Va birodeo Herzenav e Edlervik,

 

In Haeseni tradition, it is customary for ascending Palatines to write a report outlining their hopes and plans for their tenure, in order to keep the public well-informed on the workings of their governmental representatives. My  tenure will be no different. Succeeding this paragraph will be my current plans for the Kingdom, alongside a brief description on how I intend on achieving them.

Upkeep of Events Throughout the Kingdom

A bustling Haense is a healthy Haense. Keeping the populace fed, safe, and entertained is one of the primary functions of our government. With the recent success of the Reznian Games and Valwyck Relic Ball, we are already on the right track. I plan on working alongside my wife — Grand Lady Sofiya — and the Maer to ensure their continued success, contributing the resources they need to continue hosting such events.

Assisting the Haeseni Settlers in the Wickwald

Now that the ravenous Rubern War is on the decline, and with the joint Haeseni-Helenian acquisition of the Wickwald and settling of multiple houses, the office of the Palatine does intend on assisting new Haeseni settlers with construction. Houses who are to be landed in the Wickwald Woods and have not yet constructed their holdings can contact the Lord Palatine for assistance, including help gathering materials and manpower to build. Note this is not an invitation for work to be done for a house, but with them.

Academic Cooperation With Haelun’or

Following the conclusion of the great Reznian Games, the Silver State of Haelun’or expressed gratitude towards our most august Dual-Monarchy, inviting the Royal House of Barbanov to visit the Sohaer. This is occurring shortly after friendly practice skirmishes took place between each nation, a greater bond coming of it. The Silver State has also offered to share it’s knowledge within our own Academy, something I hope to foster and invite into our walls.

Eliminating the Bandit Threat

In recent years, the roads between the Rubern Bridge and Hangman’s Bridge have become notorious for dangerous bandit attacks. In order to combat this, I intend on working alongside Lord Marshal Erwin Barclay to ensure our newly dubbed Haense Royal Army is well equipped to repel these attacks.

The Lendian Issue

It pleases the Office of the Lord Palatine to announce the decline of the recently declared Lendian Heresy from the Kingdom, confirmed by the dogmatic teachings of the Canonist Church. Theology will be continued to be taught with the sponsorship of Bishops Anton and Benedict.

Friends and denizens of the realm, our future is bright. His Majesty Sigismund II and the Office of the Lord Palatine do wait with great excitement for the coming years. The Office does also congratulate newly elected Maer of New Reza Tatyana vas Ruthern, and newly risen Knight Paramount Ser Robin Kartyr.

 

GODAN HAS SURELY BLESSED HANSETI-RUSKA 

 

Signed, 

HIS EXCELLENCY, Lord Petyr Siegmund Baruch, Lord Palatine of the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska, Duke of Valwyck, Count of Ayr, Baron of Laval, Riveryn, and Voron, and Guardian of the Haeseni Coast

Angelika read through the address with a nod of approval. ”Perhaps he is not as incompetant as I thought him to be. I suppose we must wait and see if he will live up to these goals.”
