TO OUR BELOVED SUBJECTS,

 

It has pleased the Apostolic Throne to raise Our leal vassal, Nikola Karlowicz, to distinguished rank among Our subjects. Accordingly, and with the grace of God and the attentions of Our realm, We do confer the status of nobility upon the House Karlowicz, in trust to Our throne for the duration of their loyal service.

In return, and as a sign of Our graciousness, We do privilege their head to petition Our court, and to hold land in homage to the Apostolic Kingdom of Vandoria

Jory gazes idly over the edict, his hands folded neatly within the many folds of his lap. With pursed lips, he would turn to his kharajyr squire as well as those assembled within his halls. The red and grey halls are dimly lit as dusk settles over the lordship of Marbrand.

"Many new lords arise within our realm, good men. We must assist them within their infancy, to ensure this kingdom prospers and flourishes. May GOD be with these new lords." The river lord states most decisively, his patient demeanor awaiting the response of his court.
