IMPERIAL LETTERS PATENT | Barony of Sternfell

[Werew0lf 24179]

 

 

Issued and averred by the office of the

IMPERIAL CROWN

 

 

✠ HEED, LEAL SONS OF HOREN;

 

. . . and let it be known by Our Imperial Writ that, with the dissolution of the Horde of Many Tribes and the eradication of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan from Azuras, the Empire of Man now moves to secure and purify the southern lands. To this end, a valley upon the southern coast of Azuras, near the silver woods and undead fortifications, has been chosen for settlement under the Crown.

 

In recognition of her service in the dissolution of the Federation of Beleth and the capture of the traitor Peter Rovare, Lady Phoebe Lucia of the House de Senna is entrusted with lands upon Azuras. With the consent of her House, she shall assume the name Phoebe Lucia Malory and be recognized as Matriarch of House Malory. 

 

The rights of vassalage are recognized and confirmed forthwith upon the promulgation of this instrument, afforded now and to Lady Phoebe’s generations, passing the titles, lands, and coronet to a designated heir at the time of death, abdication, or otherwise.

 

The obligations of vassalage shall remain binding unless amended by a written decree of the Emperor, to be as thus;

 

✠ Collect and administer taxes, be it over land, housing, or commerce within their coronet,

✠ Uphold law and peace within their coronet, in accordance with Imperial and local laws,

✠ Pay the negotiated tribute to the Imperial Crown,

✠ Counsel and advice in times of peace,

✠ And raise levies, donate weaponry, and make resources available in the Empire’s defence.

 

Let it be known, henceforth;

 

Phoebe Lucia Malory

Baroness of Sternfell

@Seva

 

Through this agreement, the following terms are herein set forth for all settlers wishing to establish themselves within the Sternfell:

 

✠ Forfeit any claims or obligations to noble succession within the Empire, as the Sternfell shall not serve as refuge for those seeking advantage in succession disputes.

 

✠ Declare the vocation they intend to pursue, be it blacksmithing, carpentry, hunting, farming, adventuring, or scholarly pursuit, and swear fealty first to His Imperial Majesty, Hadrian I, and thereafter to Her Ladyship, Baroness Malory.

 

✠ Submit to examination to ensure no allegiance to Darkspawn or their servants; any found in such league shall be put to swift death under the sanction of the Church of the True Faith.

 

✠ Should a noble household seek settlement within the Sternfell, it must swear direct obeisance to Her Ladyship and obtain the express permission of His Imperial Majesty.

 

AVE IMPERIUM!

Baroness Phoebe Lucia Malory leaned back against her desk as she gazed across the official missive, with both Imperial and Canonist seal. Her lips curled upwards.

“ The wilds await. ”

The High Priest assents to the expansion of the borders of the Faithful.

"Lady Phoebe has everything to bring order to those unruly lands."  Said William of Curon as he read the missive, before he handed it to Erelith.

"Phoebe Malory?" babbled the semi-lucid hundred-something year old Archchancellor, BEAMING his words STRAIGHT into his daughter Phoebe's mind, "WHADDAFLIP! What happened to WholesomeSenna?"

"Hehe, nice!" Edith cheers for her little sister!!

The Scheming Salvian takes note of this new Imperial Incursion into the west, a scouting party would soon be dispatched to observe the make and defenses of the Sternfell settlement if any existed.

Alas, for the scheming Salvian, this settlement would rise organically from humble means. Not even a tent was pitched yet, for the Expedition is still gathering to depart!

"Kool, another empty pinky zettlement." 

 

Uku grumbled.

Aviel Roy, a longtime-friend of the Baroness, smiled the Sun's Smile as he read of the Malory Matriarch's rise to the baronial coronet. "Yer efforts finally getting the recognition they deserve, Lady Phoebe."

The Salvian patrol returns empty handed, having missed that important detail... they would try to hide their shame to their commander by giving him a fabricated report...
