THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CHATTEL SLAVERY BY THE CATHOLIC POPE NICHOLAS V 6/18/1452
Papal Bull Dum Diversas 18 June, 1452
Permalink
Pope Nicholas V issued the papal bull Dum Diversas on 18 June, 1452. It authorised Alfonso V of Portugal to reduce any “Saracens (Muslims) and pagans and any other unbelievers” to perpetual slavery.
This facilitated the Portuguese slave trade from West Africa.
The same pope wrote the bull Romanus Pontifex on January 5, 1455 to the same Alfonso. As a follow-up to the Dum diversas, it extended to the Catholic nations of Europe dominion over discovered lands during the Age of Discovery. Along with sanctifying the seizure of non-Christian lands, it encouraged the enslavement of native, non-Christian peoples in Africa and the New World.
“We weighing all and singular the premises with due meditation, and noting that since we had formerly by other letters of ours granted among other things free and ample faculty to the aforesaid King Alfonso – to invade, search out, capture, vanquish, and subdue all Saracens and pagans whatsoever, and other enemies of Christ wheresoever placed, and the kingdoms, dukedoms, principalities, dominions, possessions, and all movable and immovable goods whatsoever held and possessed by them and to reduce their persons to perpetual slavery, and to apply and appropriate to himself and his successors the kingdoms, dukedoms, counties, principalities, dominions, possessions, and goods, and to convert them to his and their use and profit – by having secured the said faculty, the said King Alfonso, or, by his authority, the aforesaid infante, justly and lawfully has acquired and possessed, and doth possess, these islands, lands, harbors, and seas, and they do of right belong and pertain to the said King Alfonso and his successors”.
In 1493 Alexander VI issued the bull Inter Caetera stating one Christian nation did not have the right to establish dominion over lands previously dominated by another Christian nation, thus establishing the Law of Nations. Together, the Dum Diversas, the Romanus Pontifex and the Inter Caetera came to serve as the basis and justification for the Doctrine of Discovery, the global slave-trade of the 15th and 16th centuries, and the Age of Imperialism.

My Coronabeth Dominant Twin manifesto is simple and it's as follows: there's no way the twins could have planned for Canaan House.
John requesting new Lyctors wasn't something anyone in the Houses would've expected to happen in their lifetimes with any meaningful probability. This means that when the Tridentarii started the double necromancer ruse, they expected to carry on for life. It was an arrangement that benefited Corona vastly more than Ianthe.
What Ianthe got out of it, as far as we know: Corona would rule Ida, which she isn't keen on (as per NtN). But it also meant that Ianthe signed up for a life in her sister's shadow, with everyone regarding Corona as the perfect heir and Ianthe as the lame spare. Worse, for Ianthe, everyone believed Corona was the better flesh magician (as per As Yet Unsent). There's a lot more in for Corona in this arrangement and a lifetime of mild humiliation for Ianthe. As we see during the reveal in GtN, she was just dying to tell anyone that SHE is the necromantic genius of the pair, actually.
On their relationship with Babs: in GtN, Gideon notices that Babs obeys Ianthe's orders over Corona's. She also notices that Corona looks shocked about this — to me, this means that it's NOT something Coronabeth is used to. Pre-Canaan House, they are equals in their ruse. At Canaan House, it becomes obvious that if Ianthe ascends she'll leave Corona in the dust, and their relationship has to change. I don't think the way they act around each other from Canaan House onwards is at all representative of their relationship back on the Third, and I don't think Babs deferring to Ianthe over Corona is something that has happened often before, if at all.
There's the bit where Corona routinely threatened suicide to get her way since they were teenagers. In NtN she's doing it to save Camilla's life, but she reminisces fondly about it like it was something she did often to get her way, like it was a fun mind game they played with each other.
You've also got Ianthe calling Corona a bimbo and insulting her and whatever, and me arguing that Corona pulled the few strings doesn't make Ianthe good but as things stand I'm much more inclined to believe that, before Ianthe attained Lyctorhood, Corona was the one in charge — and I’m also firmly convinced that she’s using BoE for her own ends, and we’ll see her Fuck Shit Up in AtN.
#re: Corona threatening to kill herself#in NtN they ARE in a life-or-death situation but I simply refuse to believe that the same circumstances ever applied before#no way Ianthe aged 15 was going around murdering people and virtuous Corona tried to stop it. OCCAM'S RAZOR GIRL#I also think that she's killed many many people in between GtN and NtN to attain her BoE rank (which is positive) (I think she's hot)#but Ms. 'I am Interested In Imperial Economic Policy' isn't doing it for freedom fighting reasons <3#tlt thought#tridentarii#to be clear: I choose to believe in Worsetwin Coronabeth bc it's so much sexier. to me#ianthe#coronabeth#tlt

