 THE SECOND SESSION OF THE ELEVENTH DIET

On the 9th of the Snow’s Maiden 2032, the Second Session of the Eleventh Waldenic Diet convened on the matter of the reformation of the Diet to properly fit the changed political situation brought forth by the rise of the Imperium of Man and the general congregation of the Waldenian Houses under one realm. Also addressed were several matters of housekeeping, recognition of houses, and potential membership within the diet. Many matters were tabled for want of proper investigation and deliberation for the next session; however, 2 Knights of Vander and several squires were appointed.

As the voting concluded, two new Knights of the Vandorian Order (Phillipa von Reuss and Franz von Augusten) were raised by His Princely Highness, Erwin I, the Lord Vandalore and Elector of Reinmar, to unanimous approval by the diet, pending their oaths for they were not in attendance.

 

THE CALL FOR SQUIRES INTO THE VANDORIAN ORDER

During the Second Session of the Eleventh Waldenic Diet, the Lord Vandalore put out a call for youths of Waldenian Blood to request Squireship, this call was responded to by Lord Ottomar of House Alstreim, Frederick of House Stroheim, Lord Adonis of House Rovare, Aviel of House Helfgot, and Katarina of House Augusten. Alongside this, further candidates stepped forth from House Augusten however House Augusten was limited to 1 candidate. The Lord Vandalore then put out the call for Vander Knights in need of Squires, those in response being Ser Konstantin von Augusten and Ser Manfred von Berkhoven. Following this, he assigned Lord Ottomar as squire to Ser Konstantin von Augusten and summoned Lord Adonis before him. Following the deliberation over House Rovare, Frau Katarina was granted Squireship under Ser Manfred, who expressed the availability to take on a second Squire, before the Lord Vandalore opened the floor to petitions from the Electors. 

 

THE DELIBERATION OVER THE WALDENIAN STATUS OF HOUSE ROVARE

During the Second Session of the Eleventh Waldenic Diet the matter of House Rovare’s status as Waldenian was brought before the Electors, by the matter of Lord Adonis Rovare (the heir to House Rovare) petitioning for Squireship under a Knight of Vander. Following this he was summoned to the dias by the Lord Vandalore to introduce himself and the lineage of House Rovare before the diet. Upon being questioned, Lord Adonis and Ser Peter (his father) claimed Waldenian Status by 2 paths, the first being the right of blood, sharing the common ancestor of Houses von Augusten and von Leopold being Phillip Leopold Hill though notably of a bastard line, however this was also presented with the Rovares and the County of Stirland living by the Waldenic values and virtues, developing what could be (pending investigation and consideration) considered a distinct Waldenian subculture. This proclamation was met with much deliberation amongst the Electors and commentary from non-Electors of similar lineage, due to the previously unknown origins. Questions were raised by the Lord Vandalore in regards to why House Rovare had not approached the diet sooner, and the matter was put to a close following a speech from Ser Manfred von Berkhoven and a pending investigation by Lord Ottomar and was postponed to the next diet. 

 

PETITION TO RAISE HOUSE VON PREUSSEN TO ELECTORSHIP

During the Second Session of the Eleventh Waldenic Diet the matter of raising House von Preussens to full membership and electorship of the diet was put forth by the diet, however due to their absence from the session, the matter was postponed until the next diet, thereby opening the floor to the next matter. 

 

PETITION TO FORM THE WALDENIAN SOCIETY

During the Second Session of the Eleventh Waldenic Diet, Lord Ottomar of House Alstreim put the matter before the Diet to create a Waldenian Society, responsible for cataloging, investigating, educating, and overall managing the Waldenian status of minor or disputed Waldenian families for a unified Waldenian people and the facilitation of the creation of future Electorships. Alongside this, the previous matter of the Rovaran heritage investigation was brought forth as a potential task for this new society, as well as future similar matters of deliberation and investigation, and the upkeep of the Book of Waldenia. The motive received approval and assent from Houses Stroheim, Barclay, Augusten, Theonus, Helfgot, and the Bishop-Elector,  however, House Kannunsberg raised questions as to the difficulty and broad nature of the society's goals; however, Ser Manfred and the Lord Vandalore assuaged these fears and offered potential future goals and suggestions for the Society. 

VOTE: TO FORM THE WALDENIAN SOCIETY UNDER LORD OTTOMAR VON ALSTREIM

 

Though there was no official vote on the matter, the ruling is considered a unanimous Ja.

 

As the matter concluded, the Lord Vandalore expressed disapproval with the von Preussens lack of completion of the minutes for the previous diet session and issued a call for another attendee to take up the task. The task was initially picked up by Lord Ottomar before being moved over to Lord Peter Rovare. Following this, Ser Manfred von Berkhoven and Frau Cosima von Leopod voiced a desire to make petition before the diet. 

 

PETITION TO CONSTRUCT AN INDEPENDENT WALDENIAN DIET HALL

During the Second Session of the Eleventh Waldenic Diet, Ser Manfred von Berkhoven proposed that the Diet petition the Imperial Crown for land to construct a permanent neutral Diet Hall for the Waldenian People, on the grounds of Imperial Unity, bias in favor of the Lord Vandalore, and a headquarters for groups like the Waldenian Society. However, due to the fierce debate and unsurity in regards to options of feasible and acceptable locations, the matter was postponed so research could be conducted. 

 

PETITION TO RAISE HOUSE VORKEHARDT TO ELECTORSHIP

During the Second Session of the Eleventh Waldenic Diet, Sir Thomas von Theonus briefly proposed that House Vorkehardt be raised to the diet, possibly in a joint seat with House Theonus, however the proposal was immediately shut down by the Lord Vandalore and other electors on grounds of House Vorkehardt not following the path of the Waldenians.

 

PETITION TO RAISE FRAU COSIMA VON LEOPOLD TO ELECTORSHIP

During the Second Session of the Eleventh Waldenic Diet, Frau Cosima von Leopold approached the diet with the petition and intention of joining the Diet and being raised to Electorship. After the request was made, certain inquiries were made into the status, station, and residence of Frau Cosima, determining her Landless and holding no position of prominence within any Waldenian government. Following such, Frau Cosima protested the decision based on past Electorships, however the Lord Vandalore reaffirmed his status and authority upon the matter.

VOTE: TO GRANT ELECTORSHIP TO COSIMA VON LEOPOLD

 

Though there was no official vote on the matter, the ruling is considered a definitive no, until House Leopold meets the requirements of nobility, land, and populations. 

 

As the matter concluded, Bishop-Elector Josephina motioned for adjournment.

A very proud basically-mother and aunt of the two knights beams from ear to ear, posting the news of their upcoming oathings on her refrigerator.
