LETTER FOR THE VILLAGE OF SÓLGAARD | Eiriksstanda IAÁ, 501

[Elennanore 2824]

Letter for the Village of Sólgaard

ORDERS FROM THE HIGH HEARTH

Issued by the High Keeper Ellenore av Eiriksdóttir, on the 9th of EIRIKSSTANDA, IAÁ 501

 

 

AND SO IT SHALL BE, BY THE WILL OF THE FATHER,

As High Regent of the House of Ruric, I, Ellenore av Eiriksdóttir, write personally this letter to

Conan av Arichs, Rurikkid Son - due to his service to the Kingdom of Norland & the betterment of the Realm. ‘By your scars and your deeds, you shall be judged.’ And so it is by Conan’s deeds that he has been judged for all his glory.

 

Here, the High Hearth & the House of Ruric recognize the accomplishments of Conan av Arichs.

I. Victorious Holmgang, against the abominable yet honorable Fel-King Jormunharr Ingmorensson, retrieving the High Keeper’s personal cloak.

II. Victorious battle against the abominable forces of the Long Dark, ensuring that the Dawn might rise another day.

III. The establishment of the Motte of Sólgaard and the fostering of its peoples.

 

With that, Conan av Arichs is officially known as Conan-Thegn av Arichs, Laird of Sólgaard. In the Kingdom of Norland's storied history, Thegns have often been noted & detailed in the sagas of clans, religiously scribed into the various litanies, hymns, & stories of the Red Scroll, the sacred writings of Thoromir & his sons. Thus, it will be known that Conan-Thegn deserves all the honor & praise that was equally given to his ancestors, so it shall be given unto him.

 

To this end, Sólgaard is fully recognized as the rightful claim of Conan-Thegn av Arichs & his

people, the Norns. Their land shallstretch along the Bay of Seals for its entirety to establish the Easternmost demarcation. Their land shall go up to the great cliffs of the Wykks & end justly there so that the Northernmost border is known. Their land shall spread Westward toward the Sunshard-pit and end there, making their Westernmost reach known. Finally, their land shall end at the ruins Southern of their motte & bailey, firmly establishing the four corners of Sólgaard’s lands.

 

The Tithe shall be appropriately asked of Sólgaard every year upon Edvardsawnd (Edvard’s Ire), duly collected

by the Master of Coin - twelve Marks and a Half Mark. Every two years, the meat of the Seal or the Mammoth shall be asked for, & such shall be cooked to hold a feast in Vjardengaard.

 

AND SO IT SHALL BE, BY THE WILL OF THE FATHER,

Ordained by the High Hearth before His most Sacred Flame, Ellenore av Eiriksdóttir, High Keeper of the Sacred Flame, Master of the Order of the First Flame, Righteous Servant of the Red-Lord

[FashionBeard 225]

Brom Tardif of Solgaard begins cutting marks in half for the future twelve and a half mark tithes upon a log used for splitting.. with an axe. "By the all father, who decided a mark could be cut in half." He said in frustration, whilst maiming the coin.. "Ulfric! Your turn!" he'd yell out, setting the axe on its stump as he went off for a horn of ale.
