[Mirtok 2853]

The DeNurem Ministry
 

1838

 

In accordance with the Edict of Pompourelia, 1787, and under the original precedent set by the Edict of Establishment, 1732. It is the legal right and obligatory duty of His Imperial Majesty’s chosen Archchancellor to formally select appointees to his Government as Ministers, Secretaries, Chiefs, and Directors of the Crown; pending respective affirmation of by the Diet. It is his furthermore his duty to act as the personal right-hand to the Monarch. The current administration has thus been raised with the dissolution and retirement of the d’Azor Ministry and the stalwart Sir Ledicort d’Azor; succeeding is his own Vice-Chancellor: The Honourable Drasus DeNurem, 1838. His is the seventh Ministry to succeed from the Reestablishment of the Empire in 1725.

BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARCHCHANCELLOR

 

First born son of the late Sir Alaric DeNurem KL- a prominent Captain of the Imperial State Army's Fourth Brigade- and grandson to Sir Alren DeNurem GCL- the Count of Mordskov and Generalissimo of the 18th century. Drasus DeNurem was raised among martial legends that had helped shape the fabric of the Empire for much of the 1700s. He received a formal education through the Imperial State Army Youth Academy, a subset of the Imperial State Army Combat Academy that offers world class development for the Empire's soldiers. Throughout his youth, he had a particular affinity for engineering, architecture, and discovery. At the turn of the century, as the Empire found itself in new lands, Drasus committed himself towards constructing public infrastructure projects. These achievements prompted his appointment as Secretary of the Home Office in 1806 under the Sarkozy Ministry.

 

After nearly 10 years in the Home Office, Drasus resigned the Secretary position in 1815, in order to pursue a period of self development and to manage the family estate for his aging grandfather. He began to study the intricacies of statecraft and the inner workings of the Imperial government, all under the tutelage and mentorship of Ledicort d’Azor who had recently been made the Archchancellor. In addition to these studies, he began to explore the complexities of alchemy and the many scientific benefits it could bring to the world.

 

Finally, in the year 1830, the Archchancellor Ledicort d’Azor appointed Drasus as his Vicechancellor after the several year disappearance of Keaghan Armas. Immediately, he took to rooting out any inadequacies he could find within the Imperial Government, working especially close with the Home Office to ensure further Imperial expansions into public infrastructure and development. Upon the death of the esteemed Emperor John VIII, the retirement of Sir Ledicort d’Azor, and the ascension of Emperor Philip II, Drasus DeNurem was appointed Archchancellor of the Holy Oren Empire.

 

Drasus aims to style himself after the effective governance brought on by the Basrid Ministry, having been raised on the same principles all his life- told to him by his grandfather who served under said ministry. He brings with him a stern, no nonsense mindset, seeking to reduce institutional bottlenecks and empower greater representation and support across the Empire.

[MCVDK 2843]

Lord Matyas Basrid quietly wondered on the reason that no Home Secretary was appointed when the extremely competent Lord Otis de Rosius was free and in the Ministry already.

[MunaZaldrizoti 8037]

Charlotte Augusta was eager to see the successes of the DeNurem Ministry, and to see how she might learn the ways of statecraft from each of them. GOD knew, she needed all the aid she could get, for what was to come.

Philip received the letter in his estate and within moments smile appeared on his face, the man took his infant firstborn daughter and proceeded to carry her around the gardens at Provins, wondering about the future that is to follow. @clonky
