Since a century prior had the House Stafyr been a Peer of the Petran Commonwealth, though as the ebb and flow of a river changes with the season, so too at times must the houses which dwell within the Meadows and Rivers seek to follow its course where it may go. Following extensive talks between the former Viscount and the Archduchess Magdalena, it was made clear that a path forward together was to prove nigh impossible. Attempts made to reconcile mutual grievances proved largely unfruitful, and thus it was deemed necessary that the future of the House Stafyr laid not within the Petran Commonwealth by the patriarch of the house. Thereby as of the promulgation of this missive throughout the Riverlands and High Kingdom of Idunia, the following is decreed:

ON THE STATUS OF FALKENSTEIN AND FELDKIRCH

 

The House of Stafyr is hereby stripped of its status as Peers of the Realm, its titles returned to the Throne of Saint Emma and placed into abeyance as of this writ. Those titles placed into abeyance consisting of both the Viscounty of Falkenstein and the Barony of Feldkirch, granted in years past for services rendered throughout many years of service to the Commonwealth. Additionally, the House Stafyr is released of their oath of fealty to the Petran Commonwealth, free to make a future elsewhere within the lands of humanity of their choosing.

 

Henceforth, the House Stafyr shall be allocated two years time as of this missive to depart from their manor within the City of Riviènse. During this period of transition, they shall be freed of the burden of taxation in thanks for past services rendered within the Commonwealth. Should this prove inadequate alongside the time since the meeting in question, their patriarch or a chosen representative bearing his seal may seek an audience to discuss an adequate period of time agreeable to both parties alongside any additional provisions deemed necessary.
