O’ GUD, VOR HJELP I GYNE ERE,

 

Due to changing circumstances within the Comital House of Colborn, Count Carolus Ivan Colborn has made the decision to step down as Patriarch of his House, soon after naming Lord Nikolai Adrian Cedrik Colborn as his successor in accordance with the Scyfling tradition of selecting an heir from among the pool of promising candidates rather than abiding by a system of primogeniture succession like the other Houses within Hanseti-Ruska.

 

However, the heir to the role of Patriarch and House Colborn’s many other titles shall need training in order to be fully prepared for the role. Therefore, Count Carolus’s mother: Lady Anabel Elia Colborn, and Keeper of the fabled Book of House Colborn, shall be taking her son’s place as the Matriarch of the Comital House for the time being until Lord Nikolai is trained sufficiently enough to take on the mantle.

 

Nikolai Adrian Cedrik Colborn shall henceforth be known as the Heir of House Colborn and its titles, and the future Protector of Scyflings. In the meantime, Anabel Elia Colborn shall be regarded as the Matriarch of House Colborn, Countess of Malkovya, Viscountess of Venzia, Baroness of Bethlenen, Lady of Vorenburg, and the new Protector of Scyflings.

Murtagh Amador sat with his sestra in the Haense square, bouncing his niece upon his knee as he read over the missive aloud. Once he reached the end of the paper, he'd cry aloud: "AYY! Vyr married to that laddieh Kattie!" He'd slap the soon-to-be Colborn Countess consort's shoulder with a grin, startling the poor child on his knee with his loud praises. "Congrats!"

Katja Colborn's face fell flat as she listened to her illiterate brother read aloud the missive. Though his words often slurred and had improper pronunciation, she got the gist of what had swiftly befallen the house she had married into. "Oh ma dear Godan..." she mumbled, signing the lorraine across herself thrice before moving to tug the startled child into her embrace. "Ye must pray fer papej, Adriana. May our Lord protect him and our house." she spoke resolutely, petting her daughter's head as if to soothe the both of them with the act of affection.

Somewhere a rather disgruntled woman graced her temple within her overwhelmed nature, however smiled upon knowing her sister finally got her time to shine. “Perhaps briefly now- she shall step out into public and shine.”
