Petsch2k 1175 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2022 Petsch von Minitz SA 67 - 108 SA KILLED IN BATTLE Attempting to aid his King in a rescue mission during a skirmish at Un'Satum Petsch von Minitz was born in the beautiful land of Reinmar. He was born a peasant like most, he began helping around the farm and his community since he could walk. As time went by he grew into a man. As anyone in their youth, he began to be curious of his surroundings, the lands beyond Reinmar to be exact. He yearned for honor, adventure, and most importantly brotherhood. He yearned to become a great warrior like his father and the veteran warriors in Reinmar. So as soon as he heard that two of the Duke's kin - Lord Leon Barclay & Lord Dietrich Barclay - were going out to set their mark on this world by establishing a warband, Petsch jumped at the opportunity. It was difficult for him to leave, seeing his mother distraught at his decision since his father died in a battle defending his home. He resolved himself that one day he could end up the same. A few weeks later he set off to Castle Durres to hopefully meet the Lords, and so he did on a rainy night. He was completely soaked as he arrived at the gates to greet whoever was there at the moment. To his luck he met with Lord Leon Barclay. After a reasonable amount of questioning from the Lord to a strange man walking up towards his Castle gates in the middle of a rain storm, he finally asked where Petsch was from. Of course he was proud to say from Reinmar, and then in an instant the Lords demeanor changed towards him. Spoiler From then on, he became a inexperienced warrior within the Theodoric's Warband. He would be put to the test soon after during a few battles, and most notably the Acre Rebellion. Spoiler Soon after the war he me Hannah. They got married at the Chapel of St. Ottomar within the lands of House Alstriem. It was a time of peace and happiness for Petsch. They had two children together, but life always has it's twists and turns. Hannah was murdered by bandits, and regrettably Petsch was the first to find her. It seemed to Petsch that someone has cursed him, a darkstalker not long after the death of his wife sought to drain the lifeforce of his young daughter - shriveling up and thrown off a roof. He was able to catch her before she fell to her death, and she recovered after the events. Sadly this sowed paranoia into the warrior and decided to distant himself from his family in order to keep them safe. He knew his community of tribesmen and women would take care of his children, he had to focus on other duties. Primarily his warrior duties, he seemed to be deployed often on patrols and for good reason, he had to defend his home land - Minitz. As time progressed and he began to grow into old veteran warrior, he found himself appointed as Lawspeaker, to uphold the Kanun and it's will. At this point in life, he felt a mix of emotions, undying loyalty to his Lord, Reinmaren pride swelling within him as he continued his duties to his home, but also deep regret that he couldn't have been a better father. One evening he heard the horn - the war horn. It was time to rally once more, unknowingly what has happened he quickly put his chainmail armor on, grabbed his gear and whistled for his trusted reinmaren stallion. After rallying with an auxiliary force, he was then informed of the tragedy, his King's daughter - a princess of aaun - has been kidnapped and as any father would do he wanted to go rescue her. Petsch at this point knew this possibly was his final battle, but what an honorable death he thought going into battle with his King and his Lord's. He sallied out with Siegdfried Barclay, Herman Barclay, Brandt Barcaly, & Gregorius Roa to meet with Bailian's rally. . . The battle ensued thereafter. Petsch von Minitz was killed in action in service of his Lord and King. May he rest in the seven skies. [!] Within the keep of Neu Brandtof there seemed to be a pile of letters set upon the Duke's office, one of them would read. . . My Lord, one can never know when it is one's time, but after many battles one can easily smell the stench of death. Sadly it seems the stench of death lingers around me. Before I go to a warrior's place, I must inform you of a grave possibility regarding our warrior brother Teft Barclay. Since he has disappeared I have noticed the absence of Azrielle Vilac, his wife to be. I do not want to assume the worst. She mentioned that her brother is an aggressive person. She stated to me that, the only way they would allow them to marry is if Teft takes the Vilac name . If I do not survive this battle, this will be my last request in this life. Please my Lord, please find out what happened to my brother Teft Barclay, seek out Azrielle Vilac. 32 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudgedKitty 200 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Reetus heard of the news. He just broke down crying in his bed, covering himself with the green sheets. He couldn't believe his father was gone. He felt alone, bitter, and jealous. Mostly sadness fall onto the teen boy. He will never asked Petsch for his first sword, never had a home in Mintiz, and never show his father his bug collection. Fate was cruel for the boy. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow2k 536 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) The Stag heard the news and responded with a grimace. In the stead of a joke or a toast in remembrance of his friend, he only closed his eyes, and silently mourned the loss of yet another companion, with but two words manifesting. "I'm sorry."

