louislxix 3066 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2021 Spoiler THE DUCAL UNION PREFACE Hence to the unionisers coming together within the Attendlund Union. The powers of the North and Northeastern realm of Hanseti-Ruska see fit to build further from the Union of the Attenlund. So instead of manufacturing an entirely new Union, the Ducal House of Baruch and the Ducal House of Ruthern shall work with the Western Attenlund Union members to consolidate their own Union alongside the Ducal Union. Many faults over the decades have been witnessed, alongside the fall of a nobleman’s name and power against the centralization of both the king, his government and commoners. It can be tricky as to balance the power between his liege and his peers, but as it stands, arbitrary rules preside and the balance is none. The laws of the land have been ultimately arbitrarily enforced from one peer’s lands to the next. The noble has a prerogative and it must be restored. Some have exceeded the prerogatives which has ultimately gone unnoticed due to the lack of communication between His Majesty and his peers. This also stands to peers between peers as well. This Union aims to drive communication between peers and the crown, while also bringing to light that the state of nobility is simply in decay. Nobility brings a holding and a title which means little from Duke to Baron. Similarly do Barbanovs rule as right of blood, so do the nobles rule as right to blood. A depiction of the Northeastern lands of Hanseti-Ruska, between the Duchy of Vidaus and Duchy of Valwyck. Article I. DEFINITION OF SIGNATORIES Those most esteemed and worthy houses, thereafter named the signatories are comprised of the following houses; The Ducal House of Baruch The Ducal House of Ruthern The Comital House of Kortrevich The Viscountal House of Amador The Baronial House of Mondblume Article II. ON AFFAIRS The signatories of this union do agree to mutually assist and cooperate as a unified group in the ultimate goal of bettering and enhancing the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska on its affairs and their own. I. THAT the foremost affair to be dealt with is the retaking of the Duchy of Valwyck. From where all of the signatories and their houses will together in cohesion combat the Nachezer scourge from the Duchy settlement. II. THAT even during the stagnation of the troll affair and threat, the Union’s members combine their efforts to stockpile food for themselves and to the Kingdom itself. III. THAT the houses regarding affairs pertaining to Hanseti-Ruska will meet in person to discuss these matters, to vote on matters and to act according to the Union’s interests. IV. THAT the houses will unify to always protect and maintain affairs regarding their liberty and noble jurisdiction as a first priority. V. THAT including houses within our own union and outside of the union, that peers are encouraged to not grow stagnant or become reserved from the rest of their peered society. While also encouraging that if the stagnancy and their pertaining lord has no clear motivation to remedy such, that as a principle, they should not be entitled to their nobility at all. VI. THAT proper structure be brought about to nobility, for as it stands there is next to none and all answer to their liege, being the King. When it has been seen that vassals who fall under another vassal liege lord see better success, relations and less collapse. The higher houses of the realm should support those vassals below them, educating them, allowing concord between vassals rather than concord between the King. Where much weighs upon the King, lower vassals of peered ilk and likemind can seek aid from their vassal liege lords instead. VII. THAT without further disclosure, the members of the Ducal Union pertaining to all affairs and matters work together instead of against each other. For as previously stated; the betterment of the realm and their own realms. Article III. ON PRINCIPLES AND MEMBERSHIP The signatories do agree to the following principles and membership; and do furthermore agree that to break such is to name themselves oathbreakers without honor. I. THE Crown of Hanseti-Ruska does lie with the House of Barbanov, as crowned by divine right. II. THE signatories of the union shall receive one vote upon decisions despite their differing ranks of peerage in the pursuit of cooperation and good will. III. NEW members of the union may join onto the union with a unanimous vote of the founding signatories. IV. THAT, like the Attenlund Union’s members, Canonist morals and principles are upheld and spread throughout their union and other areas of domain and influence. Article IV. ON DURATION I. THAT the Union shall meet to discuss further duration every five years. This includes continuing the Union or concluding the Union. Allowing others to join or discontinue their participation and membership of the Union. IV JOVEO MAAN, IV JOVEO EHR, 382 E.S.

A graying Albrecht remarked as he read the document. Rickard Bobby remembers House Barclay being fed quite a lot... Regardless, he bows in head in prayer as His Majesty's hand feeds him. "Dear Lord Baby Horen, we thank you so much for this bountiful harvest of Papej Jans, Vidaus Fried Chicken, and the always delicious Hyspian Tacos. I just want to take the time to say thank you for my family: my two beautiful, handsome, striking sons, Walker and Valwyck Ranger, or VR as we call him. And, of course, my red hot smokin' wife Carely, who is a stone cold fox, who if you would rate her ass on 100, it would easily be a 94. I also want to thank you for my best friend and teammate, Kal Jr, who's got my back no matter what...Dear Lord Baby Horen, we also thank you for my wife's father Chip. We hope that you can use your Baby Horen powers to heal him and his horrible leg. It smells terrible and the dogs are always botherin' with it." 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javert 5573 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Henry Bishop reads the missive from his home within the Duchy of Reinmar, unsure of what to think of the missive. "Knowing how vassal politics play out, Ich am certain there ist going to be some tensions that are caused because of this. Nicht sure between who exactly, but Ich am sure it ist coming." 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickard Bobby cried, as he reminisced Duke Reinmar's sudden elation to Treasurer, the failed 2-year Barclay administration, and a century of consecutive Barclay marshals. Duke Reinmar remembers single handedly handling the royal treasury for a good few years before becoming Royal Treasurer. He'd also recall how he was the only one willing to do such at the time as well. He'd then shrug after reading the missive to go back to his work. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erich Erwin Barclay can count a good 40 Silvern Krawns in stock and about twice that in Golds, thus seeing now reason to restock the lower-value Krawns. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
