Hail to you, capsuleers of the Summit,
I am Aldrith Shutaq, former Grand Master and current Seneschal of the Knighthood of the Merciful Crown. I appear before you today to announce the reformation of the Order, nine months after the disbandment of its initial incarnation.
To those of you who do not know of me, I will not endeavor to tell you who I am, as it is not my place to do so. Only my actions may reveal my character, and I need not be known by those who are not affected by them.
To those of you who knew me before, I greet you once again, however unwillingly. I feel that I owe you an explanation for my departure some months ago, at the very least. I will lend you this in private should you wish to hear; simply send me a message and I will write a letter to each I receive a request from.
Now, this communication is not about me, but about the Knighthood I founded two years ago, and its future path. To address this, I defer to the OrderGÇÖs new Grand Master, Ser GerGÇÖAnte Otheiran. |

It would be rude to wish those who live in perpetual night a good day, so I will kindly withhold the sentiment.
I am Grand Master GerGÇÖAnte Otheiran, of the hamlet of Oth on Kihtaled IV, fiefdom of Lord Gosunta Fultan, Holder of the Khanid Kingdom, domain of King Khanid II. I am leader of the Order of the Weeping Sun first, then of the reformed Knighthood of the Merciful Crown second. Yet despite this, I intend to lead both as a true son of each order, by my honor and my strength. If I were able I would opt for the same course of action as my student Aldrith and not speak of myself, but since you walking corpses are generally ignorant of anything that goes on beyond your small slivers of space, I feel the need to clarify some things before you begin thinking of me as one of your fellows.
I am not one of you. I possess the dignity of still being able to call myself a man, unlike most of you flesh-stealers. Some may think me presumptive in my judgment of your inhumanity, yet I would call them ignorant at best, and self-deluded f*ck-wits at slightly less than best. I know full well that some of you have enough humanity left in you to be called something vaguely resembling GÇÿgoodGÇÖ, but sorting you out from the demons that infest your world will be a slow process.
I am like you in one sense, however, in that I am not an entirely natural human: I am a cyber knight. And I am a damned proper one as well. I believe in honor. I believe in justice. I believe that the strong ought to protect the weak, rather than take advantage of them. Most of all, I believe that there is God-given good in this sh*t-hole cluster that needs to be glorified and protected at all costs, unto my very permanent death. I also f*ck people who do not believe in these noble concepts with an armored, cybernetically enhanced fist. And as I hear it, these concepts are woefully lacking amongst your kind.
I, and the Knighthood of the Merciful Crown, intend to change this.
This Knighthood, henceforth, shall be a collection of capsuleer warriors who serve not themselves, not a lord, and not a single people. It shall follow one thing: that God-given good that is the sole thing worth living for in this universe.
This Good is also the sole thing worth fighting for. The Knighthood shall be dedicated to this fight, and shall not compromise in it. Those who uphold the Good shall be glorified and protected. Those who ignore it shall be ignored. And those who harm it shall be deposed in the most cruel manner. An evil capsusleer may not die if they truly do not wish to; I know this. But everything around him can: his ships, his assets, his reputation, his followers, his false empire, his spirits and his minds. ALL of these shall be scratched, hacked at and immolated GÇÿtil the wicked is laid before the feet of the righteous, bloody and broken and crying for a mercy which will not be given.
However the task of slaying immortal, all-powerful demons is an eternal one. I do not have the arrogance to claim I can perform this task, nor the power to even begin to try. But you lot sure as hell do.
If there are demons amongst you capsuleers, then there are also angels. These angels must be found and made to fight this eternal fight. The Knighthood of the Merciful Crown shall endeavor to do just this. Those found shall become true Knights, if not in title then in spirit, and they shall spread the will to fight back the sickening blackness that exists in the capsuleer heart. Perhaps one day that blackness will not the terrifying cancer it is today, but there is much work to be done.
May all who dare allow that darkness into their minds be dragged kicking and screaming into the light by His servants, and may they suffer as that light burns them into ash. May those who perform this task rejoice at the glory they bring unto the world, and may they be eternally rewarded. This is a hopeless dream, but it is one that must be dreamt.
And may a bloody death be brought to all you c*nts who would try to stop it.
NO HONOR FOR THE HONORLESS, NO MERCY FOR THE MERCILESS. |

Hmm. Welcome back to the fold Shu'taq.
Grand Master Otheiran. I cannot say that your black and white view of the world and faith is anything but completely outdated and old fassioned, despite this completely idiotic point of view your aims at least seem to be... acceptable, perhaps enough so to even with you some medium of success.

