APPOINTMENT, TRANSITION, AND CONFLICT WITH THE DWARVES

 

AT THE COMMAND OF HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY…

We make the following announcements at the command of His Imperial Majesty.

The Crown makes the following appointments and declarations.

 

Olivier Renault, the Prince Emeritus of Savoy, as the Vice-Chancellor.

Minuvas Melphaestus, to remain as the Archchancellor.

The Emperor has commanded, “That Our Chancellery consider the word of God and the continued fostering of brotherhood between the people of Savoy and Oren in all their projects and the administration of Our Government, as We entrust them to act on Our behalf.”

 

ON CROWNLAND-SAVOY RELATIONS

As Archchancellor, I am directing our newly appointed Vice-Chancellor, His Imperial Excellency Olivier Renault, to serve as the principal agent towards finalizing a formal agreement of the relationship between Savoy and the central Crownland government of Oren.

The great Council of State, is directed to support the Vice-Chancellor in coordinating with the Prince of Savoy and his council in order to advise the Prince of Savoy and His Imperial Excellency on an agreeable instrument of treaty between our people.The Vice-Chancellor is further entrusted to ensure that the people of Savoy are represented on the great Council of State, and those agencies within the Government of Oren to ensure that their interests are represented to His Imperial Majesty. He is fully vested and capable of making these appointments as appropriate without further approval.

ON MILITARY AFFAIRS

Further, I make the following announcement in regards to military affairs.

General Erik Var Ruthern is to be elevated to the ad-hoc position of “Field Marshal of the Empire” and shall work with and coordinate all military forces, allied, mercenary, and the ISA until such time as hostilities with the Dwarves have ceased. Upon conclusion of hostilities, he shall return to his peacetime rank of General of the ISA. It is our Government’s request that the senior military officer of Savoy, with the consent of their Prince, begin coordinating directly with Field Marshal Ruthern so that we may inflict maximum harm to our enemies, and maximum security within our homelands.

 

 Field Marshal Ruthern has led our military to victory in numerous operations through his multiple decades of service, and he is trusted to  coordinate and conduct  operations to success with our allies. 

 

May GOD save us

The EMPEROR protect us

His Imperial Excellency
The Archchancellor Minuvas Melphestaus

Gunter Barclay tapped his finger on a section of the missive. "I do hope that the Prince of Savoy will remember that the government of Oren is still excommunicated and he shouldn't be treating with them, especially given his own has just been lifted."

[Nolan_ 4219]

"They keep an Arch-Chancellor who has admitted his guilt in causing a failed schism and leading the Emperor, if one who is excommunicated can even still be Emperor of the Holy Orenian Empire, against the rightful and true vicar of God? I would say that's as good a ground as any to remove him from such a privileged position." Rhys var Ruthern remarks as the missive comes across his desk, making haste thereafter to find the Cardinal Jorenus @LightTheTrainerand see what a clergyman has to say on the matter.
