THE BAT FLIES AGAIN

[Inkthorn 1434]

 

 

— The House af Brasca Returns —

 

 

 

fter years of living as refugees in foreign lands, we have finally made the journey to the new Empire, uncertain but hopeful. With the collapse of the League of Veletz, our family became homeless, hiding out in the swamp. Now, with the vindication of the Veletzer cause, we see fit to return from hiding.

The question arises: where should we settle after so many years in exile? To answer this, we look to ancestral ties. Nearly five hundred years ago, our forebearers from our parent house owed an oath of fealty to Olivier Ashford. After searching through countless documents, this is the oldest oath we ever swore to any liege. 

 

Hence, we seek to honor this ancient bond and restore our connection. Thus, we aim to settle in the Archduchy of Drusco, and to reclaim our heritage as Savoyards. In doing so, it is our hope to serve not just the House of Ashford, but the Empire as a whole, in our traditional role as scriveners, administrators, and bureaucrats.

 

May the House af Brasca prove ourselves to be useful servants of the realm.

Along the treeline of the Druscan Archduchy,  glinting and hungry eyes watch from the darkness of night, waiting for its next prey.
