    A CALL TO ALL CLANS OF WICK



     

    Gbei2QlRKW7VT67xMgeH3QfIXfGbdCpQoiYFGolB-rS2kCs3nbDJ-bZpXjQ-y8-KklhT-AnN-ZA5AsdsJbQXzquFdA9FKIZxwVM8K4U1oDH71vSRT_V4yExHsgUF7knUJgQgLmoVX2WFWV_EcUVyDSA

    ____________________________________________________________________________

     

    [!] The missive would be sent en masse, carried by caravans of the notorious and famed 

    Wick Courier Rats™. These letters only reaching the hands of those intended to receive them.

    ___________________________________________________



     

    My children and descendents, I have awoken. From my slumber I find myself irritated with the current state and proceedings of the Wick name and family. I have built generations worth of wealth for our family, and yet I find it in almost ruin? I call the first Wick’s moot in the past two continents - together we will restore the name and image of our historic and monumental house, the HOUSE OF WICK. Following I will list a plan of happenings and grievances I have for the coming moot - these will be discussed amongst the elders and Elector Wicks (if such tradition has been kept to). 

     

    All members of the many Clans of Wick that refuse attendance of such meetings will be tracked, found, and forced to conform - or meet the hand of their elders, spending the rest of their days amongst the horrors of the Wickwald, forced to walk in the malice of Woltaine - far from the light of GODAN.


     

    FIRSTLY,  

    The Structure of Power

               A clear image of the ancient traditional internal government of the clans will be painted for any remaining Wick households. An election will take place naming the following positions: Grand Wick, Elector Wick (Two within each household or clan), Keeper of Spoils and Plunder, Aegis of Knowledge, and Rat Lord. 

     

    Here will also be discussed the succession of ancient titles and relics.

     

    SECONDLY,

    The Reaches and Holdings of Our Name

              A more clear definition of our ancient and current titles will be discussed, and the history of those will be learned to those attending. This being a time to learn tradition, Wickstory, and what it means to carry this very noble, and very historically valuable name.

     

    LASTLY,

    The Future of Our House and Image

              Before the end of our proceedings we will discuss any current grievances, a tradition of all past Wick Moots called “the Airing of Grievances”. Any aspirations for the future generations will be brought up and planned here as well.

    ________________________________________

     

    AND UNTIL WE MEET,

    /s/ His Royal Majesty, Ser Siegmund Arend Wick, af the Wickwald,

    Eternal Enemy of All Baruch Folk, King of Vandoria, Rightful Lord to the Embermoore, Baron of Kerzenwick, Right Hand of the Vermin Lord, Keeper of Wickstory, Protector of Vienne, Protector of the Wickwald, the Lone Ranger of Reza, Kapitan Knight of the Golden Hussars, Shepherd of the Crow Knights, Shepherd of the Golden Hussars, Duke of Dust, etc etc...

  3. A Final Farewell

     

     


     

     

    I write this in hopes to make amends with the people of Aaun, and my own family of the house Alstion. I formally revoke and renounce any claim I, or my children might ever have in the throne of Aaun. With my most sincere apology to my father, The Prince of Alstion, Charles I, I didn't mean to ever cause issues or turbulence for you or your nation, I am sorry. And with my most sincere apology to my brother, The Lord of Alba, James Leopold, I am sorry for ever tormenting or speaking against your claim to throne, you are the rightful heir to the nation of Aaun, this is something I cannot and will not change.

     

    My return has been appreciated by few, and to those few I say thank you, but the sea calls me back. I hope that any tension or worry of my return is swiftly settled and resolved, as my presence will no longer be something to worry of, nor will the chances or possibility of my line sitting on the throne of Aaun. Please do not treat my children differently because of the flaws in my actions and words, let them walk among you all like you would any other, they are innocent, and should be treated like such.

     

    This being the last time I am heard publicly, I will have it be known as my wish.

     

    Robert Owyn, my second son, you will be raised by your elder brother, Caius.

    To you I leave my circlet of platinum, and tartan, I hope you wear these both with pride.

     

    Caius Godwin, my first son, I leave you with the responsibility of raising Robert.

    And to you also I leave the navy, all ships, and my glaive of lunarite.

     

    I pray in my absence you both will take great care and importance of the health and safety of your mother, Lucia, as well as both of your sisters, Alexandria and Lyanna.

     

    All other valuables of mine will be left in storage until Robert Owyn comes of age to lead this family of ours, only then will he decide what happens to these items, and to whom they belong.

     

    With this I bid you all farewell, Aaun will live forever in me. TANDEM TRIUMPHANS.