Sarven 1735 Share Posted December 23, 2022 "The Gotts are cruel this day..." Yvian would speak softly, gazing up at the skies with a frown on his face as he'd grimace, a single loan tear falling from his cheek 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zemzy_Oakheart 187 Share Posted December 23, 2022 From within the home of the Roan tribe, Blume Herrlichkeit had finally felt like the feeling of regaining her strength after the mess of being kidnapped & returning back to the city of Neu Brandthof not even a year ago as she was going to try & seize the day for once! Not even a step out the doorway, the young teen would see a paper had been pinned to the door outside as she skimmed the page if it were junkmail, but the name caught her eye; Petsch von Minitz, Papa. Blume dropped to the ground immediately; her legs gave out as she couldn't believe its title; Petsch von Minitz DEAD. "P...p-papa...." cracked her voice, the tears began to well up as it blurred her vision, "Y-you were... n-never the bad luck.... I.. was the unl-lucky one.... I... j-just wanted... y-you to... c-come home.... I love y-you, p... p.. papa...." She began to cry harder upon the road as she took the scrap of paper inside & shambled to the depths below; curling up upon a bed with a plush as she began to sob her heart out for the lost soul she'd never been able to speak to ever again. Fate was cruel to the remnants of the Herrlichkeits this day. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaltaMoss 1841 Share Posted December 23, 2022 A teal-faced marauder sat high upon the orcish construction, eyes cast down upon the field of death left in the battle's thunderous wake. Upon the ground he spotted the mangled form, trampled beneath torrents of boots. The armor caught his eye, it was from land's so far from where it's wearer now lay. He turned his head, unable to look any longer."Just another soldier, that's all." He reassured himself, grimacing. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodGuyMatt 7072 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Within the the wall of the ducal keep in Neu Brandthof, Leon learns of Petsch's passing from one of his courtiers. Stoically, he nods, a face emotionless, uttering no words. To his office he ventures then, locking the door on his way in. From the many piles of paper, he takes one, accompanied by his quill, seemingly beginning to write something official. He remained quiet as he did so. Silence dominated the room, a heavy silence, a silence of frozen grief. As he wrote, the Barclay's mind ventured to decades past. The first image of Petsch appeared in his mind, when he approached outside the walls of Durres. Two Reinmaren men, two brothers of no related blood, related by their culture and values, by their homeland and their lifestyle. Immediate friends they became, and for Minitz they both worked, for a common cause, a cause bigger than both of them, a cause that bonded them as brothers. Only few words he was able to write before the quill was placed flat on the table. His heavy heart couldn't allow him to concentrate. He got up, and went towards the window, gazing upon the lands of Neu Brandthof. Finally, a hard noise echoes around the room as Leon thudded his chest, followed by the splash of tears drenching the wooden floor. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danjahb29 247 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) As he read the posted letter Anton’s fists clenched. Though he never really knew his friend’s father he was furious at the pain caused to those he cared about. Bloom and her kin would weep and he was far from home, unable to comfort his adoptive sister. Edited December 23, 2022 by Danjahb29 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

valecu 2025 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Eleanor was seated onto a pleasant tabouret, her eyes fixated upon an endless pile of papers. Thereafter, a knock echoed throughout the room. "COME IN!" She rose her tone and spinned towards the door. The aging woman's closest servant stood before her, uttering and mumbling. In moments, silence engulfed the room, and the Pruvia crossed the Lorraine over her body. "He was a good man, and more intelligent than many." She halted, lips curling once again. "You must ensure that his children receive letters, of our sympathy regarding their father's death." 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
