This is William Pierce for White World Radio. Early today, Dr. Hans Schrader, the leading researcher in Christian relics and governmental work, after many years of searching through the many rubble obtained after The Power Shift (OOC: Refers to the time when USA fell from being a super-power along with several other nations going completely bankrupt and the like) found the legendayr Spear of Destiny. The Lance of Longinus is said to have pierced the side of Christ while Our Lord and Savior was being crucified in order to destroy and cleanse us from our sins.

The Lance is stated to be held in an undiscolsed location until the Zitadelle decides exactly what to do with the mythic weapon. Rumors have come about that it will be able to viewed in the National Museum of History in the capitol or that it may be held in an undisclosed location never to see the light of day again. Neither have been confirmed.

The earliest reports of the Spear were circa A.D. 570, described as having been on display in the basilica of Mount Zion in Jerusalem adjacent to the Crown of Thorns. The point of the spearhead was alleged to have been snapped following the Persian conquest of Jerusalem in A.D. 615. The point was set into an icon, and found its way to the church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. It was later transported to France, where it remained in the Sainte Chapelle until the 18th century. The icon was briefly moved to the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris during the French Revolution, but it subsequently disappeared. The lower section of the spearhead was allegedly conveyed from Jerusalem to Constantinople sometime in the 8th century. It was sent by Sultan Beyazid II as a gift to Pope Innocent VIII in 1492; Innocent had the relic placed in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. It still resides there.

The holy spear that was used by the Holy Roman Emperors (cited from Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor on, the spear described above) as a part of their imperial insignia found its way to Vienna, Austria, where it resided until The Power Shift where The Confederacy obtained it.

It was also held under National Socialist rule in The Third Reich for a small amount of time.

Legend has it, that any country with the Lance of Longinus will be prosperous and protected by The Hand of God. We can only pray that God's blessings will continue to rain down upon us.

Official Statement from The Oceanic Commonwealth of The Island of Rose:

So the Fascians have the Lance of Longinus. Congratulations. I hope that the Fascian Confederacy will allow other nations to show the sacred lance in their museums. This is truly a work of art. Plus, everybody likes Jesus. On a more serious note, the Commonwealth congratulates the Confederacy and hopes the God truly blesses them.

According to my sources, it either won't be shown at all, or it will tour The Confederacy for up to two years before it is viewed internationally. I have even heard that it will be housed in the Zitadelle Chapel and be much like a pilgrimage site for Christians abroad. But of course, as of now, this is all just speculation and rumors. -- William Pierce, Frontman And Head Journalist For White World Media

Come here, laddie, and no god on the face of the earth can protect you. Not all the fictional entities on earth can save you from death if you decide to use this little shiny bauble as "divine armour" in an attack. Just remember that.

As stated before, no nation, as a matter of fact, no one outside of the Zitadelle will see The Lance of Longinus for the time being. We must all be patient. -- William Pierce, Frontman And Head Journalist For White World Media

It must be shown to the world. The Lance must be shown. It is the most important artifact in our religious cannon (you know what it means). Very well would you pleases allow me to come and witness this miracle. I pray for such an honor.

OOC: No. :) Not to mention.. Most Catholic churches don't believe in RL that the Lance of Longinus exists in anyone's posessions.

OOC: They're a heretic church that split from every main relgion.

IC: I know. It was too much to ask to see The Lancea Sanctum. It would have been nice to see. We're close to finding The Crown of Thorns though.

OOC: Yeah my Heretic Church would probably go to war to try and get ahold of The Lancea Sanctum. My Catholics are crazy. Go ahead say you have it just to screw with them. It'd be awesome to see their reactions.

If we are correct, the Christian Bible has various verses referring to Jesus reaching out to members of different races and social outcasts.

How is it, then, that you will be protected if you go against these teachings?

Alternately, Neo-Mekanta's modern tech asset of Earthfall Island may begin instituting Operation Arael. (Very obscure, and I'll BS an IC reward to anyone who gets it. Here's a hint: You'll have trouble getting AT it...)
