The Crown Of Crows

[Basil of Sabris 112]

The dawn was young when Paul Carrion take a seat at his table, unfolding a scroll. The scroll read of the illness of our beloved Emperor and the passing of the Cap. The Prince was puzzled, what had the passing of the cap meant? He scoured old Raevir textbooks for days, weeks even before discovering two articles. Upon completion of these articles, he summons two of his trusted scribes. "Eja, the Crows fly again young ones. Majov, write a letter to my kin. Lokov blow the ivory horn."

 

 

Thus, the first scribe did his tasks and upon the next mourn all of Oren would hear the trumpeting bellow of the Ivory Horn. The second scribe finished his at the same moment, sending out scrolls of the following:

 

Aleksander Carrion

Viktor Ostrovic Carrion

Daniel I

Boris Carrion

Godfriek Ostrovic Carrion

Ostromir II Ostrovic Carrion

Roy Carrion

 

The letters would read:

 

"Eja, and good day.

 

My master, Imperial Prince Paul Ostrovic Carrion has henseforth called a crowsmoot to declare the next Carrion Patriarch. Although my master, Paul Ostrovic Carrion is the rightful heir- he declares that he wishes to follow Carrion tradition and have the Crows elect the new Boyar.

 

We as Carrion's shall vote, however only some of us may be elected. This excludes one Godfriek Carrion for his disinheritance in the lands of Anthos and one Roy Carrion for his current tenure as Regent of Oren.

 

Godspeed,

Paul Ostrovic Carrion"

 

(You would only recieve this letter if you are listed above)

[3andD 1722]

Paul Carrion is in attendance, preparing a small bundle of papers. "We shall begin once everyone arrives."

(This will be a FRP don't respond to this thread unless your part of the crowsmoot)

[Zezimus 1523]

The Imperial Prince Viktor Carrion, the youngest brother of Paul, proceeds to make his way into the meeting room, before lowering himself into one of the many seats. Lightly tapping his fingers against the woodwork of the table, he awaits patiently for the meeting to commence.

[Cracker 4570]

The third Ostrovic slides into the room out of papal garb but rather in blanche smallclothes. He takes to his seat, before remarking;

 

"Given the stain of bastardy which I am subject to, I also should have no vote in this affair."

[Ark 2835]

Aleksandr walking in, he nods to everyone. He lets out a long drawn out yawn as he slips into his seat. "I intend to run."

[3andD 1722]

Paul nods to Aleksandr, "Very good." He says, clearing his throat. " Than allow me to announce my intentions as well." He says, quickly shuffling his notes. Paul pauses, looking between his two brothers... "Uncle Tuvya is gone, a trajety but we mustn't stop and grief, as his passing has left us many pieces left in the puzzle.

In this time of chaos we need a crow who can bare the cap with claim and purpose. Firstly, the cap is rightfully mine by claim though not by right. Disregarding my brother Godfriek, I am the eldest Crow and closest in relation to Ex. Siegmund. Although my skills and wit are yet tested, I believe that under my leadership we can foster the crowsnest and stand together against those who seek to flay the Crow. With my brothers at my side, I will have a full arsenal of guile and genius to lead us.

This is why I ask you, my kin, to elect myself as Elder amongst us."

[Basil of Sabris 112]

Roy Carrion has shared his ill-intentions to abandon his family and not share in this crowsmoot. His vote shall not be cast, nor will it be accounted for.

 

Therefor, the running is between the two Crows: 

 

Paul Ostrovic Carrion

 

and

 

Aleksandr Carrion

[Zezimus 1523]

Viktor leans forward in his seat, clasping his hands in his lap as he glances between the faces of his kin.

 

"As unfortunate as is to say, must accept that it is with Tuvya's death, that Oren has faltered in face of our foe. We cannot go on any longer with simple desire to preserve Empire everlasting. Da, our cause was just but now we crows are viewed by many with contempt. Is unfortunate and yet true that our good intentions have been mistaken for lust of power. If am to prove they wrong, is perhaps wise in eyes of mine to end notion that we remain Empire, and reassume title of Kingdom.

 

Is after all on day of today, that orcs and dwarves take advantage of imbalance of power, striking at human territories. If can preserve sovereignty of human controlled borders, must make peace with these rebels and end this godforsaken war with they. Will place vote of mine once each of those running has described how they intend to act upon matters of such."

[Cracker 4570]

Daniel taps the scruff upon his chin in thought as he listens to Paul's speech.

 

"I hold no vote, and I wish none, the affairs of my household a worldly one not befit a priest of my standing. Yet I may advise and say that brother Paul presents a strong argument. If good Uncle Tuv does pass, God help us all, I believe that my brother Paul could be a wise patriarch, one well-versed in the culture of Karovic and his ways and can insure our kindred do not stray from their path.

 

Coz Aleks, you are righteous, but you are already burdened with a grand estate, and if your father passes, a vestigial Empire to maintain. Leave this title of heir to the patriarchy for your cousin, your senior by a full score."

[Ark 2835]

Aleksandr nods his head after Daniel speaks. "You prove a good point, I believe Paul could do a better job. I resign."

[3andD 1722]

Paul nods, "Then it is declared, I am patriarch of the house. Godenisfan bless our family."
