DECLARATION OF REGENCY, 1758

“In victoria et in proelio scientia est potentia terra de stauntonia”

1st of Tobias’ Bounty, 1758

It is with tears that I write this document. In the short reign of my father Percival, he has failed the Kingdom of Courland in every regard and every single manner, even though this vile, horrendous man has only just recovered from his illness there is no good to be found in his heart, neither is there in his mouth.

For behind his shining teeth and smile hides a terrible truth, a forked tongue, the words he speaks akin to that of venomous poison that might end up taking your life, as it did to my son.

My father had ordered the assassination of my son, Aleksandr Staunton, a poor child of the age of six in cold-blood, showing no regret after my noble son died. Percival has forgotten the courlandic values that made us a great nation in the past and decided to instead betray me and the councilors of our Realm, resulting in internal conflicts within our lands.

Then, in a court my father said that despite how clear the succession line of our Kingdom is and the fact that I am his eldest son, he was removing my position of Crown Prince of the Kingdom and arbitrarily appointing a younger sister that I didn’t even know that I had as the Crown Princess. Apparently, they were both conspiring against me and against the rest of the councilors to push us all out of power in order to destroy our Kingdom. 

 

With his acts, Percival has committed kinslaying in the eyes of GOD and has made himself unable and unfit to rule. He’s betrayed me, my councilors and all the existing courlandic values and traditions. Our Realm needs rulers who bring stability and prosperity to our people, the courlanders, not anarchy and chaos as Percival’s reign has brought. Therefore, the following has been decreed:

TO OUR BELOVED SUBJECTS,

 

By my right of birth and the sovereignty of the Crown of Courland, and with the agreement of the Royal Privy Council, I have declared that the reign of Percival is over, effective immediately. Due to the absence of a monarch, it has justly been decided that the Crown Prince, Tobias Staunton, be made Crown Prince-Regent for the duration of this regency until the Holy Mother Church issues a coronation ceremony. The Crown Prince-Regent shall be the leading authority in all matters of state, maintaining the authority and integrity of the Courlandic Crown and executing GOD’s eternal and sovereign will.
 

Ave Courland.

With Knowledge Comes Power,

 

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS, Tobias of the House of Staunton, Crown Prince-Regent of the Kingdom of Courland.

 

[Treaty 1353]

“Ave Courland. The image created many realms ago alongside my family and many own shall not fade today” Gilian Mauntel would say 

[Axelu 4333]

“A titular regent! How utterly endearing,” coos the elderly Dowager Princess Vitus of Man, Maria, from a nondescript location, flanked by weary maid servants

[TheHeftyDonut 706]

Catherine Marie Staunton would read upon the notice with a slight sigh. “Let my son rest in peace” she’d sign the Lorraine Cross over herself with a small frown upon her face before going to say something in a rather harsh tone a couple moments after. “That kin-slayer will dwell in the void forever.” she’d nod sternly going to once more then sign the Lorraine Cross over her chest as she goes to set the letter aside on her desk as she then goes to prepare for her slumber.

[Glocky18 545]

Michael wide opens his eyes upon reading the letter, rubbing them a few moments later and shakes his head, “I can’t believe this... we must stand true to Tobias!”

[K 12]

“May long he reign! Ave Courland!” Ernest shouts upon reading the paper he was handed.

[ReveredOwl 5639]

"I wasnt aware Courland bad a King in the first place, one was never coronated." Said Boniface.

[garentoft 9265]

Percival, in his demented state, had largely forgotten the events of the past night. However, he writes in response:

 

”To my incompetent and impotent son, Tobias, who is more the son of Iblees than the son of myself:

 

I am glad to hear that you have finally gotten your thumb out of your mouth. I was scared that you would have the mental state of a toddler for your entire life, but it does occur that you have become capable of writing.

You may declare yourself Crown Prince, Regent, or whatever you like. You can rule over nothing as much as you want, but you are no son of mine. I hereby proclaim that you, and all of your children, are no longer members of the House of Staunton. I know that you and your feeble mind will not be able to comprehend such, alas that is my own fault for never having you educated besides walking.

Whatever the future fate of us is, Tobias, I will laugh as I watch your feeble attempt at restoring a Kingdom from a long-gone era fail.

See you on the battlefield, if you would be so brave as to show up to it.”

[JokerLow 1317]

Fat Bastard would’ve been armed with armor and weapons of Courland, payed to fight for the Prince of Courland. He’d guard the city while hearing the news, whispering to himself “What should I eat today?”

[D3F4LT 1026]

ave courland!

[MunaZaldrizoti 8037]

Josephine Beauclair laughs heartily, watching the Skygods drag the faux Prince-Regent off to his cell from a tower within the Selsmire Palace.

[Kursion 463]

The lost Tobias Merentel approves this

[Nathan_Barnett36 1564]

“Through the cracks come the rats” says Siegmund Corbish

[Guest]

“Lat family is a joke.” Says Kwikfinga’Raguk, the bastard, unrecognised son of Leydluk’Raguk and some half-orc wench. He tossed the missive into one of the gutters of Krugmar and went back to cutting people’s purses.
