ISSUED BY THE PRINCE IN REINMAR 

In the year of our Lord, 2012

 

 

ÖHNE UND TÖCHTER VON REINMAR,

GATHER HEED, sons and daughters of Reinmar, and lend ear to the words of your Chieftain, Erwin. Rejoice in the knowledge that an heir to the tribe has been born, a child of promise, blessed by the grace of GOTT and the blood of our noble ancestors. As the winds of fate turn favorably upon our halls, so too does the light of hope shine upon the hearths of Reinmar. With great joy and solemn pride, I, Erwin, your Chieftain, announce unto you sons and daughters of Reinmar that my beloved wife has borne us a son, a future Chieftain, who shall walk in the footsteps of his forefathers and bear the weight of our ancient line. In the fullness of this joy, let it also be known that the child, this heir to Reinmar, has been named Siegfried Otto, to honor our kin of yore - Warchief of Theoderic's Warband, brother to Leon Brandt and to honor Saint Otto of Vanderfell.

Rejoice! For a hunt and a feast shall be held in the coming Saint’s days to honor this child of mine, and future Chieftain. Let all gather in merriment to honor the blessing bestowed unto our tribe. Together, we shall take to the Ferdenwald for a hunt, followed by a bountiful feast, where tales of old shall be spoken and songs foretelling the greatness of this child’s fate shall resound.

Let the firelight warm our spirits as we revel in the joy of this occasion, marking the beginning of a new chapter for our people.

The Chieftess, in a blissful moment of tranquility, cradled the babe in her arms. "In time, Siegfried, you shall be Chieftain." A smile, such a rare evidence of warmth left within the dour woman blossomed upon her visage. "You shall bring pride to all ancestors who have walked, and glory to all successors yet to come."

Adalwin cried, for he had failed to kill Erwin before the Fürst had an heir.
