𓄿⠀III. PERSONAL NOTES

SIGMUND LUDOVAR

Sigmund, my eldest son, and my legal Heir, I have watched you grow up from a little boy to a respected man. Hold your head up high my son, keep looking towards the future, and be a beacon to the rest of the house to look up to. You’ve done me proud, and despite your setbacks, I know in my heart that you will continue your hard work as the new Patriarch of the House.

 

LUDVIK LUDOVAR

Ludvik, my son, and fellow businessman, I’m blessed to have seen the progression of your journey into the financial sector of the Kingdom. I am glad to see one of my children be so inspired to take after me, and partake in the same field of work as me. I wish you luck in your future endeavours, and hope you maintain your interest, forever grasping for more.

 

OTTO LUDOVAR

Otto, you’re definitely the most unique of my children, and watching you grow up has been like a ride like none other. From getting kidnapped in your youth, to your rebellious phase, it’s all been a wild journey. Despite everything, I love you my son, and hope that wherever you may be, Godan is watching over you, and you know that your family will always be here for you, even after my passing.

 

RENATA LUDOVAR

Renata, my strong daughter. Despite being raised surrounded by brothers, you showed them that you are truly tough, and wouldn’t take any of their shenanigans. You’ve grown up to be a fine lady, and one who can hold her own in a fight. I wish you luck in your endeavour towards strength beyond strength, keep at it. 

 

STEFAN LUDOVAR

Stefan, my dear first Grandchild. By the time you’ve read this, hopefully I’ve gotten to spend many years with you, and formed many memories with you. If not, I hope you read this when you’re older, so that you know that I love you dearly my Grandchild. Although I haven’t the faintest idea what the future awaits for you, I’m glad to see the succession is safe before my passing.

 

PETYR LUDOVAR

Petyr, my cousin, you have my thanks for everything you’ve done for both the family, and the Royal Treasury. From being my Interim Deputy Treasurer, to my Kastellan of Labour, you’ve been a great asset, and one hell of a businessman. You’ve accomplished feats thought to be impossible, and spent many days deep in the mine, to ensure that your family, and Kingdom would be well equipped for whatever may come. I hope that you continue your hard efforts, and ensure that my son has adequate supplies to lead the family.

 

DIEDRIK LUDOVAR

Diedrik, my kin, you’ve grown up to be quite an honourable man. You’re on the path to greatness, a truly honourable and noble man. I wish you nothing but luck in your pursuit of such. I hope that you stick to your values and protect the weak, as you have shown me many times before. You’re so close to your goals being realised, keep at it.

 

ELAINE LUDOVAR

Elaine, my daughter-in-law. Although I had not had the pleasure to get to know you as well as I would have liked, I thank you truly from the bottom of my heart. Not only did my eldest finally get a maiden, but you blessed me with the gift of becoming a Grandfather. All I ask of you is that you raise your and Sigmund’s kids the best you can, and you take care of them, and him now that I’m gone.

 

BORIS LUDOVAR

Boris, my dear kin. I do hope that wherever your adventure has taken you, that you are safe and enjoying life to its fullest. You’re one of the few people I know that live life to its fullest, without fret or worry. I do hope that you never change, and enjoy the best life you can. The only thing I ask of you is that you visit your dear family from time to time. Safe travels.

 

REZA LUDOVAR JR.

Reza, Reza, Reza. I’ve seen you go through various different unique phases, but where you ended up is a good place to be. I’m glad to see you buckle-down towards your ideals, and get yourself a position in the Palatial Office, Army, and various other positions over the years. I truly am glad to see that despite your feats, you continue to strive towards higher heights.

 

REZA LUDOVAR SR.

Reza, my sister. Although we haven’t seen each other much, later on in our lives, it was always nice to see you when you stopped by the Ludovar domain. Even after my passing, I do hope that you will continue to visit your family. Hopefully your older years are far kinder to you than they were to me, as I went grey much faster than I would’ve liked. Take care of yourself.

 

TORUGR

Torugr, the mighty Snow Orc, you have been a steadfast ally of my Father, and to my family, and for that I thank you. Now you are a fine guard to King Marius, and stand as a mighty warrior of your people. I hope that you continue to live on Kvaszian land in your igloo, and remain a steadfast ally of my family, and the Kingdom.

