The 13th of Lothar’s Gift, in the year of our lord 108 B.A Within the city of Portoregne, a thundering cry surmounted from the crown prince as he called out for assistance. “Help, Baby!” were the only words he exclaimed over and over. The soon to be first time father was calmed by the labouring wife. Together with the doctor Gailbraith, they removed themselves to a quieter area. To the Citizens and Allies of the Kingdom of Balian It brings great joy within our hearts to announce the birth of a son. The child came to this world with the cries of a babe, and shall one day hold an audience with the nation's people as their king. Thus, the child shall be named @Andustar May the light of the Seven Skys shine favourably towards his future, and the future of his people. In honour of the successful delivery, a reception to greet the new prince will be held later this saints day, where commemorative gifts will be handed out to all in attendance. Signed by, HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS, , Prince of Monterosa, Duke of Atrus and Keeper of St. Lothar’s Hold. HER ROYAL HIGHNESS,, , Princess of Balian, Duchess-Consort of Atrus.

Prince Alexandros Casimir looked over the missive after his meeting with the Patriarch, his hed dipped a few times before he went to find John offering him the missive "I promise you zio, we shall bring him back to where he belongs. And shal lthey not meet our demands then the Hold shall march upon their doorstep and rian the fires of heaven upon them until nothing is left but dust in the wind"

As the crimson nephilim looked over the missive he would turn to his bothers and sisters arching a faint brow "Maybe its time to visit these elves? I hear they have a very nice tree on a small island out south..." Urn'eilor then pocketed the missive keeping a faint grin as flame in huses of pitch black and gold took the shape of a burning tree within his grasp, the imagery dancing before him @koanda@Aehkaj@Lhindir_

Anger, pain.. sorrow. That was all that filled the Duke as the words were delivered to him. Johan stood upon the roofs of their keep a few fateful tears leaving his eyes as he looked to the horizon.. Little was known of exactly what had happened, yet the lone eagles return to Aquilae could only mean one thing..

The young Prince would smile waving the invitation "Gracius days, finally Charles is to be married! Let us both walk into this new path and reality of our lives with blessed days and close kin" Alexandros then placed the invitation on a frame at his office ensuring to mark the date

A young Prince smiled then looking over the missve, his head bopping a few times before he framed it and handed it to his friend Marcel @SmartScout "See, I told you thinks always works out if you behave nice!"

"One should think they would attempt to do something for themselves by now Imma.. Yet it must be said that the Caelian's seem to be dying out.. and the city of Healun'or is dead most of the time itself. Only Kaethul keeps the Silver State floathing in truth." The young Prince shook his head then as he took a sip of his lemonade..

Johan would be standing within his kitchen, the duke as most often found cover in flour arching a brow as he looked to his wife "Wait what? Could you read that to me again Naty? I.. I think I might have had a chocolate chip or two in my ear.." Having then put the cookies within the oven the Duke would muble for a few moments as he looked to her, his eyes blinking quite quickly as he leaned upon his cane looking to her "T.. this is going to hurt our wallet ain't it?" he then took a deep breath looking at the cookies that raised. "Well at least we can be proud ai? After all, Balian has always been a nation that could proudly say we have not over charged our Peers and still, we can say that we are not even if the prices have become higher! Imagine if we had to pay as much as Petra or Haense... I'm just glad we can enjoy our food, our deserts and our keep without having our banks go empty or having to force our children to pay their dues before their time."

Alexandros Casimir looked over the missive, a slight sadness shaping his visage. The young prince taking a deep breath as he looked out his window then "We must thank you for all your years of service dear John... And I for one, would want to thank you for teaching me the noble word of ****"

"They have done what? why... I love the tattoos..." the Duke pouted a little as he was finishing up the dinner for the family.. The food leaving the oven as he put in some cookies instead filling up the fireplace with another log "Could they not rather just test those with ink rather than ban it? These marks have become a staple of our culture.." Johan then shook his head trying to look over his shoulder towards his large eagle tattoo....

