The Birth of the Bears

THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF AN HEIR

 

 

Issued by the

DUCHESS OF VALWYCK

On the 13th day of Jula ag Piov of 483 E.S.

 

---

 

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE MOUNTAINS AND THE LAKES,

 

It is with great pleasure the Duchy of Valwyck announces the birth of a long-awaited heir, who has already warmed the hearts of his kin upon his first breaths. The birth marks the first of surely many to come from the ducal couple.

 

As night fell on the 9th eve of Jula ag Piov, the Duchess delivered the heir to Valwyck in the comfort of Valdev. Despite the biting winds of the North and the frigid air that so commonly encompasses the Kingdom, the babe was born healthy, indicated by his shrill cries and vibrant nature. With his fiery locks, he bears most resemblance to his mother, and embodies the strength of his ancestors.

 

The heir to the Duchy of Valwyck has been named;

 

His Lordship,

SIGMAR GEORG BARUCH

Though the House of Baruch does not only welcome one child, but two. The brother of the Duchess, Alasdair Baruch, has fathered a healthy babe of his own. His locks are dark as the midnight sky, and his gentle eyes shimmer like that of the stars. With his announcement does the Duchess of Valwyck hereby acknowledge the child as the trueborn son of Lord Alasdair to take the Baruch name.

 

The child has been named;

 

His Lordship,

RAMSAY FABIEN BARUCH

MAY GOD BLESS THEM WITH LONG, FULFILLING LIVES

Not even a thought upon her parents minds, the Lady Catriona Eilidh Baruch held absolutely nothing in her head, as she was not born and not even remotely in existence.

Alasdair cradled his infant son, utterly enamored with the odd child. Ramsay bore little resemblance to his father, save for a pair of large, ocean-blue eyes. The third generation of such, in fact...

[critter 2469]

Fabian's whittling knife scrapes cuts of maple and pine; a crib, taking slow and steady form from what once were trees as tall as his dearest business associate's son shall grow.

In the future, a young Princess Isabel would be befriending the Baruch heir; going off to frolic through the fields of Valwyck. For now however, the two year old merely gawked at all the new babies popping up everywhere. Oh, how she thanked her mother for being the oldest of them all by continuing to scream bloody murder in the palace.

[Greehn 1850]

Sigmar Georg Baruch wailed and cried for no particular reason.
