DUCAL LETTERS FOR THE

COUNTY OF VAROCHE

9th of Sun's Smile, 1907

 

TO THE DUCHY OF ADRIA,

 

It is the responsibility of the Ducal Coronet to reward its faithful subjects with titles befitting their rank, station, and abilities. As such, we confer unto Sigismond Varoche the County of Varoche, by lawful claim of descent and in recognition of extraordinary merit. Its associated titles, fee and privileges are to be held as the exclusive and perpetual right of Count Varoche and his lawful heirs.

 

As any loyal vassal of Adria, the Count receives the right to counsel his liege, and is so entitled to a seat in the Ducal Duma. In turn, we charge Count Varoche and his heirs with the upkeep of common and ecclesiastical properties, the maintenance of levies, the enforcement of laws. His rights, liberty, and property are under the aegis of the Duchy of Adria - and in turn, he is obliged to raise his sword in defense of our sovereignty.

 

May this decision bring glory and prosperity to Adria and may the House of Varoche never fail in its duties to our Duchy.