The Duke of Aquilae looked over the missive, a faint smile resting on his visage as he dipped his head a few times "Ser Robyn as presented his house and carried this torch with such an honor. To think he warded under my great grandmother when he first came to our beloved Kingdom.. it seems like such a distant time..." he looked towards his wife then his smile growing larger "You will do grand in this Naty, I can feel it!" @_yink_

A Decree of Light: Clarification on Allegations and Affirmation of Resolve In the year of our Lord, 100. B.A Esteemed Citizens and Dignitaries, It has come to our attention with concern that there are rumours circulating regarding the alignment of our Crown and Kingdom with entities of darkness and infernal origin. These rumours seem to have emerged following the recent accord between ourselves, Hyspia, and the esteemed Silver State of Haelun'or. We wish to clarify that the agreement in question was crafted out of a necessity to address ongoing concerns stemming from certain actions by Caelian vassals under the Silver State's jurisdiction. While the terms of the accord seek to mitigate these concerns, they by no means suggest any lack of mutual respect or cooperation between our Kingdom and the Silver State itself. Our decision to address these matters was motivated by a sincere commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of all inhabitants of our realm, as well as visitors to our land. We recognize the challenges posed by the actions of certain individuals and groups, and it is our duty to address these challenges with prudence and diplomacy. Moreover, we are pleased to announce a positive development amidst these discussions. Prince Alexandros Casimir has taken it upon himself to oversee the construction of a significant defensive structure, aimed at fortifying our realm against potential threats, including darkspawn and other malevolent forces. This endeavour, which we will soon unveil as St. Lothar’s Hold, stands as a testament to our dedication to safeguarding our borders and ensuring the security of our people. Let us also acknowledge the valor and collaboration demonstrated by our Crown Prince, Father Rhys var Ruthern, and Cardinal Vallorik. Together, they have exemplified our Kingdom's and the faiths resolve in confronting challenges and upholding our shared values. In conclusion, we reiterate our unwavering commitment to justice, peace, and cooperation among all realms. We extend our hand in friendship to our neighbours, including Caelia, and reaffirm our shared goal of fostering harmony and prosperity throughout our lands. With steadfast determination, AD GLORIAM DEI, HER ROYAL MAJESTY, Sybille I, by the Grace of GOD, Queen of Balian, Princess of Providence, Duchess of Helena and Lorraine, Countess of Pompourelia, Viscountess of Eflen and Anatis, Baroness of Renzfeld, Brucca, Valens, Malenos and Ciavola, Lady of Portoregne, Atrus and Monterosa, Warden of La Costa Rubinissima, Protector of the Heartlanders and the South, etcetera HER ROYAL HIGHNESS, Alexandros Casimir Novellen d’Atrus, Prince of Monterosa, Duke of Atrus and Keeper of St Lothar’s Hold.

Xander smiled as he looked over the missive bopping his head a few times "About time, that meeting far to long.." the young Prince then moving towards the square of the city eating his honeydrops

The young Prince of Monterosa and heir to the Kingdom of Balian looked over the missive, Alexandros brows raised slightly as he began to pounder upon this idea.. this dream of some. Yet he would not forget the pages of history, what has been and what may become.. the good and the bad.. yet he wondered, he dreamt.. but most of all, he waited.

A grin would form upon the visage of a nephilim, his scaled hands moving to grip the eye of Ezren of Tuvia looking over it within his grasp as he went to stand "May father enjoy both this offering as well as the Crown of their Queen"

The young Prince had entered the Basilica not long after the fire had been put out, confused and wondering what was going on the young Heir had demanded a response as the people gathered conversed. One mumbling a sentence that foroze the young Prince for a moment as Xander looked towards her with a stoney gaze "What did you just say about my papa? Where is he?" the Prince asked looking then towards the two grown people who walked towards him, one aiming to take the Prince away for his own well being, yet as the man moved closer his voice rose staring the man down. "Don't you dare touch me!" his gaze locked towards Gwenyth then, his god mother, a knight of the royal guard. Then as he once more asked "Where is my papa" he finally learned of his fathers fate, promises were made to the prince of revenge and punishment for the crime that had been committed. Yet he would have to think to himself of how they as common men could possibly defeat such a enemy when his father could not. Something changed within the Prince that day, the child who had usually ran around with a grin smiled no more, a child who wished adventure kept to his quarters or the library of the palace. A cloak missing from his fathers wardrobe now often seen wrapped around the young Prince as he looked over the ocean views from his private quarters, thinking.. day dreaming.. reading.. praying for the hope of once again being held by his father.
