The Autumn Union

A marriage of Whitewood and Petra

 

 

In the Year 223 ARP / 282 S.A the so called Autumn Union took place in the Archduchy of Petra, This marriage was between Alberic Etienne of the Archducal House of the Petra & Estere Sofija Whitewood,  daughter of Nuvilta Svajone Whitewood (Countess of Silasia).

The wedding started under the Naras Aldtree, a beloved landmark of the city, traditionally long used for these marriages, The now late Bishop Godfrey spoke shortly in common and Flexio before consecrating the marriage via canonist manners. 

The newly wedded couple then proceeded to the grand ball room and hosted a wedding reception where drinks flowed freely and the couple were given gifts by various citizens and foreign citizens.

This Archducal marriage is the start of the future of Petra as the old descends into history and the new take rise in newly opened positions, this event however gave all citizens a hopeful look into the future, one of peace and prosperity for all.

IDUNIAN NEWS

The Duke of Adria is dead!

 

For 30 years Duke Zygmunt of Adria has led the duchy, with rocky times in abundance he managed to persevere and find the Adrians a new home on the banks of a river. For this he earned the nickname “the builder”. However this age has come to an end, Duke Zygmunt has passed peacefully as far as is known to public records.

The process for establishing a new duke is strangely enough not hereditary in the Duchy of Adria, the new duke is instead elected in a large gathering of the adrians called the ‘Duma’, various factions have votes in this duma ranging from the nobles and administrators to honorary electors and former Haeseni families.

Various electoral votes have already been thrown out by various factions such as Father Aldersberg for Count Milos Sarkozic, and House Fontaine & the baron of Wickwald throwing themselves behind the lowborn Stekvark Lochunskofk.

This Duma shall thus be an interesting event to be sure, shaping the future of the Adrians for the foreseeable future and the results of this Duma shall be anxiously awaited upon.

New Barony of Idunia

 

Without much information for the why, Castille Fontaine of House Fontaine has been elevated to the position of Baron, specifically the Baron of Montereine. This by decree of the Late Duke Zygmunt. 

As a baron he of course retains all the rights of such and also gets an esteemed vote as previously said above in the duma process. The position opposed to the Duchy’s title shall be hereditary.

Edict on constructs

 

Constructs, by some considered extremely dangerous, by others beloved. However these years Tar-Pharazon issued a royal Idunian decree on the use of constructs in the Idunian capital of Alduun, this being that all constructs being either forced to attain a writ of passage from the Master of alchemy or the High council of idunia.

If they do not they shall be not permitted entrance into the capital city. The reason for this decree is largely unknown by the editors of this newspaper, but alas there must be a reason for this, one can only speculate that constructs have caused more damage than good for such a decree to take hold and actually be implemented.

[!] The Archduke of the Petra read over the latest issue of the local newspaper. "Lots of news this time around," he muttered to his newly-wed wife. After finishing the article, his silver eyes glance across the Kurai Kuni section. "Perhaps, I should write to an old Samurai I met; Tsukinomiya Shuji..." he commented offhandedly before he folded the newspaper, placing it on cushion beside him.
