Fie

Louisa sharpens her blade.

Louisa thinks back to the day she was married to Gustaf. A bittersweet smile played over her withering features as she turned to her daughter and informed her, "he who loves deeply mourns bitterly."

Odille af Acre traversed her way from Petra back to Castle Vilain, a certain withered woman trailing behind her, words tumbled from the mad woman's maw for the entire journey back - even as they both settled into the ivory keep, "Mother's are not to blame for their son's actions," The girl uttered to her with a nod of assurance following shortly after, "You'd stay if you loved me."  

The withered madwoman felt knots in her chest for the whole journey back. Her throat tightened as they travelled through the grove where Aloisia peered about with large eyes. When they reached the square, she pulled her hood over her head and lowered it only when they had reached the confines of the ivory keep. Aloisia gave a slight nod to her daughter's reassurance - though it did not help her shake the feeling that she was at fault.

But the fact remained - she would remain if there are battles to fight.

When word reached the Baroness, no language in the world could describe the feeling of her heart sinking and sorrow filling her whole body. She stood there, near the aviary of Acre with tears in her glistering brown eyes. Aloisia has always hated to cry in public - but who could blame her to do just that after her friend, confidante and father has passed away? Their connection was not by blood, that much is true, but he has been there for her as a parent ever since she was eighteen. He had been there when she was low, when she was high, when Gustaf and her married and when he disappeared. He had been there when her son was killed and when the crops would not grow.

He should at least have lived to see the sun shine down on those golden fields. Oh what Luisa would give to see Hannes smile like that just one more time!

As the tears continued to roll down her face, Luisa began to prepare herself for the following days, weeks, months and even years. All she could do now to honor Hannes' memory would be to raise her son Volker as Hannes has raised Gustaf. 

"No kings but us," she whispered in silence to herself as she prepared to announce the death to the townsfolk.

"Wow Norland really just got their ass whooped without a war... Embarassing," commented Luisa as she took a sip from her bottle of ale.

"Those orenian "princesses" as well as the rest of the royal family and the left-over orenian imperial family were stripped of their royal and noble titles when we won the rebellion," said Aloisia as she looked over the many pictures, trying to talk one of her sons into courting. Then, pointing to yet another lady, she commented "... What do you think of that one, Sepp? She looks kind!" @XOCO @Gambit

Mathea smiles from whatever cottage her ex husband had abandoned her in. Soon, she could make her return.

"Da **** they doin' ova there?" asks Antonia as she watches the many many dwarves leave Urguan from out of castle Vilain with a comically large spyglass.

"SEREMVS DELENDA EST," bellowed the Baroness of Acre.

"The buxom elven maidens who kidnapped Hannes send us his correspondences from time to time," Stanimar says aloud, for no reason at all, because it's not like he can read minds or anything. 

Aloisia nods gently. "Ah! That does make sense... Wait ho-!"

Aloisia nods approvingly - but she wonders how Hannes could sign the proclamation. Perhaps it was an old one that only just got to see the light of day?

Aloisia smiles.

Antonia shifts uncomfortably in her seat by the fire place. She had to re-read the same paragraph on a text she was reviewing no less than four times. Gripped with anxiety, she turned to Emilie and Ser Uther, asking: 

"Have I been too strict? I never should have threatened to send her away... By GOD!" The woman hid her face in her hands and exclaimed; "Yet again, I have failed as a mother. I pray Gustaf won't have to see me like this - I could not stand the shame. Oh Petra... Come back home..."

The Annician Tiara

A brittle creature rose from the depths of a cave system. Upon her wrinkled and dry features that clung to her bones, a thin smile could be found. She, who was once known as Anne Caroline of Oren so liked to  be reminded of her heritage. Turning the torn and tattered missive about in her boney fingers, she recalled a tiara she owned when she was but a girl.

"It was similar to this one," she thought with a sense of pride before returning to her slumber.

me too ee

free narthok nect and hugh...

Laurentina smiled. Finally her big brother, her best friend... Helton was avenged. She could sleep easy now that she knew it.

Also, no overly vulgar questions or requests for personal information please.

damn there go my plans.
ANYWAY: favourite memory in oren/haense? funniest RP you remember? what was it like to see the server de/evolve in a decade? what was your favourite and what was your least favourite map and why?

"My brother is a whimp. The **** we dont apologise. 'Ate Daftwoods," says Aloisia of Rivia

"Wait so.. He betrays the Empire, joins Balian, betrays Balian, joins the kingdom and sucks toes, then betrays the kingdom and joins Acre and then he rejoins Balian? Did I get this straight, Hannes?" Aloisia turned to her father in law. @Ryanark

Noone from Acre doxxed you or lionbileti. Again, we are sorry that this happened to you guys, but it wasnt anyone from or associated to Acre.

 "They apologise to the harvest lords but not to me?" asked Aloisia, who was grieving the loss of her firstborn.

@Ryanark

"... Is it over or do we need to be rid of the traitor Maciej, father?" asked Aloisia of Hannes. 

very based!

Aloisia grumbled quietly upon seeing the missive. Finally, she gave off a nod and put it to the side. "A nice attempt at reuniting families - but I fear that too many are already too... set in their ways."
