// Praetorian Temple Library - Great Hall soundtrack //
In the heart of the Throne Worlds, The Praetorian Temple Library stands as a massive golden library suite located right next to the PIE headquarters in the Emperor Family Academy station hovering above the planet Osis, Amarr VIII.
Upon entering the massive complex, one is confronted by a massive circular Great Hall with the PIE insignia covering the temple walls. The Great hall is surrounded by six additional halls, all of which contains several huge golden databanks that are guarded by statues of past Emperors and saints.

Do you have, or can you direct me to any current example of Amarrian social or youth culture?
((Yes, this could be considered a standard RP thread. And proper discussions is allowed to enhance the knowledge of Amarrian traditions and life))
The Amarr majority value the empirical experience that comes with age, in combination with a vitality that enables longevity. It comes down to a certain degree of status. There are even reports of youths that wear make-up to appear older. With the holy documents discribing the Sacred Flesh, one can understand that the Amarr value life more than any other race in the cluster - as in not foolishly embracing the cloning technology without a second thought.
The vast imperial city of Dam-Torsad has an interesting social culture and is famous for its collective communion.
There are also several documents on nobilities, wealthy commoners and other people worth taking into account when studying the Amarr way of life.
Furthermore, the Speakers of Truth concentrated on building a reputation as an outstanding educational establishment, offering both a private curriculum for select children of Holders and a free education program for those children of Commoners who showed promise.
The Holder program gained them obvious popularity with the ruling classes, and eventually led to strong backing by those who had graduated from the Speakers' schools and risen to high public office.
The Commoner program, meanwhile, had a strong focus on religious studies, making it all the more popular among the lower orders within the Holders, who embraced any societal function that served to keep the Commoners obediant and faithful.
Lastly, there are studies that show differencies between Amarr and Gallente youths regarding drug-use. The sermons was brought to public attention by the Praetorian Archbishop himself some time ago.
"Social culture" or "youth culture" is considered an everchanging tradition in the Empire. While the majority may go about as they would, there are always new approaches one could take to look upon these situations. I recommend you take contact with the Amarr Civil Service if you need any more detailed statistics on the Amarrian way of life. |

The Paladin Templar approaches the amarrian soldier and listens to his request;
steadyhand amarr wrote:"im sorry to interrupt iv been tasked with reading up on the history of the faith do we have anything on how the faith is seen outside the empire" speaks steady in a oddly firm voice
He then notices a matari entering the temple grounds. Scanning and clearing the minmatar for any sorts of weapons or signs of violent behavior, he nods and listens to the self-proclaimed ammatar;
Damus Trifarn wrote:Damus, anxious to search for materials on his book, overhears Steady asking for information on how the faith is seen outside the Empire. Walking up to the Templars, Damus takes out a document and hands it to Templar Twelve.
"Ah, yes, the document. That is a reference to this fine collection of data, signed by the Director of the Research Division of the Anmatar Library. The letter is merely a list of my credentials to assure you of my academic credibility and validity of my reasons for being here. I understand the Amarrian perception of the Minmatar commands caution when you see me, but I assure you, my purposes for today are strictly academic.
You see, I wish to compile data for a book on Minmatar - Amarr relations from a Minmatar's point of view. To do this I will require some information on how others see the Empire, and I will use that to compare with the view of Minmatar society, hopefully spotting patterns in foreign behavior towards the Empire."
Listening the questions and looking through the document handed over by Damus, he ponders for a short second before starting:
"Outside relations with the scriptures, in which you both seek knowledge about, is more complicated than just discribing the relations others view the Word of God.
The Word, or the scriptures, to foreigners are often intertwined with their subjective view of the Empire as a whole. The situation is both good and bad, depending on the ongoing relation one has to the Empire."
...
"The Caldari way of life is quite easy to understand. It has been centered around the idea of achievement through hard work. Their overall manditory military service has served them well in keeping this ideology, while some still cling to "the way of the wind", a sort of old caldarian spirituality which also contains "The Maker". Through this, many Caldari find the Amarrian way of life and the true Word of God quite easy to comprehend, and not a big leap from their own ancestral ideas. "
"The Gallente Federation on the other hand, does include quite a growing numbers of believers, but still hides the facts in their politics. It doesn't make it any better with their view of democracy as one has to take the matter to down to an individual level seen to their way of life. They concentrate their values on the indivudal, turning a blind eye on the holistic viewpoint - the whole cluster. A bigger concern is their liberal viewpoints of drugs and likewise substances, which all contribute to a large proportion of the Gallentean people that remains chained to their way of life, unable to grasp the world outside the Federation - in other words; The scriptures and the wisdom that comes with it.
There has been times when the Amarr and the Gallente has seen some reason; such as when the great Emperor Heideran VII got the Aidonis, the symbol of inter-stellar peace and harmony.."
"The Minmatar Republic has been deeply affected by the Federation in ways I just mentioned - clinging to old beliefs while being subjugated and imprisoned by their own made-up ideologies. And while there are a growing number of the matari, except the Ammatar, people who actually sees the light of the Word despite the absence of the initial reclaiming efforts, the minority of the minmatar people who live in the republic is still subjects that need to be rescued from their heretical views."
...
"As said though, the Word and the Amarr Empire as a whole is often viewed as one.
In recent years, due to reports of initial increased tensions between the Minmatar and Amarr, also resulting in the war that their leader wanted, brought only more martyrs on the scene for the minmatar to greif or find hatred towards the Empire, and in this further cloud the republic views on the Scriptures."
"... Until the Amarr ends the on-going war against the heathens, I fear that martyrs and other false beliefs will be a part of the cluster in a large scale.
It is our collective work to see to it that the true Word and the golden history of the Amarr reaches the eyes and ears in the very corners of the galaxy. This, may even be your path - Looking straight at the Matari, then reciting words from the scriptures:
"I give to you the destiny of Faith,
And you will bring its message to every planet of every star in the heavens:
Go forth, conquer in my Name, and reclaim that which I have given."
Found in the Book of Reclaiming 22:13.
I hope this brought you some deeper insight of the situation. If not, do not hesitate to ask anyone else in here.
If you wish to go even deeper, I would like to forward you to Theology Council and their vast knowledge of the Word and its relations. " |

