa! ( Anomoean) Arianism's triumph is inevitable!

The last Anomoean kingdom, lost! Carthage, fallen from the hands of the pagans into the hands of heretics! Britain itself is soiled by the presence of the Orthodox! But that is not the worst of it. No, that is the all but assured rebirth of the Roman Empire with an accursed Triarius as its master, finally with the power to extinguish the true faith forever, and to inflict their heresies across Europe! It cannot last, it cannot hold! Arianism cannot die such a death!
