House Ruthern 119 Share Posted May 11, 2017 5th of Malin’s Welcome, 1611 We, the men of Ruthern, have received with the utmost sorrow a letter from Franz-Joseph, Archduke of Akovia, in which we were compared to barbarians and threatened with violence. We, the men of Ruthern, are disgusted by the lies and slanderous rumors that are spread about the matter, most of which bear no hold in reality. Edward Roswell was not murdered, he was exiled and sent away on a carriage from Istria with orders not to return, after he surrendered to us and wrote the Act of Annexation of his own free will. His belongings also returned to his own person before departing. We do not know of his whereabouts but we assure the people of Axios that he was not executed. We, the men of Ruthern, are completely baffled by the Royal Response to our Act. The Crown has compelled us to “cease hostilities against the Duchy of Akovia, and by extent, the Crown.” We are unsure of how to go about obeying the wish of our liege considering we have committed no aggressions against either the Archduchy or the Crown. Any act of transgression were not done willingly, and our actions we rescind for. The Crown Law of Courland does not state that any of the actions taken were illegal, nor do any other precedents or books of law followed by the Kingdom of Courland. We, the men of Ruthern, restate that our actions were not illegal in any way and request that the Crown expand on what compelled them to write so. The document was freely signed by the Count Edward, without duress. House Ruthern will relinquish all claims and holdings of the County of Istria, and call the Ruthern banners back to Metterden. The County of Istria, it’s holdings and people are for the judgement of the Crown to pass onto. We hope to remind the Kingdom of Courland that we are it’s loyal vassal ever since we involved ourselves in the destruction of the Orenian Empire underneath Courland’s banners. Signed, His Right Honourable, Joren Ruthern, Count of Metterden, Baron of Rostig, Protector of the Pass and Lord of Alrizcan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
