The Dissolution of Vandoria: A Sultanate Rises

[Imam Faiz Kharadeen 3167]

A public decree is sent forth across the lands of Vailor, available for any to read to understand the new changes. The document would read...

 

"On this day of the 5th of Malin's Welcome, 1566, The Kingdom of Vandoria is hereby dissolved along with all government positions due to John Leopold's incompetence of ending our Intifada. The Kingdom of Vandoria shall henceforth be forever known as The Sultanate of Sharaff, with Ashruf Kaneen leading as its Sultan. All flags, banners, and anything related to the former Vandorian government is to be burn and destroyed immediately. Those that continue to hang the flags of red, black, and white will be labeled as a loyalist of Vandoria and will be dealt with appropriately with violence. 

 

Along with the formation of the Sultanate of Sharaff comes new changes as well as retaining old policies.

 

• The Capital of The Sultanate of Sharaff shall remain to be at Aethermore. The Cart Hub shall remain at Aethermore as well.
• The Blessed SoulStone Pillar shall be moved to the outskirts of Aethermore, may the lesser Aenguls will it.
• A new council shall be erected to govern the lands of Sharaff, a government in similarity to the Grand Kingdom of Urguan's council.
• The national colors shall henceforth be dark green and white, in honor of House Kaneen.
• The settlement of Ariamis, Ard-Ghorrock, and Marbrand are given a Khali week to swear their fealty to the Sultan Ashruf Kaneen and the newly formed Sultanate of Sharaff if they wish to continue living peacefully within their land holdings, otherwise face immediate siege once the lesser Aenguls deem its allowance.
• The Sultanate of Sharaff most graciously accepts the religion Al-Iiman Rashidun[The Rightly Guided Faith] as its national religion. [https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/145080-al’iiman-rashidun-the-rightly-guided-faith/]
• The Sultanate of Sharaff shall henceforth allow Freedom of Religion[to an extent], no punishments shall be inflicted upon the faithless. Those that follow in the way of Iblees shall be executed.
• The Sultanate of Sharaff hereby breaks all former ties with the Empire of Oren. 
• The Sultanate of Sharaff shall be in talks with formally entering the Axis Powers alliance, unless the Orenian Empire subtracts all her influence within the lands of Sharaff. If the Empire of Oren accepts to subtract all influence from the lands, the nation will enter a state of neutrality.
• House Rovin is to be banished from the lands of Sharaff.
• The throne of the Sultan shall be placed within the citadel of Hibat-allah.
• The current borders of Sharaff are highlighted in Yellow, those highlighted in red are Sharaff's de jure claim of land and shall be incorporated within the Sultanate once said settlement either swear fealty peacefully or is conquered forcefully.

 

Those that have served faithfully under Ashruf Kaneen during the Intifada are to also swear themselves under the newly formed nation of Sharaff, which will then be given a seat upon the grand council afterwards."

I, [RP name], lord/lordess of [enter your settlement name], hereby swear my utter loyalties and devotion to the Sultanate of Sharaff.

I will uphold Sharaff's laws, and obey the Sultan's word always. Never will I question his authority.

I will protect the lands of Sharaff and not divulge myself in the corruption. I will remain true and loyal until my last breath.

Rock the Ghorrock, rock the Ghorrock."

Upon notice of this victorious change, Arya offers a happy smile while giving a decreeing demand to the Qalasheen standing side-guard to begin ripping off any Vandorian coloured banner. 

[Publius 4098]

"The Kingdom of Vandoria was dissolved and brought into Oren already." Lepidus comments.

 

"Sounds like a great farfolk fan fiction in the making, though."

Edwin hastily begins a reply to his new Sultan, a heavy grin plaguing his face as he writes away.

 

I, Edwin Sarino, Lord of Krinford, hereby swear my utter loyalties and devotion to the Sultanate of Sharaff.

I will uphold Sharaff's laws, and obey the Sultan's word always. Never will I question his authority.

I will protect the lands of Sharaff and not divulge myself in the corruption. I will remain true and loyal until my last breath.

[MajesticOwyn 334]

"The true lords of Vandoria support this. We did not ask to be drawn into the clutches of the Empire, subject to their wants." Morvan commented as he paced in front of his hearth. "The Qalasheen ruled and held this land before Vandoria was even a whisper, and did far more for us than the Rovin's ever did. It was the Rovin's who created Vandoria, an incompetent and failed state since it's birth. They should have never been trusted, a lesson we have all learned."

A short time later, Morvan would kneel before Ashruf and plant his round-shield into the floor of the throne room.

"I, Morvan of Orvar, Yagar of  Tyravik, hereby swear my utter loyalties and devotion to the Sultanate of Sharaff.

I will uphold Sharaff's laws, and obey the Sultan's word always. Never will I question his authority.

I will protect the lands of Sharaff and not divulge myself in the corruption. I will remain true and loyal until my last breath. 

I swear to always serve faithfully under Sharaff and house Kaneen, along with all my people under me. May Allah and my gods, those of the Jolfmarr, bear witness to my oath."

"Hmm, perhaps its time for the first Errantry War to begin....the poor people of this realm are caught under a magical spell from this Sultan." remarks Maric

[Slothtastic 761]

"Joor ees awnly loyawl taw thaw ladies awf Aethermoor heer. They awr thaw cheeldrawn awf Neero, saw Joor weel awnly follow their word. They awr thaw new lords awf Aethermoor. Saw awnteel they cawmmawnd Joor taw swear loyalty Joor won't swear sheet." Says a Kha, examining the paper. "Alsaw thaw Vandoria colors awr beautiful. Eet's aw shaym they awr taykeeng them da'own." He says quite disappointed.

