NEW BULL POST WRITER

[!] Countess Adele Ludovar writing the next edition from her office in Otistadt.

 

 

As everyone should have seen, the lovely writer and founder of “Ve Kortrevich Bull Post” - Esmée Kortrevich - invited anyone interested in participating in her newspaper to contact her, at the conclusion of the previous edition. As such, the Countess Ludovar reached out to her friend with interest in writing a new column for the Bull Post, now dubbed “Noble News”. 

 

The section is intended to help readers to keep up with the tumultuous news surrounding Haense’s various Royal and Noble families. It is not designed with the intent of spreading gossip - that duty is held steadfastly by the “Hearsay of Hanseti-Ruska”, as endorsed by Her Majesty, Koenas Amadea, and this Post would not dare usurp their writers - but rather spreading the well-known, published news, in a condensed format. The writers hope that its dedicated readers will share their excitement about the new columnist assisting Lady Esmée with alleviating some of her writing duties, and, if needed, will send feedback on what they’d like to see in the column and elsewhere in the Post.

NOBLE NEWS

 

AN EXCHANGE OF GRAND LADIES

 

[!] A pair of portraits of Grand Lady, Georgina Barclay, and Grand Lady, Dorothea Isabel.

 

 

Saddening news befell the Courts of Hanseti-Ruska when Matyas Baruch had to announce the death of Queen-Mother Emma Karenina’s second Grand Lady, Duchess-Dowager Georgina Sofiya Barclay. It was said that the Dowager was suffering from a disease plaguing her lungs for many years before she eventually passed away with her family from birth, in the rolling Baruch hills of Valwyck. Her Excellency will be remembered for her many years of diligency at the hands of both Koenas Emma and Amadea, for spearheading the planning and operation of the most successful Lifstala season to date, and for being the figurehead holding the first ever Aulic position afforded to the Queen’s Council; as Her Excellency, the 19th Haucherzenas of Haense.

 

However, Queen Amadea must have acknowledged that the Council cannot mourn for too long, lest its productivity stall, for she appointed her sister in-law; Her Highness, Princess-Dowager Dorothea Isabel as the next Grand Lady of Haense. The Princess-Dowager has already spent many years serving as Her Majesty’s Court Chamberlain - likely in training to become Grand Lady - and the writers of this Post have high hopes for her tenure. 

 

In similar news, these appointments have left berths in the Inner Council, with Her Majesty searching for willing replacements. Apparently Her Highness, Princess Aloisa, appears to have stepped down from her position as Palace Custodian, and thus the Koenas requires participants to adopt the positions of Palace Custodian and Court Chamberlain respectively. For those interested, the Court Chamberlain is tasked with working alongside the Grand Maer of Karosgrad to operate several events in the Royal City of Karosgrad, while the Palace Custodian is tasked with the operation of events within the Prikaz itself. In her Queen’s Curation, the Koenas planned to interview any prospective candidates, and this Post shall surely share updates once the new appointments have been announced.

VE MORRIVI PRIKAZ: THE SPRING PALACE

[!] A painting of the grand Morrivi Prikaz, as illustrated by Esmée Kortrevich.

 

 

The Royal Pair were proud to announce their newest long-term project; dubbed “Ve Morrivi Prikaz”, or “The Spring Palace”. The Royal House of Barbanov-Bihar employed a group of diligent deconstruction workers who went around the clock to break down our beloved old Nikirala Prikaz, and replace it with the Spring Palace - whose build plans were designed by the Queen-Consort herself, over several years. The construction of the Spring Palace took several months, after which it now stands as a shining jewel of Haense’s progress and prosperity.

 

The Palace holds a sizable Royal Residence, an indoor and outdoor ballroom, an extensive feast hall, the King’s Court room, various Aulic offices, an expansive residence for Her Majesty’s wards, its own chapel, a large Palace library, a refitted Duma hall, hidden away in the depths are the Royal vaults and servant quarters, along with halls upon halls of noble apartments.

DUCAL DEVELOPMENTS

[!] An illustration of the Rozenfeld village of Reinmar.

 

 

A well-worded missive published by Her Princely Grace, the Duchess of Reinmar, described the various illustrious additions to its rosey fields. For example, the bustling village of Rozenfeld appears (on this writer’s inspection) to have sprung up from the ground in the Duchy. It hosts a flourishing ecosystem of shops, jousting facilities, cosy cottage homes, and the Reinmaren docks filled to the brim with bobbing ships across its expansive harbour. The village boasts a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the Royal City, and the dutiful protection of its newly established houseguard.

 

Along with these new developments, the Princely issue seemed proud to introduce a new bordgame to our cold northern expanses. Dubbed “Waldenian Ur”, it promises to be a strategic and chance-based game similar to Haeseni chess, yet featuring a greater shortness of matches compared to its older counterpart. Luckily, further notation has been published by the Duchess on the rules of the game, and, since then (under this writer’s observation, at least), the Ur board has rarely been left unattended by the plethora of enthusiastic Rozenfeld residents.

AN OFFER OF ADVERTISEMENT

 

 

With the General Elections of Haense beginning at the moment, these writers thought it pertinent to put out offers of advertisement to any prospective Royal Aldermen, or Grand Maers. The Post will take payment for such pieces of writing, and in exchange they shall present an account of the candidate in question’s past achievements, campaign promises, and their background, for any puzzled voters to get a more personal feel of any candidates.

 

If requested, the Post shall also interview paying candidates and quote them as required in the subsequent edition. If there is anything that candidates wish to tell voters, but could not include in their campaign posts, this would be the place to do so.