     

    Humbly,

    Prince Emil Caius of Aaun

    Shortly after writing and sending out copies of this letter around the lands of Aaun, Emil would drag behind him a chest of all his belongings, a note atop it "For Caius". The Prince making his way out of the city of Florentine, he would find a tree just by the river, a comfortable little spot. There is where Emil would look to the water and smile, a stray tear rolling down his cheek as he hummed the anthem of his recently formed navy. After a few moments of thinking back on his life, it would be done, Emil Caius would take his own life under that tree, laying there with a smile on his face.

    [!]

  4. Emil Caius screams in pain and sorrow at the hearing of this news. One of his greatest friends and teachers robbed of his life. The hands of the Prince shaking as he would go through fits of denial. "He's a Wick, he can't be gone so easily!" The Alstion shouts, slamming his fist into the desk of his quarters, walking out to the deck of his ship and looking to the skies above with a few stray tears rolling down his cheek. "Until we meet again, Bult." He'd mutter, slowly shutting his eyes, standing in disbelief.

     

    Siegmund Wick turns a wicked smile under his damned helm, a smile so wide flesh and sinew ripping audibly from the sides of his mouth. "Another page in Wickstory is turned.." The knight of rot hums, a few loose and very animal cackles being let out into the deep, cursed woods of Dobrov. Standing slowly from his stoop the knight would turn to face in the direction of the Wick's death. "We will meet soon, nephew." The shepherd would bark to the air, beginning to march off, a shrouded and terrible figure behind him, trailing along slowly.

  6. ____________________________________________________________________________

    My hands are clean.

    It has recently come to my attention that I have been framed for such a heinous and GODless act. A letter has surfaced claiming to be written by my close friend and mentor, Bult Wick, stating that it was I who was responsible for the disappearance and supposed death of the missing Sarkozic girl.

     

    This matter had only even come to my attention after settling the horrifying crimes done to my friend Sigismond Varoche, to claim I would do such a terrible thing in a time of mourning is truly disgusting.

     

    I am sure this is one of the poor plots and attempts by these Adrian vermin to stir unrest in our people, the people of Aaun. But do not let such false claims concern you, my hands are clean, and my blade at rest. I was informed that this Sarkozic girl was seen returning to Velec after returning the bodies to Bult and I.

     

    What happened to the girl can only be assumed as terrible and stomach-turning. On her walk home she was most likely picked up by those same Adrian soldiers that should be protecting her life, yet I only imagine they took it instead. The Adrian men who seek to destroy our home, and harm our innocent citizenry do the same to their own, all in hopes of doing harm to me.

     

    If you doubt my words, I invite you to Vienne. My palms will be turned over, and my hands clean of any crime. My hands and blade will rest, waiting to raise for the coming battle, then, and only then, will my hands be stained with the red ichor of these Adrian scoundrels.

    III. CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS

     

    With life at sea also comes various customs and traditions, it is therefore an obligation to follow these traditions within the navy.


     

    DRINKING GAME: THE CASK RACE

    The Aaunic Royal Navy has a tradition of holding a drinking game known as the Cask Race. This game is usually played on the eve of a major naval battle or when the crew has returned from a successful voyage. The game involves a race where crew members must drink a full cask of ale as fast as they can. The crew members who finish their cask first win the race.

    The Cask Race is not only a test of drinking ability, but also of endurance and mental strength. It is seen as a way to build camaraderie among the crew and to celebrate the hard work they have put in during their voyage.

    THE NAVY HYMN

    The Aaunic Royal Navy has a traditional chant/song known as the Navy Hymn. The Navy Hymn is sung by the crew during important ceremonies such as the commissioning of a new ship, the promotion of an officer, or the laying of a wreath in honor of fallen comrades.

    The Navy Hymn is a solemn and respectful song that honors the sacrifices made by those who serve in the Navy. It speaks to the bravery and courage required to face the dangers of the sea, and the importance of the Navy in protecting the nation's interests.

    Verse 1: Oh hear us, Lord, we pray to thee As we set sail upon the sea Our ship is strong, our crew is brave Guide us safely through each wave

    Chorus: For we are the sailors of the Aaunic Royal Navy Bound by duty, honor, and loyalty We stand united, through storm and strife Protecting our land and way of life

    Verse 2: Our journey takes us far from shore To battle foes and win once more We face the unknown with steady hand And fight for freedom throughout the land

    Chorus: For we are the sailors of the Aaunic Royal Navy Bound by duty, honor, and loyalty We stand united, through storm and strife Protecting our land and way of life

    Verse 3: When our time on earth is done And we return to where we begun May our legacy be one of pride As we rest forever by the tide

    Chorus: For we are the sailors of the Aaunic Royal Navy Bound by duty, honor, and loyalty We stand united, through storm and strife Protecting our land and way of life.

