DISSOLUTION OF THE HOUSE O’HARA

9th of Horen’s Calling, 1760

It is with great sadness that I write this document. In my short reign as Crown Princess-Consort and future Queen of the Kingdom of Courland I would like to make an announcement to all the people of Arcas:

 

For too long my former family has caused problems throughout all the different nations of Arcas. Treason, betrayals and other treacherous attitudes have characterized the conduct of the O’Haras through many different generations. The O’Hara name is stained with too many mistakes and errors committed in the past. 

 

Therefore, I, Catherine Marie, Matriarch of the House O’Hara hereby dissolve the House O’Hara for good and strip from myself all titles and honors associated with that House. None shall from now on wear the cursed surname of “O’Hara” ever again. 

 

Finally, I would also like to write to the Vassals of Courland and to The Trade State of Sutica to say that whoever suddenly came to the conclusion of us being shades or harboring shades is totally false and wrong; any sort of dark magic is an ill state within the family of O’Hara. 

 

Having said that, I would like to come to some sort of agreement with the Fester family, about how we may be able to settle this affair. 

 

May GOD illuminate our path and bless us all!

 

Ave Staunton. Ave Courland.

As the Queen-Mother of Courland it is my duty to make sure our courts are safe from harm. Thus I have asked our government to send word to the church to ask if we could together test the members of the O’Hara family that resides in Courland. 

 

We have ourselves tested the Crown Princess-Consort and have found her to not be a shade, along with her sister Mary Anne. At this moment we await for the church to come and confirm this as well to ease the minds of our people. 

 

The lawyers and detectives are working on checking if the story that they have been accused of matches, for one mistake of a distant relative should not affect the rest. They are women, women should not be held responsible for what men choose to do. Just like men should not be responsible for what women choose to do. We are all our own persons, do not judge many from the actions of one. 

 

Though trust my word when I say that if they are all proven guilty they will be executed or banished. For dark magic is a sin to the canonist church, and we hold our faith close to our hearts and follow it as best as we can.

Her Royal Majesty, Queen Elissa of House Staunton, Queen-Mother of Courland

Mary Anne O’Hara would seem to receive the missive  via messenger dove; landing near her windowsill next to her desk in Oren. She would seem to rise slowly before making way to the bird and taking the missive to briefly read it over. After a few moments, her eyes would seem to squint as she furrowed her brows and pursed her lips; a look of slight anger upon her face. “How could this have happened...” Her tone of voice was gentle and soft as she dropped the letter and turned away, tears beginning to form and stream down her cheek.

Tobias would nod to his wife, approving her decision of dissolving the House O’Hara
