Edict Against Disloyalty

By the Authority and Will of the King of Norland

This Edict is Issued on, 12h of Sun’s Smile, Year 86 of the Second Age

 

---

 

The matters of loyalty and honour are of grave importance to His Royal Majesty, King Odin Freysson Ruric, as it is upon these values that all of Creation is judged. To swear an oath of loyalty to the King of Norland and to scheme behind the backs of Him and His council is to sully your Honour in Word and disgrace yourself and your peers. Moreso it is a greater dishonour to spread false information and lies in an effort to shamefully gull the steadfast and loyal of the Rænrlands.

 

The Oathbreaker Aurelion’s conspiracy of Cartref Mor, also referred to as the Ironguard Hold, are a folk who have attempted to mask their disloyalty through sly means, even going as far to try bringing loyal citizens of the realm into their attempts of conspiracy. Fortunately, their attempts have horrendously failed on their part and we are now able to see them for who they truly are: conniving backstabbers.

 

ARTICLE I. LORD AURELION MARSYR

It was the Oathbreaker Aurelion Marsyr, the son of the late-Honourable, Lord John Marsyr, who has shown the true colours of his leadership. With support of his own council inflaming his unending ambition, the Oathbreaker Aurelion violated the terms of the Bill of Sale signed in 67 S.A. by his late-father, and he furthermore sullied his own Honour in Word as he had sworn an Oath of Loyalty and recertified his father’s commitment to abide by the Bill of Sale; all in a vain effort to further his own pride and greed. Declaring himself with the false and unrecognized title of High King. He has made his ambitions clear that he intends to conquer the lands of our vassals and to eventually declare a war on the lands directly held by the King of Norland in a final act of treason.

 

Let all who read this know, these specific terms outlined in the Bill of Sale signed in 67 S.A.:

 

   II.    As landholders of the Kingdom of Norland, the new residents of Ironguard will be held to the obligations of the position, and will be afforded the privileges associated, including but not limited to:

-    The responsibility to enforce Norlandic law within their territory.

-    The responsibility to answer the call to Norland’s defense, should the need arise.

-    The right to raise a levy for the defense of the holding.

-    The right to govern the land as they see fit, provided they remain within the bounds of Norlandic law in so doing.

-    The right to request the garrison and protection of the Ashguard, should the need arise.

 

ARTICLE II. THE PEOPLE OF CARTREF MOR

Citizens of Cartref Mor, presuming that they had no direct part in supporting the Oathbreaker Aurelion’s ambitions, are still considered a people of respect and honour. It is not their fault that the one who leads their lands intends to drive them towards a destructive path of conflict. Unless suspected to be in violation of Norlandic Law by assisting the outlaw Aurelion Marsyr, loyal citizens of Cartref Mor SHALL NOT be harmed or prosecuted for their place of residence or loyalties prior to Aurelion’s Oathbreaking.

 

ARTICLE III. EVICTION

The Kingdom of Norland intends to reclaim Cartref Mor from its overambitious, honourless, and disloyal leadership, seeking to reinstate it back into the Crown’s held lands until a new replacement leadership, from within the people of Cartref Mor, can be suitably found to lead it. With this edict, the King of Norland declares His intentions to evict the Oathbreaker Aurelion and his conspirators from the lands of Cartref Mor. They are to be, if possible, put on trial for their crimes as well.

 

---

 

By the Authority and Will of His Royal Majesty, King Odin Freysson Ruric, King of Norland and High Chieftain of the Rurikkid Clans declares that Aurelion Marsyr and his conspirators are hereby declared traitors, oathbreakers, and outlaws, and are stripped of all lands and titles and subject to the full extent of the King’s justice.

 

Upon receiving this edict, all Subjects of Cartref Mor are welcomed to seek refuge in the remaining loyal lands, those who do so SHALL receive food and shelter, and may elect among themselves a leader to represent those loyal men of Cartref Mor to reclaim the hold for the honorable Audunian peoples.

Bill of Sale, 67 SA - Royal Laws & Edicts - The Lord Of The Craft

[Gaea_Foundation 581]

Overseer of the Ashguard, Sindri Vildr leans back his chair, "Time to play some chess."

[Javert 5566]

Dominic Kvitravn grins as he sharpens his blade "Let us slay some oathbreakers."

[Rattussmackus 597]

Claudia de Pelear smiles the sun’s smile “It’s time.”

[Asutto 1987]

An Ancient Adunian Lord bursted into hearty laughter as the missive circled around, eventually landing as a topic of conversation within the white walls of Halstaig. "Perhaps I underestimated your new allies after all." He'd proclaim to a figure cladded in olive-hued armor. "Rebellion runs through our veins." 

14 minutes ago, Kingdom of Norland said:

Audunian

The Lord later cringes as he officially reads the missive and wonders why the Almarian Adunians chose Norland of all places to call home.

[SimplySeo 5241]

Far in the south, the wayward Adunian Knight, Uther Gwathren hears tell of the conflict among the banter of his fellow riders whilst harrying the Orenian countryside. Unskilled in letters himself, he asks their company's priest to read aloud the missive for him. He'd sigh as he processes the information.

 

"Win or lose, I pray for their souls, my kin, and the Northmen."

[AstriaS 3709]

Casimira quietly sipped her tea, seated in a wonderfully comfortable chair in the suite of her vacation home- or perhaps it was just her regular home now, extended as her vacation had become. "One thing we can agree on, at least. May the heads of the traitorous adorn the parapets." She remarked, forgetting the matter soon after and returning to her forever-holiday.

[MisterBlitzkrieg 1357]

Björn Ragnarrsson Mösu read the missive from within the mösu manor in the hot and somewhat diverse climate of the south after it having found itself to him and taking his attention of the various letters and journals his father, Ragnarr Mösu "Barbarossa", had left him "Seems like my father and kinsmen weren't the only ones that were tired of Norland." - "Perhaps I can finally fufill the oath I made to him..." He remarked in a mumbling manner to himself before returning to read his fathers journals and letters, finding a letter that was supposed to be sent to some Hyspian woman in Oren.

[ImDrippedJr 171]

King Odins' spare parts nodded approvingly "Well done, brother. Well done"

 

[rukio 8910]

"Ti, but... wasn't Norland supposed to send aid to Cartref for the invading forces and refused to do so? Also, Cartref Mor was told they weren't beholden to Norlandic law when they met with the king...that they were free to do everything they are currently doing." Says Nehtamo to a lock of hair, despairing over the abduction of his dearest friend and Norland's refusal to send aid despite their requirement by vow to do so.

[Pyrite 192]

"The False Lord has made an irreparable mistake." Uttered the Adunic Templar as he stood at the top of Halstaig, looking further to the West "Truly a disgrace to our kin and his father's memory." He then added clicking his tongue "The frost must have gotten to him..."

[Wizzar 481]

"When the entirety of your position relies on an old oath, entirely ignoring the many enumerated complaints about your failing Kingdom, a moment of reflection is required"  an Adunian Squire grunts, scowling at the missive before tearing it in half

[hemomancy 2849]

A child, one far too young to be reading such things as this; she must've grabbed such from a lone pole. "What will they do? They am going to be mad. Ea will watch.. vy will too, Lettie." She spoke to her little pet, stroking the white-furred rat that sat on her shoulder. Dariya went on her merry way, the missive crumped within both her hands to be used as a piece of kindling for her own use later.

[Salvo 1831]

"How long will Norland's flame stay lit?"

[Froschli 837]

Asmund Camian smiles brightly as he reads the missive, saying "Iron From ice!"