 

SER CASPIAN COLBORN

Ser Caspian, my friend, comrade, and Marshal, there is much for me to say, but alas I must keep it relatively short. I do not think this is said as much as it should, but you truly are a stupendous Marshal. It has been not only pleasure to serve in the military alongside you, but one of the greatest honours to serve as a Lieutenant in the Brotherhood. Through my time in the army, I feel as if I grew much as a person, and developed many skills that I may have otherwise neglected. I thank you for the many opportunities you gave me to grow as a person and prove my capabilities. Besides being a most worthy Marshal, you were one of my closest friends, one who I could speak freely to, and confide in without worry for recourse. I truly appreciate our friendship.

 

DAVYD COLBORN

Davyd, my friend, and smithing student, you’ve accomplished a lot since we first met, when you became my young apprentice. You should be proud of what you’ve accomplished, both in the forge, and in the Kingdom in general. You served well and diligently as Deputy Palatine, among other roles. I hope that despite your success, you continue to work hard in the forge, making wonders this world has yet to see. Now that you have returned from traveling, I hope that one day you may take up and pass the required trials of the Guild to become The Guild’s Forgemaster, ascending to the position. I have high hopes for you and the Guild, do not leave it to rust.

 

ANTONIO OF KVASZ

Antonio, my daughter's husband. Although you’re a relatively new addition to our family, you’re a welcomed one. I ask that you kindly take care of my daughter, and treat her with the utmost of dignity and respect. I trust her in your care. May Godan watch over the both of you.

 

KARL IV

Your Royal Majesty, my King. I am truly honoured to have served as the Chief Financial Officer for you, your parents, and your grandparents. Truly, such an honour is something I am eternally grateful for. I thank you for always listening to my advice, and allowing me to speak my mind without worry in your presence. Although I am gone, I do hope your reign is a prosperous one, and the Kingdom strives. May Godan protect you, and this dear Dual Kingdom that's so important to us both.

 

THE AULIC COUNCIL

It's been an honour and a privilege to have served on the Aulic Council as the Royal Treasurer. I’ve gotten the chance to pursue finances on behalf of the Crown, a true gift indeed. I was also blessed to have worked beside all of you. From my heart to all of yours, past and present Aulic Councillors, I thank you for your contributions, and for the opportunity to know you all. To the future Aulic Councillors and the future Royal Treasurer, I wish you luck with your duties, and hope that you know what a stupendous opportunity you’ve been given.

Howdy all, it’s been a real blast.

 

I’ve had a truly enjoyable experience playing this character, and it’s definitely gone down as one of my favourite characters. There’s been a lot who helped contribute towards this character being so enjoyable, and I would list them all off, but then I’d be here all day. To those who I’ve gotten to interact with, thanks for the roleplay! If it wasn't for the experiences I shared with many of you, the character could’ve ended up so differently.

Ludvika's eyes went wild as she snatched the letter from her little sister Reza's hands. "What do you mean?" she sob-shouted. "He—he wrote me nothing!" The frantic playwright's voice cracked. "I was just as much his sister as you!" @Phoebe202

The gates of Isaakev stood silent as Sigmund approached, his breath visible in the cold air up in the snowy mountains. As he entered the base there lay a figure, crumpled and lifeless, the snow and dirt beneath stained a deep crimson.  Sigmund's steps faltered as he drew closer, hand resting upon the hilt of his blade as he made way. The man's head appeared to be mutilated, leaving behind an almost unrecognizable visage of cruelty. Yet, Sigmund would notice the armor and weapon. This was his father.

Sigmund's stomach churned upon the realization as he fell to his knees, before noticing a letter. He'd eventually gather the strength to carry his father's body to his chambers inside the Isaakev. After laying his father down, Sigmund read the letter, anger rising within him as his eyes shifted to his father's sword.

"Whoever did this.. they shall perish by vyr sword. But I shall continue vyr work as head of this family and as Duke of Kvasz. I swear it, papej. I swear."

“Your father was a great man. I can only thank him for letting me into your family.” Antonio Flavio comforted his wife, Renata as they mourned.

6 minutes ago, Pancho said:

“Your father was a great man. I can only thank him for letting me into your family.” Antonio Flavio comforted his wife, Renata as they mourned.

Renata Ludovar heard the bells toll from the tower of Kvasz, shortly after receiving word from the servants with-in the halls. "He's gone," she mutters to Antonio, the words hollow and disbelieving, as though saying them aloud might make them untrue. "How will we tell the children.." She croaked out.

Juliya of Reinmar gestured for the late Duke to come forth towards her and Marius. A warm smile was present on her visage as she was arm-in-arm with her dear husband.

 

"My good friend, come -- enjoy eternal happiness."
