The return of the Order of Patriots

[FirstAmongstDaves]

York. Mired in weakness. Ill-disciplined. Diseased, of the soul. Huddled in darkness.

The Order of Patriots has returned. Order has returned. A cure for the sickness. A bright light to burn away the shadows and the pathetic weakness, leaving only bright steel.

We hereby assume command of the City of York. All pirates and natives on the York Peninsula are condemned to death. Traders from Durham and Derby must first report for registration with Josiah Winthrop.

You do not join us. In the tradition of the Order, if you are worthy, we will approach you.

- D.F. Hart
A Judge of York
For the Order of Patriots

[Josiah Winthrop]

If ye shall protect the First Churches, and advance the Commonwealth of Christ's New Jerusalem, then the York Christian Covenant shall support thee and thine whole heartedly and aid thee in advancing the Civil Sword which protecteth the Predestined Lambs.

We would ask, however, for a slight amendment to thy proposal and that the Order of Patriots shalt not only tolerate but also protect those Confessing Christians amongst the natives who have turned to Christ and accepted His Atonement, for the good of their souls. Our mission to Ragmocok has born some fruit and some natives have turned to Christ and, of accord, are desirous of visiting the Churches of the New Jerusalem, which are housed in York, like the Old Temple of Jerusalem. We think it necessary, and expedient, for the betterment of Christian Civilization and the advancement of Christ's Kingdom that these should be welcomed into the bosom of God the Father and the merciful bowels of Christ's Redemption, and that York might be a safe heaven for such converts.

Last Laugh on the new but most likely temporary government: I've become disillusioned with York law, what I thought was law was in fact anarchy. I tend to get the two confused, but now I see clearly what I'm here for. To have a good time, and damned be any law that gets in my way! Um, but first, can someone remind me where my hometown is, I seem to have forgotten... I'm from the town of Sterling right? That's a town around here, isn't it?

Very well. So long as you guarantee their behaviour, Primate Winthrop.

If they be doing the Devil's work in the New Jerusalem, then I commend thee to do thy sacred duty and use the Sword of the Secular Arm to punish them. If they do the Devil's work then they be no true Christians indeed, and have proven themselves to be Reprobate and no members amongst the Elect.

Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do, We do.

Who keeps Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We do, we do.

Who keeps back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
We do, we do.

Who robs cavefish of their sight?
Who rigs every Oscar night?
We do, we dooooooo.

As a long standing OoP member, a founder of the DCoY and one time Chairman of the York Federation, I, G. Food, support Mr. Justice Hart in his endeavours and shall be seeing him shortly in and around York.

[Raffles]

I hope this happens. I love fresh victims.

[Billfred]

Raffles! You again!

I still have your face on my wall from the good old days. Alas, I've long retired from my active duties, Hazen gave me a comfortable desk job with plenty of perks.
I'll make sure the poster gets reprinted though!

[Maj. Arcana]

The Order has been gone for a long time. They do not know their own city anymore. I have been chosen by GOD ALMIGHTY to teach them how things are done now. For I am the one that teaches the holy things, and in York that means love of one's city and one's GOD.

For I am The Hierophant. Fight me and I'll make you wish you stayed in your graves, deserters.

[Billfred]

The Order has always been about out Lord Christ, we smite the native heathen and teach the peaceful ones the way of God.

I set up Monasteries in every village and protectorate when I was Chairman.

What have you done eh?

[Raffles]

He's united people in loathing of him.

Well, annoyance of him at least.

There's your first mistake. Showing mercy to the 'peaceful'. The primitives will only be saved when purifying fire burns their sinful ways from existence, and that is a task for GOD alone. To say otherwise is blasphemy.

Brother Josiah is doing good work preaching to the natives of Ragmoceck, but his converts are a breed apart from the mainland savages. They have no wicked culture to scour clean, no heathen religion except animal instinct. If a man can teach a dog to sit a Christian can teach a half-man to kneel, even if it is but dumb pantomime.

Your 'Order' was a sham. You invited foreigners to sup at your table and they poisoned you with a smile. You threw out the pirate scourge, well done, but a Derby man is no different from a pirate except that his clothes are cleaner. A Durhamite may not speak like a water-rat but he will steal from you just the same, steal your GOD-given resources, steal your women, steal your pride. You took advice from foreign hounds and walked right into the Hunter's trap, stretched yourselves out too far, let your city go to rot so you could play at diplomacy, play at conquest. Bah! You let the foreigners stab out your hearts and replace love of York for love of self.

And now here come you after the wars are long past, still celebrating your glories, your triumph over the heathen Wikkies. You think yourself worthy to re-take your place at my city's defense? You disgust me. We in York do not bow to ancient title like the loathsome Rakkies do, we work and slave for our just honours. Prove your worth or begone!
