Demavend 286 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) THE BURNING TREE IN ASHES Issued by the HOUSE OF RUTHERN On the 12th day of Wzuvar and Byvca of 460 E.S SANGKRUV I RUTHER, The Kingdom of Norland has for too long sat upon our borders and flaunted their heretical nature, hanging good Canonist men and women from the flaming tree they hold in such prestigious reverence. Never again shall this kingdom be contaminated with the godless creatures that roam it. It was the final wish of my father-in-law, King Karl III, that my wife and I rectify this most grievous offence to our kingdom and Canonism. He has bestowed upon me his iron fist in order to bring the holy word of God to this nation of heathens, and such is what I shall do. I have offered diplomacy and I have shown my fair hand, but such is a favour that must not be offered twice. You have scorned my attempt at good-will, and now leave me with no choice but the sword. Our Pontiff does now give this excursion his blessing. He shares the wish of many of God’s faithful to see it underneath a good king. A strong king. A Canonist Ruler. You have been offered chances time and time again to join the fold of your Canonist brethren, and yet you have shirked it off on every occasion. You are a nation now that remains a small blight upon the holy tapestry of Canonism and man. Your nation stands abandoned, empty for all but the crows. Now let it be that we shall rid this stain once and for all. We offer the final chance of conversion to the Canonist Faith under the House of Ruthern and Hanseti-Ruska, or damnation hereafter. GOD BLESS NORLAND AND THE HOUSE OF RUTHERN DRUZ GJERNZ AG GRYVNZ, His Grace, Aleksandr var Ruthern, Duke of Vidaus, Count of Metterden, Baron of Rostig, Lord of Druzstra and Protector of the South Her Serene Highness, Analiesa Josefina Ruthern, Princess Royal of Hanseti-Ruska, Duchess of Karosgrad, Duchess-Consort of Vidaus, Countess-Consort of Metterden, Baroness-Consort of Rostig, Lady of Druzstva and Protector of the South Edited January 11, 2023 by Demavend 45 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerfectlyPeachy 1344 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Analiesa placed a hand to the shoulder of her husband as the missive was released, nervously twirling her Hussariyan cross betwixt her slender fingers. Inwardly, she pleaded with god for a swift end to this business, one that favoured her and her house. "Let the light of god guide them to salvation." She murmured, turning to polish the longsword of the Duke as he donned his armour. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eryane 3629 Share Posted January 11, 2023 After returning home from the neighboring kingdom, Elizaveta walked the bustling streets of Branhavn and listened in on all the buzz around her. The moment she was lost within the gathered people, she clung to her mother and father again without looking away from what she observed in the small town. She gripped her small rapier that hung at her side, for even she had been warned of what may come. @PerfectlyPeachy@Demavend 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
