Ramon 3966 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2023 ABDANKUNGSURKUNDEWRIT OF ABDICATION Issued by the PRINCE OF SUTICAOn the 9th of Tov and Yermey of 508 E.S. TO THE PIOUS MEN AND WOMEN OF REINMAR, HAENSE, AND WHOMEVER THIS MAY CONCERN,For twenty-eight years I have held the titles of my predecessors, since the abdication of my father, and passing of my grandmother, who inherited the titleage from Saint Johann, and so on. And though I do not doubt that the diligence that flows the same in all Reinmaren still flows through me, in this time I have grown tired, and as of now been occupied with more private matters as my children come of age and prepare for the next stages of their life.The Princely House Barclay has always recognised the importance of acknowledging the time to step down and abdicate, to allow diligence to course through the head of the house at all times, and it is for that reason, judging my son and heir to have successfully completed his trials and proven himself of adequate standing to take up after me that I, Manfred II of House Barclay of Reinmar, hereby announce my abdication as Prince of Sutica, Duke of Reinmar and High Chief of the Reinmaren upon the publication of this writ, to be referred to from this point onwards as His Lordship, Manfred Johann Barclay, the Duke-Emeritus of Reinmar. In doing so, I hereby pass my family’s respective titles down to their rightful heirs:I. The Principality of Sutica and the Duchy of Reinmar alongside its subsidiary titles to be transferred to my eldest son, Alfred Barclay, to be referred to from hereon as His Princely Grace, Alfred Barclay, Prince of Sutica, Duke of Reinmar, and so forth, so forth. II. The High Chiefdom of the Reinmaren, to be transferred to His Serene Highness, Ferdinand Barclay, Grand Prince of Minitz, as the eldest of the Reinmaren Chieftains.May GOD bless them come what may as He has blessed me these past twenty-eight years.WER RASTET, DER ROSTET GOTT MIT UNS, His Princely Grace, Manfred Johann Barclay, Prince of Sutica, Duke of Reinmar, Count of Freimark and Kretzen, Baron of Madvon and Freising, Lord of Sankt Johannsburg, High Chief of the Reinmaren 32 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandhi 2719 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Alfred returned home to Reinmar - after meeting with the Duchess Valwyck & her family. A Landser von Reinmar delivered to him the writ of abdication. He let out a simple, seemingly refreshed sigh - before turning off to find his new Ducal Quarters.. "You did well, father - it'll be hard to follow in your footsteps. Wer Rastet - Der Rostet." 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazedpudding 2139 Share Posted December 18, 2023 An aged Josefina Barclay sat in her rooms, a maid having brought her the writ of abdication. Carefully, she tucked it into a well-worn and well-loved box. "Dearest Manfred, mea dear son, Yam so proud of vy." 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digit_005 250 Share Posted December 18, 2023 “GOTT has blessed dein rule, now du may rest easy knowing Reinmar is still in gutte hands, mein friend. WER RASTET, DER ROSTET!” Called Klaus von Berkhoven, having read the writ. He then slammed a fist to his chest, a Reinmaren salute for the now Duke-Emeritus. The youngest son of Manfred II, Albrecht Ludwig Barclay read the writ as a servant had brought it to his room. “GOTT bless du, vater, und GOTT bless Alfie’s reign.” The brunette stated as he rose from his desk and looked to the Reinmaren banner hanging on his wall, giving it a salute. “WER RASTET, DER ROSTET!” 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sondher 759 Share Posted December 18, 2023 After receiving her mother's approval to marry the heir to Reinmar, Teodosia Baruch wearily examined the Duke's abdication letter. Her bony fingertips gently traced the lorraine necklace which dangled from her neck out of anxious habit, "May GOD bless them both," She whispered, the faintest traces of pride gracing her lips on behalf of the two Barclays. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadazio 332 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Fr. Frantzisko can still vaguely remember Kazimir Jumbo, the bravest of Barclay soldiers. A frown furrows his brows as he notes some strange similarities between the late Jumbo and Alfred Barclay... "He's back..." the Bishop mutters. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DahStalker 2858 Share Posted December 18, 2023 As done before with her grandchild Katrin, a long forgotten scyfling sought to sit nearby an opening in the clouds, looking down. She thought to sit for awhile and ensure all was well for her beloved grandson as he stepped up to a mighty mantle. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oijin snaps his fingers to keep Brandt in the realm of the living. How he lives passed them all hurt him so. "I've become an elf. . ." 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
