《LML》Introduction
Advertisement
It’s been 1516 years since the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, which heralded the end of the apocalypse. When people wallowed in sins and disbelief, when the reign of the Antichrist prevailed; doomsday happened, it put an end to Satan’s power and the existence of his kingdom on Earth. God was angry with people and sent them many natural disasters: the heavens opened, and a rain of fire fell from them, the earth was covered with cracks, from which demons from Hell began to crawl out into the light of God, many rivers overflowed their banks, and the sea level rose, flooding many islands, angels descended from heaven and punished the cities and states of people, as once Sodom and Gomorrah, leaving only ruins of them. Only those who truly believed in God survived, and it was to them that the Lord sent the messiah, who pointed out the path of correction. He gathered people around him and recreated the true church from the ruins. Christ left them a new testament and went to distant lands in order to unite the sons of God under the bosom of the Christian faith. Instead of himself, he left apostles, who continued the righteous work. More than one and a half thousand years have passed since the day of his departure to distant lands, and since then the church of the Second Coming has gathered around itself the entire human race to direct it to the light of truth.
Foreword
After the founding of the holy city of Cinto on the island of Corsica in 552 and the formation of the Holy Kingdom of Sardinia in 916, the Christian church of the Second Coming began to extend its influence to the nearest territories. Thus by the year 1096 the young kingdoms of Genoa, Pisa, Naples, San Marino, Veneto, and other kingdoms and counties of Italy were under the control of his holiness. Then the missions of the church spread their influence to the territories of the Spanish kingdoms, Monaco, as well as the regions of the Alps, Austria, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, and Southern Germany. At the time of 1190, all the civilized states of the Mediterranean entered the bosom of the church. In 1131 the Kingdom of Aragon-Castile began a sacred campaign into the depths of the Iberian Peninsula to spread the true faith, as well as to cleanse the lands of heresy and demons. The Christian world spread to the entire northern Mediterranean, and Christian ships also reached the coasts of Ireland, Britain, Scandinavia, the Baltic principalities, the Black Sea, the Caucasus, Asia Minor, North Africa, and the Middle East. The main problem on the way of people was not only weather conditions but also sea monsters, which are considered underwater demons. Also, not all lands are inhabited by people: many territories are empty or completely unsuitable as a place to live. Rare cities and principalities barely cope with their protection. It was for the salvation of the children of God that the Pope of Corsica blessed the development of the lands of former Spain, France, Germany, and the Balkan Peninsula. At the time of 1437, the following kingdoms and counties are under the bosom of the church: Papal Corsica and Sardinia, the Kingdom of Genoa, Pisa, San Marino, Naples, Sicily, Monaco, Aragon-Castile, Andora, Portugal, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Lombardy, Bologna, Veneto, Slovenia, Bavaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, and their colonies. Apostates and Old Believers from the polis of Greece and the Kingdom of Bulgaria, Ireland, and the island of Crimea are beyond the patronage of the church. Brothers from the Balkan and Polish cities are eager to join. There are pagans of Finland in the north, as well as throughout North Africa, Asia Minor, and the Middle East, old Muslims and other new confessions have settled. But the main problem for all people remained demons, which interfere with the settlement of the human race. Already by 687, for the sake of a fight against the demons, orders of chivalry, which originate from zealots of the faith, mercenary warriors and other brothers and sisters in arms, which devoted their lives to the fight against the demons from the very appearance of them in this world, began to form. It was only in 687 when the Order of the Holy See or the Scarlet Order was formed by the Pope of Corsica. Then other important orders of chivalry began to appear, such as: Order of Knights of the Hospital (Veneto), Order of the Templars (Monaco), Order of Tau (San Marino), Order of Santiago (Aragon-Castile), Order of St. Maurice (Genoa), Teutonic Order (Bavaria), Order of Avisa (Portugal), Order of St. Lazarus (Slovenia), Order of Christ (Andora), Order of the Dragon (Hungary), Order of the Holy Spirit (Luxembourg), Order of St. George (Czechia). The holy duty of knights is to destroy demons and heresy. Throughout their centuries-old history, the holy warriors have boldly eradicated the enemies of the human race, making the life of the servants of God safer. It was thanks to the efforts of the knights and regular armies that the cleansing of central Italy, almost all of northern Italy, as well as the kingdom of Monaco and San Marino, Sardinia, the Kingdom of Liechtenstein, and some other especially silted-up areas was achieved. However, the heresy spread by lost souls seduced by the Devil can be hidden under the personal identity of an ordinary man, so their work in cultural regions is not over yet. The main scourge of our era is the artifacts of the ancients. These strange, rather dangerous devil toys are randomly scattered around the world. They carry a great danger since it is because of them that heresy often occurs. Every Christian should beware of such things, avoid ancient ruins, not only out of caution but also because of the danger of catching heresy there. All those who disobey the words of the church are waiting for an inevitable punishment. For this purpose, there is a holy inquisition, and knights also have the right to make a trial of heretics. If the artifacts of the ancients seem safe, then they should be transferred to the church or an order. Their future fate will be decided there since it was established by Pope Pontiff V that not all artifacts of the ancients are a threat. A few of them can serve the benefit of the human race. However, after the reforms of 1436, the immediate destruction of all the artifacts of the ancients was established, and if it is impossible to destroy them, then they should be locked up in special places or sent to the holy tomb in Sardinia.
