IMPERIAL PROCLAMATION

 

THE VUILLERIAN ENLIGHTENMENT

Issued and averred by the office of,

His Imperial Excellency, Ledicort de Senna, Imperial Archchancellor

 

GODFREY’S TRIUMPH, 636

 

✠ HEED, ALL LEAL SONS OF HOREN ✠

 

It was beneath the august rays of the Lord that the Empire was born. The Vuillers chose to gaze upon mere shadows. But a sole scion of theirs cast himself unto the Holy Flame within which the Imperium was forged. For this, he was disowned. Indeed, never in the decades since has the House Vuiller found it prudent to follow in that first man’s pace. Rather, they had absconded from the lands of the faithful, and devoted themselves unto heathen despots. Know thus that it is not by willful enlightenment that they have chosen repentance, but by one enforced upon them. The Chancellery is glad that they have gathered sufficient wisdom amongst their ranks to submit. We pray that they shall not lapse into their old habits.

 

THUS,

 

The House of Vuiller, formerly settled within the Kingdom of Balian, and now implicated in the treacherous Federation of Beleth, hereby condemns the Horde and all human vassals within its dominion as traitors to Humanity. By this act, the House and its Patriarch, Beanyx Hans Vuiller, surrenders fully to the authority of the Imperium and calls upon all such traitorous humans to witness the Imperium’s light and glory, and to submit themselves to its rightful dominion. 

 

All titles and honors held by the House, including the County of Aquilae, are hereby returned to the Imperial Crown, to remain in abeyance until the Emperor, at His sole discretion, sees fit to restore them. The House pledges unwavering fealty to His Imperial Majesty, Hadrian I, and expresses formal contrition for its prior failure to serve His command.

 

Furthermore, any member of the House of Vuiller who refuses or resists this declaration of surrender and allegiance is henceforth disowned from the House, renouncing all rights and claims therein.

 

AVE IMPERIUM

 

 

H V M A N I T A S    I N V I C T A

 

HIS IMPERIAL EXCELLENCY, Ledicort de Senna, Imperial Archchancellor.

 

HER IMPERIAL HIGHNESS, Joan Mariana Horen, Imperial Princess of Man, Duchess of Helena, and Deputy Emissary of the Provinces.

 

MISTER Beanyx Hans Vuiller, Patriarch of House Vuiller.

Timing is an odd thing. How peculiar a thing, for such an announcement to make its way through the realms of man, the day after a once-Vuiller's death?

Aera was born in Balian, to the highest of the Peerage. She was born to be a Duchess... and such a day never came. And even now when death was supposed to release her from her binds of such earthly titles, she could not enjoy the skies. There were no tables to flip, no chairs to throw, there was nowhere for that rage to go. 

Because she was right. And now all is lost. 

"I tried to save you all."

 

"Every single title would still be ours if we left when I wanted to... if we followed him there... and now all of it is gone...."

 

"I told you so."

"Shh, don't tell them about the several other humans that have deserted the Empire to fight on our side too..." The Rex of the Horde said to his councilors. "Anyways, the Vuillers had what...two or three people? Meh."

Iohannis extended his hand towards the young child. "You have already done more for your house than many of your forebearers. And now, they shall not sink once the Horde is turned to ash." @Harald

In that undercarriage of Rittersberg's chapel, did the good Father Pontius, a Sennan by birth, comment thus, to his nearseated brother...

 

"Why, it seems that our far-flung idiots of cousins have deigned to repent before His Imperial Majesty and the Good Lord God. Fitting, I suppose, that their titles have been stripped - it would not do well for the Empire to have halfwits as enfeoffed lords, would it?"

"Did I pay my scribes this year ...?" Joan scratched her head forgetfully. "Pontius ... Do I pay you ...?"

“That’s a bit disappointing”

 

Elis D’Amaury shook her head.

She could sense somebody was probably not very happy about this. Alas, Sister Alexandria had far better things to worry about than politics. For instance, the fact that her life was apparently so sad that even darkspawn didn't want to attack her because they felt bad. Tragic.

"Most interestin'." Thought a man as he sat at his desk, a lock of his own ginger hair idly being spun around his finger as he read. "Got it worst off than m' Basileus frien's." He hummed before filing the missive away.

Edith, who had witnessed her now distant family's split - a family she had once been part of, could only stare at the proclamation for a moment. Time was a funny thing, for while her memory fell short on the words once spoken from anger and betrayal - she'd never forget the struggles it had caused. For herself, her siblings- and Aera, her beloved cousin whom she had and forever would call her sister. I told you so. Those words echoed in her mind, born from years of pondering what all those years wasted on old grudges and broken bonds could have been. 

 

A bitter laugh escapes her, the parchment crumpling in her grasp before it would find itself being hurled towards her fireplace. "So now they see reason--" audibly would she grumble, "--all that drama, and look where they are now. I hope it was worth it for them-- if they had just left way back in Balian, as Aera had pleaded. . . eurgh,"

"Let this new generation of Vuillers learn from the past," finally would she concede, "it looks good on them, to be brought so low when they could have had more. I'm sure Aera's spouting nothing but complaints about this, pfah!"

Still clinging to her Father's hip, Anastasia welcomed the young Vuiller Patriarch back into their rightful fold beneath the Basileus banner. "I think we're going to be friends," She said with a smile, before going to show Beanyx around Cascanova.

Maddock Tam simply sighed. So long as they were safe, that was fine. But if they tried to harm anyone in Beleth, he wouldn't let them lay a finger on his people or any other people who are at risk of being made victims of a mad monarch. He continues writing his next poem, his righteous rage over Hadrian's poor parenting still boiling over into his lettering.

"It is of no great loss. They did net do anything significant for Perduran or Lotharia when it stood." Sybille muttered at the missive as though it might reply, "I wonder if Aedric or Adrian knew?"
