INTRODUCTION

EINLEITUNG

In convening its fifth session, the Ninth Waldenic Diet has made history as the most prolific Diet. No other Diet has convened more than four times. This was a session of happy tidings, congratulating Friedrich von Augusten on his House’s elevation to the Margraviate of Schwyz within the Petra and awarding Erwin Barclay with a horsehair brooch, a symbol of coming of age in Reinmaren culture. However, this session also brought grave tidings of the fate of the Chantry of Calliopeburg.

 

The Lady Vandalore brought news that the chantry had burned to the ground, and that the holy relics of Saint Calliope were unaccounted for. She did, however, manage to recover two statues from the ruins; the likenesses of Saint Nafis and Saint Otto, both of which are on display outside of the Temple of Waldenic Martyrs in Kretzen. The Lady Vandalore will be embarking on a journey to Fausten to enquire after the missing relics.

RECOGNISED FAMILIES

It is customary for recognised Waldenian families to sit upon the Waldenic Diet but not be considered Electors. Usually, these families are houses that were once of prominence, and are granted a singular vote until their Electoral status can be confirmed again. This is in comparison to the two indivisible votes granted to Electors.

 

The Diet voted whether to formally invite the families of Vourkehardt, Weiss, and von Leopold to sit as recognised families with the opportunity to earn Electoral status.
