"It is a matter of truth and faith that we must do this!" Said the Archbishop in his speech. "Why, it's a matter of principle! That government is horrible, and all around evil! That is why someone must take up arms against them in a crusade to defeat them! We must, we have to! And that is why our nation is taking up arms and will defeat the evils of... of..." The Archbishop collapsed... A doctor pronounced him dead a few minutes later... All paperwork on whom he was going to take up arms in a crusade against was burned and his office ran sacked.

The nation sat glued to their Televisions with a look of "Wha...?" on their faces. Everyone in the Government swore they didn't know who or what the Archbishop was going to declare war on. An investigation was launched into possible conspiracies including spies, a government coup, or perhaps heavenly intervention.

Rumor has is the Archbishop had traces of a fast acting poison in his system. To die from it it would have had to be administrated 10 minutes before his death. Records show the Archbishop was with the Foreign Minister just minutes before his death consulting something about Roania.