I see Brother Otheiran's extensive training did not include the niceties of polite conversation and conducting ones self with some decorum, unlike many of the other Knights I've had the pleasure of meeting.
Perhaps the Order of the Weeping some forgot to buy the skillbook on manners?
"Cunts", indeed, Sir Knight.

I'll keep that in mind next time I have to address a large audience with Matari in it. Apparently they prefer being insulted, cursed at and generally using more foul mouthed language than is generally plausible.
Because of course, politeness has no value to anyone but Amarr.... |

Let's hope that this time they can avoid the mistakes of the past. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori. |

Well, well. Hello again.
We had a chance to get reaquainted last night in Tararan. I must say, it was a pleasant reunion.
I find humor in people calling him out for past "mistakes", whatever those may be, when the ones saying such things have not been seen actually fighting in the warzone for, oh.... two years? Mmm, how people do throw stones. Or for language... I found Mr. Otheirans's words straightforward, clear, and concise. You promise action, and I have already seen, firsthand, that this promise is not as empty as most made here.
If only more people would say what they meant, and then follow it up with deed.
Your cause is flawed, but your goals are noble. One out of two isnt bad. Welcome back, Aldrith, and KotMC.

Brother Blake was referring to I believe perceived lapses in moral conduct from the Knighthood on more than one occasion, not the endless tidal fluctuations of the faction war.

This. It was a particular subset of the Knighthood's old membership that Rodj was referring to, one that was prone to temper tantrums and the like when not getting their way - even when that would've gone against the Knighthood's values and policies.
Hopefully without their presence, things will run more smoothly this time.
It's good to see you're still around, Aldrith. Good luck with this new (or rather, more refined) direction. Sounds like you'll need it for a while. |

Old grudges and inter Amarrian conflicts. Those things belong to the past, and have yet to be demonstrated again, which is purely speculative at this point.
And yes, mistakes were done. Who can claim not to do any of them ?

You sound so sure of yourself.

If Ms Shalee Lianne was being refered to by mistakes, then we might disagree on what were the past Knighthood's mistakes.

Welcome back, Aldrith. I was expecting to roll my eyes and despair at yet another group funding the arms dealers with nothing to show for it... but I'm pleasantly surprised. I look forward to seeing where the Knighthood goes. Planetside business is occupying me right now, but I'll be in touch soon...
Now for the important question: when does the Keep reopen? And are you keeping a chair for me by that fireplace? |

Some initial details and points of clarification:
Leadership
Due to CONCORD regulations, non-capsuleers may not be officially recognized as CEO's of capsuleer corporations. Grand Master Otheiran also does not possess the SoCT skills necessary for effective management, nor the means by which to learn them. For legal and practical purposes I will be remaining as the official CEO of the corporation.
His tenure as Grand Master of the Knighthood of the Merciful Crown is intended to be temporary; he will remain in the position until either I am deemed fit to lead alone or another capsuleer is chosen ahead of me. I fully recognize him as the true leader of the Knighthood for however long he deems his leadership to be necessary, and as Seneschal I devote my absolute loyalty to him. I will be his right-hand and advisor in all matters, and will carry out his will upon command.
Additional advisors shall (Masters) be selected from the Knighthood's ranks as needed.
Recruitment
Prospective knights will be judged based upon their morale fibre, as well as both their willingness and ability to stand up for those morals through space combat. Proof shall come from sources beyond the individual in question as determined on a case-by-case basis. Those who have committed crimes in the eyes of the Knighthood will be turned away until those sins have been cleansed by confession, corporal punishment and a period of penitential slavery to the Knighthood. All must appear before the Grand Master personally before they are approved for any position, at which time they will take an oath fitting their starting role in the Order.
You may contact me for inquiries about joining. Otherwise, I may approach you.
Mercy's Keep
Mercy's Keep is currently undergoing many changes after its nine months of minimal use. I am obligated to tell you at this point that the Keep itself is in fact, and always has been, the ancestral property of the Order of the Weeping Sun. The Knighthood of the Merciful Crown is allowed to use the Keep for its planet-based headquarters fee of charge by virtue of their kindness. The Order is also being merged with the Knighthood of the Merciful Crown's infrastructure, and a quarter of their ranks (about fifty) will always be housed within the Keep.
Visitors will have to be approved prior to entry and requests are now being accepted. The area immediately outside the Keep will be public, as it is not officially under the control of the Order. However, visitors are advised that the Ministry of Internal Order and Amarrian military keep a close eye on all capsuleer traffic around the Keep and we actively cooperate with them. You will come at your own risk.
Please direct requests for admittance to me. You will then be allowed entry to the Public Hall upon its re-opening, planned within a week. |

There are many, many things I like better than an Archbishop sermon. It is a low bar to meet. |
