“If this was about protecting his children, why did his children not receive his titles? Blatant grab for family titles. Either that, or these southerners have gone soft.” Grumbled Ser Rickard Tosali Ruthern.

The fat priest is preparing a speech for the upcoming wedding.

Alicia Alstion smiles at the missive, "Surely I could meet some new friends." She nodded firmly with determination.

Dated the 17th of Joma and Umund, 532 E.S. To the Crown of Hanseti-Ruska & the Aulic Council, It has been six years since our house lost it's patriarch, Duke Viktor var Ruthern, to the cataclysmic Comet Lesanov that struck the old city of Valdev and reduced it to smoldering ruin. With his death, the seat of Lord Emissar has remained vacant and without any clear candidate for suitable replacement. Though I wish to think it is out of tribute to the memory of my departed grandsire, I would be remiss not to understand that it is equally as likely that options for a successor are simply few and lacking. I have now spent seven years as the King's own cupbearer and ward, learning at his side whilst pouring drink for various foreign dignitaries and heads of state. I am afforded a firsthand experience, learning the day-to-day business of leadership and governance. So too have I learned the way of conversation, to make deals and agreements that will be to the benefit of both parties, or how to quell the frustration of those who might not agree with what it is we offer. And, if that education is not enough, I played a part in penning the recent treaty with the Principality of Reinmar, whilst His and Her Majesty were away on pilgrimage and at the request of Lord Palatine Radovanic. Such is an example of how, already, I have experienced up close our nation's foreign diplomacy and policy. Thus I put myself, Lady Milena vas Ruthern, forth as a candidate for Lady Emissar of Hanseti-Ruska. I feel strongly that my time as a student has passed, that I might now finally put my mind and skill to better use in service to our kingdom. It is my sincere wish that you will strongly consider me, and my merits. SINCERELY, HER LADYSHIP, Milena Anastasya vas Ruthern

Maybe he'll topple an Empire or two.

The Infernal Ape of Hexicanum tended to his wound, watching as the fiends of the Cursed Forest savaged the fallen adventurers. The Old Man had not the strength of the recent Haensetti Knight, nor the renowned Adrian General, but he fought nonetheless. That was more than could be said for many mortals that he encountered. The Rakaal, when his wound had been tended to, would stand in order to prepare for the battle that was to transpire at The Bloodmon Tower.

The Procurator, Niklaous Ashford de Savoie looked over this missive before throwing a pouch filled with coins at the wall of his office. "So they all vote me in as the Procurator showing they trust me to manage the Kingdom's funds, then they vote this bill in? This Senate must have a lot of trust issues." He said shaking his head in disappointment. "I'll be waiting from my direct summons from Her Majesty and the Courts before going to any of these 'Audits'." He said in spite of this horrid legislation.

Daal licked his dry lips as he bit into another shoe he took. The imp not having known or recalled much if anything of the prince was living his best life but thought of him anyways, for better or for worse only he knew

Renilde of the Petra made a note to reach out to this guild which she could not pronounce, so as to expose the children of the Paradisian Courts who were warded to her and her fellow courtesans to the rich culture that filled in the rest of the continent that was Aevos. "Most interesting," she began, in an opening statement to the Lady Chamberlain on 'Commonwealth of the Petra' stationary. How vintage! @ibiou

Esfir weeps as her sister is stolen away by the EVIL ERIK KORTREVICH!!!! She shakes her fists angrily at the sky..... ....Before running off to make only the best and most perfect gift for her beloved sister.

Spuds sat back with the missive on his mountainous horde that would make dragons and giants envious. The musin ticked with a pen a little piece of paper as he then glued the missive to his wall to join his collection of familiar faces “Maybe. Just maybe, this could be it.”

The old Oyashiman remained largely unaware of Basha's passing, and yet, the days grew longer, and the Adunian did not return to her room. Hesperia pursed her lips tightly and muttered a prayer for her safety, wherever she may be.

