The Last Royal Act of Tar-Númenatâr Foronathor

The Last Royal Act of Tar-Númenatâr Foronathor

 

---

 

To my fair and noble subjects.

For fifty years, I have ruled and reigned over the Folk of Harren, and in that time, I can say proudly, that we have gone from the most errant of Horen’s children, to retaking our place among His flock. When I was a boy, Adunians were second-class and scattered to the wind. Now, we make up one of the Great Kingdoms of Men, all of this and more, I have done with you, and I have done for you, and I could not have done without you. It is the style of the Kings of Men to rule until their death, but, we are not wholly men. And I cannot, it saddens me to say, rule our mighty nation for another century or more. New leadership is required, new ideas, new hopes and dreams, for I have fulfilled mine, and now, all that is left for me is that my children and my subjects live in the world I have built for them, and that they too prosper.

 

Passion must be reignited, a passion for ruling which in me has waned, along with my energy to do so. It is a passion that my daughter has, but she cannot do so alone. As such, I implore you all to remain at her side, to take her rule, and to grant her wise council, as you have me, for I know I would not have done as I have without you all.

 

Therefore, in my last act as King of Númendil, King and Protector of the Adunians, and Lord of the Númenaranyë, Númenost, and the Barrowlands, is to pass on my titles, my crown, and my throne to my daughter. Caraneth Aryantë of the House Arthalionath, and henceforth be the first to recognize her as Tar-Caraneth Aryantë of the House Arthalionath.

And may she reign nobly and well.

By the Grace of GOD

Tar-Númenatâr Foronathor of House Arthalionath, Founder and King of Númendil, King and Protector of the Adunians, Lord of the Númenaranyë, Númenost, and the Barrowlands, High-Chieftain of the Númenedain and the Harren’hil, Conqueror of the Sharadûn, Templar of the Archangel Michael, and Knight of the Realm.

 

[AstriaS 3709]

Tar-Caraneth Aryantë spent quite some time in the Temple of Saint King Caius in the days that followed, praying for guidance.

[Fimlin 1697]

"Thank you Father, for all that you've built for us."

 

Azrubêl says before congratulating her sister.

[DankuzMemuz 26]

"May you sleep under the starlit sky for many years to come, O' King of Kings. Your daughter will do just fine, I do think. May we meet again. In this Kingdom you have built or on the roads."
Traskaath would utter as he sat by the firepit of Númendil. Muttering a silent prayer to both Cernunnos and Cerridwen.

The Lord and Lady of Caladras, Ser Elerríon and Ser Cálienë of House Seregon, pen these words with the utmost respect and sincerity as we have received the news of your decision to resign from the esteemed position of The Exilic Kingdom’s White Throne. Your reign has been marked by an incredible amount of accomplishment from the most humble of beginnings, to the passionate rise of the Folk of Harren. It was through martial prowess and unwavering commitment to those within your merry band that you laid claim to land in the most unforgiving of circumstance in Almaris. Through that venture, you have risen to your place with wisdom, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to the welfare and prosperity of your subjects.

 

First and foremost, we want to express our deepest gratitude for your years of exemplary service and leadership. Your tireless efforts have been instrumental in shaping the Númenaranyë into the strong and vibrant realm it is today. Your accomplishments, your pursuit of Godly justice, and your visionary approach to old Idunia’s culture have left an indelible mark on our history.

 

We understand that the decision to step down was not made lightly, and we hold the utmost respect for your judgment. Your well-being and happiness are of paramount importance, and we fully support your choice to transition the crown and your positions to your daughter.

 

As you embark on this new chapter, please know that you will have the unwavering support and loyalty of House Seregon. Your wisdom and counsel are invaluable to our kingdom, and we believe your guidance will continue to be a vital asset in the years ahead.

It would be remiss of us to not also extend our heartfelt appreciation for your patience and understanding during the formative years where our arrival and adoption of the chivalric Code and more importantly, the conversion to Canonism. The ease with which our Elven blood had integrated into your kingdom is a testament to your leadership and the welcoming spirit of our new home.

 

While your resignation marks a significant transition for our realm, we are confident that your daughter, our new Tar-Caraneth Aryantë, will uphold the same principles and ideals that have guided us under your rule. As we move forward, we shall face the future with the same determination and unity that you have instilled in our people.

 

On a personal note, we want to express our gratitude for the friendship we have shared throughout your reign. Your fairness, consideration, and advice have meant a great deal to both of us, and we look forward to continuing our bond in the years to come, regardless of your official role.

 

In closing, we extend our deepest regards and appreciation for your service to our kingdom, Your Majesty. As we navigate this time of transition, may we continue to uphold the values and principles that have made our realm strong.

 

With the utmost respect and admiration,

Father Brandt, having also recently abdicated has a note hand delivered to the former King, whom he knows as Uther;

 

"Dear Uther,

 

I hope this message finds you in good health and spirits during these times of change. I wanted to take a moment to extend my thoughts and well wishes to you as you navigate the path that lies ahead.

 

Verily, the paths of you, Oijin and I have been intertwined, for we have crossed each other's paths as knights, then rulers, and now, you and I, as rulers no longer. 

 

While our titles may have changed, the bonds of friendship and respect remain. The experiences we've shared throughout our time together have left an indelible mark on me, and I'm grateful for the moments of camaraderie and understanding that we've built.

 

As you embark upon this new phase, let yourself cast eyes back upon the trails you have blazed, the wisdom garnered, and the connections that have knitted themselves to the tendrils of fate. I hope to see you sometime again.

 

Father Brandt."

Within the white towers of Númenost, recovering from his wounds sustained in recent battle, a certain dwarvish blacksmith muses.

 

"Be ye King, Knight, or Hermit en a barn.. Ye'll always be one thing fer' certain Uther: my best friend."
