It is the Crown's belief that it is in the best interest that the House of the Petra chart a new course apart from the olden Novellens lest we find ourselves stuck pacing at the end of an era, unable to move forward. Our history is something that I personally take little pride in reminiscing on, being the legacy of dictators. We are the remnants of an Empire built upon the work of many and the subjugation of far more. What glory is there left to gain from these rotting pages of history? Repeating your ancestors' mistakes rarely have a new outcome the second, third, or fourth time around. I do not intend to repeat these mistakes, nor do I intend to let the long-dead ancestors of my house lay claim to what we have become simply because we are their descendants. 

 

The House, Crown, Commonwealth, and River of the Petra diverged from the path the Novellens walked some time ago. Our destiny became our own upon the founding of our Archduchy, and the building of our unique identity. To put us simply to the origins of the blood thrumming through our veins is a disservice to our own work and legacy. We are our own. Our own land, our own nation, our own work and our own dynasty- and it is time that was made clear instead of the silent and slow disuse of the name.

 

The Crown of the Petra will continue to reject the use of the name Novellen. It may be our history, but our legacy is none but our own. We are the descendants of Paul Salvian, who presided over a House that had been compelled to abandon the usage of that name even before the founding of the Commonwealth, and only his descendants may hold sway to our Crown. We have not used the name Novellen since long before my own birth, and we shall not be resurrecting its use. As a symbol of this resolve, the Royal House shall henceforth strive to honour the wishes of Paul Salvian in once again taking up the proper surname of Temesch of the Petra.

 

Long live the Royal House of Temesch of the Petra

Long live the Commonwealth

Her Majesty, Catherine I, By the Grace of GOD, Queen of the Commonwealth of the Petra, Marquise de Val d’Estenou, Countess of Temesch and Moere, Baroness of Garmont, Valfleur, Vallagne-en-Petra, Brasca, and of the Phoenixspire, Protector of the Meadows, Defender of Liberty

"Long Live House Temesch." Adrian stated simply before retreating back to his vacation home.

[Chorale__ 2147]

Prince Paul Alexander Temesch of the Petra-Valfleur smiles warmly as the missive was released,

"Ave the House of the Petra, GOD save our Queen." the patriotic Duke sounded, with a Petran salute proffered towards the flag hanging in his Royal apartment.

“Finally.” Renilde Helena Temesch finally breathes a sigh of relief, the burden of being shackled by the Novellen curses and their mistakes being a weight off her shoulders.
