Reaffirmative Declaration, 1593

[Babadooks 566]

 

 

A document is published, re-affirming the loyalty of the Archduchy of Lorraine to their lawful liege lord, the Holy Orenian Emperor. It reads as follows.

 

Hail to thee, fellow sons and daughters of the Empire.

 

I am sure that by now you have all heard news of the treachery of the Courlandic traitors and their so called Pasnian brethren. They have once more shown their true tendencies as snakes, corrupted to the core. And once more, they will fall like weeds before the might of the Empire. The imperial peace shall be maintained, and the lawful reign of His Imperial Majesty continued.

 

Lorraine once more affirms its undying loyalty to the Crown. The Emperor is the lawful sovereign of mankind and his rule is sacrosanct. Courlandic barbarians once more show their idiocy, treachery, and foolishness with this tirade. Just as before, those who follow the tarnished banner of House Staunton will be slaughtered en masse. They will face retribution for their crimes against humanity.

 

Ave Orenia, and may God deliver us from these trying times.

 

In nomine domini…

His Exalted Grace John I Louis of the House d’Amaury, the Archduke of Lorraine, Duke of Savoy and Kaedrin, Count of Metz, Summerhall, and Cleves, Inheritor of the House de Sola, Forever August, and Ever Loyal Subject of His Imperial Majesty

Upon reading the declaration, Viktor Clarke rises from his seat in his home.  "While their cause is strangely satisfying, they strike upon my home, and they shall not be allowed to do so." he says, as he begins to polish his dusty old armor.

A noblewoman somewhere in Axios feels great pride for her homeland.

 

"Ave Lorraine."

Coltaine "Tower Toppler" Wick sits in his greasy grotto, doing mental exercises to keep his mind sharp, he decides to count as many Lorrainians as he can, he starts off simple. ticking of numbers with his fingers, after a moment he would grunt having only made it to two. "I need to count out a place with more people." he grumbles, moving on with his exercise.

Konrad and his son spontaneously barf after hearing that the Courlanders are rebelling yet again, remembering their father and grandfather's stories of the confusion and utter unprofessionalism of the Courlanders he fought decades before.

"Not for long." Smirks Tobias as he sips his piping hot tea.

Alex Faelan remembers the wars he, a Courlander, fought in for the Empire before the at-the-time Emperor turned his back on their plight against the Carnatians before then supporting their enemies when the Courlanders then looked elsewhere for salvation.

 

Alex Faelan remembers Dwarven screams as they burned in alchemist's fire when Oren attacked the co Snow Elven & Dwarven fortress back in Vailor, the many crusades against heretics back in Athera and scars from battles that still litter his body, yet when more were being added on a regular basis from Carnatian raids, no help could be found within the Empire.

 

Alex Faelan remembers Siegrad, Petrus and Aldersburg; he remembers Felsen and Riga; he remembers at long last a victory, a hope of being able to stay in his home, only to find the skirmish outside Kraken's Watch to have been a blood-soaked diversion as a small Imperial force garrisoned Riga.

 

Alex Faelan remembers the Empire that turned their backs on the hundreds of war veterans that were forced to leave to the Dreadlands, where they still couldn't find sanctuary, 70 to 95 years old homeless as a result...

 

He remembers why Courland will not fall silent.
