"Works of Change" by Atanazy Nikitin.
"Years continued calmly. As always after the war, people started to get back into their own works. Cities strated to grow as a land spread and wealth was send throu provinces. Our Republic is wide and powerfull. Well, mayby not as much as
for example those western empires like France or Austria, but we are one of the biggest countries. And our influence is not forein. We trade in many cultures and lands. We travel the seas. We want to explore the unknow. This is a reason,
that will never stop us. Until we will find secrets of this world, and gladly, take them for ourselfs." - Writings of Office Scrybe for Knyaz Aleksander II Polan, Atanazy Nikitin
"For example, our great influences started to pay of, as minor nations, like our friend Pskov and good ally Murom became our loyal vassals, by our diplomatic and peacefull way. Do you need military to enforce their will? Of course not!
Our ways of speaking with high culture allowed us to win hearts of their people. And that's all it took. Even Tarussa, our little friend decided to open their eyes and join our rightfull patch." - Atanazy Nikitin
"As Knyaz moved country foward, ways have changed a little. For example, we introduced the law, that started creations of so called Police Brotherhoods. It's the new way, but it's quite simple. There is a group of people, that follow's
a principle of justice and law. By this, they decided to start working as a force, that will keep the local crime low and will lower the unrest that might come with unexpected."- Atanazy Nikitin
"I still don't know why, but i think that there is something. Think of is as an conflict, but you fight not with the enemy, but with yourself. Then, as you claim yourself, you understand the idea. So, what do you gonna do with it?
Of course, spread it claiming it is a best there can be. And this is universal for human beings. We are created by God and given free will, to spread his word, but also to argue about it what is human. And this is why nobleman,
bureaucrat and merchant will never come to agremment together, that will benefit all of them." - Atanazy Nikitin
"Jewel of the North, we are. Our city, as i might call my home and a center of the Republic life, is, without a doubt, a great center of life. I might even agree, that's the reason our army marches again into a lands of the horde, is
only to show them, that there is a new chance in life. For that, we will teach them a lesson." - Atanazy Nikitin
"But, for my all life, i have to ask. What was a creture i have seen in the sky? The beasts of hell? A visitor from a unheard land? Or mayby, just my imagination. Either way, i can rest save" - Atanazy Nikitin.
