THE ROYAL CENSUS OF 1880
ISSUED AND CONFIRMED BY HIS ROYAL MAJESTY KING FREDERICK I
On the 9th of Godfrey’s Triumph, 1879
‘LO TO OUR BELOVED SUBJECTS,
The 10th year of Our reign has come and gone, and the 8th decade of the century approaches. Thus, we extend these pamphlets once more to ask the public for their cooperation. The Census is utilized in numerous facets of government, where data from the count is collected to serve the interests of the public. In the near future, the elections for the Mayor of Vienne require the recording of addresses for the purpose of fair voting, and de-centralization occurring nationwide promises a growth in our provincial population splits. This Census has been published early to account for the interests of the Royal Court regarding Astercalia.
[!] Attached is a copy of the Census.
GO WITH GOD.
IN NOMINE DEI,
HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, Frederick I, King of Oren, forever August, King of Renatus, Curon, Kaedrin, Salvus, and Seventis, Grand Duke of Ves, Duke of Vienne, Helena, Novellen, Furnestock, Petra, Oltremont, South Arentania, and Lorraine, Count of Mardon, Baron of Renzfeld, Protector of the Heartlanders and Farfolk, etcetera
HER ROYAL MAJESTY, Vivienne of Savoy, Queen consort of Oren, forever August, Queen consort of Renatus, Curon, Kaedrin, Salvus, and Seventis, Grand Duchess consort of Ves, Duchess consort of Vienne, Helena, Novellen, Furnestock, Petra, Oltremont, South Arentania, and Lorraine, Countess consort of Mardon, Baroness consort of Renzfeld, Protector of the Heartlanders and Farfolk, etcetera14 -
The Royal Registry
In libris libertas - In books there is freedom
The purpose of the Lady Registrar and her office is to aid the King and Lord Chancellor in keeping records of the various archives of the Royal Crown, including the upkeep of letters patent, the awarding of honors and academic degrees, and researching events of our nation’s rich history. In the past, the office, under its former designation as the Office of Civil Affairs, has served as exclusively a keeper of archives and publisher of public information, but in recent years the office has expanded to a place of research on the Orenian apparatus we so desire to see fruitful.
Under the leadership of Lady Registrar Sophie of Provins, the office seeks to act as an archivist of cultures of the Kingdom in large-scale public documents that may be accessed by anyone of the general public, while also studying historic documents to create easily accessible knowledge to the subjects of the Crown regarding the nation’s past.
The Lady Registrar
The senior most role of the office, held by Her Excellency Lady Sophie Pruvia. This position sits on the Privy Council and acts as an advisor to the King. The Lady Registrar also acts, within her own office, as the head of all affairs- devising plans for the office and tasking the members with objectives to complete said plans.
The Master Archivist
Second to the Lady Registrar, and equal with the Master of Entry, the Master Archivist acts as head of historical research, keeping of archives, and scribing of current events At this time the position lies empty and is temporarily held by the Lady Privy Seal [amyselia]. Current objectives include drafts of a short timeline of Modern History of Royal and Imperial Oren as well as petitioning the Kingdom’s peers for the creation of their own documentation detailing their individual house’s history and culture.
The Master of Entry
Lastly is the Master of Entry, one of the most important and highly regarded roles within the Royal government. The Master of Entry acts as the head of any Orenian Entry Officers who invite new citizens in and aid them in their integration into the city. Currently the office is headed by Mister Ebereth Iomharach [6byte]. The office’s objectives are to invite new citizens into the city and the creation of a simple guide for the aforementioned new citizens to be better integrated into the city.
SIGNED,
Her Excellency, Lady Sophie Clementine of ProvinsLady Registrar of Oren & Countess consort of Susa
His Excellency, Lord Conrad Armande
Lord Chancellor of Oren & Baron of Guise
Her Excellency, the Princess Claude of Savoy

THE 2ND SITTING OF
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
The commotion of the Temesch Hall comes to an eerie quiet as the Chancellor takes to the seat of the Speaker, presiding over the meeting of that midday. Conrad de Falstaff’s voice booms over the hall.
THE SECOND SITTING OF HIS MAJESTY’S GENERAL ASSEMBLY HAS HEREBY COMMENCED, HITHERTO WITH THOSE FOLLOWING IN ATTENDANCE.
RESIDENTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS OF VIENNE
THE BARONET OF WESTFALL
THE BARONET OF CASTILE
THE BARONY OF CORWINSBURG

