Acting in accordance with the codes of chivalry and by the grace of GOD, the Round Table opposed the rule of Renilde I and her claim as the sovereign of the Commonwealth of the Petra. We were roused to act in response to the threat of a foreign army encroaching upon our lands. An army of mercenaries and raiders which sought to take the lives of the populace we swore to defend.

The blood of those we once considered our brothers and sisters was shed in the civil war that followed. Our country was set aflame and many innocents were displaced by the final battle for Valfleur. Men, women and children burned in the fires of war, and anger forestalled all hope for a peaceful resolution. 

 

But though we lament the loss of life, we bear no regret in standing for what we believed to be righteous. The people believed in Constanz and stood by him until his honourable death by single combat. Our penance shall be dedicated to ensuring that the Archduke’s sacrifice was not in vain and that peace is once again restored to the heartlands. The war is over.

Thus, we the surviving members of the Round Table and council of His Grace, the late Archduke Constanz, do announce this to be our final act in said capacity. We declare the following: 

 

• The Round Table shall forsake its claim to be the rightful government to the Commonwealth of the Petra, and its associated territories. 

 

• The Round Table hereby recognises the legitimacy of the bloodline of Paul Salvian and the House of the Petra as the sovereign rulers of the Commonwealth of the Petra. 

 

• The members of the Round Table shall ensure the well-being of the children sired through the union of Constanz and Renilde I, following its dissolution, as per the will of their late father. 

 

• The Round Table hereby declares any and all previous declarations of hostility or calls for violence against the regime of Renilde I null and void. Furthermore, we denounce any future dissident activities perpetrated by revolutionary remnants.

Albert read the declaration with a wince of sorrow.
"I hope now that my father, and all those who died in his service, can finally rest. This chapter of our lives has reached its end."

[Nectorist 7422]

"Oh damn, I didn't know his name was Gregory," Father Blackwater says upon seeing the true name behind the Sir 'Wings' moniker.

Evangeline Daphne smiled the Sun's Smile as she sat alongside her fellow council members, "Let's get this show on the road!"

Clementine Amadea reads over the missive sighing, as she walks with her children along a path “My dear children” As she would continue on looking to the sky

[Harald 2484]

Sir Gwendel "the innocent" Vilac would read the missive, signing it as he sent it back to his old comrades to let them know he agreed!

[Mannamannaa 1626]

Kor'garr the Clanless sets this missive into his shelf of materials labelled 'Petra Aftermath'. Perhaps these knights might be willing to discuss their perspective on the conflict in an interview?

 

"Entureztyng..."

[tilly 3672]

"Oh, all right." The Archduchess murmured, very curious of what the signatories will do next.

[Phoebe202 638]

Laetitia would light up a cigarette with a sigh.
