The 10th King of Norland

[Narthok 10416]

 

The King atop the High Cliffs

Issued on behalf of the Ashen Council of the Norlandic Court

---

On the 11th day of Summer 1641, his majesty Jory Eiriksson Rurik was chosen by the Chiefs, Thanes and Lordlings of the Cliffed Kingdom. On this day we of the Ashen Council and the Hearth Council do proclaim with a unified voice that Jory Eiriksson Rurik is to assume the Thorned Crown of our sundered realm. In recognition of the cataclysm which tore our realm apart at the behest of the Ashling we do bestow upon him a new Thorned Crown. While the crown of old was crafted from the shards of Seahelm’s mighty Trunk, this Crown shall be made from the shards of Vjorhelm’s own shattered tree. Thus Jory is to never forget the actions of the usurper, who split our realm apart and condemned it to fire and ash.

 

In rejecting the All Father the Ashling brought down the All Father’s fury, his folly shall never be forgotten. Henceforth the Kingdom of Norland asserts that the All Father’s light dwells within the hearts of all of its people. Furthermore the Ashen council does formally acknowledge the sacred authority of the Holy Heart in sacred matters. Thus the Holy Hearth does bestow the following sacred titles upon Jory Eiriksson Rurik. Jory Eiriksson Rurik is declared as the of Defender of the Faith. He is charged with ensuring the safety of the Brotherhood, the faithful and all of the All Father’s Holy Hearths.

 

Unlike the Ashling who rejected the result of his own moot. His majesty invoked his sacred right as a male of Rurikid blood and called the ancient tribes and clans to moot. Here he stood amongst his brothers and made his case for his brothers. Calling for an end to the war and bloodshed that had plagued his predecessors, that he may bring about a new age of Norland. An age of faith, an age of growth. The vote was unanimous with each of his brothers abdicating their claim in favour of Jory’s assumption of the Crown. Having been legally chosen from amongst the eligible by the chieftains, lordlings and thanes of the realm. The following secular titles are bestowed. Jory Eiriksson Rurik is henceforth to be styled as King of Norland. Jory Eiriksson Rurik is henceforth recognized as the chieftain of Eiriksson clan. From this day until his dying day, Jory Eiriksson Rurik will reign as the 10th King of Norland and her peoples.

"Thankfully it's number ten, else those we met with would run out of fingers to count up." says a mid-laughing 'Red' from beside Elle's side.

Elle chuckles. "Aye, they'd run out of fingers to count with." She agrees.

"I guess we will be hearing the 11th King, extremely soon."

"Only in your dreams, idiot." Elle Noctuid retorts in an annoyed tone, arms crossed and eyes narrowed.
