ET THIS DOCUMENT SERVE AS MY LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT.

 

I, ADALFRIEDE OF HEXENWALD, being sound of body and of mind, hereby leave the following possessions to the people so named herein.

 

My husband, PRINCE LEON II —  I leave to you my skull collection, in the hopes that it will continue to be displayed. I also leave to you my ant farm; may watching them keep you company.

 

My loyal hirdman, ISOLDE VON KANUNSBERG — To you I leave Juliaskjöld, to be used by you in your defence of Princess Frederica and Prince Leon and passed down to a shieldmaiden you deem worthy. I leave as well my spear, for the same purpose. 

 

My daughter, PRINCESS FREDERICA I — To you I leave the Fürstinsbrok, a symbol of Reinmar and the fierce rulership of Reinmaren women. I bid you to wear it for your reign and pass this heirloom through female rulers and consorts as a sign of office. I also leave to you the contents of my wardrobe, to be done with as you see fit.

 

My son, PRINCE BRANDT BARCLAY—  I refuse to believe you are gone from this world. To you I leave my runecarving tools, if you ever come home to claim them.

 

My daughter, ROSALYN VON EHRENWALD —  I leave to you my Lorraine cross, to be worn by you during your lifetime, your daughter Runhild during her lifetime, and then returned to the Barclay archives upon her death.

 

My daughter, JOSEFINA VON WESENBURG — To you I leave Guldaur Adalfriediskja, my ouroboros earrings, to be worn during your lifetime and returned to the Barclay archives upon your death. I also leave to you my dirk, which was given to me many years ago by my mentor Ser Malcolm, who taught me to fight with it as I taught you.

 

My son-in-law, ESTMUND VON EHRENWALD — To you I leave an alchemical potion gifted to me at my coronation.

 

My grandson, ERWIN BARCLAY — To you I leave my pipe Gildfaaesten, carved by the hands of Adelmar von Kanunsberg, which reminds me of Hexenwald.

 

My granddaughter-in-law, WILHELMINA BARCLAY —  I leave to you Das Diadem von Minitz, which I have worn since my coronation in 1968. It is my wish to see you crowned with it at your own coronation, and all consorts who come after you.

 

My granddaughter, RUNHILD VON EHRENWALD —  I leave to you the flask of glacial whispers, which I stole from you on your nameday.

 

My sister, GERTRUDE BARCLAY — To you I leave my diamond cascade earrings, which were a gift from my daughter Josefina.

 

My niece, CORINNA RADEMACHER —  I leave to you a silver charm wrought in the shape of a skull, to remind you of your proud lineage.

 

My granddaughter, PRINCESS OLIVIYA OF HANSETI-RUSKA —  I leave to you a doll made in my image by Jay Amaranth, to remind you of me.

 

My friend, JAY AMARANTH —  I leave to you a mysterious scroll, hoping you will find its meaning on your adventures. Also; cut your hair.

 

My friend, YVAINE VAN LEUVEN — To you I leave my fishing equipment, as a reminder of those months you spent in the lands of Reinmar and the lessons learned there. It is also my wish that you share my secret and my thoughts with the Lady Palatine, to do with as she will.

 

In relation to the MASQUE OF NAFIS YAR —  It is my wish that this relic be displayed in the trophy room of der Heidepalast and entrusted to the care of the next Barclay who bears the title Lord or Lady Vandalore.

 

In relation to the ELECTORATES OF MINITZ AND REINMAR-SUTICA —  It is my desire as Lady Vandalore to see these Electorates of the Waldenic Diet merged into one upon the ascension of my grandson Erwin to the sole leadership of the Reinmaren peoples. Let this Electorate be known simply as Reinmar; unified forevermore.

 

In relation to the OFFICE OF THE LAWSPEAKER —  It is my desire that my son-in-law Estmund von Ehrenwald be raised to the position. He has trained under me as a Lawman for many a year and it is my belief that he will uphold the Grand Kanun with diligence.

 

In relation to the PRISONER LUKAS VON KRETZEN —  It is the duty of next Lawspeaker to mete out punishment, however, given that he will have spent twelve long years in the Kretzen prisons, it is my desire as Lawspeaker to see him sentenced with a pilgrimage to holy sites. Let the sun shine golden on his face and cleanse his addled mind of folly.

 

In relation to MY HORSE, LON —  It is my wish that Lon, after many years of serving me faithfully, is gently put to death and burned with me upon my funeral pyre, so that we might ride forever through the lands of the ancestors.

 

In relation to MY GOLD —  It is my desire to see all gold from my personal coffers placed into the Reinmaren treasury.

[Timer 1978]

Erwin Barclay let out a few weepy tears as he read the will, which was uncommon for the man. "It is hard to believe she is truly gone, and so soon, she will never meet her grandchildren on this earth."
