Frymark 2791 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2022 LETTERS FROM THE DUCHY OF REINMAR Issued by the DUCHY OF REINMAR On this 15th day of Wzuvar ag Byvca of 428 ES AN ALLE REICHE UND VÖLKER DIESER WELT, With great pain, do we announce the death of His Princely Grace, Sir Johann Barclay, Duke of Reinmar and Prince of Sutica. His Princely Grace - After having left an official resignation from the position of Lord Marshal of Hanseti-Ruska and a missive of abdication from his role as The Duke of Reinmar and Patriarch of House Barclay - unfortunately was murdered on the way back to his home in Reinmar, by a group of unknown brigands. After 46 years of leading the Ducal House of Barclay, and another 32 as the Lord Marshal of Hanseti-Ruska, Johann Barclay is at last at peace. Spoiler So, that’s that then. It’s been a wild ride. On July 27th, I became the leader of the Barclay House & the Community of it, probably under the most stressful time possible. The entire House almost collapsed, but together we pulled through and managed to regain our status, strengthen the community and even go beyond what we had before. September - December of 2021 will always be the best time I had on the server, and I think back then it reflected really well on both my attitude and actions. Well, it isn't 2021 anymore It’s been a year actively leading one community, and close to 8 months leading another one - the BSK -. I dont think its too much to say, that the year is starting to take its toll on me, as would be expected. For the past few months, it’s been from one struggle to another - just some menial stuff, that back when I started I could’ve handled easily. Standing my ground on some argument I know is not right, or wanting to push something through I know is not proper. Idk why I did it, I knew I shouldn’t have but well, those who know what I mean know what I mean, and I’m sorry. I really am. Anyways, out of the doomery for a bit; I know I haven’t ever been the best to give out gratitude when its deserved, or say thanks to people, but Iv’e always been really, really grateful to all those who’ve showed up to my events, trainings, meetings, rallies - or helped out doing those, pulling out reforms, events, etc. My goal as a Community leader - for both Barclay and the BSK - has always been to try and make sure you, as a player, have fun, enjoy your time and feel like you’re welcomed. I think I succeeded for a while to a decree, but even if you had just a bit of fun, I'm happy for it. So uh, just going to say thank you, if you ever roleplayed with Johann / me, showed up to one of my silly things, hopped onto vc, helped with pulling some event or reforms or took up the job of doing something for me, thank you, seriously. I cant put to words how much I appreciate it. Especially to Conor, Kayla, Capt, Fionn, etc. and the BSK officer core and everybody else there, BSK is the best community I've ever had the chance to join, and I’ll forever be grateful I had the privilege at leading it, love you all. Maybe we’ll see eachother around, somewhere. Dm’s are always open yadayada, but no mineman stuff for a while, please. I think iv’e deserved my break. bye. 48 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaerie 3286 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Johanna Barclay was preparing for her wedding when she received the news. She'd be confused, and scared, and oh so sad. She had never asked for any of this, and while receiving the house, all she wanted was the family that was no longer part of it. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borin 5142 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Spoiler A well deserved break indeed. We were tough at times, and didnt make it easier for you, unfortunately. You've achieved a lot and worked very hard, done very well with the marshalship and getting the dukedom back. You deserve a long rest. We'll always be happy to vibe with you. Always. Have a good rest. o7 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fionn__TWG 2605 Share Posted June 4, 2022 As usual, Konstanz Barclay was sat near the entrance to the Seven Skies, head lowered as if on the verge of falling asleep. Though as he spotted his father approaching, his eyes quickly darted open once more, and he'd abandon the sword which lay next to him as he ran to the former Duke, tightly hugging the first family to join him and their ancestors. Spoiler o7, I know we had our differences from time to time but you did a great job in your time. Best of luck with all that's to come and don't be a stranger. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
