A Petition to the Prince Stassion

[Nooblius 7965]

The following letter would be publicly available with ease within the Duchy of Adria or the Principality of Stassion, though any wanderer might spread rumors of what they had read.

 

TO THE HOUSE OF STASSION

 

Please, let those titles bound uniquely to the past House Sarkozic be destroyed for your own sake. To harbor them shall only invite hauntings of kvetching specters, or even worse aspiring realpolitik courtiers seeking to wear the legacy of the past like a coat made from a carcass’ skin. Particularly, the titles of Renzfeld, and Eastcliffe are requested to be put into abeyance. The former was abandoned by its own founders for Helena (and many may recount the infamy now associated with Lord Protector Adrian Leopold Orel, its founder), and the latter was the birthplace of Adria. Neither have any relevance to your realm nor culture, why do you write them in your titles? 

 

Please don't.

xoxo Markus Marie

PS: To be clear, Pompourelia is of no concern. It does not hold the uniquely historic ties of Renzfeld and Eastcliffe. However, I would advise you to let it fall into abeyance less the surprise appearance of the last descendant of Roswell appears, or anyone of particularly great merit. To specifically seek to sponsor a House Sarkozic with it beneath you would be an odd desire- why would you want to encourage the further dilution of an already much divided family? I imagine it is not one you hold. That would be weird.

Saskia van Aert, after having a spending the day wasting away after her family came home empty from Balian (more so from drinking thirty bottles), receives a copy from her friend Markus about this Stassion.

 

She read it over, and felt like strangling Markus to death. Perhaps cutting off his fingers one by one, then eating them in front of him. She thinks she might just do this the next time she has her meaty hands in the proximity with his giraffe neck.

Fyodor Kovachev affixes the message onto a tree in Rychwald, marking it with a double-barred cross. "Past be past." He'd begin. "Let the Stassion stand for their true value."

[!] A personal letter would be sent to the Duke of Adria shortly after the missive was published. 
 

To His Grace the Duke of Adria,

 

I do hope this response finds you in good health despite these turbulent times. I write to you to clear up any confusion or misunderstandings about the inheritance of these titles. 
 

The Baron of Renzfeld, a title that was held by my father, his father, their fathers before him, it has been passed down through the generations since the days of Joseph II in what is now a bygone era. 
 

The Baron of Montfort, while in our records it does hold its origins with the House of Sarkozic, it was given to the House of Temesch via a letter patent under my rule, though bearing the same name not relating to the ancient title at all. 
 

The Count of Pompourelia, as per our missive some Saint’s Days earlier if a Sarkozic of Pompourelia comes forth and swears themselves to the Marcher Coronet the title will be restored. 

 

SIGNED,

Richard I of the House of Stassion, Protector of the Marchlands

[Franczhiz 4437]

"Renzfeld travels back to before the era of Joseph II... I suppose it is the brainwashing of the leftovers of the Novellen dynasty that every title that came along with Joseph II is theirs to take.. Lets not forget how this Emperor made the reckless decision to make the Duchy of Adria hereditary and how even a Dumapalooza was not acknowledged as legal by his successors. I urge my cousin to consider the excuse of them  "But he is our ancestor" as invalid." Said a Sarkozic from the far away Republic of BANingrad

[sondher 797]

"Any Sarkozic who appears after all this time and presents themselves to the Prince as a contestant is not an ally - but a mere crow pecking at any shiny thing it can find. Then again, I suppose that would make the claimant more of a likely friend to Stassion due to their similarities - they both cling to any title they may have the slightest of ties to. Though it would be beneficial in the short term, a mutual pining for power is not a lasting alliance - Kasimir's descendants found that out for themselves. It'd be in the Prince's best interest to listen to Markus Sarkozic of all people," Caterina Sarkozic mused to herself whilst examining the beds of her nails.

[sanriu 734]

"Even Markus has some sense -Though that Prince of Nothing is quite ignorant he doesn't understand harboring things that DON'T BELONG TO HIM. Could have even the Duke of Adria advising him.." Franz Joseph III , then proceeded to place said missive onto his desk and with haste he began to write a letter. "There is no other Sarkozic who in their right mind would seek to claim one of those titles after they have - pushed the house that held them out from their lands with no real cause. If there is, then I could say that person must be insane to think they will be treated properly by anyone in that place." He rose from his chair exiting his secluded room.
