A levy would be seen marching into Veletz west bound from Castle Brasca, their numbers (if one would have to guess) between two hundred to four hundred able bodied men and women. A chant could be heard, loud and clear, as they march into the city streets of Veletz:

“We will fight! We shall slay those who threaten our land!” 

These men and women would be seen wearing a purple tabard, bearing the black Lorraine Cross. A bannermen would be seen on each flank of the march carrying the banner of the man who united them.

 

 

 

One man on top of his horse would be seen above the rest of the men. He would bare the armour, the same as the rest he had brought with him. It seemed the whole town would be staring onwards at the spectacle. A Veletzian Soldier would approach the man on horseback, halting him, his hand lay upon his sword before asking him: 

” Who do you serve?” 

The mounted man responds:

“I serve Veletz and her people.” 

 Dismounting the horse and handing it off to one of the levy men; he stood in front of the Levy. Sir Gaspard would catch word of a force marching into Veletz coming down quite quickly from the Castle within Winburgh. A slight grin upon his face as he saw the armour and knew the man behind the Helm who stood in front of the Levy.

 

“Eja Gaspard.”

Unstrapping his helmet, Bo Amador revealed his face. 

“I have brought you a fighting force of brave men and women who wish to serve myself and serve for the betterment of Veletz.” 

 

“With this levy I pledge to loyally serve you until my last dying breath. I would like to announce that all that my family resides within Haense except for a few kin who have recognized my claim as truth. Over the centuries of my family loyally serving their crown, they have accused, ridiculed and refused to give them their rightful ancestral titles of the Dukes of Crestfall. Instead they plot and scheme to keep the family weak. So that the King can use them as a simple doll to throw away when he becomes bored of them. I shall nae stand for this anymore. I hereby declare that I will not give up my GOD given name. If any of my kin feel the same. You are welcome to join me with open arms, all will be forgiven. If you wish to fight me on this matter.” 

 

Taking a long pause, Bo would look back towards his brave men and women within the levy.

 

 “I invite you to slay me where I stand.”

 

The men and women chanted out:

 

“AVE BO! AVE VELETZ!”

Reading the missive her family had recieved, Poppiya looked it over in disbelief.

 

"Did ea miss a chaper?" she asked toward her brother, Henrik @critter, "in the same day vy have disowned one, ag now the one disowned has invited us to..-" Pausing, she read over the letter again, "-join Veletz? Has this war sent people mad?"

A certain Lady Brasca smirked in amusement as she overlooked the marching men. Her own bannermen prepared in turn, not ready to give up their home.

"Ser Rassvet, moy must neit let moy own fall behind."

"Another exiled and anathema boy, fallen to the Deceiver," Friar Villorik sighed. He watched the morning's pale light gleam on his Ruskan sabre, and the words of the Scroll of Virtue inscribed on the steel. "Another one to be cured of greed and malice."