THE LEGION As a disciplined and experienced military force, the Legion represents the might of the Dwarves. Members of the Legion are utterly committed to the service of their nation, prepared to defend their people from any internal and external threats that may aggress on their mountain home. WHY ENLIST? Enlistment in the Legion is a great honour, offering the opportunity to serve with comrades in arms and advancing your status in Dwarven society through genuine meritocratic progression in a system that recognises talent and dedication above all. Additionally, you serve Dungrimm in combat through the honour and glory inherent in your valorous deeds. Once you reach the required rank, there are also several financial incentives, such as pay, tax benefits, etc. Your Kingdom calls you - Join the Legion today. HIERARCHY COMMAND GRAND MARSHAL (II) As the commander of the Legion, the Grand Marshal is specially appointed by the Grand King and directly manages his subordinates' duties, promotions and rewards. The Iron Legate leads the Legion into combat and is the finest soldier it has produced. TRIBUNE (I) Executive officer of the Legion, the Tribune is given delegated duties from the Grand Marshal to manage all administrative aspects of the Legion. He is also responsible for the issuance of rations, standard-issue weaponry and uniforms. In the Iron Legate’s absence, the Tribune takes command of the Legion. RANK AND FILE PRIDEBEARER (III) Pridebearers are the elite rank attained upon exemplary service; they receive the highest pay in the rank and file and financial exemptions. However, they are expected to take the lead in combat situations and have authority over inferior ranks. IRONGUARD (II) Ironguards are the Legion's regulars; this rank is attained once the oath of loyalty to the Legion is taken. These soldiers are expected to perform most of the day-to-day duties and attend Legion training and combat missions. GRUNT (I) Grunts are the raw recruits in the Legion; once a dwarf completes their enlistment papers, they are immediately granted the rank of Grunt. These soldiers are not accorded the privileges granted to superior ranks (i.e. payment) and have yet to take the oath of loyalty, guaranteeing their place within the Legion. REQUIREMENTS A dwarf must: Be a beardling of age, i.e. eighteen years. Be of sound body and mind. And possess a good grasp of Urguanic law. Not be an Ironborn. All Yrromar must seek a special exemption to enlist, though admittance is generally limited. HOW TO ENLIST To enlist in the Legion, one must fill out the following form and seek out a Legionary officer. [Enlistment Form] THE OATH The oath is the bond that ties a dwarf to the Legion and his comrades in arms. It is sworn in part to the Gods and the realm, so breaking it is considered sacrilege. The contents of the oath are not public knowledge. The oath is binding until death or once released from it by a Legion officer. “I swear to Yemekar and the Brathmordakin the following unbreakable oath, That I shall promise to be faithful to the Grand King “Name Here” and shall be so long as he reigns, I pledge my loyalty to Urguan and the Legion. I swear to act without treachery or evil intentions that would dishonour my kin, to uphold the realm's laws and protect the Khazadmar to the death. May Dungrimm hold me to my word.” NARVOK OZ URGUAN

Renata Alba prepares a fitting gift for her aunts coronation. It needed to be something grand, of that she was sure.

Renata Alba smirked, having had the gift prepared the very day the duos set-up took place. She'd look to her calendar, outlined with a series of weddings and baptisms alike.

His service to his family and to Crown both have been duly noted, as has that of the promising heirs and household. By these virtues, the Crown does elevate and enfeoff the Viscounty of Krusev to the House of Kortrevich, and do elevate their Patriarch, Baron Erik Kortrevich, to be Viscount of Krusev.

The news landed in the hands of the sweet tooth scourge, the Elden beast enraged by the news.

"I love weddings." John of Aaun said. Happy to hear his former ward Catherine had found a match. Then thereafter turning to a courtier with a raised brow. "Who is Colonel Jaramy?"

"And what mention would you make of us? I already see the title! Three Aaunite Lords have recently caught a magnificent salmon by Ves." Jan Jazlowiecki responded with a light chuckle to the Alstion.