Damus Trifarn wrote:Damus, taking notes on Templar's references and insights, thanks him for the information.
"This will be quite useful for my book. I will be sure to come here in the future for any other inquiries; the quality and quantity of information here is staggering.
"Now, to answer your questions as to what my beliefs and views are:
"First and foremost I am part of the Minmatar Republic..."
"As for my personal beliefs: I have some questions on the Amarrian faith, so I'll leave those for later. As it is now, I see the Amarrian faith as a system that, while cohesive, has a few flaws that I've noticed over the years.
"If this revelation makes me unwelcome, I'll leave now. If you want to inquire of my concerns, feel free to do so. I've had dealing with True Adamance before on this issue, but I wouldn't mind having a discussion with any of the respected Templars working here."
Without hesitation the Paladin Templar is seen moving his right hand hovering above his scrambler pistol, as he talks in a crude but calm voice:
"If you are a enlisted soldier fighting for the Minmatar Republic, in other words - killing our brethren on a day to day basis; you will leave this place now.
I may have dignity, and even some sort of respect for another soldier's soul, but know that I will not hesitate to call on the station guards, nor throwing you out myself, and eject you out into oblivion - should there be any problem. "
"If, on the other hand, you have proof of this "cooperation" with the Republic and the Ammatar Mandate, and that you truly are an emissary for enhancing the knowledge of the Faith within the Republic, I may just change my mind..."
The Templar then reaches for the hilt of his amarrian nova sword on his back with his left hand, as he changes his stance.
"... What do you plead, Matari?" |

Damus Trifarn wrote:
"I plead nothing, Templar, but I state the obvious; I am a soldier of the Republic, and it takes no genius to guess by now what my mind is harboring..."
"In light of that, your assertions do not frighten me. I've been 'killed' before; once more will not trouble me in the slightest..."
"So, you have two choices: you can throw me out and not only go against everything you work for, to convert my 'barbaric' race to your faith, but also ignore the peace attempts for the sake of knowledge. On the other hand, you can talk to me and maybe even convert me, proving the mercy of your beliefs. I already know the rules of your philosophy well enough to know what your response should be; what it will be remains to be seen."
"I won't take your academic property if you deem me unwelcome, so here are my notes. Maybe the Amarr can at least benefit from the intellectual processes of a Matari if a mutually beneficial decision cannot be made."
The Templar had resumed his normal stance, as he turned away from the Matari, only to pick up his hand to his earpiece comm, obviously listening to some sort of transmission. He answers in amarrad, out in the open air, to an end-to-end communication.
After a while, he turns back to the matari with a somewhat calm approach:
"You are free to dwell in these halls, matari.
The temple grounds are supposed to implore His knowledge and wisdom, not stand as yet another battleground."
"Know also that we have no need for prisoners or to interrogate your kind. We already know what we need to know.
Although I must say; I do not envy your approach on death and what it ultimately means, as in your saying being "killed once more doesn't trouble you the slightest".
I will give you the luxury of a personal recommendation, that you read through our archives of the sacred flesh and contemplate on its meaning, even though you might not understand the essence of it. And beforehand, I would like to clarify that the belief of the sanctioned flesh is not entitled to the God chosen Emperors only."
"You have our permission to continue asking questions and documenting our public history and Faith."
The Templar turns, and before he walks away, without looking at the matari, he says:
"Your presence and activity is monitored, Damus Trifarn. We knew you the moment you entered the Empress-¦ station and stepped into these sacred halls". |

