THE GREAT DUMAPALOOZA

SUMMONING OF THE DUCAL ELECTORS

 

CONVENTUS ADRIAE.

 

In the year 651 of the Age of Ascension

☩

 

‘LO UNTO THE DUCAL ELECTORS & THE ADRIAN PEOPLE,

 

Almost 30 years now, the Duke Zygmunt Euler ‘The Builder’ has ruled the Duchy of Adria, raising a shattered people to renewed prosperity, giving them a home upon the banks of the Glassbrook & Avenor rivers in the heart of the Autumn Hills. Ever tireless and unrelenting, seldom resting from his work, the Duke had given his very spirit for his home and his people, until his strength finally gave out, passing away peacefully from this mortal coil.

 

 

 

ELECTORAL DECREE:

The Duma shall consist of the following categories of electors, each carrying the weight of Adrian tradition and the voices of their constituents. All electors or their chosen representatives are urged to present themselves promptly, accompanied by appropriate retinues and prepared to deliberate upon the matters at hand.

On the Ducal Candidates: Let it be known that any Adrian man or woman over the age of 18, whose loyalty is to no foreign institution but to the Duchy and her People is eligible to be elected, so long as they are nominated by one of the Core Electors.

 

 

I. CORE ELECTORS, THE NOBLES OF ADRIA

The Nobles of Adria bear the greatest voting power in the Duma, reflecting their stewardship over the lands and fealty to the Duchy.

[Gaja 1310]

Frederick Euler, now the Count of Eulersburg prepared for what was to come.

[Hawkeye_Gough 624]

Julia Sarkozic read the news as it was delivered to her writing desk. Lately, she had spent too much time at that same desk, and what she read gave her the need to step away, a short moment of rest which she had lately neglected to take. She took a moment, knelt before her bed, to thank GOD for ensuring the Duke's passing was painless and peaceful.
