SIXTH DUMAPALOOZA: TO END THE FEUD

[MadOne 4945]

 

 

12 i Joma ag Umund 521 E.S.

 

HIS HOLINESS CAIUS I, High Pontiff of the Church of the Canon, Archbishop of Visigia, Successor of the High Priesthood of the Church, Supreme Pontiff of the Church of True Faith, Keeper of the Canon, Missionary to Aeldin, High Servant to the Exalted's Testaments, Sovereign of the Apostolic City, Humble Servant of the Faithful and Vicar of GOD does decree…

 

 

GATHER, my flock, and heed the words of your pious servant CAIUS under the LORD. Listen well, my brothers, sons, nations, and kin - you, Crows of Hanseti-Ruska in the north, Adrian lords in the south, strelts, warriors, those born of Karovic blood and all Canondom; Hearken my words and be still, for they are of great importance.

 

You have fought and clashed, sword in hand with enmity onto each other from forth since the rising of the sun in the East, to the setting of the West. That this title, which many of you hold in great esteem and the promise of its prosperity in a righteous Dumacracy now rests under the stewardship I, your humble servant in the Lord. This land and its title has made you into more, from the poorest strelt to a Lord, to the multiplication of your ilk in land and law and for their inheritance through your blood. But when the Lord has placed this copper crown atop your brow, it made you avaricious and in wrath, that you have reached forth onto your scabbards for the blade, which even to this day is stained with blood. Forasmuch as you have acted in wroth in the name of a hearth, so too must you break bread and come together in the name of that hearth, thus the wars Man wages onto himself must end, and now he must look outward for the shadow of Iblees that still plagues your law today; for in your clash with fellow man over that land and crown, you now lose grip on what flame still kindles in your land to the clutch of devilry, insidiously infiltrating and slaying your little ones, husbands and wives right under your nose. 

 

So now the stewardship of this crown rests atop my lap, as your humble servant, guide and teacher, and so it is that I have called your ilk to break bread under the banner of the Lord, which I have unfurled above my mitre and laurel. For a peaceable and righteous transition of this Crown that has come to prick at your soul, for the come and gone wars, for the ends that you may not cry this or that election to be illegitimate, the mandate to oversee this election has now come to rest under the hand of the successor of the High Priesthood. 

 

So, I say to you. Gather here, at my Apostolic City, and cast thy vote, that you may have a chosen Lord to reign over you as Duke. Summon your ilk, wives, husbands and little ones to this meeting which I will oversee. I have sent heralds unto you whom I name below, that you may sit in the honored seat of your fathers and do as they have done so in the Tapestry of Man, that I may be the bridge to the feuds that plague you.

OOC: FRIDAY 29th, 5PM EST AT THE HOLY SEE

IN NOMINE ADRIAE

 

Markus Marie Sarkozic

Exilic Duke of the Adrians, Count of Aldersberg, Protector of Dumacracy

 

 

GODANI JEST WIELKI,

 

 His Serene Highness, Ivan Aleksandr, Grand Prince of Kusoraev

 

Her Serene Highness, Nataliya Leopoldina, Grand Princess of Kusoraev

"And so it begins," mused the Hauchprinzen van Kusoraev.

[Nooblius 7965]

Markus Sarkozic has night terrors in the months preceding the event. Shall his folk's legacy be ripped away from them once more? Or shall the mandate of Heaven shine on the Adrians as it had at the Battle of the Steeples against the odds. He remembered advice he had given to Canonius, and repeated this mantra to himself in comfort; "Align yourself to the designs of GOD, and you shall know no failure. Any obstacle is just another thread of his tapestry..."

[crazedpudding 2512]

Somewhere in Koravia, a vase shatters and screaming ensues. With a sigh, Irena Kortrevich plans to find a capable adult to watch the children and leave them at home.

[ErikAzog 3575]

"False Vladovs." said a Sigmar Vladov var Goza, descendent of the Baron of Goza, making his way to attend the Duma to stop the imposters of his House before they dishonor the name of Adria further.

“Good of Markus and Ivan to agree to sort it out, yet will this Duma be the forefront of reconciliation or a chair throwing brawl?” The Bastard Knight questioned wearily, he was too tired by his age.

[MunaZaldrizoti 8037]

Ioanna Kortrevich, once Ioanna of Ba'as, was met with surprise as that invitation to the Karovic Duma was delivered into her hands. For all her work to ensure her identity remained secret, it seemed GOD and fate had seen to it's revelation. Alongside it, a letter from her own grandmother Princess Daria Rostampur, and a golden-wrought circlet. A familial request to that far-flung grandchild, an order to represent the interests of their princely house. It seemed the Crown of Ba'as still sought to have a hand in determining the fate of their lineage.

 

Her silvery gaze looked to her husband, Ser Leonid. "I must be a princess once more, it seems. GOD willing, this will not bring disaster."

Stefan Euler the Turtle Sage rests calmly in his newly constructed tavern, pondering on the future proceedings while holding onto his staff.

"Seventy five years, I haven't seen most of these people even step foot near Adria. Still, they deign to hold our fate in their hands and take our home away from us. Good on the pontiff to finally resolve this."

[Aengoth 2890]

A hermit strips a leach from the backside of a aging and half blind mule in the westerly swamps, carefully sealing it within a jar and shipping it to the Apostolic City with a letter attached "'Lo and behold, a noble vestige of honored crows blood. Leges sanguinis et fidelitatis. -K"

"Who are these people?" Asked and ancient Adrian nearing 300 years. "Barbanov? Ruthern? Novellen? Stop this Crow-nonsense." Albrecht shook his head, "I cannot believe I have defended these Haenser degenerates in the War of the two Emperors..."

[Rig 17591]

Alexander Montalt sends a letter to his father Sir Philip Montalt to make him aware of the proceedings.

[DancingZebra267 1626]

As Holy Ser Gerard read the missive, he'd sigh deeply, pondering why such disputes were even necessary. With a furrowed brow, he continued to hum a tune to himself.

 

 

 

 

[North 995]

"Wow!" exclaims Vasily, a descendant of Ivan 'The Outlaw' Barrow and also the strongest of his line.

[Franczhiz 4438]

Upon a rather late timing, Father Edmund realized something.. "What of the House Varoche? Are they not a historical contribution to the Duchy? So much so that they are able to vote within this Dumapalooza? and perhaps the next that will determine the future of Adria?"
