bulgaria is white 461 Share Posted July 22, 2015 To all those concerned in the composition of the Ultimatum of Redmark, dated 1516 - blessings upon you and your House. We, the Crown of Oren, have grown concerned over what takes the appearance of, to the realm and to Ourselves, a major dereliction of duty by a diverse assortment of Oren’s sworn nobles. Those in question hail from distinct sectors of the realm and they levy each their differing interests, but they have shown that they have in common a cunning to avert both the will and the dignity of the Crown. Such is the offense when these in question go further as to make demands of Us, to whom they owe their allegiance, to the point of threats, as if they have forgotten what it means to be noble. We, the Crown of Oren, cannot accept the situation where members of Our most esteemed Privy Councillors sow dissent and foment rebellion. These figures of Our highest level of government carry the expectation to represent the Crown and its interests, and are obligated on both a moral and legal level to oppose and strike down any words spoken against the Crown or its interests. In implicitly threatening bloody war unless the Crown acts in accordance with their wishes, in utter defiance of due process, the signatories of the Ultimatum of Redmark who hold seats on Our Privy Council have erred from their exclusive of due deference and diligent servitude to the Crown. On the account of their failure to act as representatives of Us and Our royal interests, we do hereby strip Franz Vladov of his capacity as Lord Treasurer, as well as August de Montfort of his capacity as Lord Scrivener, striking them both from Our Privy Council. We advise them duly, in the future, to not presume to command Us. We, the Crown of Oren, instate Hugues Sarkozic, Duke of Adria, as the Lord Treasurer so as to replace the erstwhile Franz Vladov, and to provide an Adrian voice on Our Privy Council, with the condition that he henceforth recant his signature and support for the document entitled the Ultimatum of Redmark. We, the Crown of Oren, say this as cordially as we may to the House of Vladov - We do feel that while the services your blood have rendered to the Kingdom of Oren over the years have been of an incalculable value, it is just as easy to apply this sentiment to the House de Sola, whose blood you now clamour for, threatening to tear the sacred tapestry of Oren apart for the sake of an ethnic conflict. Nevertheless, the House of Vladov has also proved to be a hindrance to the Crown as of late, impeding Our acts of governance and contravening Our Privy Councillors and middling and lesser nobility, laying bare their disrespect and flagrant insubordination in an effort, deliberate or incidental we know not, to threaten the stability of Our realm and plunge it into bloody turmoil. We condemn this utterly, and if there might be any truth in this final allegation, then We must so seriously question the House of Vladov’s good judgement and the self-discipline within the Adrian ranks as to raise serious doubts in the attitude of the Crown towards their future usefulness. We, the Crown of Oren, condemn without fail the actions of Titus de Sola, Baron of Dour Watch. We do not consider the disruption of a trial facilitated by Our privy councillors to be acceptable, nor do We consider the murder of noble scions to be permissible. Though the House de Sola has borne its faculties well and possesses a record of military diligence and loyalty to the Orenian cause as a whole, such a transgression cannot pass not without the mark of infidelity to the Crown or Our interests. We condemn the attempts of the House de Sola to destabilize the realm by slaying several of its nobility, and We condemn completely the attempts of the House de Sola, exercised in an official capacity by Titus, Baron of Dour Watch, to undermine and disrupt the governance exercised by Our Privy Council. For all men of Oren, obedience to the Crown is required, and this obedience is diminished and decayed when the Crown’s authority is disregarded in such a murderous fashion. We, the Crown of Oren, declare Xavier de Sola’s positions within the realm to be forfeit and suspended, on account of his failure to meet the demands of a tribunal try him for the grave allegations against his name. On account of his disruption of a trial which resulted in the Massacre at Wett, his actions being borne of the most bloody murder and treachery, We declare him to be in contempt of Us. We declare that so long as he fails to hand himself into Our royal custody, he is to be tried in absentia within one Saint’s Week, deprived of the chance to defend himself, with the penalty of his determined guilt being death by hanging. We hence declare that it is Our royal desire for Xavier de Sola to be brought into Our captivity, alive and undamaged, post-haste. We, the Crown of Oren, declare that it is Our desire that any others involved and complicit in the Massacre at Wett, including but not limited to those who assert that their actions were solely out of deference and obedience to the Bloody Baron of Dour Watch, be brought before Us, to be tried and appropriately hanged. We, the Crown of Oren, hereby declare that the matter of this feud lies beyond Our royal and temporal providence, and so We henceforth sanction an intranational war of arms, to the point of total domination of either party, between the House of Sola and the House of Vladov, as in the days of the Empire of yore, where Denurem and Blackmont feuded under the Horen yoke. We declare that the victor of this war, whoever it may be, yields the favor of God and Saint Owyn, and so is guiltless in Our royal eyes. We forbid the official ducal government of Adria, Vanaheim or Savoy from involving themselves in any capacity, official or unofficial, in this war of arms, and do hence ban them from yielding aid to either of the warring parties, under summary penalty of tax levies directed to the crown. We declare that this war of arms is to be kept from the cities of Brelus and Felsen in all circumstances, under summary penalty of death by hanging for any found to be in contravention of this. To the victor of this war shall go the spoils, and the life ((permakill)) of the defeated party’s leader, that being Franz Vladov and Titus de Sola respectively. Signed, His Majesty, King Olivier de Savoie 26 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mylimo7 409 Share Posted July 22, 2015 "Duke Hughes Sarkozic was attacked by these treacherous heathens, and you don't even give him the god damn common courtesy to return the favor? It is no right of the King to interfere in the affairs of his vassals, only to which his vassals loyalty to the crown may hinder, should he step in. Now it seems to everyone you bribe Duke Hughes Sarkozic with the position of Lord Tressurer to silence him, as if you are afraid. These marriages between noble folk should be honored by war in which you are inhibiting. You condone the actions of House Vladov for no reason besides defending their honor against de Sola. Really I don't understand this, House Vladov did nothing but be provoked. this entire decree is dishonorable to be ways of old Oren." Throdo states, being an old noble, former Duke, and friend of House Vladov, having the knowledge of the situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Octavianus Bracchus were to hear such a thing, he would let out a hearty chuckle before shaking his head! "Of course the King has the right to interfere with his vassals, you old fool. The king can do whatever he damn well pleases, because he's the ruler of the kingdom. If you are looking for such a baseless system, in which the lords are not required to adhere to the orders of their rightful monarch, then you should find yourself right at home in the lands of the dwarves, or perhaps one of the other lesser races." 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