THE BARONY OF ROSIUS

SITTING LEADER OF THE ASSEMBLY: MR. DIETRICH BARCLAY @MadOne
TRANSCRIPT:
SpoilerConrad de Falstaff: “Burgess and Burgesses of the General Assembly, we welcome you to the second sitting of His Majesty's assembly. With the absence of the Privy Seal, I will be acting as speaker for this sitting.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “It seams our Leader of this Assembly is absence. Is there a burgess to take his place?”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Aye aye aye.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “State your name, and your property of issue!”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Dietrich Lothar Barclay, I own the barclay farmstead near the chapel on the road.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “Blessed be, Dietrich 'The Iron Defender' Barclay. Are there any in opposition?”
Conrad de Falstaff: “None is taken.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “Rise to the stand, Dietrich.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay rises from his seat, moving across the assembly augustly as he took the stand.
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “I have an opposition.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “The Baronet raises a point! What is your opposition, ser?”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “From what I know there's no farm remotely near the chapel in Petra.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “Do we have a response?”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “It is in construction, but the land has been parceled and in ownership. This is public knowledge, and can be confirmed by both His Majesty the King, and the Chancellor.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “My Lady Viceroy has confirmed this, Baronet.”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “That's unacceptable.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Are you saying that I am illegitimate, ser?”
Mathilda von Alstreim: “He has rights to land- it is the same as being propertyowner.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “That I am a liar?”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “Then every single person that owns a small plot of dirt and grass would have full rights.”
Mathilda von Alstreim: “The amount of people granted rights to lands are not many.”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “My point still stands.”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “There's nothing there but dirt.”
Demitriyus: “And yet remains irrelevant.”
Mathilda von Alstreim: “But it is stated in the Edict of Temesch that those granted rights to lands and those Propertyowners of Vienne are to be granted seat in this Assembly.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “He has been leased land by the government of the Crown.”
Mathilda von Alstreim: “Yet- he is bestowed Rights to Land, and as such he is entitled to a seat.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “It is my choice to whatever I please with my property, if I want it to be an empty place, then so it is. If I want to build a castle, ten so it is, Sir. As far as the government and this august assembly is concerned, I am a legal charter holder.”
Leon Barclay: “Hear hear.”
Mathilda von Alstreim: “Hear hear.”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “I withdraw then.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “The Assembly has spoken! You have been favored on this day, Dietrich.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “Let us proceed into business.”
Calliope Renata: “Good wits upon this Barclay, verily.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Right, let us get into the first order of business.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Our most august members of the assembly, noble burghers, and representatives. The first issue of this assembly will be in relation to the daily experience of the common orener in our glorious Kingdom.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “As many of you know, our Kingdom is a bastion of virtue and morality, and through His Majesty, King Frederick's will, this ought to be maintained in perpetuity.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “Hear, hear!”
Calliope Renata: “I love virtue and morality.”
Leon Barclay: “Hear hear”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Members of the assembly shall put forth their nominations, and then we shall discuss each character, and then take a vote.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “We are hereby open for nominations.”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “Define what a Vizier is.”
Leon Barclay: “I'd say Dietrich himself.”
Leon Barclay: “From a Barclay whose family knows no immorality or bastards, and a man who showed his good wits just minutes ago…”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “A Vizier, as I have mentioned is a newly chartered governmental seat, which holds power over enforcing morality. When we speak of morality, we mean the boundaries set by the Church and the state as to what constitutes morality.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “How do you enforce such morality, or maintain it?”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “The answer is, obviously, our King, in his wisdom has chartered the law of the land and enshrined it in the institutions of the state, and many immoral acts are also immoral in the eyes of his law.”
Maciej Jazloviecki: “My father used to maintain morality in Savoy….”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “The vizier simply oversees this legal process, but he furthermore takes in a more public approach. He advocates for morality, and campaigns for the citizens to uphold themselves in earnest fashion.”
Calliope Renata: “Verily, I maintain that such requirements must be stringent.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Sir Conrad Falstaff has nominated Mister Ben Jones.”
Leon Barclay: “Not very moral to sleep in the middle of the assembly”
Mathilda von Alstreim: “Have we voted on even creating such office, Lord Speaker?”
Conrad de Falstaff: “It is chartered in the Edict of Temesch, lady.”
Demitriyus: “If these are the ideals of the Church, should the Lord Vizier not be a man of the cloth?”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Who do you have in mind, as a man of cloth?”
Odessa: “That doesn't make sense.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “The assembly is happy to take your nomination.”
Father Goderyc: “I am a man of cloth….”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Nominees - Father Goderyc, Ben Jones…the fella who nominated himself, and me.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Any more nominations?”
Gorkus 'Jude' Kalrûk: “Me!”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Nominees - Father Goderyc, Ben Jones…the fella who nominated himself, and me.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Any more nominations?”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Let us vote.”
Calliope Renata: “Your Excellency! I have devised a simple test to judge the competence of the nominees.”
Calliope Renata: “If I might administer it quickly?”
Conrad de Falstaff: “Let us hear it.”
Calliope Renata: “Very well. I require all nominees to steady themselves.”
Calliope Renata: “Are you all prepared?”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “Oh I guess.”
Calliope Renata: “Well, prepare thyself, good sir.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Aye.”
Calliope Renata: “Each nominee shall name the Virtues of the Canon from the Scroll - in the next thirty seconds, starting now.”
Father Goderyc: “….”
Calliope Renata: “Time's up.”
Father Goderyc: “Poor test.”
Gorkus 'Jude' Kalrûk: “Why don' yah present each o' dem wit' ah hypothetical moral scenario?”
Conrad de Falstaff: “That seems much better to suffice.”
Leon Barclay: “Anyone can read from the book if they have it. Question is do they know how to apply it.”
Calliope Renata: “Verily, I leave this endeavor to the Assembly. Tis a fair point.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “This is a deviation from the process of the assembly.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Lady Alstreim, will you pursue this 'test' or after no one named the virtues, do you cede your claim?”
Calliope Renata: “I shall not. Tis not my business to pry further.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “All in favour of Father Goderyc, say aye.”
George Obedia: “Aye.”
Demitriyus: “Aye!”
Sir Solomon Frued Obedia: “Aye.”
Father Goderyc: “If you don't say aye you're not going to the Skies.”
Otton Jazloviecki: “Aye.”
Father Goderyc: “Thought so.”
Jacker Gendik: “Pardon?”
Hera de Rosius: “Aye.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “No soliciting the assemblymen!”
Leon Barclay: “That's kind of an immoral move to make….”
acker Gendik: “I see him more of a fit person then that father who dares to throw a threat to me.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Are the votes tallied?”
Father Goderyc: “Keep talking shit and we'll meet at the dueling grounds.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “The ayes are five. And the nays?”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “Nay.”
Jacker Gendik: “I'll put my sword in your eye.”
Jacker Gendik: “If you keep talking like that infront of the king.”
Baldovino Navarro: “Nay.”
Ebereth Iomharach: “Aye.”
Leon Barclay: “Nay.”
Jacker Gendik: “Nay.”
Father Goderyc: “Six!”
Waldemar of Reinmar: “Nay?”

