Declaration of Falsehood

[Jakesimonson 691]

A missive is delivered to the nobles of the Kingdom of Courland.

 

Friends & Brothers,

 

I write this to herald the return of my house, and to expel the infidelities fed to you all for the last century. The Kovachev line has long been false, a name stolen by Emperor John Frederick to control the Raev throughout his rule. Through his tenure, he gave the name to an unknown peasant, dubbing him Jan son of Varon in order to add whatever credibility he could to those would heed his manipulations. He had fooled some, but as in my travels, long since the death of my grandfather and father, I have heard of the idiocy of the reigning false Lord - I had long since planned my return to challenge those that would spit on the Kovachev name.

 

The only true son of Varon Kovachev was Andrei II, my father. Any who contend this have no right, for they know nothing of my tribe and the scions of my line. There is no legitimacy behind this peasant Jan, and whatever offspring he shot from his arse. Since the sudden appearance of this fake Kovac, his Carnation sons have existed in the velvet pocket of the Emperor, tribute to the fact that it was his purpose to keep the Raev willfully obedient underneath him. We saw the Emperor’s successor attempt a similar resolve, ‘gifting’ Krajia to the Hetman Vsevolod, however he was not as easily manipulated and rose up against the Empire.

 

I call for the capture of these false men, so that they might be lawfully tried and their illegitimacy recognised. My name is my birthright, and I will not allow it to be commandeered by some peasant class that sat on the leash of a Horen. It was once a house which had gut and will, who toppled Empires and reigned over Akovia. It will once again be a House that demands respect, however we must first seek to end the fallacy of their current line, for it holds no blood higher than a serf.

 

SIGNED

 

Franz Josef Kovachev, Count of Laval, Akovia & Karovia,

"Scandalous." Tristifier would say as he read over the declaration

[iris1612 1780]

"Courland puppets are attempting to de-legitimize Northern houses on a large scale now," says Nikolai "I had thought the incident with the Rutherns was alone but clearly this is orchestrated as part of a larger plan. It matters not, no amount of inane screeching will change the blood of the North."

[StokedOff 456]

Sergei Kovachev would hear of the news "A man cannot just state that he is the one and only relative to Varon when Varon is no longer living to say it himself. I'd like to see you try and slay us yourself." Sergei would mutter under his breath

[seannie 7443]

"Oh my, going back to the roots are we now." Adelwen remarks loftily.

[Vindicant 642]

"How unsurprising. Once more, those of Courland seek to destabilize those who ah've fought and bled for." A certain Cleric murmurs. 

[InfamousGerman 1553]

"Sons of Varon fallen to Courland puppets, unfortunate." comments John.

Stanimir coughs, "I suppose madness is genetic, eh?"

[Xarkly 17299]

 

Another good family name, disgraced in the name of hollow, empty power.

 

Men are so weak.

 

Thinks the disenfranchised, irrelevant Floris van Loden as he hears the news at a modest road-side tavern on a westward road.

[Vege 4804]

Robert Staunton welcomes the rightful claimant to the title of patriarch of House Kovachev!

[Nathan_Barnett36 1564]

"Franz Josef Kovachev is nothing but a puppet for Courland who is only using this as an excuse to kill kovachevs" says Galahad before returning to Sergei Kovachev, bowing his head

[Andustar 4143]

"You have no proof to declare our line false  'Kovachev', no true Kovachev would bow to those who sought to genocide your own people." Viktor Kovachev would remark

[JVQ 1719]

"The North supports your claim!" Ostromir would say.

[CaptainHaense 1154]

Franz Josef Kovachev, Count of Laval, Akovia & Karovia,

John Pasquier wonders how someone can be Count of Laval when it is only a barony. He also ponders who gave him this title, as it is rightfully his.

[Vetren54 368]

Tiberius glances over the crumpled declaration he'd picked up from the floor and look up from the notice to the actual duke of Kovagrad.  He'd begin to chuckle mildly, slowly working himself into a full hysterical laugh.  The men in the tavern around him would gather around at the commotion, soon beginning to break out into the same laughter.  Soon enough, the whole tavern, filled with the toughest, burliest men across the isles, was crying from the hysterical laughing brought about by the notice.  As the laughing died down after what seemed to be hours, Tiberius would remark, "A clown couldn't do better than an inbred Staunton,"  which seemed to reignite the vicious cycle of laughter.
