---

HARK KINSMEN AND ALL THOSE WHO READ THIS MISSIVE, I, Othmar Hrodgar, have wed Lady Richilde Helvets under the eyes of God and my ancestors. A private ceremony, officiated by the ever-so-godly Father Keen, was held in the good chapel of Saint Caius Primus which resides in the lands of Kanunsberg, with close friends and kin in attendance as witnesses to our union.

My wife and I vow to uphold the values of the one true faith in our marriage, as Horen and Julia had in the days of yore, and to teach whatever children God may give us with these very values which have held humanity together for all time. Scripture shall be paramount in our household. May my schwur be known to all men and present in my actions, and I pray that through the grace of God that I may live as a godly man and a worthy husband.

WER RASTET, DER ROSTET

HIS EXCELLENCY, OTHMAR,  Lawspeaker of Reinmar, Duke of Kanunsberg, Baron of Fernweh

 

 

[Komnena_ 6]

Once all the pomp and ceremony had concluded, the former Alban, now an avowed Reinmaren by way of coverture, sought out a brief moment in solitude.

 

”And so it is done,” whispered Richilde, practically inaudibly, though an exuberant smile graced her features all the same.

"Wundebar!" - "I will be a great grandvater!!" exclaimed Theodemar with thunderous joy, the Knight-Templar giving a proper back-crushing bear hug to his grandson!

"I offer my congratulations, good Othmar! May your house prosper with this excellent news." Aerik rejoiced upon seeing the missive.

[Morphine 823]

Siegfried broke bread with Othmar and company, toasting the newly wedded pair. "May GOTT grant you long and healthy lives, and may He bless you with many children."

Aermund reads the missive with a large grin, "Most wunderful! More Kanunsberg to defend! I love mein job!"

Archie Mareno wondered why someone would marry twenty houses beneath themselves...

The Baroness-Regent of Owynsburg could only scowl, as news of that elopement reached her by way of a courier. A previous discussion with the ancient Earl of Constans still rung in her ear, speaking of her good-sister's lack of decorum in seeking a hasty match for herself. And yet now, it seemed, she had just as quickly settled into a new arrangement entirely.

 

As Myre Hall seemed to grow more quiet, each Helvets either wedded off or dying, the Baroness could only feel some sense of bitterness. A woman who lacked the blood of Saint Foltest, left to tend her son and that ancient lineage's survival alone. It was a slight, in her mind - one she would not soon forget.

 

"We shall send a bouquet of Kaedreni roses. With the Baron's love," The lady bid of her handmaid, her lips spreading with a hollow thinness.

[PragmaticJester 25]

Valerie reads the missive, nodding along with a grin. "Wunderbar! Mein cousin shall have more Kanunsbergs to defend!" The ginger then raises her voice that she may be heard by her cousin through the walls. "AERMUND! MORE KANUNSBERGS TO DEFEND! JOYOUS DAY!"
