Va Birodeo Herzenav e Edlervik,

 

We, the people of Hanseti-Ruska, have shown unparalleled strength during these wartorn years. We began this journey of triumph with a bout of loss. We have lost kin, friends, and loved ones. We transferred this insurmountable pain into a fire in our hearts. A determination, the likes of which our enemies have never faced.

 

Yet, hope is far from lost. Our recent attacks against AIS targets have been successful, and many enemy soldiers have been struck down. Soldiers of the Brotherhood raided the Suffonian city, our most treacherous former allies, and cut down the few defenders that garrisoned it. Now, just this last Saint’s Day, we achieved our first victory on the open roads against the Alliance of Independent States. Haeseni, Imperial, and Ruswick forces triumphed at Hangman’s Bridge, defeating a force consisting of troops from all over the AIS. Out of battle comes glory, and many of our own have shown their valor and skill within these recent victories. Loyal soldiers such as Charles Henway and Zaraleen Tamarid killed many enemies, with hopefully many more to come.

 

With the dawn of this new hope for the Haeseni people, the time has also come to pass on the torch to new leadership. The Honorable Baron of Freising, Lord Wilheim Barclay, has served Our Kingdom for well over two decades with a great degree of honor and dignity. A veteran of the War of the Two Emperors, Lord Barclay has led the Brotherhood of Saint Karl through several different military engagements, including the Lorraine Revolt and the Three Month’s War. He and his officers have created one of the finest militaries in all the Empire, and His Majesty, King Andrik III, owes him a great debt of gratitude for his service throughout the years.  However, with this victory, Lord Barclay has deemed it fit to resign from his position in order to allow a new leader to take command of the war effort. Although he will remain involved as an officer within the Brotherhood of Saint Karl, His Majesty has deemed it fit to name Prince Otto Sigmar as the interim Lord Marshal for the duration of the war, after which another shall be chosen to serve in the position for the long term.

 

Together, we shall strive toward victory as one people and as one Kingdom, united in a common cause as we move ever closer to emerging victorious in this war. To the AIS, I have but one message to give: the Haeseni people will never give up, we will never surrender, and we will finish the fight.

 

 

IV JOVEO MAAN,
His Excellency, Lord Markus Kortrevich, Lord Palatine of the Realm, Baron of Koravia
