✠ Full Legal Name: Nikolaus von Berkhoven

✠ Age (Must be over 18): 21

✠ Running for Which Seat (Bergman/Folkman of X): Bergman of Tiberian Platt

✠ Residence (Must be within constituency): Berkhoven Estate, 

✠ Are you in good standing with the Empire and Church? (Yes/No): Yes

✠ Provide a brief account (100–200 words) of your standing, trade, or service to your community, by which you claim fitness to represent them in the Witenmot:

I, Nikolaus von Berkhoven, have served dutifully within the Imperial Army, upholding the laws and honour of the Empire in both peace and war. Born to a household steeped in martial tradition, I was raised with an understanding that service to Crown and Church is both a privilege and a sacred duty. Within my regiment, I have sought to embody discipline, loyalty, and an unflinching commitment to the defence of our people.

As Bergman of Tiberian Platt, I would represent the interests of my province with diligence and fairness, ensuring that its citizens prosper under the Emperor’s peace. I intend to strengthen the bond between the military and the citizenry, that we might together preserve the order, faith, and dignity that define our Empire.

Believing the Imperial guardsman’s candidacy to be a formal investigation, rather than just a normal application that happens to also be in his district, ‘Valens’, in reality a pseudonym for the child-prince Valentin, withdraws his application in a panic and flees to the woods, fearing arrest. The residence of Platt Tiberian I falls empty.
