The Nation of Gnosticism
Gnosticania

Gnosticania was a nation that held Gnosticism as the state faith. Gnosticism and Gnostic Christianity were the state faiths. The Gnostic Mass, known as Liber XV was practiced, other Gnostic Masses were practiced as well.

I guess this would count as a Gnostic Mass

Info on the Gnostic Mass
The Gnostics were led by an Emperor of Gnosticania, the current one was Emperor Therion XVI.
Intresting, and welcome to the world

Lady Valerya noted with a mix of joy and apprehension the new nation of Gnosticania. They claimed to be Gnostics, but celebrated a Mass. She decided to contact them.

We welcome you to the world. We were wondering if we could meet and discuss our mutual views of spirituality. We are looking to hear from you.

OOC-Not all Gnostics in our nation celebrate a Mass, I guess and yes, we are Gnostic, etc.

Greeting from the Gnosticanian Nation,
We thank you for your welcome and a discussion and meeting over our mutual views of spirituality would be acceptable and appreciated. Please come when you can.

Laurai read Emperor Therion's response. " Well, ladies, it seems we have a sort of an invitation to visit this new Gnostic nation. What do you think?"
To think was to act. They were on their way.

To think was to act. They were on their way.
Emperor Therion waited to meet Laurai or Valerya of Wiccan Shadows, along with her party. Therion's ministers waited with him, ready to meet with the Wiccan Shadows party.
Gnosticania was a Gnostic nation, to meet with Wiccans would be perhaps interesting.
A tall ship at sea called the Raven saild through the choppy waters. Inside Princess Tomoyo was handed a letter, telling of a new nation.
"You sure you want to go to this country? We don't know much about them."
"I think we should your Highness, after all we are very close in proximity, and we could use a break from the sea."
"All right. We do need more freinds in the world."

OOC-I read the ball hosted by Veragonia. Tomoyo is there, how can she be at two places at once?
Emperor Therion would enjoy meeting Princess Tomoyo, including one of his sons, Prince Valentinus (may change) who was considering the married life. And they still waited for the Wiccans to come.

I see. Then Tomoyo can come along. Also, I was thinking on it but if you are interested, do you think Tomoyo and Valentinus could marry? A relationship would be built up first though.
Gnosticania

Sure.
Great. Send Tomoyo over and either she can fall in love with the Prince or vice versa during her meeting with Emperor Therion.
The ship reached the dock of the country. It was very strange to her.
"I'll see if I can find anyone your majesty."

An offical came up to her and bowed respectfully ''Greetings. Are you the party from Wiccan Shadows? We are expecting them to come.''
She bowed her self. "Actually we we're in the area, and we decided to seek relations. I'm Princess Tomoyo Mikanu."

Valerya, Laurai, and Christaia strode out of a small stand of oak, just outside of the palace of Therion. They crossed the well-manicured lawn to the steps of the palace and waited for the guards who were hurrying down to see who it was that had so boldly approached the Emperor's domain.

The offical nodded and said ''Welcome to Gnosticania. I will take you to our Emperor.'' He escorted Tomoyo and her party to the Palace and to the Emperor. Emperor Therion looked at Tomoyo as she came in. With him was Prince Valentinus who eyed Tomoyo as she came in.

Guards led by Minister Basilides greeted the three women. ''Welcome, I trust you are the Wiccans. Come and follow me.'' He led them to the Emperor who was with Tomoyo of Kurona. The Wiccans were looked at by the Emperor who would try to get a way to meet with both of them.
OOC-Kurona, Wiccan Shadows, you two are both in the Throne Room at the same time, I guess.

OOC-Kurona, you can reply to this post.

As Basilides and the guards left them in the Emperor's throneroom, the ladies turned and bowed to him, then to the people of Kurona. " We are pleased to be here, your Majesty, and we look forward to talking with you and your advisors", said Chrystaia. " Lady Tomoyo, we are as well pleased to meet you."
ooc: GTG to work...will pick this up tomorrow evening.

OOC-That is ok with me. See you soon. Also, how did they know Tomoyo's name, just curious.
The Emperor looked at them and said ''The talks will be good. They are about spirituality and relations, I assume right?'' Basilides stood and watched, along with Prince Valentinus. The Emperor then said ''We can have the talks when you are ready.'' Looking to Tomoyo, he said ''You are Lady Tomoyo as these women have addressed you? Welcome. Are you here for talks as well, Lady Tomoyo?''
OOC-Wiccan Shadows, I was discussing a marriage idea with Kurona. I have an idea. Would you like to marry one of the women you have meeting the Emperor to some one in my nation? You don't have to if you don't want to, it is just an idea.
"Yes I am. I'm very pleased to meet you."

"Yes I am. I'm very pleased to meet you."
Prince Valentinus smiled at Tomoyo. ''Lady Tomoyo, I don't mean any disrespect but may we have our talks after my talks with these three women? We had discussed our talks and planned them and so on.'' Therion said. ''Prince Valentinus can show you around and that till we have our talks.''
Valentinus stepped forward and bowed. He was young and handsome, Tomoyo liked him (OOC-We can have Tomoyo fall in love with him or something, we can discuss it). Valentinus said ''I am Prince Valentinus. May I show you around?''
Valentinus held his hand out, to escort Tomoyo as he showed them around.
"Please do. Show me around. And of course, seeing I showed up unnanounced, you should talk to your guests who came with notice, before a crasher such as my self."

"Please do. Show me around. And of course, seeing I showed up unnanounced, you should talk to your guests who came with notice, before a crasher such as my self."
The Emperor looked at her and said ''Thank you for understanding. I hope we will have good talks.''
Valentinus took her hand and showed her around the Palace. As they walked, Valentinus said ''Not to make you uncomfortable or what not but you are a beautiful girl. You are very good-looking.'' Valentinus continued to show her around, admiring Tomoyo.
She blushed "Thank you. Thank you very much."

She blushed "Thank you. Thank you very much."
''Anytime, Lady Tomoyo. It is true, you are beautiful.'' Valentinus said. After showing her around all possible places, they went for a walk in the gardens.
''Tell me about yourself, Lady Tomoyo. Where do you come from for example?'' Valentinus said.
OOC-Tell me if I have to change this or anything or if I am going too fast or what not.
(OOC: it's okay, I'm doing another companion thread and I've moved pretty fast)
"I'm from Kurona. I've been ruling Princess since I was 13, when my parents died. My religion is Shinto, favorite colors are pink beige and white."

ooc: the short explanation is that most Wiccans are Intuitive Empaths. Not telepaths.
