Upholding the Legacy of Velenic Nobility

 

5th of The First Seed, 1967

 

Administered by

THE MARCH OF VELEN

The March of Velen has unanimously resolved to entrust a sacred charge to the sole male scion of the Margrave and Margravine. This esteemed mandate was conceived upon witnessing the recent investiture of the honorable Leufroy Otto von Reuss of Velen @TwistedFries, a child of youth and nobility, who assumed the mantle of squire under his distinguished progenitor, Siegmund Otto, the Ritterkommandant of the Reformed Vandorian Order and the Order of the Black Eagle. 

 

Henceforth, as the esteemed sister, the illustrious Countess of Revedin, ascends to the helm of the March following the venerable Siegmund's tenure, young Leufroy shall ascend as the guardian par excellence of the Velenic Plateau, vested with the title of Baron of Raesfeld.

 

However, preceding his assumption of the Baronial title, Leufroy is bound by the solemn duty to demonstrate his mettle to the Margravial seat. This requires the restoration of the Aschenwald to its former glory, rooted in new soil. Only upon the successful completion of this noble quest shall Leufroy be deemed worthy of the esteemed title of Baron of Raesfeld, and assume the sacred responsibility of safeguarding the newly revitalized Aschenwald, much akin to the hallowed Protectors who preceded him, tracing their lineage back to the venerable Leopold the First.

 

Once duly anointed as Baron, Leufroy shall be granted the privilege to establish a stead upon the hallowed grounds of the Velenic Plateau, with the solemn assurance that his noble title shall endure through the annals of time, subject to the approbation of the future Margravial seats and a lineage proven through differing quests. 

☩ VELENA AETERNA EST. ☩

[TwistedFries 550]

Leufroy Otto von Reuss quickly learned of his extraordinary birthday present as a wave of emotions then washed over him all at once. However, one of the stronger emotions that he felt in that moment was the feeling of joy. "W-What! I-I can't believe mutter and vater are trusting me to take this on... I-I will make them proud!" The twelve-year-old shouted at the top of his lungs as his voice rang out from the top of his tower.

As he looks on from the Seven Skies above, the father of Velen, Leopold Ulrich von Reuss smiles down to see his descendants follow in his footsteps, he wishes the young squire of his blood the best in his quest! @zuziee @TwistedFries
