"Let his death go not in vain, blood must be repaid with blood.”

Richard Stassion to his Council

TO THE GOOD FOLK OF THE HEARTLANDS,

 

The unfortunate news of the recent murder of Louis Dresnay, a teenager, a brother, a son, a member of Stassion, a citizen of Aaun. The fact that a teenager entered Haense with no threats, physical nor verbal but as a simple young man to attend the Haense Court with a childish joke as children do. To only be then murdered by the weak-minded King of Haense. The same King who proclaims to be a pious and well-worth King, to slaughter a child in the midst of his barren court and then blame his murder on a possible plot from Heartlanders.

 

But let it be known, this act of unjust violence will not go unnoticed nor will it be forgotten so easily as it is done within the lands off the Highlanders. Louis was not just a member of Stassion but friends among many within the Heartlands, from our neighbors in Drusco to the city of Winburgh and more. As a teenager would never be a threat to those with proper thinking and common sense. There seems to be a lack of proper thinking and common sense within Haense.

 

If our hate must stray away from the degenerates of Balian to the child-murderers of Haense, then so be it. Stassion will not stoop to the levels of killing women or children, but understand this clearly, and individuals who defend the Kingdom of Haense let it be through allegiances or through the bearing of their tabards or weapons will face justly revenge.

 

Blood for Blood.

"Okay." Otto shrugged, seemingly unimpressed.

[Continuate 130]

Tristand Dresnay's eyes burned with a mixture of sadness and seething anger as he recited the words, "Blood for blood." The deep sense of sorrow for his brother's untimely death was now intertwined with an unwavering desire for vengeance.

[Optimus420 1926]

The Margrave of Stassion after signing this document and seeing it sent out began to making his way to the armory of Castle Aurelian to have his smiths begin any and all preparations necessary for his men!

After Vespers prayers, Villorik spared a moment to eye the latest Stassion declaration.

 

When he saw it was still not a declaration of war, he gave it not a moment longer.

[Captain Crow 63]

Heard the news, enraged to find out that the boy that was killed was Louis "Blood for Blood, may Haense fall and may The king die a slow, and painful death! AVE STASSION! MAY RICHARD STAND FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!"

[Ryanark 2738]

"Something malicious is brewing." The Nephilim grazed a talon over the missive, idly tapping.

[Enlightenment 2295]

“Justice shall be served, Louis will be avenged!” Emilio screamed, to no one in particular.

[Laeonathan 5889]

"So it begins." Spoke Georg Euler, putting down his Euler Max and grinning to his father Stefan.

Teobold sat atop his mount with a watchful eye on the Stassion roads. "What is the life of a man worth?" he idly mused aloud as he waited.

[mojanghunter 566]

From within his home in Fredericksburg, Henri Frederic said a solemn prayer for the murdered Louis Dresnay. Admittedly, he had only been a distant acquaintance of Louis, though he had heard many great things of him from the townsfolk and held high expectations for his future within Stassion. Thus it had come as quite a surprise to the Lieutenant, that when he'd next heard of the young Louis, it was of his demise at the hand of the Haeseni King. And so did the de Falstaff scion pray; he prayed to GOD for salvation of Louis' soul and for the condemnation of those who had so ruthlessly taken his life.

[ContestedSnow 1435]

"The poor boy, poor teenager, but a man too when et suits the public notices. Was he niet already a man, nearly in his twenties? Or so ea've heard wailed. Unless Stassion boys only reach their majority in their thirties, ea think et a rather poor tale to spin. The Haeseni is a man at eighteen, and his actions are his own. Et must niet be the same in the Heartlands." The Duke of Vidaus rolled his eyes slightly as he regarded the parchment, before placing it aside for later. He presumed he must be right, since they lamented that fool as a child so.

Willem studied the missive with a growing frown. “They called him a man at first, I certainly wasn’t playing with toys at his age. Now they call him a child. I wonder what the Stassions will turn this poor fellow into next.” 

 

He sighed, setting the missive down. “All this bickering… and for what? Staining his memory with the blood of more innocents will fix nothing.”

 

The barkeep awkwardly nodded along, unsure why this man was rambling to him.

"Men are evermore serpents than we are, when it means that meaning itself must change, warp and dance to their ever changing tunes. In this way, they are all liars." Mused the Azdrazi from between his books.
