Conrad the Shrewd

[ACU20 567]

 

*A few notes made out of a lightly golden parchment would've found it's way to Metz, Aleksandria and parts of Mardon, bearing the words of an unknown, but wealthy man*

 

 

Truth be told, plebians and lordlings of whichever realm this note might find it's way to, I come with both a word of advice, warning and a point.

 

I am Tristifier Ross, loyal servant and man-at-arms to the true House Roswell since the Coalition war, having served with Magnate Casimir Staszak and Patrek Roswell and hearing all the tales of the Pasnian people and House Roswell in the process. I learned much during the twenty years I served alongside Count Conrad's father, presumably the greatest was on how to be a man, but I digress.

 

Conrad is no man at all, he is but a spineless squid and a snake which lives on the bottomn of the deepest of oceans as the bottomnfeeder he is. He knows no honor or loyalty to himself , selling himself and his name like a common prostitute for measly minas and not something that could last for eternity, his honor and reputation. House Ruthern which he now claims to serve is a house much the same, selling itself to the highest bidder in order to preserve what? A legacy born out of another House, the Carrions? The Ruthern's have proven to be manipulative and oppurtunistic fools. This is a time for unity! Not division! They have, along with their vassals proven their stupidity through their recent acts when the Westerlands have just fallen and humanity is preparing to strike back against the foul undead. 

 

You gave up Krakow to Lorraine but a few years ago when they were pressuring you, giving your loyalty to House Staunton for protection which they so generously gave you, now even after all that's happened you sell yourself to their side for naught but a small dirt hovel along the streets of Alekandria and a keep that no longer belongs to you. You, the supposed successor to my friend sold yourself to a wood elf which so easily cuckolded you and as expected, you did naught to defend your honor. 

 

If I was a man of lesser courtesy I'd have perhaps suggested you change your name from Conrad to Cuckold, as it appears fitting, considering the recent events which you have indeed proven yourself to be of such status.

 

Perhaps you have forgotten, Conrad, it was House Ruthern who attempted to sway your mother away from your father during the coalition war to use you as a political prisoner, but you so easily run into their arms now? Why? Do they have a few minas laying around which you just have to put your hands on? Are you so ignorant of the people that truly wish to harm you that you are blinded by the monetary gain you waste away so easily.

 

Your aspirations have lead you to the gutter, your fortune is no more, your army is no more, your livelihood is no more. All you carry is a name which you have added naught to but dishonor, like the Rutherns have done to the Carrions. Perhaps the Stauntons will be so gracious as to spare you all if you find the honor and courage in yourselves to surrender and admit your wrongdoings, perhaps even realizing your hypocritical acts. Your pretentiousness truly knows no bounds

 

But I presume fools will always be attracted to fools.

 

Signed;

Tristifier Ross

Anguinatus of the Anguine Legion
