Ooc- Obviously this is between Kahta and the MS Federation. But if you own a piece of land he's going through, you might very well want to get in on this. If you don't choose to get in on it, then don't complain when he just ducks quietly through your land, possibly converting a few folks on the way, who knows. Anyway, this is basically open to anybody who owns a piece of land he is going through.

Jeremiah Cartwright of the Mississippian Reformed Church knew that he ought to carry the Five Points of Calvinism to Kahta, they had to be woken up as to their status as Elect. He was certain they were like most Mississippians, Elected by God to be justified through the gift of faith in Christ, the gift given to all Elected.

He set out from Biloxi in Mississippi, deciding to ride on a horse so he could shout sections of the gospel to people as he rode through the countryside until he got to New York, his first target for starting the preaching to the intended audiences.

He would ride east into Alabama, and then cross into Mississippian controlled Georgia, South Carolina, quietly duck through North Carolina and Virginia, and then go through Sevaris occupied Maryland without even worrying, after all, what would they do to him, Roger's favorite preacher. He was safe and he knew it, besides, he was Elect, he feared nothing. He would be in New York in a few weeks time.


Setting out with his Geneva Bible and a day's supply of food that his sister packed for him, he mounted up on his horse and lightly tapped it on the side with his foot until it started to trot off down the dirt road leading away from his comfortable, yet not by any standard decadent, country cabin.

ooc: alright, he's not going through any of my lands. However, my nation is 45% catholic 20% orthodox (I believe) and the rest a mix of liberal protestant groups with a few buddhists and muslims. I would love for a conservative protestant group to make headway in my nation. Perhaps we could get together and do an RP where you send some missionaries to my nation for conversion purposes. TG me if you're interested. Thanks

TAG: Your priest is going through Virginia, and I must warn you in advance, the Virginian Enlightened Combine banned Calvinism.......

Smuggle him through carefully, be aware we do have extensive secret police and angry paramilitaries (the "Federal Police" and "Enlightened Guardians"), he may or may not be discovered.

Yes, you are welcome to come to Kahta for as long as you want. If you get any death threats from anarchist atheists, please tell me, and I will make sure they are killed.

The first large city outside of Mississippi that Jeremiah Cartwright rode into was Mobile, Alabama. He was fairly optimistic that they would receive him warmly and extend hospitality to an ole southern preacher such as himself.

He tied his horse to a post and then slowly made his way to the city hall, determined to speak with the mayor about calling a city meeting so as he could preach the word to those who would listen.

"You are truly one of God's Elect. I look forward to meeting you when I arrive in your glorious land. Might I suggest you arrest all Catholic bishops and priests in the cities I'll be in, at least while I'm there, so they can't spread their lies against the doctrine of Grace, at least not while I'm there."

The Sevarisian Government will permit Mr. Cartwright to pass through Maryland. We have no problem with Calvinism, as we are a state that believes in religious tolerance.

I am not sure that I can do that. Well, I guess I can. Catholics are <1% of the population here.

After winning over several hundred thousand converts in Georgia and South Carolina, and then quickly passing through North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and then finally after passing through Pennsylvania, and arriving in New York, Jeremiah Cartwright immediately proceeded to go meet with Czar Sam Fabus of the Kahtan Empire.

Waiting shortly past the Sir Fabus Line, a line of fortifications nearly 20 miles deep, was the Czar of Kahta, surrounding him were guards, and a crowd of Calvinists.

"Welcome to Kahta, Mr. Cartwright."

Jeremiah jumped down gracefully off of his horse and then bowed before Sam as he removed his hat and swept it out in a gesture with his hand that was in conjunction with the bow.

"Thank you for allowing me here, excellency." He said.
