The Baierz Declaration

The Baierz Declaration was a sermon made by Emmerich the Accursed at Baierz square, in Arnbruck, 582. It was made just as the Emmerichite Pogroms began, after the Emmerichites were excommunicated and condemned to death by Exarch Klopfer the Silent. The speech inspired much of the constitution written by the Triumvirate Concordat, and mobilized thousands of supporters, from serf to aristocrat, in defense of their newfound faith, against King Guillaume I in the Grau-Almeras Civil War. The fact that Emmerich was assassinated soon after the speech was made merely increases its historical potency.
