“The Holy and Noble Communion and Imperial Covenant of the Ways of the Old Blood, or, as some say, simply the Communion. A unity of cosmopolitan peoples, in truth, rising from degenerate years of tyranny, destruction, and despotism. A sovereign renaissance of creativity, prosperity, and eternal progress. A trans-modern, post-nation, post-state covenant unified by determination and faith. A revolutionary society of peoples, mutually co-existing in pluralistic counsel, driven to be the future and co-existent within the traditions of the old and the efficient. A growth of majesty and beauty, blossoming from a world that knows only soot, tarnish, and the gray plains of war and devastation.
“We are a united conglomerate forged out of the willingness to discard and disregard the mistakes of the past century and drive ourselves forward into the mystery of the beyond. Some have view this goal as transcendental, even sublime, while others have criticized our ways and methodology as hedonistic or even self-destructive. Perhaps all accusations are true, merely garnered from differing perspective. What cannot be denied, however, regardless of the perspective one chooses to assume, is the success of our survival; our unrelenting drive to persist and to maintain. To continue along the path, even as the rain washes it away.
“This is how we - the Kyrus, the Kyrusian people – have lived, have acted. We have gripped onto life, hand-over-fist, since the first Khjrois erected their palatial homes deep within the mountains, to the days when the first Ungyar, mounted on their swift steeds, passed onto the Kyrusian Steppe. Through the harsh winters, to the blistering droughts, to war and revolution, and even the most grave of weapons being unleashed from the mouth of the beast that is discrimination and misunderstanding. We have persisted, we have grown, and we have flourished. No singular act, regardless of magnitude, has been permitted to eradicate our presence from the world. Enemy, ally, or insurgent, all have failed in their manipulations and their strive to quell the insatiable growth of the people of Kyrusia. We are a force eternal, of both nature and man.
“Perhaps that is why our enemies cower and our allies shout in victory of our transcendence and our desire to over-come that which has become normalcy and the status quo. Perhaps it is this construction, this motivation, to surpass what some have termed the 'Age of the Nation-state' to craft an identity, a sovereign entity that refuses to conform to the demarcations of what it means to be 'sovereign' and 'powerful.' A fear of the future, some say, grips the world and holds humanity steadfast. A fear of the evolution of not simply the species, but the culture, the hegemony, the very super-structure of the collectivity of human interaction and relation. This fear, it rips and tears, erodes and abolishes progress, stifling prosperity beneath the tower of inadequacy and sheer, unbridled terror.
“It would be foolish to say, however, that the path we tread is one of utopian peace and ease. On the contrary, for we walk a path that has itself become degraded and eroded, washed-away by the deluge of crisis and labor that we steadily march toward. We are not a people of peace or contentment. Even from our earliest establishment, from our earliest institutions, we have proven – time and time again – to be a combative people. Whether spiritual or physical, we have been motivated for more; forced never to rest, to cease, or become complacent with our status and our station. Our unwillingness to compromise; our unwillingness to accept that which seems to be infinite and timeless.
“This unwillingness, this drive, has forced us to war not only within, but without. From the times of revolutionary fervor, where brother fought brother, to the conflicts of ideology and economics, we have been thrust onto the battlefield to lay forth the remains of what we once were for review. Such a conflict, such a war, now lies before us, just beyond this precipice. Just beyond the yawning maw of the gaping chasm of shadow and tribulation that the future holds to bear. Yet, we will not falter, we will not waver, we will continue, marching forward, eternal and dominant. We will accept death as the only compromise, not with ourselves nor our enemies, but with the cosmos itself.
“So look, We do ask, upon Our people, upon our land, and our ways. Inspect us, watch us, and review our every nuance, our every flavor, our every detail, for we are what is to become. We are the path which leads not merely to the future, but to survival. Look upon us, for we are the mighty and the unrelenting, and we shall bring forth a new age of man, a new time, and a new world for all of humanity to behold...”
