‘As vassals of the Royal crown of Hanseti-Ruska, we are tasked with being virtuous, honorable, racially pure, devout to the Canonist Church, and loyal to his liege and crown. The true noble aims to amass prestige, not power. To make a name for one’s noble house as a truly noble one is to glorify one’s ancestors and arrange a future for one’s issue. The honorable lord or lady, or those of their kin, should endeavor to embody the following tenets of nobility:

• Proper etiquette in the home and in the public setting.
• Serving promptly and amply the just needs of their liege and Crown.
• Acting always in a manner befitting of one’s noble status; {Duke, Margrave, Count, Baron}
• Just and kindly treatment of one’s vassals, noble or ignoble.
• Just and kindly treatment of all which one meets, noble or ignoble.
• Diplomatic attitude towards one’s peers and neighbors, friend and foe alike. 
• Knowledge of happenings within the Kingdom, present and past.
• Devout and worshipful observance of the Creator and his Cannonist Church.
• Honesty and oath-worthiness in all instances.
• Good management of one’s estate and demesne, physical and moral.
• A hunger for power, but instead for honor.

To make a name for one’s noble house as a dwelling of sin is to dishonor one’s family. To besmirch one’s family name is a personal dishonor second to none in a noble’s life. The honorable lord or lady, or the kin of those.’

Upon the day of 10th of Vzmey and Hyff, 345 E.S, Lord Viktor met with Haeseni Margrave; Lord Fiske Vanir. During the meeting, Lord Viktor expressed his desire to form a proper union amongst their houses by way of marriage.

 

As a result of the lord's wish, they agreed on the arrangements of a marriage to the Marquessate house of Kortrevich.

 

It was decided that the heir to House Kortrevich, Lord Rickard Otto Kortrevich would marry Lady Erika Lorena Vanir. Soon thereafter, preparations began to schedule the Karovian ceremony. 

 

Let this union shown by these two Haeseni vassals display an unwavering volume of unity as our country rejoices in newfound prosperity as an Independent domain.

 

((The ceremony would be scheduled to take place on November 7th @ 6PM EST at the Basilica of the Fifty Virgins, Haense))
