Zaerie 3414 Popular Post Share Posted April 20 Issued and averred by Her Royal Majesty AND TO UNITE THE HEARTLANDS The Heartlands, called in so many poems the hearth and home of the spirit of Man, has been from the earliest recorded histories more the home of war, besieged by hate and ancient grievances. Our nations have shared twin births and twin fates, alike in the grim realities of this world; born from the fiery collapse of the Novellen imperial reign, victimised by its own stupidity and foreign powers wishing to take from the bounties of what was once the crown jewels of an empire. We can permit it no longer. Herein we form for our shared peoples a new Confederation; to protect and uplift its people we shall forge our own legacy, away from that of foreign interlopers, would-be emperors, and the flames of war. Herein we form a new Heartlands. ARTICLE I - THE FORMATION OF THE Heartlander Confederation 1. The Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun and the Kingdom of the Petra hereby band together under one banner, that of the Heartlander Confederation. 2. King John I shall remain King of Aaun for the remainder of his Reign, and pass it solely to his son and Heir, Charles Reman Alstion, Lord of Alba. 3. Queen Catherine I shall remain Queen of the Petra for the remainder of her Reign, and pass it solely to her daughter and heir, Adalia Morgana Temesch of the Petra, Archduchess of Vallagne. 4. During the reigns of Charles Reman Alstion and Adalia Morgana Temesch of the Petra, the two lines shall be joined through marriage. This wedded pair, upon the deaths or abdications of their parents, shall rule together and pass the titles of the Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun, and the Kingdom of the Petra down their singular line, with the surname of Alstion. 5. Until the two lines converge through marriage, the two Monarchs shall rule over the Heartlander Confederation as one nation made up of two Provinces, the Province of Aaun and the Province of the Petra. ARTICLE II - THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT 1. The two Councils shall merge into one National Government of the Heartlands. 2. The King of Aaun and the Queen of the Petra shall head the government together as one entity, with disputes to be settled by either the Chancellor, or the Garmont Assembly. 3. The Heartlandic Council shall be made up of; The Lord Chancellor The Vice Chancellor The Grand Speaker The Lord Marshal The Lady Chamberlain The Commissioner The Grand Treasurer The Court Chaplain The Royal Confessor 3. The Garmont Assembly shall be reformed and nationalised to the entirety of the Heartlander Confederation. ARTICLE III - THE PROVINCES 1. The Province of the Petra shall be made up of all lands of the Kingdom of the Petra. 2. The Province of Aaun shall be made up of all lands of the Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun. 3. The two Provinces shall be able to be governed by Provincial Governments to handle local matters such as stewardry, Mayorship, etc. ARTICLE IV - DIPLOMACY AND PACTS 1. The diplomacy of the Heartlander Confederation shall default to pacts previously signed by the Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun. 2. All pacts signed solely by the Commonwealth of the Petra shall be considered immediately expired, or void. 3. All pacts going forward are to be signed off by both the King of Aaun and the Queen of the Petra. ARTICLE V - NOBILITY 1. The Nobility of the Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun and the Commonwealth of the Petra shall both be transferred to the Heartlander Confederation. ARTICLE VI - HOHKMAT 1. The City-State of Hohkmat shall be released from the Commonwealth of the Petra and declared independent. ARTICLE VII - EXIT CLAUSE 1. Should the two nations and peoples be unable to peacefully merge by the time of the grand-heir’s marriage, the Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun and the Commonwealth of the Petra can split into two entities once more. 2. If the two nations split, the title of the Heartlander Confederation shall be dissolved and unclaimed by both parties. 3. Once the two lines merge, the Exit Clause is to be null, and any that attempt to take the thrones of Aaun, and the Petra without the blood of both Alstion and Temesch of the Petra shall be considered unrightful usurpers. Her Royal Majesty, Catherine I, By the Grace of GOD, Queen of the Commonwealth of the Petra, Princess of Abrana, Marquise de Val d’Estenou, Countess of Temesch and Moere, Viscountess of Mies, Baroness of Garmont, Valfleur, Vallagne-en-Petra, Eagles Peak, Brasca, Resmore, and of the Phoenixspire, Protector of the Meadows, Defender of Liberty His Apostolic Majesty, JOHN ALEXANDER, by the Grace of GOD, Apostolic King of Aaun, Prince of Alstion, Duke of Vienne, the Lowlands, Balemena and Corazon, Count of Whitespire, Enswerp and Florentine, Baron of Blanchet, Protector of the Realm 75 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGH_FIRE 4131 Share Posted April 20 The Queen of Balian would read over the missive with quite some shock as she read it. "Perculiar... such was not expected, but I hope it works out for them" she then begins to think of a wedding gift for their grand heir, perhaps quite pre-emptively. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mothsthetic 422 Share Posted April 20 The young Petran princess reads the missive silently. Her heart pounds in her chest at the words “her daughter and heir Adalia Morgana”. Heir. She never saw this coming, truly. Seven years old, sitting on the dias of the throne room, watching her childhood blur. Perhaps she should have seen it. Too busy reading books on Templars and Dames to consider it. As she looks up from the missive, Adalia sees a view she may as well familiarize herself with. A view from the throne. A view from a Queen’s perspective. 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hom 570 Share Posted April 20 (edited) Atticus Reinhold lets out a grin as he sees the fruits of his labor come to pass. "A better future for us both- I believe it full heartedly." He then prepares himself for how much he will have to utter the words "No, It's just one singular nation", in the next coming years. Oh how the conspiracy theorists do love to get excitable.

Destructokeith 628 Share Posted April 20 Artel climbs from his study after hearing the news, he walks out the front gate and looks across the river, humming some as he thinks of what is to come "ich trust Cat to nicht let this end poorly" he turns the golden ring on his hand once before nodding and chuckling some "ich should go bother Atticus, gotts know he will nicht be able to rest for ein few years now" @Hom 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
