 DEATH TO TYRANTS, DEATH TO RENILDE

THE DEMANDS OF THE P.R.F

“We the disparate lords, gentrymen, and peoples otherwise of the Petra do pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor to the establishment of this Constitution upon the foundations of liberty and meritocracy. Let this charter be the highest law of the land, an inalienable contract for the formation of this Commonwealth of the Petra.” - P. Temesch, The Petrine Constitution, Preamble, 1885.

FELLOW CITIZENS,

 

THOSE GOODFELLOWS OF THE HEARTLANDS SEEM MOST CONFUSED BY OUR MOTIVATIONS. So let us make them clear. What follows are the demands of the Petran Republican Forces, the P.R.F, which may be accepted by either party in return for our blades. Let it be known the P.R.F may field a force of some fifteen-hundred seasoned knights and free militia. Any man or woman of the Confederation may pledge themselves to our host, and any leader of the despotic forces may seek us out for civil discussion. We shall consider your pleas for three Saint’s Days, no more. In this time we shall continue to wage just war against Monarchist forces and those common-folk who lick their boots.

 

INALIENABLE DEMANDS OF THE PETRAN REPUBLICAN FORCES

 

i. The Constitution of 1885 shall be restored in the Commonwealth of the Petra.

ii. The Archduchy, as established by Paul Salvian in the Edict of 1893, may remain as a vestige of monarchist tradition in the Republic. It shall be stripped of the powers of Regent, for it is they that gave way to the tyranny of the post-Salvian Commonwealth.

iii. The Queen-Emeritus, Renilde I, and her loyalists are to be put to death for the crime of High Treason, as consequence of their dissolution of Republican governance in the Riverlands.

iv. The P.R.F shall be permitted to continue counter-revolutionary operations until the day of peace.

 

IN THE CASE OF PETRAN COOPERATION

 

i. The P.R.F shall fight for the total independence of the Commonwealth from the Aaunish yoke.

ii. The P.R.F shall receive a sum of mina for the suffering we have faced at the hands of the Old Regime.

iii. The P.R.F shall receive supplies and logistical support to carry on the Revolution against despotic forces.

iii.i There shall be no peace with Aaun, nor their Marnan proxy, for they have invaded our home.

iv. Renildist forces shall be purged from the Legion of St. Godwin with prejudice.

v. All foreign brigands shall be expelled from the Commonwealth and Her armies.

vi. Queen Adalia shall relinquish all claims to the defunct Queenship of the Petra, and instead be installed as the aforementioned Archduchess.

 

IN THE CASE OF MARNAN COOPERATION

 

i. The P.R.F shall fight for the continuity of the Confederation in the interest of the Unity of Man.

ii. The P.R.F shall receive a sum of mina for the suffering we have faced at the hands of the despotic Aaunish regime.

iii. The P.R.F shall receive supplies and logistical support to carry on the Revolution against the Old Regime.

iv. The Heartlander Confederation shall submit to the following reformations:

iv.i The Order of the Petrine Laurel shall be recognized as the sole Knightly Order in the Confederation.

iv.ii The Legion of St. Godwin shall be dissolved, and a new host formed under joint P.R.F and Marnan leadership, wholly purged of traitorous factions.

iv.iii The city of Vallagne shall be surrendered to the Order of the Petrine Laurel, who shall convert it into a fortress to steward over the Province of Petra. 

iv.iv The city of Whitespire shall be wholly abandoned, or delivered into the hands of the Holy See.

iv.v A new capital shall be constructed on the border of the Petran and Aaunish Provinces.

iv.vi A single government shall rule over the Confederation, and it shall adhere to the Constitution of Paul Salvian.

iv.vii King Adrian shall relinquish all claims to the defunct Kingship of the Petra, and instead be installed as the aforementioned Archduke.

iv.viii Should the Alstion Crown reject any of these reformations, they shall be ousted by force of arms.

 

IN THE CASE OF TOTAL COOPERATION

i. Queen Adalia shall relinquish all claims to the defunct Queenship of the Petra, and instead be installed as the aforementioned Archduchess. As well as this, King Adrian shall relinquish all claims, and be appointed first Grandmaster-Chancellor of the reformed Commonwealth.

ii. The Heartlander Confederation shall persist, to be reformed as outlined in the Marnan contingency.

 

PETRA, FLOWING WATER! AVE! AVE!

. . . And many other Patriots.

Comrade Bertholdt summoned his loyal Fentling Stallion, a spark of excitement flickering behind his visor. The promise of payment stirred his anticipation, but the thrill of combat eclipsed even this reward, for to him, the joy of battle far outweighed the clinking of minae.

[Franczhiz 4437]

"Although I am fighting for the Marnan cause on the other end of this conflict, I have admiration for the diplomatic intelligence that the Petran Republican Forces possess. Certainly something that the old regime could learn from, if they have not yet surrendered." Stated Albert-Goulielmos de Rosius as he read the demands.