CAESAR AUGUSTUS AND MARCUS LICINIUS CRASSUS
this is about the spolia opima that crassus was robbed of lmao. like, yeah okay octavian could've asked him not to claim it, but nevertheless. a kind of theft happened there.
Fact and Fiction: Crassus, Augustus, and the Spolia Opima, Catherine McPherson
#this is one from the vaults I started a few months ago and finally finished. it’s always the furniture details that put things on hold lmao#the former co consuls are fightinggggg (?)#rome is built on top of other people. this is about both the imperialism-slavery machine and the way that all these guys would#politically devour their own generation to sit on a throne. etc. anyway. octavian specifically sits on a throne of other people’s#accomplishments. that’s a specific kind of debt to carry around your neck. or theft depending on who is doing what#this was theft. anything involving Agrippa was a gift so there’s an obligation to succeed which is it’s own kind of currency so to speak#sugghrhfh. every crassus always has to be like this. in my heart i always root for whoever decides to go up against rome#and then i'm stuck with the guy who should've got a spolia opima like. congrats on your win. i guess. i think. RIP.#ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT. while im talking about this crassus. domina fucking sucks. what an absolute clusterfuck of a show#anyway. if anyone ever does augustan age politics again. octavia would be a great character if you want to invent shit#but also more importantly octavian should seduce crassus for this. thank you.#octavian#marcus licinius crassus.....christ how do i write down that he's the grandson of my crassus. i'll figure it out later#roman empire tag#drawing tag

Item Lore from Warrior Gameplay Trailer
Images below the cut, they are images of item/weapon/armor stats with their lore blurbs. I am only transcribing the name, item type, and relevant lore. I'm not including the stats or damage as those aren't the focus of this.
Golden Casque (Rare Heavy Helm) Tall and plumed, this fine helmet is the color of gold -- but much harder to dent. This equipment has the Lord of Fortune symbol at the top
The Iron Caste Rare Heavy Armor This armor's vividly sculpted musculature is a testament to Nevarra's unrivaled knowledge of anatomy. This equipment has the Mourn Watch symbol at the top.
Necropolis Defender Rare Targe The elite guards who stand watch at the gates of the Grand Necropolis use these shields to guard against both the living and the dead. This equipment has the Mourn Watch symbol at the top.
Spellbound Longsword Rare Longsword This enhanced longsword is bound with burning magic. This equipment has the Shadow Dragons symbol at the top.
Andraste's Will Unique Ring Andraste was tied to a stake and burned while her earthly husband turned his armies aside and did nothing, for his heart had been devoured. This equipment has the Shadow Dragons symbol at the top.
Amaranthine Loop Uncommon Ring Favored by Crows, the uniform rows of stones add balance and precision to every blow. Also some elegance. This weapon has the Antivan Crow symbol at the top.
Heart of Andraste Uncommon Amulet A charm given to newly anointed Fathers of the Imperial Chantry, the cracked stone serves as a reminder of Andraste's mortal heart.
Blight Killer +1 Rare Longsword (Davrin) An intimidating, one-of-a-kind sword cut from solid obsidian. It is perfectly balanced. This weapon has the Grey Warden symbol at the top.
Reforged Bulwark Uncommon Heater (Davrin) Reclaimed from the ruins of an old Warden stronghold, this shield honors the sacrifices of Wardens past while defending their future. This weapon has the Grey Warden symbol at the top.

my favourite part about inquisition is when you go around claiming land and then everyone makes a surprised pikachu face when the locals don't greet you with open arms. inquisitor obviously they've got the wrong idea, we got to show them that they should be grateful for our presence here!!
#inquisition your Imperialism is showing#laya plays dragon age#dragon age critical#<- since this isnt just a 'wasted character potential' type post but full on just 'i hate this about the game' x'd#this would not bother me if this was actually like. addressed like a Proper Theme/ An Issue#instead of it just casually not only being there but being encouraged/ treated like a good and normal thing??#and everyone going yeah you gotta claim territory! you gotta gain more influence!! this is a Good Thing because we are Helping!!!#(and i mean. people do object! it gets really clear in trespasser! but everyone around you still acts like they are in the wrong#for having objections to the inquisitions existence)
