Let it be known to all knights, lords, freemen, and subjects of man, the House van Aert does formally and publicly assert its rightful claim to the Title of Veletz, bestowed this right by his Imperial Majesty Tiberias I, son and heir to the last Captain-General of the League. This declaration is not made in haste, nor in pursuit of glory alone, but in recognition of the past, oaths once sworn, and a legacy entrusted to us by blood and by sacrifice. In doing so, we reflect solemnly upon those who came before; Johannes who shaped the nation from the remains of the Adrian Rebellion, Germanicus, who constructed the illustrious city of Winburgh, and Gaspard II, the bold. These names endure as pillars of our history, and whose deeds continue to shape the course of our House and people. Their memory remains sacred, not as symbols of conquest, but as reminders of steadfast leadership, honor in hardship, and the cost of enduring service to the realm.

Through times of foreign pressure and internal division, our House stood against oppression, not as aggressor, but as defender, becoming in the eyes of many a symbol of defiance. It is in that spirit of perseverance and responsibility that we now raise once more the banners of the Bull, not as a challenge to peace, but as a restoration of rightful place and purpose. For it is in Veletz, where the foundations of the Empire were born, that our presence is both most historic and most needed. Therefore, in accordance with the will of our House, the voice of our people, the Emperor, and the enduring traditions of this land, we affirm our claim to the ducal mantle. This is not merely a return to title, but a renewal of stewardship and service to a land long in need of both. May this proclamation stand as a record, for those who seek to oppose us. Ave Veletz, Ave Imperium

In the Barony of the Isles, the sound of cheering can be heard as the Lord of the Isles hands out bottles of Rentian Rum to his men. Letting out a chuckle, he turns to his father, the former baron, and hands him a glass. "Fathew the wowk hasth been done." He then goes to chug the rum as he laughs.

Earoslav Rostova sat in solemn silence by a roaring fire,

"Father, your home is returned"

The Aged Grand Prince let forth a toothy grin

"Breakwater has had it's justice, the League has been avenged. Ave Veletz, Ave Renatus."

a tear ran down his face looking out a respite washed over him knowing that his life's journey has been achieved.

"Now tis time for a new chapter father, we've still so much fight to give lest we be forgot." his declaration made he lifted himself up with his mighty BOOMSTEEL hammer.

"Veletz collapsed under the weight of its own ambitions before. It will happen again." Spoke Miroslaw Jazlowiecki, as if speaking an article of faith.