[Tremerus 1188]

Aurel von Theonus read the list of demands and let out a heavy sigh. He recalled the conversation the two men had while Aurel filled the old knight in on changes to the Commonwealth, and attempted to find anything that'd lead to bringing the two factions to a common ground.

 

He hoped there was room to negotiate, and begin to pen a letter once he settled on a satisfactory beginning.

 

"Let us come together to tear those banners down..."

[EtowTheSaltyCat 574]

Nicolas, the Elected Mayor of the Free City of Chambery would read this missive with a sigh. "Perhaps they should open a History book to understand why things change" Nicolas would say to himself " It wasn´t the Knights who rebuild Petra after we arrived in this worlds, it was the Peers of the Old Regime, I saw that and fough for them as Chanzlée to get the recognition they deserved, and now some man from the old guard wants to just turn back the clock as if nothing had happened?" Nicolas would shake his head "While I appreciate the love and commitment to the republican ideals, ideals we live by down in Chambery, there has to be some sort of middle ground to come together on. Restore the old while still recognizing those who gave their all rebuilding Petra from the shambles of the past world"

Nicolas would put down the missive into his notebook, catalogging it like all the others for future study for History books for the NGS Archives.

[Rig 17580]

Valerius Montalt eagerly penned his signature, before the lad hops back onto his horse to take the Heartlands by storm. He would not rest until the civil rights of his people were restored. Nor would he rest until the treacherous leaches who betrayed his family were put down.

The young Dame-Knight, and elected Lady-Mayor of Vallagne's lips would part to the gentlest sigh to be, a warmth wrest plain unto her cheeks.

" Whence ignorance bleeds the heart, of the kind, and beloved, do the heavens' truly weep.. "

Naught anger, contempt, or wroth wrest unto her cheeks, naught lest for the sympathy, plain unto her lips.

" If only they would have seen, the streets of Vallagne that day, whence they chanted & begged of the good Archduchess to take the crown therein, if only they would know the folly & ignorance of their speech, whence this is what the people truly willed.."

Dainted digits, would at last wrest the preserved missive from that day; in the city's archives, aside, her gaze wrest past the threshold of her windowed pane, unto the city's streets.

 

" I pray they see the beauty, the kindness, love, and virtue you, and the whole of the Petra, still, forever holds; I pray they chance to see that the Salvian legacy, lives, and breathes, yet, forevermore. "

Marie Charlotte clutched a copy of her work with ink-stained hands. Sir Stefan was not much of a writer, having only acquired the skill well into his fifties, and so much of this work had fallen onto her. “I pray that my cousins consider our most reasonable terms,” she muttered, as she lit a candle within the confines of their cramped cavern-home. “This bloodshed helps none.”

[Pureimp10 5691]

Ser Nikolas passed the missive to his fellow Marian knights.

 

"Imagine that, a republic of knights."

Within the Castle of Enswerp, Tiber mused over the latest reports of conflict - primarily occupied with Paul's death, causing him much turmoil as he rubbed away at the side of his head. Though not for long, for John and Emilio shove their way into his office with a swing of its door. The two nobles clear aside whatever Tiber had laid out upon the desk, and present to him the demands of Sir Stefan and his revolutionaries - to which he laughs abruptly, tensions finally dissipated as he slouched into his chair. 

 

He waves the paper back at two, and with certain determination, declared to them simply;

 

"We accept these terms in whole."

 

The Protector stands then, marching forth to inform the others, namely the rising Adrian, 

 

"The young man must be informed that he has the full support of the Brigade in the coming talks - I expect your best in the convincing of your royal brother." The Nauzican spoke to John in conclusion, destined to walk the Golden Path into a better future.

[Crevel 7557]

Robert Tiberius Alstion reads of the demands of the Republican force from his Bailiff residence. Despite the host's insistence that it is of the Petra, he can't help but notice that it seems inclined to favouring the destruction of the Alstionite monarchy of Aaun despite its inconsistent stance on the Brigade of Marna. He begins speaking aloud to the host of people gathered at Enswerp's tavern.

 

"The wickedness of the Petra has shown itself. Ye cannot trust their royals to bring law, ye cannot trust their knights to act in honour, ye cannot trust Petra's legionnaires to do their rightful duty! They've killed many of our own, an' for what?! They treat each other almos' as worse as they treat us. No more. Anyone caught affiliating with these Petrans that seek to depose our king will be drawn an' quartered!"

[ydegirl 2357]

Isabeau of Rosius, an onlooker to the conflict - and frankly, somewhat disinterested, rubbed the crucifix of her eyebrows. "Oh, lord almighty above... Who are these people?" She questioned, to no one in particular as Murielle shot out of a nearby shop, her hands full of trinkets and buttons and books and other odd pickings. The ignited Isabeau kept raving on and on about the P.R.F. as Murielle, the blubbery handmaid, hobbled down the streets of Whitespire, carrying a mountain of oddities and wares.

The True Duke of Petra, Ghelezas the Azdrazi, endorses this message.

"I am proud of my leal followers, my indomitable legion of TRUTHER forces..."

"The Tarcharman spoke of this..." Aetirius eSwatini (沙丘) murmured...
