To the People of Norland,

Upon the request for a Kingsmoot, representatives from each of the three Rurikkid Clans met alongside with the lords of Norland’s vassals to discuss and elect a new Monarch to sit upon the throne of Norland. The place of gathering, deep within the mountains of Norland, was full of activity on this day. Citizens rushed to make the settlement easier to defend whilst the Moot took place, and kept its location an absolute secret to the outside world and even their own people. Then, the Rurikkid loyal to Norland met and began their nominations.

 

The following Rurics were nominated or nominated themselves:

 

• Casimira Edvardsson Ruric

• Ragnvald Eiriksson Ruric

• Torstein Eiriksson Ruric

 

With no other nominations, the process of the Kingsmoot began. Each nominee plead their case to the representatives present, and the representatives had the opportunity to ask all three candidates questions regarding their plans for their reign. After questions were answered and speeches concluded, the Vote began. To protect the privacy of the electors, the vote was kept anonymous and was later counted up once the vote was collected. 

 

The King’s Council, upon the tallying of the vote, hereby declares that Ragnvald Eiriksson Ruric has been elected as Norland’s new legitimate ruler by right of Kingsmoot. The Coronation of the new Monarch shall be announced at a later date in order to make the necessary preparations in the meantime.

 

Signed,

The King’s Council