The Templar enters the temple library after a time of absence.
Reports tells of long periods of deployment behind enemy lines.
Nocturnal Soul wrote:Do you have anything on the khanid?
I've opened up the appropriate archives of the Kingdom. You may access the official one through the halls of the Imperial Records.
I would also recommend you going through a recorded video of an amarrian class where a teacher goes through the Signs of Faith.
Other than that, you may be interested in the history of the Khanid Unionists.
If there is anything else, templar, just ask.
Vinsarrow wrote:+1 excellent work, hope you don't mind but added somethings in my post linking people to the scriptures
btw just curious but will you be doing something similar with the other races?
I would bow to your fine words,
but to get to the important part - PIE nor myself would see no reason in starting up a library that would cover other the history of other races, since Amarr history is considered fact and is the deepest and most important of them all.
Meanwhile, me and my librarians are of course trained and learned in the other races history, especially Caldari history. If you would have any specific questions about their history, I may be able to enlighten you on some theories.
The few heretical scriptures or other history literature we have may be found in the halls of the Reclaiming.
Void Echo wrote:*Doniken enters the room, pleased to see that what hes come for is here waiting for him*
"hello all... where is the central part of the library?"
Greetings, and welcome to the Praetorian Library. As you enter the temple complex, you are directed through the Great Hall, this is considered the central part of the library. As you can see in the schematics described above, you may enter any of the public halls and dive into the knowledge they incarnate.
If you have any more questions, just ask. |

The Templar oversees workers and slaves as they are rising a giant statue of an Emperor in the middle of the Great Hall.
The magnificent statue now stands proudly over five meters (16 foot) tall and watches over, and welcomes, any faithful or those truly historic interested entering the temple.

"T12" walks around, attending to various guests and answering questions to those interested in the library's vast knowledge.
He takes notes of his former templar comrade, True Adamance, ensuring he is always welcomed in a good and proper way by all the attending workers and slaves in the library.
He notices some gallenteans entering, recognizing both of them. He looks without any facial expression at Aztec as he uses his stylus and then sits down and peer through the historical accounts.
T12 puts on a smile, and then turns and nods approvingly at Raven as he enters the temple complex.
The librarian templar remains standing just below the giant Emperor statue in the Great Hall in a proud stance. Occasionally typing on his datapad and issuing orders to the temple workers.

Before 12 could answer raven handed him a box with order 3: Templar5 written on the top
"Answer there" Raven said pointing to the box containing a password for a Neocom channel
Raven walks over to the anmarti and picks up the notepad from it's owner's hands and looks though it and hands it back
"Great skechs"
The librarian looks at Raven and takes the box, staring at it for a long time in silence before walking away to attend to another visitor.

worries that "others" will engage him thinking they will not know/remember him back when he use to be ammatar.
starts walking around until he finds some more history about the ammatar race and how learns more about thier type of "lifestyle" with the amarr.
after reading some of the book i notice Damus and walk over to him and said:
"why are you here, shouldn't you be in minmatar space or something, or are you reading about amarrian religion and lifestyle, or are you just collecting data?"
((this is my first time actually participating in a role-play so i apoligize if there i said something wrong or in the wrong way))
The librarian notices the Matari entering the temple complex, he nods in assurance at him and then sends a library worker, a young Sebiestor boy, to give the Matari a walk around the library, ensuring him that "The knowledge here is free in the eyes of the Lord".
Heathen Bastard wrote:Walking in and looking around sheepishly, Heathen waits until after the announcement and asks the Librarian "Do you have any information pertaining to the "sani sabik" sect?"
The librarian looks at Heathen with narrowed eyes, then says calmly "There are public files on the viscious Sani Sabik cult in the "Hall of Reclaiming" and points in the direction of it from the Great Hall.
The templar then picks up his personal neocom, and says:
"You may find more information on the cult you are seeking here, but beware of what you find in these documents. The followers of the Red God are never to be taken without precaution." as he sends over the data to Heathen's neocom:
The Sani Sabik - Origin of the Blood Raiders
The Covenant - Holobook
The Blood Raider Covenant - Data
Blood Raiders in the News
The templar librarian then turns off his neocom and puts it back. He turns and walk away towards the entrance of the Great Hall.
TempIar One wrote:Templar One walks in
Hello brother, I am looking for references to the betrayer Faus Akredon. Could you direct me to where I might find it?
The librarian looks with curious eyes on the templar that walked into the library.
Without hesitation, he opens up his neocom and types something into it.
A mans face appears on a holographic image above the neocom.
"The Commodore", the librarian says without emotion.
"The public records of the Battle of Vak'Atioth, located in the "Hall of the Righteous" contains the only information one should need to know about the betrayer and what he did. Although there are a few more facts recorded..."
Several imperial classified documents appears under the image:

