ON THE DEMISE OF BARON ADRIAN ALEXANDER HELVETS

TO THE ARCHDUCHY OF ALBA AND THE HOLY IMPERIUM,

 

It is with heavy heart that the House of Helvets does announce the tragic passing of ADRIAN ALEXANDER HELVETS, Baron of Owynsburg and Master of Myre Hall, after nearly a decade of fevered illness.

 

A capable statesman and former Speaker of the House of Lords, the Baron of Owynsburg was tragically struck down in his prime by an illness believed to have been acquired abroad during one of his many business ventures in the trade of livestock. He has long suffered from this affliction, so we can only pray that GOD has finally allowed him the hard-earned peace that has evaded him for many years. He has been laid to rest  privately by his lady wife and his leal household and beside his late son Lord Foltest outside the walls of Owynsburg.

 

Herein is the succession to the Barony of Owynsburg likewise affirmed to pass into the hands of LADY DOROTHEA MAGDALENA HELVETS, who has reached her age of majority. She shall now take up all titles and properties held by her father, as is her birthright. 

 

The Baroness-Dowager shall maintain her title by virtue of her widowhood, and maintain a chamber within Myre Hall to be used at her leisure.

 

The House of Helvets asks for the offering of prayers on behalf of the late lord’s soul, during this period of mourning, and asks for condolences to be given to the Baroness of Owynsburg as she undertakes this newfound burden of peerage.

Signed,

HER EXCELLENCY, Susanna Helvets, Lady Chancellor of Alba, 

Baroness-Dowager of Owynsburg

At the very same balcony from where he originally heard of Lord Adrian's ailments, Ledicort would read of his demise. He would immediately reach for letter and ink, for the conversation from before urged him to do so. 

[Metamancy 1759]

"Haah..."

. . .

"Adrian..."

. . .

"ADRIAN...."

 

For somewhere, deep within the High Hells, there was always someone waiting for Adrian, should he come.