"Hahahaha get out you cancerous cuck" states Tom Wettlock, wiping a tear from his eye

 

The sixty-eight-and-a-half year old mercenary and veteran of the Eighteen Years War (Having fought on both sides at length of that reputed conflict), Hermann von Locklear und Stahl, offers a toast to Vandoria with his goblet, clinking the pewter chalice upon Tom's glistening forehead in jest. 

 

"This is terrible! Why are you rejoicing? " asks a page-boy whose name was Johannes, concerned as to why Hermann's comfortable Imperial retirement would lead him to celebrate such an upheaval (Or not an upheaval, [a downheaval] for the Khalestites were known for making declarations of great impotence) to such detriment of his newly-found (For indeed, he held twenty-six citizenships ranging from Urguan to Hrq Remal) fatherland. 

 

"Because, dear Franz," mispronounced the eminent Freiherr von Locklear und Stahl, "It is demonstrable that things cannot be otherwise than as they are, for as all things have been created for some end, they must necessarily be created for the best end. Observe, for instance, how the legs are designed specifically so we might wear trousers, and so accordingly we wear trousers. It is the nature and express purpose of stones to be hewn into bricks and made into castles, and it is the nature of pigs to exist - so that we might eat pork all year round."

 

The page-boy whose name was Andrew listened intently, pondering what this all meant. "But Freiherr von Locklear und Stahl, what does this all mean?"

 

"Well, my boy Gustav," offered the polymath Hermann von Locklear und Stahl, "It means that the existence of somebody like Ashruf Kaneen, is demonstrably for a particular purpose, since things cannot possibly be otherwise than as they are, for things as they are, are the best they could possibly be. The 'dissolution of Vandoria' is in fact the best possible outcome for things, as they are presently of course, because any other outcome would be naturally inferior. God has made Ashruf Kaneen and his tribal Orvar comrades rabid lunatics for a reason, and it has been to make us Imperials look infinitely better by comparison, for with said comparison, the Empire is goodly and benevolent with all their denigration unjustified, but without such comparison, who knows what they would be justified in saying about us?" 

 

[Abyssus 487]

A man in his luxury house on the Vandorian land sat back in his chair, cheering with raising a glass of his wine.

 

Picking up the informative letter, he'd give a quiet chuckle, showing a grin

 

"Ahahaha, Allah be praised.."

 

 

"We have reclaimed our holy land."

Enter Paradise...

 

  Adil, former Champion of Hallowvale and current legitimate heir to the title Vandalore rests upon a beach in a distant land. He was on vacation, taking in the sun and finally catching a break. He took a deep breath; Vailor was far far away, but he managed to hear the news from the mainland some way or another.

 

  The weathered Qalasheen takes a moment to read the paper titled 'The Dissolution of Vandoria', reading every bit of information. He remembered fondly the days of donning the Waldenian Pickelhaube and serving as a diligent officer.

 "Funny that is," Adil states, to no one in particular. "Funny that this.. Sultanate of Sharaff is brought about to destroy something that nearly saved the Caliphate." he'd sip out of a coconut, smacking his lips. "A King shouldn't have to micromanage every aspect of his kingdom, that is why nobility exists!" he'd nod to the sand pile next to him, squinting his eye up at the sun. "The red, black, and white that protected the citizens for so long, I remember many a times preventing raids and crime as a Hallowvale soldier, plenty can attest for that, those that don't are simply revisionists and Oren genocide deniers!" the Qalasheen would note, referencing the countless civilian casualties by Dunamis raiders under Faiz Kharadeens eyes.

 

  Adil begins to pen the man, this so called "Sultan Ashruff Kaneen."

 

Dearest Ashruff,

   You didn't respond to my last letter! I thought we decided the fate of Vandoria would be in the hands of a steel ferrum cage match, the only way Decimus would have wanted it? Remember my letter? The Pebbles Challenge? No? Oh well! Well, Assrough, I send you this message today with high hopes you will respond! As the legal heir of Hallowvale Contracting, considering both Nafis and Decimus are presumed dead (Qalasheen Assassins, mind you, they fight with their feet!), I demand that this dissolution is dissolutioned! Look, I'm on vacation right now, I really don't want to burst your bubble, but I just gotta. Hand over the reigns of Vandoria to me. Until I return, just have Vandoria like it was before and after Hallowvale showed up: Dead, untouched, and desolate! Seems after we pulled out and moved on, leaders come left and right, not TRUE Vanders that will hold back the Winter!

Signed, Adil the Vandalore ✡

 

P.S. If you want an exact date, I will be back in exactly Seventy one Kharadeen days! Wait for me at the docks, we'll continue our discussion on the cage match then. Good bye Ashrough!

A simple letter is returned

 

"I am not Vander. I will never be Vander, for the Vander ideology is filthy and unwanted. If you seek a challenge, then jump off a cliff and seek your own demise, Oath breaker. If you wish for a dual, then look for me within the deserts. I will ensure to place my sabre deep within your heart for your insolent crimes against the Qalasheen.

 

-Ashruf Kaneen."

 

 

[Aelu / Rel (Combustionary) 1540]

As word of the decree travels the shattered nation, the gates of Ariamis slam closed.

 

Those nearby may notice a number of birds flying from the closed city, headed Northeast towards the Orenian Capital.

 

To Aethermoore, nor any other Vandorian settlement, no birds fly.
