Sefardi 1503 Popular Post Share Posted April 23 Spoiler 4th of Sigismund’s End, 1973 In the course of my lifetime, I have been a devoted member of my family, of the church and of the Kingdom of Aaun, but there comes a time in a young man’s life in which he must decide his own future. For me, it has become necessary to dissolve the familial bonds that connect me to House Alstion and to Aaun, the kingdom of my birth. Due to the nature of the establishment of the Confederation and the oversight by its founders, I set forth to create a separate station similar to the one passed onto my father. I make this proclamation as I divorce myself from my familial governance to establish the state of Ascalon. “Eternal Flame, Guiding Hand” House Whitespire | Ascalon Enactment and Proclamations: 1. Foundation of the House of Whitespire: Let it be known that from now on, a new lineage shall be founded: the House of Whitespire. This house shall be headed by James Marcel I, who will take the name of the house and no longer be styled as James Marcel Alstion. 2. Governance: House Whitespire shall hold dominion over the newly established state of Ascalon and its territories. The primus inter pares of Ascalon will pass onto the first born of James I of Ascalon to rule after him. 3. Territorial Claims: House Whitespire and Ascalon shall settle on the eastern coast of Aevos, its three islands serving as the foundation to The White City, and the crownlands of Ascalon. 4. Declaration of Independence: The State of Ascalon, from its inception, will function as an independent entity under the stewardship of House Whitespire. 5. The Founding Houses: House Whitespire and House d’Anpalais will forever be recognized as the founding houses of the state, and thus be afforded immediate peerage, which may never be revoked. 6. Peers of the Realm: Recognizing the need for a council of wise and noble individuals, a body of peers shall be established, drawn from the most esteemed subjects. These peers shall serve as advisors to the ruler, providing counsel in matters pertaining the welfare of the state. 7. Oaths of Allegiance: All officials, knights and common folk of the state shall swear an oath of fealty to House Whitespire, and to uphold the principles of the state. These oaths shall bind them to serve not only their liege, but the common welfare of their fellow citizens. In the establishment of Ascalon and House Whitespire, James Marcel of House Whitespire solemnly pledges to protect the welfare of his people, and uphold the rights and dignity of all under his rule. Given under my seal this day, the 4th of Sigismund’s End, 1973. James Marcel 46 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
