tilly 3629 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2023 A DECLARATIONIssued and Confirmed by Her Grace, the Archduchess of the Petra, Renilde I 17th of Sigismund’s End, 1916 TO OUR BELOVED SUBJECTS,Today is a most heinous day not only to the Petran realm, but to the heartlands as a whole, and perhaps even humanity as a whole: on an evening where I formally planned to join the fight with our allies to the north, and their friends in the desert – to devote the Petrine cause to aiding a rightful duke being anointed with the Adrian Coronet – were we savagely attacked. Myself, three of my Round Table Councilors, Regent Sigismund Varoche, his son Charles Varoche, and an Adrian named Callahan were sat in the meeting chambers of the Estenpromé, discussing how Petra can help. We decided on the terms to be set in our ‘’Writ of Avoidance’, and laid the document out to be similar to that of the one His Eminence, Father Iosif released on Haense’s behalf. The terms were agreeable, but we also sought to add more stipulations before being interrupted. The people just kept pouring in - people I did not recognize armed with lethal weaponry. Quickly, did these invaders set about the room, roughing up my dear friend Sir Laurens Henri before binding his hands up. It was then that I heard the command - and from a much more familiar voice. When the woman who had tied my hands had moved out of my line of view, I saw them: Joseph Vasile and the anathema, Heinrik, himself. These two had once been loyal friends to the Petrans, ones that would show up when we were in need, ones that supported us during our own civil war. And this is how you treat that same friend now? With a raid in the dark, hoping no one would notice? No. It is now that we must take a side, as one of the few remaining Canonist Princedoms to declare a side during this ongoing conflict (if any). We ask King Georg I of Haense and King Alexander I of Balain to allow us a signature on their own alliance, ‘A Polar Concurrence’, for we stand for the same goal and wish to aid in any which way possible. O SAINTE RÈGNE PETRÉRE,Her Grace, Renilde I, By the Grace of GOD, Archduchess of the Petra, Countess of Temesch and Moere 67 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibiou 1453 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Anne, who had been in the room present and was bound by ruffians, stared blankly at the declaration from her good friend and Archduchess. Despite her caution, she was in her bakery. "I'm glad I got to spread the word to all of our allied nations when I had the chance, though, too late it seems..." The Chamberlain said to herself solemnly, unable to even pick up her good wooden spoon. "May their souls be at rest, for GOD will reassuringly see to the rebel demise. They only prove that their intentions are not of liberation, but of conquering." 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkyi 1495 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Emerentia Vilac scratched her head, perplexed, as she had been having quite the pleasant conversation during the arrest of Sigismond and Charles with the Archduchess Renilde. "Perhaps I should've roughed her up when she asked me to." 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greehn 1672 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Wolfgang de Vilain said a small prayer for the two Varoche's whos lives were lost in the kidnapping that happened."If making more enemies is what they wanted, then raiding Petra was a good move." Wolfgang chuckled as he armed himself. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarven 1605 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Yvian gazed upon the missive with a nod of affirmation, "An unlikely ally in these tubulous times, we stand united against the Raevir hordes..." he'd then sign the lorraine accross his breastplate, ushering a prayer for Sigismund and Charles. "Gott mit uns.." 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solour 300 Share Posted March 22, 2023 "Actions have consequence. What did they expect to occur?" Clasping his hands together, Rakshasa hung his head low. He muttered a prayer under the night sky for the two Varoche unrightfully slain. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fie 2519 Share Posted March 22, 2023 "You state you were going to join the fight on Adria's enemies side, yet at the same time you mourn the fate of those that are considered enemies to the Adrians? I believe that, perhaps, the Archduchess might be simple minded..." Wilhelmina trailed off as she put down the paper. "I suppose someone who was once a puppet to Balianites can never not be a puppet after all." 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I suppose someone who was once a puppet to Balianites can never not be a puppet after all." Alexander I nodded his head in agreement with the missive. "It would seem the idiocy of the Adrian's has once again reared its head- complacency is not for this day, or the 'morrow. Canonism as a whole must rid itself of this plague that swallows the southernmost land of the Heartlands." 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marikandaperc 1122 Share Posted March 22, 2023 "To fight against my own Archduchess..." muttered a former Petran, holding the missive tightly. "I am not sorry, Renilde, but definitely confused." she finally stated after pondering for a long time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
