Gavin_ 2027 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Writ of Dissolution13th of Sun’s Smile, 1747 I, Marcelius I, Serene Prince of Evreux, of the Elder House of Staunton, direct descendent of King Joseph I of the Kingdom of Courland, hereby declare the dissolution of House Staunton, with immediate effect. ___________________________________________________ Portrait of Henry Staunton, first Prince of Evreux ___________________________________________________ It is with heavy heart that I pen these heavy words. My doing so is not undertaken with pleasure. But by necessity. For many years now I have witnessed the destruction of this House by those whose characters have fallen far from what is to be expected of a Staunton, the virtues which once made House Staunton respected, can no longer be found in those bearing the name. No longer, shall this House be sullied by those undeserving of bearing the name. No longer shall the legacies of greater men be tarnished by wastrels living off of the success of those who came before. From humble wine merchants, have I descended. With the guidance of Percival, the first Count of Courland, we rose. Through the might of Aleksandr, we crippled an Empire, bringing it to its knees and formed a Kingdom. Under the leadership of his son, Tobias, we rebelled once more and rested, the greatest Kingdom of man the world has seen. Alongside the struggles of Joseph, straddled the breaking down of the Kingdom, and with the visions of Frederick, the Kingdom drew its last breath. Scoff not at the achievements of this House, for there are few Houses which can claim such accolades and history. There are few Houses which will ever live up to that of House Staunton, both its heights and its lows. As the natural and only legitimate patriarch, whose line of descent is the sole line recognized by both man and GOD, I invoke my princely prerogative and the authority afforded to that stature, endowed upon me by the most supreme - GOD - to dissolve this House. The titles of; King of Courland, Serene Prince of Evreux, Margrave of Ostmark, Duke of Curon, Duke of Courland, Duke of Eruthos, Duke of Cascadia, Duke of Fredrica, Count of Westmark, Count of Hearth, Count of Sundhold, Count of Beauclair, Count of Wett, Count of Eastmark, Count of Curon, Count of Aleksandria, Count of Riga, Count of Gotha, Baron of Fjordham, Baron of Eastcliffe, Baron of Kraken’s Watch, Baron of Vsenk, Baron of Geatea, Are hereby destroyed, consigned to the wrinkled pages of dusty tomes and the musings of bards. My children and their descendents are forfeit from the reclamation of House Staunton and her titles. Furthermore, they and myself, shall bear the name of HEARTH, a once defunct cadet branch of House Staunton. The House of Staunton, with what little vestiges of respect and authority it commands, is pronounced dead. The White Eagle of Courland soars no more,Ad Mortem Staunton ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ Signed, Marcelius Hearth.

winterblood 11181 Share Posted December 23, 2019 “You just know some distant Staunton or another will crawl out of the woodwork a few years from now to try and remake this name, all to try and gain power for themselves,” Nemir Valnelis said to her little companion Allric as she collected herbs from the brush. The aging elf had been living a recluse life in the forests for some time now, though she sometimes learned of the on-goings of the world from various travelers that would come her way.
