The Arch Patriarch of Aikums of the Augustan Church Petras Kuseliauskas visted the Dolgavan Queen and the royal family at Pelēkā Pils today, where the Dolgavan Royal Family fostered goodwill between the Augustan Church in Dolgava and the Dolgavan Royal Family.

Looking at history, the Augustan Church (formerly known as the Terran Patriarchal Church) was spread to Dolgava and Keris from Trigunia and it has been one of the two largest churches in Dolgava. It is not the official church of the state, as the Luthorian Church of Dolgava happens to be the state's official church, but the Augustan Church has been a pillar of Dolgavan society for many thousands of years.

The Dolgavan Royal Family are practicing Luthorian church members, with the last member of the family following Augustan beliefs, centuries ago. However they know the importance of the church to Dolgavans, and they strive to maintain a close connection to the church and its leaders. The Arch Patriarch of Dolgava is the highest office of the church in Dolgava, and advises the monarch and the Dolgavan cabinet when he is called in to do so. As the highest official in Dolgava for the church, he also has a God given right to establish titles, conduct coronations and other such tasks, (however this is done in the Luthorian Church).

In a meeting at the palace, he spoke with Queen Jaanika, who chatted with him for over an hour. The two read the bible, and prayed, before the Arch Patriach officially gave Queen Jaanika, and by proxy the continued line of Dolgavan Queens and Kings, a new title.

The title in question stems from their previous title as Prince/Princess of Trigunia. With the recent abolishment of Trigunia, and it's successor state not only getting rid of the monarchy of Trigunia, but no acknowledging Trigunia's existence, the Arch Patriarch, gave Queen Jaanika the title as the Queen of Trigunia, and the rightful ruler of Trigunia, updating her title, from Princess to Queen. This took place, because it is well known that the Augustan Church was previously the largest church in Trigunia, and was a long established and cemented part of Trigunian identity and culture.

The title for now is merely symbolic, but it gives the Dolgavan monarchs, a claim on Trigunia, and grants the Dolgavan monarchy more prestige. Many will see this move as phony, or not take it seriously, but with most of the world still recognizing Trigunia as the rightful state for the Trigunian people. This also shows a backlash against the current state of affairs, be members of the Augustan Church throughout Terra.
