Dunharrow Affairs of 1714

Issued by his LORDSHIP Alvar I

Confirmed by his HOLINESS Aeyn

 


 

The BURGH of Dunharrow, nestled in the depths of the EARLDOM of NORDENGRAD has come into its own. Its construction nearly done and its confines beginning to teem with returning Nordish folk and a host of new highland citizens seeking a home apart from the Heartland folk. This article shall be issued on an annual basis following the closure of a Chiefsmoot with the intent of informing the citizenry of the affairs of their BURGH and the greater EARLDOM.

 


 

The Chiefsmoot

The Chieftains of Dunharrow and the greater Nordemark gathered in the Hall of the Earl to discuss affairs of the Burgh and the Mark. Advising the Earl and his Council on the needs of the Mark and the Burgh. Thus the first Chiefsmoot of Alvar’s reign was convened.

 

The Following were in attendance

High Chieftain Alvar of Freysson

Chieftain Aeyn of Edvardsson

Chieftain Caylus of Caunter

First Chieftain Erik of Eiriksson and Rorik

Chieftain Kensway of Fiscere

Chieftain Tyr of Faretto

Clanswoman Layla representing Arden

Clansman Vangel of Freysson, attending at the invitation of the Earl

 

The Following were in absentia

Chieftain Vladimyr of Rosik

Edvard II of Edvardsson

 

First Point of Discussion, Recognition of The Faretto Clan

The long lost Farettos returned, their patriarch Tyr stumbling into the hall lost in his  own memories. After a query from the High Keeper the Earl acknowledged their status as a Nordish clan and granted Tyr a chieftajn's seat at the chiefsmoot.

 

Second Point of Discussion, The Clanless Captain

Chieftain Caylus raised concern over the fact that a clanless man was currently serving as captain of the Dunharrow watch. Stating that perhaps a clanned man should be selected to replace him. Citing Nordish tradition he believed that if this practice should continue then the clanless would begin to act above their station. Thinking themselves equal to those of ancient and loyal Nordish clans. This was countered by Clansman Vengel recalling the Nordish way of strength and competence, saying the man should be allowed to remain if he proved competent. Ultimately the situation was resolved when the Captain cast himself into the Flames of Dunharrow stating his desire to be one with the All Father.

 

Third Point of Discussion, First Flame Festival

Chieftain Aeyn raised his concerns over the security and preparations of the First Flame Festival. Stating that the most holy of festivals was likely to be attacked and disturbed. His LORDSHIP Alvar determined that additional clanless and freemen were to be pressed into the watch for the duration of the festival.

 

 


 

Establishing the Dunharrow Watch

 

His LORDSHIP Alvar herein formally establishes the Dunharrow watch. To protect the walls of the Burgh and patrol the confines of the Earldom. This force shall be populated with the clanless and freemen of the Burgh. Foreigners and non residents may not serve, as it cannot be tolerated for others to hold the keys to our home.

 

The Watch shall be comprised of the Watch Captain, the Gate Sergeant and the Drill Sergeant. The watch shall, at all times man the Watch Tower, the Dunharrow Gate and the Burgh walls. The officers of the watch shall be responsible for the recruiting, outfitting, training and directing or junior and senior watchmen. Funds for these tasks may be drawn from the Keeper of Keys.

 


 

Establishing the Dunharrow Monastery

 

The Burgh of Dunharrow, shall as a consequence of its Fatherist nature house a temple. Thus by the grace of the Hearth Council and the assent of the High Keeper the Dunharrow Monastery is established. Its Hearth to be ignited at the First Flame Festival. This Monastery and its Hearth shall be kept by and serve as the seat of the incumbent High Keeper.

 


 

The First Flame Festival

 

The Festival of the First Flame will be occurring on the second last flame day of the year (saturday beginning at 5pm est). All citizens of the imperial realm are invited with the exception of those descended from Staunton and any Kadarsi. Both are banned from the Burgh and all the holdfasts of the Earldom. Nobles of the realm will be admitted to the exclusive highborn pavillion. To be treated to Nordish delicacies while engaging in some dance to traditional song. It is worth noting the young Earl is seeking a wife.

 

The lowborn shall be entertained in the lower district of the Burgh. Engaging in games and base feasting. Once folk have eaten and drunk their full the tournaments shall begin. A series of melees, duels and jousts. The latter two being restricted to the gentry and above while anyone may participate in the melee. The top performers shall receive elaborate weapons and arms, masterfully forged (unique rp items) and a sum of iron or beasts.

 


 

Alderman Election

 

The Burgh of Dunharrow has finally reached a size where its stewardship requires management and coordination that consumes too much of the Ashen council's attentions. Thus it has come time for the clanless and freemen of the Burgh to elect an Alderman to see to the Burgh's daily administration and affairs.

 

This individual must be a resident of the Burgh who is free of obligations of debt or of fealty beyond the confines of the Burgh. The Earl reserves the right to veto any unacceptable selection. Only citizens of the Burgh may vote. The clanless are, by the mercy of the Earl granted a vote for this election. The Alderman shall serve for two terms before the next election. The Alderman shall have an honorary seat on the chiefsmoot to report on the Burghs affairs. Submit your vote in the following format.

Recognizing Clan Faretto