     

    THE CROSSING OF THE SEAS

    The Aaunic Royal Navy celebrates the successful completion of a voyage around the continent with a festival known as the "Crossing of the Seas". This festival marks the end of the training period for a new class of navy men who are graduating to become full members of the crew. It is a time of great celebration, camaraderie, and honor.

    The festival begins with a grand parade through the town, led by the ship's captain and crew. The new graduates are adorned in their finest uniforms, carrying the flags of the United Kingdom of Aaun and the Aaunic Royal Navy. They march alongside their fellow crew members who have successfully completed the journey around the continent.

    After the parade, the crew gathers for a grand feast in honor of the occasion. Tables are set with the finest foods and drinks, including roasted meats, fresh fruits, and ale. The captain gives a speech, recognizing the hard work and dedication of the new graduates and the entire crew who sailed the seas with them. They are presented with their official certificates, recognizing their successful completion of the training period and welcoming them as full members of the Aaunic Royal Navy.

    The festival continues with various games and competitions held throughout the day. The crew participates in a rowing competition, testing their strength and endurance as they race against one another in the sea. There is also a target-shooting competition, where the crew showcases their accuracy and skill with a bow and arrow. The winners of these competitions are presented with special awards, recognizing their talents and contributions to the crew.

    As the day comes to a close, the crew gathers for a final ceremony. A bonfire is lit on the beach, and the crew sings sea shanties and traditional songs, celebrating their journey around the continent and the new members who have joined their ranks. The festival concludes with a spectacular fireworks display, lighting up the sky with vibrant colors and patterns. It is a joyous celebration, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the Aaunic Royal Navy and its crew.

     

    IV. OATH OF SERVICE

     

    The Oath of Service is said when one wishes to join the Aaunic Royal Navy.

    I will uphold the traditions and values of the Royal Navy, always striving to be the best that I can be. I will work tirelessly to improve my skills and knowledge, always seeking to learn from those around me.

     

    I will show respect and dignity to my fellow sailors, treating them with the same level of honor and integrity that I expect from them. I will be a role model and a leader, setting an example for others to follow.

     

    Above all, I will remain loyal to the United Kingdom of Aaun, and will always be ready to put my life on the line in defense of our great nation. This is my solemn oath, and I will uphold it with every breath I take.”


     

    REQUIREMENTS OF PLACEMENT 

     

    Each recruit will be placed under supervision of their own respective Petty Officer, it will be the Petty Officer’s duty to assign a task for each trait of requirement. Once the recruit has finished a task for each trait, he will set sail around the continent with the rest of his graduating class, landing back at the ports of Aaun to join in the festival of “The Crossing of the Sea”.

     

    Selflessness: As a member of The Aaunic Royal Navy, you must demonstrate a selfless commitment to serving the needs of the crew and the greater mission of the navy. This means placing the needs of others above your own and being willing to sacrifice personal comfort and convenience for the good of the team.

  9. MOMENTS TOO SOON

    An announcement of birth.


    On the 16th of Sigismund’s End, 1897 - A red haired boy was found as his mother left the lands of the Kingdom of Aaun. The boy bore a resemblance to his great-grandfather, Leopold John Alstion; having the same hair and eyes as that of an Alstion.

     

    As he was found by his father, Prince Emil Caius, Duke of Balamena, abandoned in the Grafschaft of Minitz, he was returned into the arms of his father. The boy named Caius Godwin, found himself in the lap of his father once again, ready to be raised as Caius “The Bastard Prince” Godwin Jrent.

     

    The boy is to be raised by his biological father, the Prince Emil, Duke of Balamena, despite the circumstances of his birth.

     


    Signed,

    HRH, Prince Emil Caius

  10. Emil Caius, reads such missive from his room within Rosenfort, going to the feast hall to show it to his good friend, Lord Louis Joseph. @sashimichopped

     

    "Lord Rosius, could you image such a thing to be true? A true shame they act this way, conspiring against us in private." The prince laughing a few times as he readied himself for a ride back to his Father's room, wherever it be. "It seems I did what I could to build the bridges, yet they wished to burn them before they were even finished.." With that he would dip his head to the Lord of Aaun, going to take his place beside his father and the others of Aaun in these very strange times.
