VA BIRODEO HERZENAV E EDLERVIK,

 

It has been almost a year since Duke Valdemar left Valwyck in our care. During these months, we have served faithfully and tirelessly to administer and dutifully steward Valwyck, Lallybroch, and the encompassing lands that House Baruch has been granted to govern. During this time, we have begun preparations for the reconstruction and renovation of the Burgh of Lallybroch, we have further restructured and expanded in detail upon the Ducal council of Valwyck, and we have patiently awaited the birth of the Duke and Duchess’ firstborn child and heir.

 

It is with immense joy and great pride that we may announce the successful labor and birth of the firstborn child of Duke Valdemar and Franziska Baruch within the Castle of Lichestadt. Last night, under the shining stars that chart the course of Valdemar’s expedition, a healthy and lively daughter was born to the couple. 

 

The Regency Council was in agreement on the name of the child; to honor a former Duchess that co-ruled in her own right. The Child shall be named after the wife of Former Duke Eirik Baruch, who was appointed Co-ruler by her husband for the last few years of their reign; she served Valwyck and the Haeseni courts honorably for many years. the name and title of the child shall be the following

 

Her Grace, The Duchess of Valwyck, ANASTASYA RHONA BARUCH

 

While this does mark a milestone in the Regency, our service is not over. Until little Anastasya is of age to take over the Duchy in her own right, the Lord Regent and Council shall continue to carry out its duties overseeing Lichestadt, Lalybroch, and Greater Valwyck. We Pray for Godan’s guidance, and thank him for the healthy heir he has gifted his leal servants that reside in Valwyck.

 

BY MOUNTAIN, RIVER, AND COAL,

 

His Excellency, Otto Baruch-Gant, Lord Regent and Steward of the Duchy of Valwyck,

 Baron of Gant 

 

Her Grace, Franziska Baruch, Duchess-Consort of Valwyck, Countess of Ayr, Viscountess of Voron, Baroness of Laval and Riveryn, Lady of Jorenstadt, Guardian of the Hanseti Coast

 

His Lordship, Eirik Baruch.
