Va Birodeo Herzenav e Edlervik–

 

Rejoice! Rejoice, Subjects of Haense, for as the Monarch reaches the age of majority, so too does he take upon himself the regal responsibilities, taking us to prosperity. As with every Haeseni Monarch taking upon themselves their royal mantle, the Enthronement Ceremony must commence - in a solemn display, the Sovereign is irrevocably bound to his Kingdom, and the Kingdom to him. Thus initiating the Haeseni Coronation, a tradition dating centuries, to the age of Saint Joren, to the Exalted Prophet, Sigismund, from which the Sovereign is to be anointed by the Holy Father, the Pontiff, in the sight of GOD, and the people. 

 

It is also on this day that we commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of the Rothswood, a monumental conflict in our history from which we saw the restoration of the Kingdom of Haense, liberated from its conquerors and oppressors. 

 

Near the end of the coronation, in its fourth quarter, the first Barovifest of Sigismund’s reign is to commence, in celebration of his enthronement. Thus, all festivities of the traditional event shall be hosted by the Royal Court of Hanseti-Ruska and begin directly after the conclusion of His Majesty’s coronation.

 

By Royal Decree, the King has taken his baptismal name, Sigismund, to be his primary styling, now henceforth recognized as His Royal Majesty, the King of Hanseti and Ruska, Sigismund the Second. A name derived from the Exalted Prophet, Holy Orenian Emperor, and Barbovic ancestor, Sigmund ‘Soothsayer’ Carrion. 

 

As the Crown of Saint Francis the Martyr is placed upon Sigismund’s head, he is declared the Kingdom’s 16th Monarch, and the Biharist lineage’s 6th King.

“Ah... And so the day has finally come!” The late King Andrik IV remarks from the Seven Skies, grinning from ear to ear as he watches his eldest son prepare for his coronation day.

 

“‘Sigismund II’... One has to admit, that name has quite a ring to it! A strong and fitting name for a King of Haense. You’ll do well, son; I know you will.”

 

===================================================================

 

Sir Konrad Stafyr KM continues to iron out his favorite dress shirt, the aging senator excitedly preparing for the coronation festivities!

[Axelu 4333]

Princess Tatiana Lorina, traversing the foliage-laden roads between the estate of her husband’s family, Selm, and her beloved and native Reza, beams as the news that her cousin Sigismund II, the late King Andrew’s successor,  was – at last – to be coronated and cemented as King of Hanseti and Ruska. At this time, she thought of her newly born daughter, the Lady Eleanor Victoria d’Arkent, her dear friend Queen Maya, and the celebrating Barbanov household. 

 

“A better time is among us – one of advancement, and prosperity, but most certainly jubilation!” 

[MunaZaldrizoti 8037]

Maryia Ludovar would receive her invitation with a small and humbled smile, planning to attend alongside her family and her guardian, Queen Maya.

[argonian 14254]

“Three cheers for His Majesty’s majority. Hip-hip HURAAAAAAAAY!” Conrad cheers. 

[Zaerie 3747]

Viktoria Sofiya Ruthern smiles as she reads the post, looking to prepare a dress to wear to the rare and extravagant event. She would cheer for the announcement as the regency of Haense was nearly over, and be hopeful for a new golden age of Haense under a new King!

[Eryane 3698]

Maya Barbanov beamed with pride as soon as she saw the missives regarding the coronation of her son released to the public eye. Soon after she watched over the numerous couriers leave the palace in their endeavors, she returned to the confines of the royal quarters to prepare the rest of her children –Analiesa, Alexandria, Amelya, and Nikolas– for the coronation that was to come.

After speaking to the Governor-General of Curon, Frederick Devereux, looked over the invitation with a smile. He would immediately begin to prepare for this grand occasion! 

[Emenzi 1069]

Andrik III chuckles in the afterlife ”The lil ***** is about to get his ******* nipple pierced.. Good on em’” he’d then go and pass out somewhere

[Totalitarianism_ 593]

“One can only hope the young Koeng lives up to his namesake.” States Waldemar Sarkozic.

[GhostSHTR 1205]

“I’m glad to have the opportunity to have arrived in time for the coronation” Stefan Ludorvyk grins upon getting the news
