Plea for a strong regime,



Chaos haunts the land, no strong power claimed its rightful governorship over the region of Eriador.Countless bands of mercenaries do as they wish within the realm and vow to do all they do to protect the "Free-people". There are those who wish to call this freedom. But not I, No I call this a mess, a blatant full blown mess.. where the fox managed to slip into the chicken coop and now goes around for the slaughter.

It is in these times that I wonder why no strong man has claimed his rightful place as monarch of and above the people. One must be destined by divine right to rule these lands as its sole monarch.
For authority is instilled in a man whom is already destined for greatness by the Creator himself. If such an individual would manage to arise and overthrow the madness of the days in which we live, he may claim his divine right to rule thus ensuring his claim on the land. It is rallying behind such an individual that we as a race are destined for greatness and glory.

Mankind without a sturdy hand keeping it in check, is destined to eventually fall into ruin.
My hopes go to a new kingdom, ruled by a strong monarch. Fair and wise, but cruel and cunning if the need arises. The beast that is humanity should always be kept caged, as to protect it against itself, and ensure peace and prosperity for all.

This is my take on the world in these late days of the third age, and I hope many of you are wise enough to share similar thought alongside of mine.

Belethui-

A strand of Belethui's latest thoughts, "Based on Divine-Right/Droit Divin, Jean Bodin"

"Note: I did my tried to fit this into Tolkiens world the best I could, I wanted to try my hand at experimenting with a philosophy inside of the universe as created by Tolkien, feel free to write an IC, or private OOC reply if you wish to do so, I know that this is not a complete interpretation of Bodins work,  I am familiar with the real world Divine-Right, and it's use.I hope that I have respected the lore well enough and meant no harm toward it"

This Plea has been nailed to the town-hall billboard.

With the motives of provoking a discussion about military groups "kinships" and their right to act as protectors of the people and their enforcing of this right by engaging in combat. And as a plea to search for a strong regime to more efficiently rule the land.
