OF CLIFFS AND LANDSLIDES

 

8th of Tobias’ Bounty, 1933

 

 

By the UNITY OF MIND of the GOVERNMENT in PETRA, serving always CHIVALRY, LIBERTY and JUSTICE, the ARCHDUCHESS does affirm this EDICT

 

Concerning the REDCLYFIAN TREATY OF VALFLEUR of 1922 and the ACTIVATION OF ARTICLE VI

 

 

For over a decade, the people of Redclyf have served the Commonwealth with distinction. Unfortunately, the recurrence of disputes between the Sovereign of our Commonwealth and the Vavasour of Redloga have necessitated a thorough review of our relationship.

 

The causes which have compelled us to do so are many. These include:

 

-THE ANTAGONIZATION OF THE COMMONWEALTH’S NEIGHBORS

-THE FAILURE BY THE HOUSE OF MOSU TO PAY LEGAL RESTITUTION AS SO ORDERED IN A COURT OF LAW

-A LACK OF DIRECT FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMONWEALTH LANDS

-A GENERAL UNWILLINGNESS BY THE VAVASOUR TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE GREATER COMMONWEALTH

-REPEATED INSTANCES OF DISRESPECT SHOWN TOWARD THE SOVEREIGN, HER COUNSELORS, AND CITIZENS OF THE COMMONWEALTH

-DISREGARD FOR THE SOVEREIGN’S AUTHORITY AS LIEGE

 

It therefore seems clear by these actions that the Vavasour of Redloga has no intention of honoring the Redclyfian Treaty of Valfleur of 1922 in the long term, nor in good faith. We have been tolerant and have striven to bridge this divide on several occasions, yet our efforts to do so have come to no avail.

 

As such, it is with the utmost regret that we must trigger Article VI of the Redclyfian Treaty of Valfleur. The title of the Vavasoury of Redloga is thusly returned to the Crown of St. Emma and all promises of land and legal obligations held by the Commonwealth to the former Vavasour under that treaty are to be rescinded. Regardless, we promised that we would part ways peacefully should our relationship sour, and that promise shall be kept.

 

However, in recognition of the exemplary loyalty and service of so many of the Redclyfian people, including the newly christened Vavasour of the Rivers and others, the Sovereign does extend to all citizens and families of Redclyf who wish to remain a part of the Commonwealth the opportunity to do so in the spirit of Article VII of that same treaty without any change. We urge those who have not already expressed their wish to remain and hold such intentions to petition the Sovereign as such.

 

 

O SAINTE RÈGNE PETRÉRE

HER SERENE GRACE, Renilde I, by the Grace of GOD, Archduchess of the Petra, Marquise de Val d’Estenou, Countess of Temesch and Moere, Baroness of Garmont, Valfleur, Vallagne-en-Petra, and of the Phoenixspire, Defender of Liberty

Tar-Númenatâr slams his fist onto the arm of the White Throne "The Redclyfers eat BABIES!"

[Nooblius 7965]

The Count Sarkozic guffaws. "Took 'em long enough- I warned her, didn't I?" He asks a fellow veteran of the East Failor Pit War.

[AstriaS 4988]

Caraneth heard the name 'Redclyf' and for a brief moment remembered fondly her days as a child warlord.

[Optimus420 1926]

“Interesting times to live in.” The Count of Stassion said from the construction site of his camp upon reading the missive. 

[marikandaperc 1818]

Ingrid Freyja Kolsson-Mosu, now just Angelika scowled at the missive. Her eyes alit with fiercful fires, as did her aura with that pink color. She read it over, and over, and over again. A sense of guilt struck her heart - she led her people into Petra, and then allowed their fall.  How terrible of a kinswoman, she had been. With a thin, weak flame did the paper burn to a crisp. And she carried on with her travels, under new name and life.

"Did nobody learn from the Failorian Redclyf war? Anyone?" a man by the name of Dominic Kvitravn said

[Amesti 247]

Marol frowned. While she had begun to distance herself from Redclyf a few years ago, it saddened her to see the sorry state they now were in. "S'pose it is good I moved outta Petra then.." She muttered.
