[Timer 1978]

 

 

ISSUED BY THE PRINCES IN REINMAR

In the year of our Lord, 2004

 

 

ÖHNE UND TÖCHTER VON REINMAR,

GATHER HEED, sons and daughters of Reinmar, and lend ear to the words of your Prince, Erwin, who does now sit as chieftain and master of the mountains and rivers. Listen well, sons and daughters of the Ferdenwald and clans of Reinmar; ye knights and men-at-arms who gird yourselves in the harness of glorious battle; and ye robed priests who chant the Canon’s truth before the altars of our faith. Hearken, too, O Hallowed Pontiff, whose prayers call down Gott's blessing upon us all. Let all who bear the blood of Hörn and Theoderic heed this proclamation.

Lo! The hour has come when I, Erwin, son of Reinmar, must take upon my brow the crown of my forefathers and tread the path all chieftains have tread. By the decree of the ancestors, the will of the Kanun, and the grace of the Almighty, I, Erwin of the line of Theoderic and Gelimar, do declare unto all the tribes and clans of Reinmar that a day of rejoicing fast approaches upon our hall and hearths. The mantle of Prince and Chieftain of Minitz, borne by the steadfast hands of my forebear, my hallowed grandfather, now falls upon my shoulders. With it comes the sacred duty to lead our tribe alongside the venerable Frederica, my beloved mother. By the will of our tribe, I shall ascend as Prince in Reinmar, master of our lands, protector of our ways, and servant to the Lord, who does guide us. In this same hour, my beloved wife, Wilhelmina, shall also rise, and by my side, she will take upon her the noble title of Princess of Minitz, as my consort.

Let it be known to all kin and kith that I shall don the crown of Venerable Leon before the eyes of the Almighty and the folk of Reinmar, wrought in the fires of tradition and sanctified by the prayers of the Church. Beneath the Grand Altar, where the spirits of our ancestors dwell, and before the Mercyflame of Owinrich that burns eternal, the coronation shall be held, that all may witness the binding of my Schwur to the land and to you, my kin.

Mark this well, O tribesmen of Reinmar: on that day of the Lord Gott, as the bells toll and the horns sound, let all come forth. Let the warriors who bear the seax and the spear stand tall among the green and blue banners. Let the elders and the young walk forth to see the crowning of their Prince. Let the priests sing aloud the hymns of the Canon and bless the earth we tread. For this is the day when we, the people of Reinmar, renew our Schwur to one another, to our faith, and to the ancestors who came before us.

[OOC: To be held on Sunday the 1st of December, at 4 PM EST.]

Frederica smiled proudly down at the missive that lay on her desk. "It feels like he was small enough to fit in my arms just yesterday. How proud I am."

Wilhelmina lingered in the quiet of her chamber, her eyes fixed on the empty crown stand across the room. She cradled a small wooden Lorraine cross in her hands, her fingers tracing its edges as she whispered invocations to Saint Julia, the rhythm of her prayers steadying her thoughts.

Manfred begins to polish his armor and check every inch of his uniform as he prepares for the ceremony. “A new era shall come from this the changing of the guard.” He thought to himself as he continued to touch up his uniform.

"A new age dawns on our Reinmaren cousins. A better prince than my coz they could niet ask for." remarked the Grand Prince Karl in Haense to himself as the invitation made its way into his hands. "Now what present can I get him that'll annoy the living shit out of him though?"
