FOREWORD & INTRODUCTION 

 

One of life’s deepest fulfilments comes from creating new life, shaping a future that will surpass us and preserve legacies beyond our own. With each new generation, we plant the seeds of progress, hope, and possibility, building a bridge from the past to a brighter future. It is my own personal hope that with this announcement, the Princely house of Alstreim may continue to play its role in contributing to a greater purpose.

 

With such, it is with great joy that Wilhelm and I do hereby announce that within the halls of Ulrichsburg upon the early morning of the 8th of Horen’s Calling, 1889, was the Princely house blessed by the birth of not one, but two new additions to our family. Let it be known that furthermore they shall be known as:

 

THE HONOURABLE

FREIDRICH WILHELM

THE COUNT OF WHISPERWOOD

HER LADYSHIP

ROSALINDE CALLIOPE

THE BARONESS OF GODWINS CROSS

Friedrich Wilhelm, the newborn Count of Whisperwood, slept peacefully in his cradle while listening to old Waldenian tunes playing from his mother's musicbox...

Mark Anthony Alstion ate an apfelburg apple, the finest apples in all the lands, “More cousins, how delightful!” He said, a snap of an apple bite soon following.

The Vanderrecht Estate delivers gifts to the newborns - two wax-sealed bottles of bourbon from the final batch of Walter's Waldenian Whiskey, aged over forty years, with birthday wishes and explicit instructions not to unseal until the children reach their appropriate drinking age (twelve).

Laurene of Virdain smiled as she looked down at her grandchildren.

A clog churned down south on the continent, awaiting the ticks that followed. Falling into place, yet a particular presence was left oblivious. Somewhere did a pale face scrunch as it was basked in sunlight, the sickly humid air clinging silver locks to her skin. Octavia knew nothing of her future. Perhaps in passing, two blood red ravens may cross her way.

Wilhelm Vanderrecht smiled "Goodness is bestowed upon the earth through the birth of these children, let them know the way of the Vander, and the honour of my family."

Camilla read the missive with a magnifying glass. "They say every time an Alstreim is born, a darkspawn joins the world."
