THE LAST FADING STAR

In the year 226 of the Second Age

 

✠

 

  

 

 

---

To the Royarch,

 

The once-supreme status of the Principality of Celia’nor has long faded. People depart your lands en mass in search of better life. Those responsible for your citizens well-being are unable to protect anyone, and now you signed your end by standing with the excommunicated Haenseni.

 

The great men and women of Aevos are pressed under the boot of new generations of Haenseni, who refuse to rally in aid to even the smallest skirmishes. While it's not much different from the days of Veletz, these Haenseni can no longer guarantee safety and grant you protection under their wings. Upon the release of this missive, I already imagine how the skies will darken with flocks of birds towards the Starlit capital, begging you to ignore this, to remain as you were and to not listen to ‘heathens’ offering you a fair solution.

 

We have spoken not many times, Lady Celia’nor, but I trusted you to be a person of your word and you did deliver. Now, I offer you my own promises, should you be wise to accept:

 

1. You declare the end of Principality of Celia’nor as it is and relieve its boundless lands to me, Hadrian van Aert, to rebuild the country as he sees fit - a strong militaristic power of the region.
   • The titles of royalty, such as the Princess of Celia’nor will remain in the venerable Iryne Ibarellan’s possession, should she accept these demands. 
   • A new country with a new name will emerge in its place with Hadrian van Aert as its head.
   • The current citizens within the county's borders will be allowed to remain. Peers of the realm will be offered new titles.
2. The remaining Ibarellans in honor of this agreement will be offered housing and safety, but will not be made Peers within the new realm. The sympathizers of Veletz will also stop hunting you for your ‘neutrality’ during the Aevos coalition war.
3. Celia’nor shall not have her history erased and her library will remain open for all.
4. Celia’nor shall provide Adalhart von Draco a personal butler by the name Ellisar Ibarellan (DuckstepOP).

 

 

I, Hadrian van Aert, now raise my hand and I shall build and elevate the new power of MAN in the Midlands. I offer you all this in hopes you understand that this is the only way for your citizens to remain in their homes, safe with their families. I will return to the Northern Midlands and save it from the decay that grips it now. I will act in accordance with the Lord’s will and return our Midlands to better days, days that many have longed for. Those in support of this noble cause should not shy away from vocalizing the benefits of my propositions to the people of Celia’nor. 

 

Surrender your throne to me and all your people will thank you.

 

Hadrian van Aert

"Indeed, it is time for a new nation to rise from the fading embers of an old one. What is proposed will surely be beneficial for us all." Adalhart remarked after reading the missive handed to him by Hadrian van Aert, whom he returned it to with a smirk. "A personal butler sounds quite fun too..." 

[Javert 9615]

"Well, I told Tiberias I would support the van Aerts as a friend. Why not press Hadrian's claim too? Who knows what he'll turn Celia'nor into." said Thorin Rostova as he prepared to send a few Ravenmirian volunteers to help Hadrian carve himself out a new domain.

[Zqppy 918]

Earoslav looks upon the missive and replies solely "Ave Veletz, a new King of Midden" He would Crack a tear "My heart goes out to the elves of the Midden, they shall be given life under a Burgund lorde... if niet the hounds shall feast...."

[CasualNuker 1113]

"Delusional humans as usual.."  states Mirathen as he is sitting in the bustling Celia'norian tavern.

[Jihnyny 5233]

Æsc, the child-norn bandit, smiles the suns smile.

[Unwillingly 18096]

"There's something to be said about the irony of erecting a new sovereign from the ashes of its dwindling predecessor. I wonder if Celia'nor still holds true to its phoenix iconography after this." remarks Galahad. 

[MailC3p 2402]

An eyebrow raised slowly on the Okarir’tir of Haelun’or. A threat to Celia’nor has been made. “Death of Starland to Valah would be funny, but we deserve it more then anyone.” With that he made his way, angrily grumbling to himself as he walked his way over to the Sohaers office.

[Morigung-oog 5697]

The Sohaer of Haelun'or simply smiled. 

 

"The offer of refuge to most of Celia'nor's citizenry still stands."

"The mere fact that they ask Iryne to give up her own husband as a butler is disgraceful in and of itself" he said scoffing from the tavern in helious "I might be discontent with the current situation of the council but even i think this is just outright unreasonable, not even getting into the rest of the demands."

[mothsthetic 2250]

Cathryn's brow furrows in further confusion at the missive, the young page quickly learning about taking things at face value.

"Ich zhought zhat conquest vasn't der main goal of zhe var- Vhy ist everyein now attempting to claim zhrones und nations?"

[Yeetboy0206 1574]

[!] A missive was put out in response to this, sent around the Papal States.

"To Hadrian Van Aert,

I must admit, you have impressed me. It is not often I see such a complete and utter lack of basic reasoning presented in such an arrogant light. Let me ask you this, do you even know Royarch Iryne Ibarellan? No, of course you don't. If you did, you'd understand that she is more Saintlike than you and those who follow you will ever be. She sat through your arrogant threats to her home, her nation, and her family, all to her face. Most other people, most other rulers, would have had your head put on a pike for this. But instead, the gracious Royarch simply allowed you both to leave intact. And do not mistake her mercy for weakness. If she had ordered it, you would not have survived the might of the Diraar...or the anger of me for even DARING to perform such a pompous show of the sin of pride and greed to a good friend of mine, who has always been kind even when she is under more pressure than you can even imagine. You want to rule? To sit on a throne? Your neck would snap from the weight like the pathetic Veletz remnant that you are. Here are my terms to YOU:
1. Accept that Veletz is dead. No matter how hard you try, you can never get it back, and trying so hard to at the expense of others only shows how unworthy you are of any position of leadership.

2. Apologize to the Royarch for your arrogance and blatant disregard for her family's wellbeing with your downright unforgivable suggestion of making her husband a personal butler for your comrade.

3. Drop out of participating in this unholy war, which you have only fully made clear is about ambition and conquest with your arrogant notice.

4. If any of these terms are not met, we meet on the border between Petra and Numendil. No one else to interfere. An honour duel, till first blood. If you refuse, you admit defeat. If you accept, anyone you bring cannot attack me after the duel is over, regardless of the winner, lest you and them wish to forfeit your honour and your faith in GOD.

 

I'll be expecting a response back, publicly. If this missive is ignored, term 4 still stands."

From a man of GOD,

Let me know if you accept beforehand whether you want it to be honour or roll CRP. Also this is all just IRP anger. OOCly nice post.

Siyala takes the letter and begins to read it. "And who is this clown supposed to be? Who knows him?" She begins to laugh nonstop. "Anyway... it seems the war has started to embolden a lot of nobodies."

[marikandaperc 1817]

"I believe this Hadrian would lead Celia'nor better than the current government." Sigrid mused while in visit to the Soaher Valindra. "Ah, if only they could see reason as the Haelun'orians do.."

[Haseroth 1740]

"This offer is much too merciful, the starlands will burn and all within it will perish." Declared a veteran of old.
