FOREWORD

VORWORT

Upon Friedrich Hans von Augusten’s election to the Lord Vandalore-ship he has remained only the Lord Vandalore Elect but by his word it was the purpose of this Second Session of the Tenth Diet for the Elector of HOHENGARTEN to properly achieve his mantle and swear his oath. And so it was done. As the first order of business, the most senior among the Electors, that of REINMAR-SUTICA, was called forth to aid in the oathing. The Lord Vandalore confirmed his recent elevation by pledging solemn promises: he affirmed the Sacred Laws, he shall be the protector of the Vander folk, keeper of the Book of Waldenia  and for all that he shall do, in every ordonnance, as a true Vander. The Lord Vandalores make their vows before 𝕲𝖔𝖙𝖙 with the Diet as their witnesses, may the Margrave of Schwyz be up for the task.

 

Likewise, before the Diet's order of business began, all were reminded of SIEGMUND’s LAW. A law of the Regelwerk which was passed by a simple majority during the Third Session of the Eighth Diet and reaffirmed by unanimous vote during the Second Session of the Ninth Diet where it finally entered the Waldenic Regelwerk. As prescribed by the rights given to us Vanders by our Sacred Laws and blessed traditions, we are endowed with the right to self determinism and so shall not tolerate any wanton disregard for our customs, especially in such a sacred space as the Diet. For as we would surely defend the honour of our Church and the Almighty, we will also defend our sacred traditions.

Named for the law’s proposer, Siegmund von Reuss. First voted upon and approved by the Eighth Waldenic Diet in 1973. Current wording approved by the Ninth Waldenic Diet in 1984.

 THE POSTHUMOUS AWARD OF THE FERRUM CROSS UNTO PRINCESS ADALFRIEDE VON HEXENWALD

As was recognised during the last session of the Tenth Diet, the late Lady Vandalore, 𝕲𝖔𝖙𝖙 rest her soul, was a true force for the Waldenian people. Her loss is still hard felt, and the numerous efforts she made during her service as Lady Vandalore are greatly noted. Waldenia lost a great spirit, and as such for her services to the Waldenic Diet, the Waldenian people and for her notable term as Lady Vandalore, her numerable contributions to the Book and laws of Waldenia, the motion was proposed that the Fifteenth Lady Vandalore, Princess Adalfriede von Hexenwald, be awarded the Ferrum Cross, posthumously. The motion was brought forward by the Lord Vandalore, a more than deserved merit, to honour the memory of the great Adalfiede von Hexenwald.

Remembrances done and the motion passed unanimously, Princess Adalfriede’s Ferrum Cross is passed along to the ELECTORATE of MINITZ. As her kin they will properly venerate the late Lady Vandalore with her award.

 

THE RENEWAL OF THE KNIGHTS OF VANDER

Since the eclipse of the Ninth Diet the state of the Knights of Vander has been lacking, to no fault of any person, but sole blame shall rest on the order’s stagnancy. It is the ambition of the Lord Vandalore to renew the reformed order and set off the momentum desired, for the knights to be existent anew. First at task, as proposed by the Lord Vandalore who also acts as the grandmaster of the order, is to swear in new knights. As such the first act in the renewal of the Knights of Vander is to receive nominations for knights, to be voted and confirmed by the Diet. The motion presented the Lord Vandalore brought forward two nominations, the Petrine Knight, Sir-Viscount Konstantin von Augusten, and the Waldenian mercenary Kommandant Manfred von Berkhoven. Both are proven fighters and good warriors known to the Vandalore. The ELECTORATE of MINITZ was the only other to offer up a nomination, that of their own Elector, Prince Erwin I Barclay von Minitz. All three men were put before the Diet to be voted upon, to choose whether they were to be instated as Knights of Vander.

MOTION TO RECOGNISE THE HOUSE VON PREUSSENS

First brought to the attention of the Diet during the First Session of the Tenth Diet, the matter of recognising the House von Pressens was postponed pending the investigation of the noble house by the Lord Vandalore. As promised the vote was held and the Lord Vandalore presented his findings before the electors of the Diet, so that they may have a better judgement on the matter. The Vandalore found the members of House von Preussens to be true Waldenians and perceived them to be proud Vanders. He also noted that the patriarch of von Preussens to be a loyal subject to his liege and would be an honourable servant to the Diet, as patriarch of a recognised family of Waldenia. Lord Joseph von Preussens was also given the opportunity to present his case before the Electors, before the vote began.

 THE INVESTIGATION OF THE INCIDENT AT CALLIOPEBURG

A matter that has often plagued the minds of Waldenians, since the Apostolic Aaunish Kingdom came under the Pontiff’s regency, has been the mysterious incident at the Chantry of Calliopeburg. Once a grand Waldenic monument, where the most faithful of Vanders were able to make pilgrimage to venerate Saint Calliope and other Waldenic Saints and Martyrs. Yet now the chantry is demolished and has been returned to nature. Many a Waldenian considered this a worrying event as it meant the loss of many holy Waldenian relics. The Lord Vandalore petitioned the Diet to allow the newly oathed Knights of Vander to begin an investigation into the incident, to unmask the truth of the incident. There is hope that all mysteries regarding the chantry may be resolved and with much hope the relics lost may be reclaimed, for the good of Waldenia.
