A Request

Tenth of Sun’s Smile, 1866

 

The Pinemaw Domain does not want to revolt against the Holy Orenian Empire, but we must do what we view as right. And with that we give the Holy Orenian Empire a request, accepting the request will make us lay down our arms, and continue following the ‘A Welcome Vassal’ Treaty to our fullest ability. 

We wish for the Pinemaw Domain to be recategorized not as an Ebonwood Vassal, but as an Orenian Vassal, following Orenian Law. That is our only request, and we will gladly state the reasoning behind such a request.

 

A Saint Day ago, the Ethereal Council of Ebonwood revoked my control on the Pinemaw Domain, with the reasoning being that I led a Raid against Vortice, which was at the time of the Raid a Protectorate of Urguan. We were granted additional permission by Minuvas himself to continue this, with the promise that no Religious Shrines would be harmed and no innocents would be injured or killed. And when Vortice left having the Protectorate Status under Urguan, we immediately ceased any attempt at Raiding them. No Shrines were damaged, and no Innocents were harmed in any way. 

 

Is it right to revoke someone’s right to land that they controlled legally because they attacked a place that their nation was at war with? And what is even more disturbing is the fact that Minuvas’ selected replacement to control the Pinemaw Domain is an elf named Axilya, who is an active citizen of The Vale of Nevaehlen, which Oren is at war with, and has active connections with Urguan itself!

 

The entire scenario leading up to this current moment is confusing and has several holes in it. I, Peralien Maelstorm, lead a raid against Vortice, which Oren was at war with by proxy, with additional permission from Minuvas under the condition that no Religious Shrines were damaged and no innocents were hurt. We followed these conditions as well. And after Vortice left the Protectorate Status of Urguan, therefore meaning we were no longer at war with them, I stopped any attempt at raiding them. And after this, I was immediately stripped of control of the Pinemaw Domain, without any previous notice or a trial. And my replacement is a citizen of a settlement Oren is at war with!

 

Therefore I will restate myself. Recategorize the Pinemaw Domain as an Orenian Vassal, not an Ebonwood one, freeing ourselves from the Ethereal Council which is ripe with nepotism, where the majority of the people in said Council are related to Minuvas himself. And allow us to follow Orenian law, not Ebonwood law, which is confusing and changing without any notice. If this request is allowed, we will be willing to relocate outside of Ebonwood-Controlled Arentania, if so is requested.

 

Peralien Maelstorm,

Gwaithor of the Pinemaw Domain under Ebonwood.

TL;DR, We want to be ruled under Orenian Law, not Ebonwood Law.

A Response

 

Who is the We? In my ventures to Pinemaw I found a quiet town; its clinic unstocked, its tavern ghost-like, the only chatter that of the river on your quiet shores. 

 

Your control of Pinemaw was revoked after yet another allegation of your attack on the Mali'ker center of culture, Talon's Port; after your threats upon Elvenesse Prince Heir Kosher Daesmon, witnessed within the town square of Ilandria; your status as a criminal in four nations and allegations that you have, in your years, committed two-hundred and sixty-three separate, known offenses. No, you were not provided notice or trial; the trial, I suspect, is yet to come, and I apologize for failing to provide you with rightful notice - though I stand by the decision thus made. I will also note your status was removed when a Vortice representative rode to my home in Nevaehlen - indeed, an opposing settlement - to inform me a shrine had been destroyed in your efforts against Talon's Port.

 

It is said your motives for joining the efforts against Vortice were, in part, to afford the tax placed upon you by the Ebonwood; I hope you are blessed with the fortune to afford both the dues you will be tasked with and the vassaldom you seek.

Axilya reads over the claim and request as soon as it reaches her, then calmly folds the paper and sets it within her satchel beside the others before she turns back to her current project, ideas for Pinemaw's next steps scribed down as endless possibilities and opportunities. Perhaps a fishing festival would be a good start for the town's future...

"Should probably have sent this BEFORE declaring war," muses Adelmar.

Lord Tarathiel would chuckle as he read along “oh the many things wrong here. You are no longer a Gwaithor of Ebonwood nor will Pinemaw ever become yours again after what you have done.”

". . . After declaring war on Oren? She wants to become a vassal? Even though she has no . . . Leverage?" Viktoriya muttered, shoving the paper toward her animal companion's face as though it could read. "I'm missing all of the interesting stuff! Damn, damn."

Sulieronn, on a copy he'd been able to get his hands on, scribbled out "Maelstorm." "They disowned you. Again."
