The Beginning of a New Era

 

“Duty, faith and union.”

1807, 357 ES

A couple Saint’s days ago, a meeting was held between Sutican officials and our group of Hyspians, Santegians and Akritians, where we presented ourselves to them. We initially presented them a document, handing a copy to everyone present, awaiting further questions regarding any of the topics within. After a thoughtful debate, it has been put up to a vote to decide whether we may be granted a place to live on, or not. To our surprise, everyone seemed to be supportive, voting favorably for us to get our desired settlement. With this in mind then, we have decided to publicly announce that a settlement under Sutica of three united ethnicities, Hyspian, Santegian and Akritian shall come into existence, and we wish to let everyone know of us. If any Akritian, Hyspian or Santegian out there reads this, then we ask you to take note and join your brethren in this grand union. 

 

We also wish to thank the Trade Monarch and the Sutican Council for considering us, and eventually accepting us. We promise to remain loyal and responsible for our obligations towards the Free Trade State. This is also proven with the grand opening of our newest operation, the Cartagena Trading Company, making our goods available to every individual within Sutica!

 

TRH, Theophilos Komnenos-Arianites

Trade Baron of Cartagena

HE, Francisco Cardinalis Sutica

Treasurer of Cartagena

HE, Dionisius Dracontas

Master of Justice of Cartagena

Ursula Vasović turned to her husband who was just finishing dealing with a customer, her face half darkened by shadow and the light of the campfire. The smile on her face, though, was unmistakable. Dragomir moved to her, offering her a hand to rise from the log she sat on, and she handed him the missive she had snatched off a wall when they were in Sutica. "What does it say, my darling Žena?" he whispered into her ear.

 

She chuckled and took the last sip of her rakija before giving him a kiss. "It says we have a new stop to add to the caravan's route. The Exalted Sigismund will bless this new venture. New customers, new patrons, new opportunities. Tell the other Vasoyevi. Tonight, we drink and pray. Tomorrow, we ride."

 

His smile matched hers. "To Cartagena?"

 

"Not just, my love. But also to fortune, and to glory."

"I look forward to hearing all bou'cher secrets." A familiar dwed mused, resting back in his chair.

"Glorious!" The aging Cardinal Francisco would shout from his office window.

"Zeto e Kartahena" Dionisius would say with a smile on his fat, wide, yet cute face.
