Jordchien 51 Share Posted January 16 The Rebirth of New Valenza Since S.A. 163 Issued to the people of Valenza, As the former duke, the supposed ‘protector’ of Valenza, spoke to the consul, the words that spilled out his lips were of extremist superiority. A discussion between the consul was overruled immediately, many thoughts that plagued the consul had been overruled before. As if the work of the Consul was a poison that was creeping throughout the land, threatening him, somehow, threatening his power. I, Ser Arthur Winters, General of Valenza, Lord Regent, one who has paid in blood and sweat for Valenza since the very beginning, gave a look of great disturbance.“Alessandria, is the power you hold over the Republic all you care for? Do you not appreciate our loyalty and friendship?” I questioned. A long silence followed. “Your loyalty, your work, Lord Winters, is essential. But only I know what is right for this country. Only I can grant power to others, I don’t have to, but I do. Valenza will fall without me.” Another silence, I stood stunned upon his insincere, delusional response. His insulting lack of faith in not just I, but those in our elected positions was evident now. “What I have done in my regency is what the Duke should be doing, do you expect me to continue doing all the work, while you continue as Head of State?” I asked. “Yes, I do, I want you to continue all your work as my Chancellor” Our former Duke wished power over the people, without the burden of work. That his decisions were final, no matter if the people voted otherwise. He cried democracy until it wasn’t in his vision. He cried democracy while only appointing an advisor, and clerk positions. He cried democracy until an appointed Lord Regent stood up for the people. Our former Duke was angry. Scared when someone spoke against him. “No more” The consul cried. After refusing to hear our prayers of respect, the consul had had enough. “Respect us, or you shall unburden the land of your presence” The former Duke accepted a peaceful banishment. As an old light fades, a new dawns upon us. Our colours now draped in unity blue and silver, not the greed of gold. I am issuing a call for all citizens of Valenza to join us for court, the date will be posted in the next coming weeks. There we will determine and elect our new head of state family, along with various other decisions that will create the future of this settlement. Also invited are neighbouring halflings and any others that wish to witness. Issued and signed, Ser Arthur Winters, Lord Regent of the Republic, Cavaliere of Valenza, Lord of House Winters etc. Ophelia Barden, Elected Lady Mayor of Valenza. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
