[KIIWIKILLA 342]

Kindling

Penned 4th of the Deep Cold 1716

 

In response to the acceptance of Rodrick Kortrevitch’s olive branch by my grandson’s widow, Lilliana Baruch (nee Kortrevitch), I Lord Marius Karl Baruch condemn her actions. She has acted against her family and friends in the Kingdom of Haense and her actions are unforgivable. Her children, Kamilla, Sigmar and Eirik have already been left without a father and now their mother abandons them, innocent and young, to side with her traitor brother. The bond between a parent and child should never be broken, the sanctity of love and guidance from a parent is what shapes a child's life. The death of my son, Jan the Black’s father, is more than a small contributory factor in Jan’s downfall. Lilliana was well aware of that, yet she chose to leave her children without a mother. A truly appalling course of action that can never be forgiven.

 

I express now an apology to all of the men and women, noble and common folk of the Empire for the recent actions of my family, blood and otherwise. In this time of darkness it is imperative that we band together as one and fight our common enemy together in unity. In my father’s childhood, his father held land in rebellion against House Staunton in the name of King Marius I, leading to the Greyspine Rebellion and restoration of Haense and the great city of Alban. At the beginning of my life the Kingdom of Haense had been defeated by the Staunton dogs. We did not give up, and we did not sit back and let our heritage and culture be lost to time and distant memories. We bound together and retook what was rightfully ours. We fought a war, reclaimed our homes, and built a better future for our successors. We shall do that again, for the liberty of those who follow us.

 

In the power vested in me as my great-grandson, Sigmar’s, regent, I pledge House Baruch and myself to the Kingdom of Haense and the House of Barbanov, as it has been for generations. We stand beside our Stafyr and Vyronov grandsons, our Alimar and Barbanov nephews, our Vanir cousins and anyone else who stands on the side of justice. We are bound as a nation in blood and friendship. By the grace of GOD we shall not falter, our loyalty shall not waver, and we will not be defeated. Now more than ever is the time for unity and strength between families and friends.

 

Ave Haense, Ave Marna, Ave Baruch.

 

Signed,

 

Sigmar Joren, of the House of Baruch, Count of Ayr, Baron of Voron, Laval, and Riveryn, Lord of Saint’s Rest and Jorenstadt, and Guardian of the Hansetti Coast.

 

Marius Karl, of the House of Baruch, Associate Justicar to the Kingdom of Haense, and Regent to Count Sigmar of Ayr.

[giambro 612]

places his cup of ale on the counter, hearing of the news, “What a selfish act from a SELFLESS human being to leave her three children behind. Very careless. This just makes my thirst for war even stronger.” he took another gulp of his ale and went out of his manor. He was heading toward the fighting pits in Haense!

[SubscriptShark2 197]

As could be felt amongst Ayr, a chilling flow of air was upon them.

 

Jan would look upon the county from the seven skies with regret.

[CaptainHaense 1154]

Ser Aldrik “the Stalwart” approves of this reaffirmation of loyalty from his descendants, finding the observation of the living as the only entertainment in the Seven Skies

[ninjaclimb1 432]

Sigmar looked down from the seven skies, grinning proudly at his fathers loyalty. If only he lived long enough to see this war, it would of proved interesting.
