More Patron Saints in the Far Future

It is the season of Advent once again, and I have a new group of stories to share about Saints of Holtzmann's Corridor. 

  • for Diplomats: St. Arthur the Peacemaker
  • for Colonists: St. Titus of Icemont
  • for (Reformed) Pirates: St. Felix the Tabrazian
  • for Belters: St. Cassian of Ferrocore

This has nothing to do with the content of this post, but it's still a cool pic.

Saint Arthur the Peacemaker

Arthur (of Mavramorn) was part of the negotiation team sent to Stavanger to bring an end to the Stavanger-Mavramorn war that had raged for several years. During the many heated meetings, he was always the voice persuading for forgiveness and contrition. “Mutual repentance” was his constant refrain. A radical faction of the Stavangerian military attempted to disrupt the negotiations and kill a Stavanger diplomat whom they felt was betraying their cause. St. Arthur sacrificed himself to protect this man from a shooting attack. He died to save an enemy from that enemies' own allies. Shocked both by the betrayal and the sacrifice, the two sides confirmed the treaty and honored Arthur's sacrifice by signing the peace treaty in Arthur's name.
