EIN ENDGÜLTIGES URTEIL | A FINAL JUDGEMENT

Issued by Reinmar, Celia’nor and Koyo-Kuni

In the year of our Lord 1971

O THE PEOPLE OF RAVENSWOOD,

 

WE THIS DAY RENDER JUDGEMENT UNTO YOU, facetious folk of Ravenswood - for as the time-limit we, the Sovereigns of Reinmar, Celia’nor and Koyo-Kuni have bestowed upon you has since gone unanswered.

 

It has been nigh on a year since the Reinmaren moot voted unanimously in support of Prince Alfred & Leon’s Ravenswood excursion. And yet - despite the better judgement of all sovereigns involved, we still offered unto you a period to keep home, hearth, and kin, only then as a vassal of Prince Illthrak. You have yet chosen not to heed our words - and therefore we are left with little other choice. Once before - when we visited, we upheld our word to stay our swords whilst within your walls. Next time, we will not be so lenient.

AN EXCERPT FROM A REINMAREN TALE OF YORE,

Chieftain Witteric looked out amongst his people - for the moot had only now convened.. Bloodings came foremost - when men were sworn as tribesmen before the Chieftain. Next - were the topics of hot debate, for there came a challenge to the Chieftain’s power. A tribesman, blooded and sworn to his liege - stood before Witteric and accused him of a hefty crime.. It inevitably fell to the vote of the moot - of the unified Reinmaren that belonged to Witteric’s tribe.

 

 The vote was nearly unanimous against him. Those who rebuked such an answer and supported their Chieftain - were primarily the sworn warriors of Witteric. For his power had fallen with one simple vote - and the tool to reclaim it was laid out before him, hung by the belts of his warriors. But though he may have failed in his duties - a Reinmaren Chieftain does not simply deny the moot, for a denial of the moot - thereby rebukes your own people and falsifies the sanctity of the Landtag. Witteric unsheathed his blade - and the field, populated heavily with those kin of his, fell silent for a few moments. Then - the Chieftain hurled his blade to the grass, answering the words of his people.

 

For the moot always remains sacred - and the Reinmaren abide by it.

 

 

THE CONTEMPLATION OF PRINCE ILLTHRAK

Prior to his decisions and contact with Reinmar, his mind was filled with all the problems and weight of the realm; he knew in his heart something had to be relieved: The Northern Raiders of Alimere, The host of Harrowers, had to be combated and the abundance of Darkspawn within their walls. His mind became clear, and his thoughts became true; he knew that such could not continue uncontested and unhindered, So he wrote his letters and began his preparations to combat the servants of the Harrower and the Harrower himself; he started his plans to redeem Ravenswood for their sake.

 

With the men of Reinmar and Mali of Celia’nor, Illthrak marched upon Ravenswood; after some time, he eventually was able to meet with the Mali, who led those of Ravenswood; he expressed the needs of Celia’nor and Reinmar to secure the north against the Alimere in the form of ensuring the wood was no longer a fortification for their sworn enemy the Harrower. Instead, he was met with resistance and darkspawn dwelling in this meeting on the side of Ravenswood as well as their clear ties with darkspawn becoming apparent from recent attacks upon denizens of Celia’nor; at this point, he knew his negotiation and desire for peace would be rejected, for he had to make a choice; he had to act for his people.

 

 Thus it was decided by The Royarch, the Laurir and citizenry of Celia'nor has sworn an oath to bring safety to the rough and lawlessness of the North enabled by those within the land of Ravenswood. The Celia'diraar and her allies shall cleanse the north from their sins, and the people from both realms of Stars and Reinmaren blood will start the war against all our enemies, The Raiders of Alimere.
 

The war was imminent, and the Celia’diraar were ready. Illthrak spoke one phrase to them.

 

Do not Falter.

For we - the realms of Celia’nor, Reinmar, and Koyo-Kuni stand shoulder-to-shoulder with one another. And thereby we declare war unto you, the realm of Ravenswood. Let the Host of St. Johann, the Celiadiraar and Ashigaru of Koyo-Kuni stand as one, as we march upon your lands to purge it of overwhelming filth. For your Ibleesian-kin will be unable to defend you when your walls crumble before us.

[Timer 1439]

Nikolaus quickly scribbled an illustration of Reinmar's beloved princes before getting back to sharpening his rondel dagger.

[Javert 5594]

"GREEN AND BLUE I DRESS, EAGLE ON MY CHEST, GOOD TO BE A REINMAREN! GOT MY HEAD UP HIGH, FOR MY FLAG I'LL DIE, I'M PROUD TO BE A REINMAREN!" Ludwig Bishop recited the ancient Pro-Reinmaren chant as he heard the news from his house, alarming his pregnant wife and sleeping daughter. He quickly rushed to clean his equipment in preparation for war.

[BuilderBagel 826]

"Honor is everything, and this war shall serve as a display of my own!" exclaimed Leon, Prince in Reinmar, as he gathered his steed, arms, and armor.

[beetle 2787]

"And I shall fight alongside our Reinmaren brothers and sisters," Eriantiel comments to her father, cleaning her sword. @HugoAntero

[Qizu 4039]

Franz Stroheim gazed off towards the winter wastelands before him. He pondered the idea of war as a cold wind embraced his form. "My first war, battle is upon me for the first time. I must make my family proud."

[Toffee 1135]

Princess Adalfriede polished the armour of the Auserwal, rendering it to a high gleam. No doubt by the end of this it would be splattered with the blood of the enemy; if they even took to the field.

[crazedpudding 2139]

Frederica Barclay approached Adalfriede bearing new polish and cloth, standing dutifully nearby as the Princess worked.

[ViewerDiscretion_ 124]

Sir Varik von Wesenburg hones his sword's blade to a razor's edge, grinning with each swipe of his whetstone.

"Victory awaits," he muses to himself. 

[Shadow2k 501]

The Stroheim Patriarch dawned his panoply of war as he made for the training pits, in preparation of the conflict to come. "Age deprives me of much and leaves melancholy in its stead, but I know I shall never tire of delivering judgement onto bastard heathens." Father Gregor said, to no one in particular.

[Ramon 3965]

"This might prove to be interesting. Saint Johann pray for us."

Spoke Manfred Barclay, his old warhammer, gone untouched for many years, made ready for the fighting to come.

[indiana105 2140]

"There are more Princes marching on this place than there are men living in it," said the uncrowned King of Hanseti and Ruska to his Ayrikiv pageboy. 

[Cryptic 30]

Using his spear as a bar, Artur began to do more chin-ups! "For Reinmar.", the boy whispered quielty under his breathe for each and every time his chin goes above the spear handle.

[Morphine 458]

Roland von Wesenburg began sharpening the kriegsmesser he had not used in battle since the Frankland Campaigns. The time drew nearer for war.


The Rooks prepare for another game.

 

=============================================

 

The young squire, Albert Barclay, practices his sword dancing, hoping to impress Sir Varik in the field of battle.

[Solour 370]

"I do not fear my duty. If they would usher in those of the Dark, then with my all shall I oppose them."

 

Sir Rafael Stroheim began to hone both his will and weapon, in preparation to eradicate the Darkspawn and those who harbor such atrocity.
