LETTER OF DECLARATION

8th of the First Seed, 1746

 

---

To Our Loyal Subjects and to Our Allies,

 

It is our pleasure to announce to thee, our loyal subjects that we Edward, first of our name, of the House of Suffolk have recovered from our illness which rendered us without the power to even move. But now at our 106th age, our mind is sharp as ever and our body is up to the task still! As this year marks the 85th year of our rule over the Suffonian people and it is the year of our recovery, we were expecting to wake up to prosperity and festivities; but we have mournfully woken up to war and bloodshed.

 

While we were incapacitated, our grandson from our second son, now second in line to our throne, John Nicholas has assumed our regency under Suffonian Law as the Lord Protector of Suffonia. Under this capacity, our grandson Prince John declared the independence of Suffonia from the Orenian Empire and joined the coalition against them. As the Orenian Empire has wronged us countless times and violated the foundation of our vassalage under them, our vassalage agreement with Emperor Alexander, we celebrate this act of our Prince Grandson and approve it. While this being said, we cannot cherish violence and war between the faithful, Orenians might have no virtue but they art still a Canonist state and violence against them should be prevented, if possible. We thank the previous High Pontiff, as we have heard he summoned the leaders of this conflict to a peace summit before blood was shed, we applaud our Prince Grandson for accepting this summons and being willing to solve this conflict with the pen, not by the sword. But alas Orenians, who covers behind a presumptive curtain of morality and faith, refused to participate and negotiate for peace. We would hope more from the faithful. 

 

Regretfully, this war against the Orenians is not the only bad news we have received. During our long slumber, we have dreamt the same evil dream over and over; a white bear shackled by demons, being whipped by creatures and a puppet sitting on her back. We now see our dreams were nothing but the truth. Once the proud Kingdom of Curonia is belittled by her supposed allies. The Emperor who was supposed to protect them stole their crown like a common thief and appointed a female as their governor, further mocking the primogeniture tradition of Curonia. Even after the death of this said female governor, the Emperor refused to give the rightful crown back to the House of Devereux and this time appointed a male governor. While the orenian emperor and his bureaucrats toy with the Curonian people for their self amusement and satisfaction, the so called curonian leadership choose let these insults slide. Instead of growing a backbone and standing up to the tyrants of oren for the wellbeing and pride of the curonian people, the curonian leadership seeks easy paths to glory from the comfort of their palace. Our ministers brought before us countless reports of curonian leaders ignoring the plight of their people while shamelessly  spending the treasury with sinful feasts and parties and of them devouring cakes and other delicacies while their people cant even find bread. When Curonia was nothing but merely the Order of Ursus, Wilhelm Devereux, later King Wilhelm I, our dearest friend entrusted his future Kingdom of Curonia and his people to us and beseeched us to defend his people even after he was long gone. We stood with King Wilhelm and his four successors for the love we bore for him. Now again we will not let our friend down, we will do as he pleaded and save his people and his kingdom’s honour from the mismanagement and corruption of its current leaders. We pledge to liberate the Kingdom of Curonia.

 

Last but not least, most importantly we art aware of our duties not only to the Curonian citizens but to thee, our loyal subjects. After eighty five long and fruitful years, growth and prosperity of our people and estates became uncontainable under our current administrative structure. Our Archduchy served us well but it is once again time for our crimson eagle to soar and take her rightful place, we shall honour Suffonia and our people with the status they deserve. With these high purposes, we do proclaim a coronation to be held in Warwick Castle, in celebration of our Lord, our realm, and our people. We extend an invitation to the men and women of our most esteemed allies; the Duchy of Morsgrad, Principality of Rubern, the Silver State of Haelun’or, the Union of Renelia-Gladewynn, the Forest Realm of Irrinor, people of  Al-Faiz, citizens of the Alliance of Independent States, the people of Curonia and the Holy Mother Church. Furthermore, in keeping with our ideals of service to our Lord God, to celebrate this occasion we wish to gift High Pontiff Pontian III with exotic gifts crafted by our vassals for him and wish him a robust Pontificate in these trying times of we the faithful.

Ave peace, Ave Suffonia,

DIEU MON DROIT,

HIS HIGHNESS Prince Edward of the House of Suffolk, Archduke of Suffonia,

Duke of Warwick, Count of Pembroke and Baron of Alnwick

“God bless Suffonia!” Alexander Merentel, the Duke of Westmark, would exclaim as he hears the news and proceeds to attend the upcoming coronation of his liege lord.

 

”I’m sure this is only the beginning of a great and powerful Kingdom” he’d also comment in regard with this proclamation.

[THUNDER37 162]

Kalgrym gave up around the.. third.. word or so, giving a hefty sigh as he’d skim over the remainder of the contents and come to the conclusion that political endeavors were far too serious for the old Dwarf. Turning to give Iduna some hack about John’s performance before she’d run off and he’d retire to the bar for the evening.

Edmund smiles at his missive “Ave Suffolk, Ave Suffonia!” 

[argonian 14254]

"You call yourself a king, you wretched old corpse of a man? Your insolence is unbecoming of a noble, much less the trumped up pikey warlord you truly are. Neither the unwashed masses of Suffonia nor their befouled chieftain, staining the fair land they squat on with their unwelcome presence, have any right to stand among the ranks of the independent nations of this world. All they deserve, and all they are owed, is a swift death befitting the swine they are. 

 

Should any Suffonian have the balls to try defend his honour, and challenge me to a duel, I direct him to go **** himself because I shan't stoop myself to the low of slaughtering animals and staining my sword in pig's blood. But perhaps, when I am freed from my current imprisonment, I shall change my mind and teach you low-born ingrates the fear of GOD."

“But nobody is crowning your King, even if there were such a bishop, it requires the approval of the Pontiff for which there is none. If it who i think it is, he doesn’t have the authority to coronate anyway.” said Boniface

“Sorry who are you and when was your opinion relevant to anyone?” Says Edmund as he is fed grapes and fanned with big leaves