The librarian walks up, standing right beside the Palatinus, Maikyl Metsar. He wears his usual amarrian robe and turns to nod approvingly to his brother.
He then turns to the Matari and speaks in a peaceful manner:
"You are most welcome to the temple library. I see the Palatinus has already assisted you in your search of knowledge in these halls."
The templar looks at Saren, giving up a smile behind his hood:
"I can see you are of the faithful, friend. His light has definately guided you here.
If there is anything else you need help with, just ask."

Today, the librarian once again gathers attendants and workers to the Great Hall. He stands infront of the Emperor statue, on a designated podium brought to him by library workers. He stand quiet at first, only looking up at the PIE emblem engraved in the tall walls of the temple complex.
He raises his voice:
"Welcome, followers of the Faith, seekers of knowledge.
I am here today to inform you all of the further access opened to the public to the Hall of Praetoria.
The golden fleet, PIE, has now officially announced the formation and existance of the the Classiarii, the PIE ground forces."
"Further information can be found in the following data, available as a holoreel in the Praetoria hall:"
The Classiarii - Public Information
"Further announcements has been made public and has been registered at the following places:"
Intergalactic Summit
Corporation Recruitment
"Together, we will stand a solid wall against the heathen, the heretic. Together, we will bathe in His light as we cleanse and reclaim the Bleak Lands from the Minmatar rebels, and followers of the dictator Maleatu Shakor..."
He pauses a bit, taking in a deep breath.
"Amarr Victor."
The librarian stands still for some moments, grasping the atmosphere in the hall, before applying his hood. Whereafter he surprisingly quietly walks away from the podium.

The librarian nods at the Nova Corps Marine that entered the complex. He then walks up to the center of the Great Hall while typing something into his datapad simultaneously.
The lighting in the Hall is dimmed down and a huge holoscreen emerges as the familiar sound of the Empress' voice echoes throughout the temple library...
"I am the Harbinger of hope, I am the Sword of the righteous. And to all who hear my voice I say this!. What you give to this Empire, I shall give back unto you."
An earlier article is displayed on the big screen, Empress Jamyl I announces Empire intent to welcome clone soldiers with open arms:
Amarr Certified News wrote:Amarr GÇô In the wake of President Jacus Roden's revelation that cloned soldiers have been developed and the Federation was beginning a purge of their ranks, Empress Jamyl I announced all those being driven out will have the opportunity to GÇ£be embraced by God, be healed by His goodness, and find a new home in the Empire.GÇ¥Speaking from the steps of the Imperial Palace in Dam-Torsad, the Empress said, GÇ£The Empire does not hate these people because they have found themselves turned from God's light. We have never hated those who have fallen. Instead, we embrace those who have tumbled to the darkest depths and lift them up. It is a long process, but one the Empire is willing to undertake to save these poor souls from those who would so callously discard them.GÇ¥The Empress went on to say, GÇ£The Empire had experimented with the technology, but early on discovered the flaws that others ignored. However, though we abandoned it, we refuse to abandon those harmed by its implementation. We instead wish to offer them hope. If they come to us, they shall be Reclaimed into God's service and find a new purpose."GÇ£So come, outcast soldiers, and we shall succor you.GÇ¥Though the Empress did not speak with the press, Court Chamberlain Pomik Haromi answered questions on her behalf. According to the Chamberlain, the Empire has GÇ£developed an alternative to the cloned soldier technology that has proven free of any taint.GÇ¥ Additionally, the soldiers will be segregated from the general population on colony worlds where they will receive treatment from the best doctors and scientists of the Empire, while being allowed to pursue worthwhile work on behalf of the Empire. He stated, GÇ£Those who are willingly Reclaimed shall not be slaves. We will allow them to live freely within their colonies, alongside their caretakers.GÇ¥
Before the recording has ended, the original article fades out and a PIE emblem beside the imperial seal, is displayed on the big screen.
The librarian waves a bit with his right hand and the temple lighting brightens up and the holoscreen fades away into empty space as things go back to normal.
With an authorative voice, he says as echoed into the complex:
"We have been blessed. By His light and Her guidance, the Amarr victory is secured."
