I. Let it be known that, after countless days of hectic negotiating in neutral Papal territory, the KINGDOM OF HAENSE has relinquished its claim to the DUCHY OF ADRIA, returning the title to its rightful lord, DUKE JOHN SARKOZIC.

 

II. The KINGDOM OF HAENSE shall make no attempts, by force of arms nor honeyed words, to extort tax revenue, peasant subservience, nor military loyalty from the denizens of the new DUCHY OF ADRIA and her liege lord, DUKE JOHN SARKOZIC.

 

III. The KINGDOM OF HAENSE views the ADRIAN DECLARATION as a necessary precursor to peace and prosperity for all of mankind, and grants its noble blessing to the folk of the DUCHY OF ADRIA, that they may enjoy long, prosperous seasons of summer until the end of days.

 

Signed,

His Majesty the King Karl II of Hanseti and Ruska, Grand Hetman of the Army, Prince of Dules, Lahy, Sorbesborg and Slesvik, Regent of Pruvia, Grand Duke of Vanderfell, Duke of Akovia, Krajia and Aldersburg, Margrave of Rothswald, Count of Karikhov, Baranya, Kavat, Karovia, Torun, and Kaunas, Viscount of Alamar, Baron of Vsenk, Valwyk, Rostig, Esenstadt, Krepost and Kralta, Lord of the Westfolk, Lord of Markev, Protector of the Highlanders, etcetera

Young Matthew approves of the declaration, having always seen the Adrian's as kindred men and women.

returning the title to its rightful lord

 

Broos frowns, tossing his copy of the declaration into his fireplace.

 

"Bloody Northerners, ain't there title to return should be forfeiting your claim period. Besides so long as the cocky whoresons are still calling themselves Kings of Ruska we'll always have a target on our back."

 

Then makes his way to the tavern to drown his sorrows in Carrion Black.
