TO THE GOOD FOLK OF THE HEARTLANDS,

 

In spite of the efforts of those who forged the Heartland Accords, it seems the Heartlands have yet again been plunged into turmoil. Despite the weakness which plagued their armies and  which ails their cities, the moves of the Petran Crown against those who were once considered their allies have only grown bolder since leaving our binding alliance. Just earlier this Saint’s Day, three of the men of Stassion ventured into the Petran Capital city of Vallagne, presumably to see what festivities the otherwise lifeless capital might have to offer. Despite having opened the gates of Vallagne to allow the men of Stassion passage into the city, a group of Petran Knights apprehended the party shortly thereafter without provocation, violently taking Sir Tristand Dresnay, the Baron of Valcour, for interrogation. Though Sir Tristand answered their various unwarranted questions honestly and truthfully, the knights of Petra were unconvinced of his good intentions and sought to make an example of the man. Those barbarians they call knights first considered taking his head as tribute, but reason prevailed as they recognized the folly of such a bold action without the backing of a competent and well organized army to support their stupidity. Thus did the Knights of Petra settle to instead break the man’s hand, with the intention of sending a message to the March of Stassion. What these actions show is that what they did was;

 

UNJUSTIFIED. 

 

This message was received and answered by the men of the March in full. With a swift response, the March sent out scouts, in search of any of the so-called ‘powerful’ nobles of Petra, only to find a member of the von Theonus’ family. The man was unknown to many, seeing as the family breeds faster than rabbits. All the same, the men of Stassion brought the man with the same gesture as the Petrans had allowed Sir Tristan and his men into the city of Petra. While the Theonus lay in our halls, enjoying the liquor drank by the pissants, our guests from Veletz arrived. Sir Gaspard and his party entered the room and questioned the Petran noble’s presence. Upon providing the men with the answers they sought, there was but one remaining question— why does the noble still live. The response—“We waited for an audience”. And with it one less Petran noble lived. What these actions show is what we did was;

 

JUSTIFIED.

"Justified!" said Istvan, chuckling as he read the missive, giving out a heavy sigh as he stared at his shortsword getting sharpened by the swordsmith

“They got what they deserved!” The youngest of House Dresnay screamed happily. 

 

“Serves them right..” The Grand Lady of Aster Court Marie Capucine Dresnay muttered to her youngest daughter

Father Villorik prayed before God for the Stassion blood that was about to be spilled.

“A man got his hand broken so they killed someone?” A young Veletzian girl says as she reads the missive, looking rather confused. “Both sides jest clearly in w wrong… why could they niet just talk?” Yvaine Sonja mutters, feeling conflicted.

[i.uomini 2552]

"gutte gott shit has gone insane" he thought to himself from the interior of his favorite ship

he peeked out the window, wondering how many cannons would possibly fit upon it if he ever had the need... but remembering a long settled agreement, he decided against it, and knelt to prayer.

Azrael glared at the missive before tossing it within his fireplace, watching as it was reduced to simple ash. "These Valah come up with more creative stories and tales by the day. They should get some type of prize for it." He rolled his eyes before continuing his day.

[MisterBlitzkrieg 1357]

"Are we truly suprised that they act as barbarians when their former queen is a unfaithful cheater?" Hannes spoke to his comrades within Fort Ulrich "You reap what you sow and Petra has sown a generation of dishonorable bastards.."

[Chorale__ 2147]

The Third son of Queen Renilde I 'the Reformer' and uncle of the Queen Catherine, Prince Paul Alexander of the Petra looked upon the missive at tea atop a balcony of the Royal Palace seated in Vallagne, the Valley of Lambs.

 

"Ungrateful weasels, those Stassionites." the Lord Chamberlaine began to chuckle as he speaks to his mother, "That Frederick fellow has quite the gall, I shall give him that. But, only that- these Novellen had-beens are wracking mo nerves! If they make an attempt to plunder or further harm our People, I do so hope that they know what sort of force it is that they are perturbing. I pray deeply for the House von Theonus for their loss, and hope that these Pretenders get what it is they deserve for slaughtering fellow Canonists. Ave le Petrére."

 

 

After a hastily-written letter was sent off to the young Queen as well as a to the House von Theonus, the Valfleur retired carelessly and quite intoxicated from cactus green to his chambers.

"It seems blood runs so freely, perhaps we should begin painting streets red." Charlotte Henrietta said to herself quietly as she read the missive perched from the stark halls of the Hand of Horen.

[Pancho 4197]

Kenian ‘Fat ****’ sharpened his blade once more. "Stassion dogs. How have the valah fallen so far. I'll put them out of their misery just like their Orenian parents."

"They sure sent Stassion a message, huh. Maybe it's not the one they had intended." A proud Veletzian whom had been there for the execution would comment, wondering why on earth the Petrans would aggress and expect anything less. 

[YaBoyJay_ 418]

"Soft."

The Margrave who weren't around much had said simply after reading the missive, before returning to his slumber thereafter.

[Laeonathan 5889]

"Petrans know no honor, no loyality. Only theft of creative property." Raziel stated from his below home in the Celia'sul Winery out of Celia'nor.

[ReveredOwl 5639]

"They broke the hand of a man dressed in commonly recognised bandit attire and the Stassions are up in arms about it. The Aaunic King ought reign in his vassals lest they force his hand into war, but its better that then to suffer a coup for going against them, I suppose. Stassion and Veletz are one in the same." remarked Ser Andrik
