I have always yearned for brotherhood–since my youth, it came sparsely, men quarrelled with men, and I was not apt in the political world; the intricacies of the whats and the whos did not matter much to me, as I was nobody of importance. A man of GOD, and eventually, I dedicated my following years working hard under the light and virtue of His High Holiness, and by proxy, under the Kingdom of GOD itself.

During this time, I finally clutched it in my grasp–bond, and in brothers there is strength. At the precipice of human unity, there now stands only two human kingdoms: the Kingdom of Burgundy, and the Kingdom of Númendil.

 

When my dearest wife birthed our first son, I could only face the responsibility of parenthood, to raise one of my own blood as a father–yet, at the same time, fate had been a cruel and blessing arbiter, plunged into a world of crowns, politics, and management; eventually, I had not only my son to raise, but a kingdom, with plentiful loyal vassals to create a unified front. 

 

There is no man, and no other king who I know to be more fair, just, smart and wise enough to raise my son. He must one day inherit the bounty of my kingdom, which stretches from one corner of the continent to the other, from the burned ruins of Vortice, to the farthest edges of the decrepit raevir lands. 

 

As agreed upon, and by his blessings and acceptance, I hereby appoint my good friend, Tar-Anorhil, King of Numendil to act as the tutor for my son, Hadrian Tiberias, the Crown Prince of Burgundy until he comes of age, to learn under his guidance, and to become a man better fulfilling the temporal and secular authority of kinghood, and the spiritual journey in the graces of the Lord GOD. He is to remain in the Kingdom of Númendil until this time, accompanied by a singular knight, Sir Sirius Mareno, and his squire Godric de Swann. 

 

Deus Magnus.

Godric de Swann appears most excited over the news. He reaches for his belt and the standard issued sword he has been given, packing up provisions and diligently making his way to say his goodbyes to his siblings.
