The Frustration of a Coward

Issued and confirmed by His Grace, the Duke of Eastmark, 11th of The Grand Harvest, 1742

 

The House of Merentel had lived in harmony with each other since its creation in the Realms of Axios until now, at which time, I, Tobias Merentel, have been betrayed by my own uncle, Alexander, who has claimed all the titles belonging to the House of Merentel and its patriarchy. 

 

My own uncle, my father's brother, stuck a sword in my back in cold blood when I gave him my vote of confidence. He committed treason against his own deceased brother, Sergius Merentel, who appointed me, Tobias Merentel, as the rightful heir of the House of Merentel. This despicable being believes that he is in a game in which the ultimate goal is to gain power at the lowest possible cost. He has rebelled not only against me, but also against the Kingdom of Curonia and the House of Devereux, to which he swore loyalty.  He and a small militia have fled under the protection of the Archduchy of Suffonia, who has promised to support them in this stupid rebellion that my uncle has started.

 

A paper signed by John Nicholas Suffolk cannot erase hundreds of years of history out of nowhere. I, Tobias Merentel, Duke of Eastmark, Count of Alannor and Baron of Hallowfell, am the legitimate ruler of the House of Merentel. The governance of the House of Merentel has passed from father to son for generations, the brother of the deceased patriarch has no right to claim anything at all.

 

For this reason, in defense of sovereignty, I, Tobias Merentel, Patriarch of the House of Merentel, disown Alexander Merentel, brother of Sergius Merentel, from the Merentel House. He does not have the right to use the last name "Merentel" or consider himself a member of the family and, of course, he has no right to the title of Duke of Eastmark or any other title. He only has the right to appear before me and be punished for his actions of rebellion, sedition, and high treason.

 

 Signed,

   

HIS GRACE, Tobias of the House of Merentel, Royal Solicitor of the Kingdom of Curonia, Duke of Eastmark, Count of Alannor and Baron of Hallowfell
