Brawms 741 Share Posted March 27, 2022 (edited) A Ruriksmoot A depiction of the now king, Vangel Freysson , upon his noble steed entering the great-hall of Norland Spoiler A missive is spread across the human kingdoms of Almaris, especially strung across the walls of every home and hut in Alisgrad. It states the proclamation of the new rurikid king. Hark, good norlanders! The tale began as with all auspicious events, without warning! A messenger brought himself to Arichsdorf, proclaiming in the town’s square that a king’s moot is to be held in but only a day! Manfred lord of Arichsdorf was at the time entertaining Vangel, a young scion of the Freysson clan. Upon hearing the messenger’s words Manfred in haste began to ring the town’s bell, calling upon the Arichsdorf levy. Manfred along with Vangel would begin to fasten their armours, and mount their steeds. Vangel would begin to blow his own horn olifant, the loud noise echoing throughout Arichsdorf, his noble retinue loyal to the rurikid line would be quick to rally. Now upon their mounted steeds Manfred’s levee and Vangel’s warband would ride out upon saddled steeds towards Varhelm! They rode without rest to the north, rallying those loyal to the rurikid line as they went, their numbers doubling, even tripling as noble northmen rallied to their call. The rurikid rally would storm up to Alisgrad, finding the city's gates open to them as if the townspeople knew once more an honorable king had come to sit upon the throne. They made their way to the Great Hall throwing open the doors to a scene of Norlandic councilors, many of the rurikid rally would call out the notably empty throne. Halstein Eirikson, Chief of Eirik would rise out of his seat demanding to know who the unexpected visitors were. Theoderic Edvardson, a member of the party, would step forward calling out his name, followed by his brother Caedric, then Manfred Edvardson and Vangel Freysson, each of the rurikid rally calling their name and clan. Manfred quickly took command of the room, demanding a vote be immediately held to elect an Edvard Chieftain. He’d state the cowardly retreat of the other Edvards upon his arrival in such an event would justify such. Halstein rose up, he argued that there was no way for him to know whether or not Manfred was a legitimate Ruric or even an Edvard. The crowd roared, arguing back against Halstein that the facial features of both men were identical, in no way could they not be related. Halstein soon seceded recognizing the vote and Manfred’s legitimacy. Caedric and Theodric spoke up, stating they did not wish for the title, thus Manfred was titled Edvard Chieftain with none to oppose. Vangel would rise up next, asking what all of the rurikid rally had thought: where was the supposed King of Norland? Halstein sidestepped the question saying he was just away despite the fact he hadn’t ruled for nearly four years. Unsurprisingly none had known the King's whereabouts! With the matters of Eirik Chief to be postponed, and the Edvardson feud settled, Manfred rose up again and proclaimed his right for a moot. The crowd roared once more, another arduous argument took place on how the moot shall take place. All men argued to follow tradition, however each citing a different era. Some cited the moot that had followed the abdication of Javier, in which all Norlandic citizens were allowed to vote. Others referenced the Dunharrow-moot, in which only the chieftains of Ruric blood could vote. Eventually the feast hall settled, the Dunharrow-moot would be followed, with Vangel being its most outspoken advocate. To the surprise of all, the king who had left his throne for four years, Vane had entered the hall. Finally, he once more sought to take back rule after abandoning the kingdom to his regent. He decided at the nadir of his power to show himself, meekly walking past the hall of Norlanders he would be seen sneaking unto his throne. Halstein informed him of the events that had unfolded, to which the King would immediately denounce Manfred, claiming him to be the son of a pretender Ruric. And Manfred himself a pretender, and false-claimant to the throne and Edvardson chieftain. He proceeded to deny his right to the moot, and accuse him of treason against the crown. The Edvardson chieftain and the returning king had come to an impasse. The king did not halt in his insults towards Manfred who proceeded to draw his sword, the rurikid rally following his lead. Halstein pleaded for them to stop, for blood to not be spilled amongst the kinsmen; however it seemed both sides had their weapons readied, and the ignorant king would not recognize the only willing Edvardson at the hall as the chieftain. Manfred states his rights are violated, as the king has violated ancient norlandic law as Manfred a man of rurikid blood had the right to a moot as any other. Manfred would go on to state that not once in all of Norlandic history had a moot been denied! The king would not budge, in his ignorance he would violate the laws of his ancestors and desecrate the honored right to a moot. The rurikid rally, realizing their words would not touch the king who hath slept for four continuous years, sprung to action and battle soon ensued. As if the all-father had favored it, the rurikid rally defeated their enemies in ease. The men soon went and bound each of those who opposed them in rope. Manfred, arising victorious, disregarded the king’s vicious desecration of norlandic tradition, he’d continue the moot however, stripping king Vane of his vote on account of such violations of norlandic law. A depiction of the rurikid rally defeating those loyal to the deposed king Vane Manfred would soon ask, who will take the mantle of Freysson? Vangel would step forward, Manfred would support his claim with none to oppose him becoming Freysson chieftain. Vangel would proceed to continue with the moot from earlier, with once more none to oppose him, he would claim to be king. Manfred would support his claim, and Halstein would abstain. Thus the vote would be finished, a new king was chosen, Vangel Freysson the newly crowned King of Norland. Manfred would turn to look around the hall, he’d ask for the Lady of The Grail to take the thorned crown from the deposed king Vane. Halstein would rise up stating a Eiriksson keeper should coronate the new king Vangel. The keeper, Elennore, would go to retrieve the thorned crown before coronating Vangel, declaring he was now the High Chieftain of Rurikid and King of Norland. A depiction of the noble rurikd rally, kneeling before the crowned king, Vangel Freysson, as he was crowned. Long live the King! Long live Vangel Freysson! His Majesty Vangel Freysson, High Chieftain of the Rurikid, King of the Norland, Protector of Highlanders, Chieftain of the Freysson Edited March 27, 2022 by SomeoneTookMyName 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narthok 9213 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Manfred would nod his head as the combined Rurics had chosen a new High Chieftain of the Rurikid, it had been so long since the sons of the Prophet had been reconciled. Countless years spent in exile, countless bloody civil wars and schemes. To be a Ruric was in most cases to suffer, yet with suffering one was left with two paths; to be hardened by the crucible of life, or to fold and break under the strain. Perhaps the depravity of his homeland could perhaps be saved by Vangel, only time would tell. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MapleSunflower 1049 Share Posted March 27, 2022 A tingling sensation bugged a certain Doctor's nose as she sat in court. A missive had been passed around to those attending to read - and she did - but she really didn't care much. With time running out, she had to find something to catch the explosion drawing near! Taking the missive, she brought it to her nose, releasing a gross, booger-filled sneeze. She wiped her nose with the parchment before throwing it away with a relieved sigh. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
