THE FIRST LORRAINÉS ASSEMBLY

THE FIRST LORRAINÉS ASSEMBLY

6th of the Grand Harvest, 1746  │ County of Darrowmere

 

Civility. A word that used to be associated with the greater predecessors of Lorrainés archdukes and dukes alike. An association continued by attempted restorators such as Leufroy or Bohemond d’Amaury. Yet the war had interrupted this civil conduct, forcing servicemen and knights of The Order of the Rabbit to resort to guerrilla tactics for the sake of victory. The militant, almost sporadic character of these tactics started to seep through the facets of Lorrainés reputation and way of life. Bureaucrats, diplomats, tailors and artisans: all had existed dormantly under the shadow of constant conflict.

 

The talented Timothee Staunton was referred for his military excellence, but by no means had the political finesse to establish a bureaucratic apparatus.  The initial kidnapping of Berchard d’Amaury from his Provins estate proved a welcome development for Darrowmere: as the young one carried a similar obsession with organization and legacy like his late father. As the young Berchard felt increasingly at home, surrounded by knights and citizens that treated him in a princely fashion, he took over more affairs of state from the young Timothee.

Thus, it was him instead of Timothee Staunton, that was placed on the throne to lead the first Lotharingian assembly. It marked the return to civility among a period of barbarism and war. Even Lothar d’Amaury, a prominent Orenian, attended the assembly by the invitation of his brother. It proceeded as follows: 

 

THE TRIAL OF THARIK CLOUDHOME ON THE CHARGES OF GENOCIDE

 

The Ser John de Balain genocide lives on through the hearts and minds of the Lorrainés people: suffering from the many holes in their family tree of would’ve beens and could’ve beens. It is therefore an omen of benevolent justice that a Sergeant of the Brotherhood of St. Karl, accomplices to this genocide, was captured after he had strayed from his homestead of Reza.

 

His ransom was set on 3.000 Minas and graciously paid by Tiberius of Haense. GOD BLESS his kindred soul for helping a fellow of his man out, even at such a high cost. Despite the war, we give credit to honorable man wherever credit is due. Tharik Cloudhome was therefore released. 

 

 

THE QUESTIONNAIRE 

 

With plenty of new citizens declaring Darrowmere their new homestead, it was deemed necessary to hear their concerns or questions about the society they had just ventured into. Squire Stefan Onfroi inquired about the future plans of Timothee Staunton’s administration, to which Berchard replied marking three important points. I). The rapid expansion of farmsteads, II). The diversification of the Artisan class & III). The increased fortification of Darrowmere and outskirts.

 

The next question was posed by a new lady to the realm, who wondered what her services could be in the highly militarized Darrowmere. Berchard ensured her that there will be an investment in smiths, tailors and a tavern which is hoped to upstart an economy that can employ artisans of all kinds. 

 

STATE OF AFFAIRS

Private convention between those of the Lorrainés government.

 

Timothee Staunton had received word from the Duchy of Morsgrad that they can expect an expansion of their lands and henceforth ascend their title to that of the County of Darrowmere. This development is deemed a crucial catalyst for the Lorrainés expansion plans.

 

With hope of having sufficiently informed those whom it may concern,

 

Timothee Staunton

Lord-Regent of the County of Darrowmere

 

ON BEHALF OF

 

Berchard d’Amaury

Count of Darrowmere, presumed heir to the Archduchy of Lorraine

 

Dima “the Rabbit”

Grandmaster of the Knightly Order of the Rabbit

 

Lothar d’Amaury

Lothar does not remember signing this document!!!

[HadvarAvMitteland 557]

Ser Stefan the Shark Onfroi pulls the note from the notice board, smirking as he reads the title. He would go to his room in the keep, a warm fire roaring in front of him. Ser Stefan puts his feet up, opening up the scroll, intrigued at the information inside. Once read, he was happy that he was recognised and he was very satisfied with how the audience went. Sitting there, tossing the bag of 750 minas up and down, he would be proud of Lorraine and it's ransom success. In a whisper, he proclaims to himself, "Ave Lorraine, long live the Lord Darrowmere and praise be to the Rabbit." Throwing the note in the fire he closes his eyes to rest.

((The d’Amaury terms of service states that by playing a d’Amaury character, you agree to: 1). sign all documents that ggteixeira is the author of. 2). be in a constant state of rebellion against the Holy Orenian Empire until Arteh is made Archduke of Lorraine & 3). kidnap children for ransom to pay for operational costs in the first quarter.))

Devitus seeks out Lorraine.

Clovis ‘the Eldest’ d’Amaury is more then willing to sign any documents of rebellion...

[MunaZaldrizoti 8037]

Anna Maria would look to the hearth’s mantle that sat within her family’s manor, upon which several family heirlooms would rest. Upon a small fixture would stand the golden Lorraine pin once possessed by the King Lothar d’Amaury of Lotharingia, before his deposition. She’d smile to herself, before going about her day.