Jacker Gendik: “How about a co ownership?”
Leon Barclay: “Nay.”
Baldovino Navarro: “Aye!”

Jacker Gendik: “Both parties own 50% of it!”
Odessa: “Nay.”
Jacker Gendik: “Nay.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Abstain.”
Mariana Antoinette: “Nay.”
Hera de Rosius: “Aye.”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “Nay.”
Gorkus 'Jude' Kalrûk: “Nevehmind, ah meant Nay.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “The ayes are one, and the nays are evermore! It clearly is out of contention.”

Baldovino Navarro: “Aye.”

Sir Solomon Frued Obedia: “Nay.”
Hera de Rosius: “Nay.”

Conrad de Falstaff: “Lord Barclay is to be sworn as the Lord Vizier, Vienne's officer of morality. Hurrah!”
Jacker Gendik: “Hurrah!”
Demitriyus: “Now name the virtues.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Fidelity.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Temperance.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Faith.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Diligence.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Patience.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Humility!”
Father Goderyc: “Cheating!”
Gorkus 'Jude' Kalrûk: “Don' forget Chastity.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “Stupendous, Lord Vizier. Stupendous.”
Father Goderyc: “He did not know them several Saint Minutes ago. He must be either a mage or a cheat.”
Leon Barclay: “He can't keep getting away with it!”
Dr Rigatoni: “That was only six.”
Dr Rigatoni: “There are seven virtues.'.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Oh, I must have forgotten the last one!”
Calliope Renata: “Better six than none. We all strive.”
Demitriyus: “Charity.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “I will learn from my holy kinsman, Patriarch Klaus..”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Onwards to the next issue!”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “As many of you know, what makes his Majesty exert his righteous control over all his domains comes down to efficient systems of communication and the commerce of information.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “This proposal was motioned by the military man, Augustus Rozenfeld, after noticing the miscommunication of some regiments garrisoned in different towns, and it proposes the creation of a courier service, in which all the lands of the King's domain shall upkeep their own aviaries.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Any questions on the implementation?”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Aye, Sir Cesar.”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “Well frankly we as a nation shouldn't sponsor or pay for this.”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “If this man deems it needed what stops him from operating his own company?”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “So you are concerned with the finances?”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “Its a waste of national resources and funding.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Couriers are a waste of funding?”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Are you saying that the King, when he needs to summon one of his vassals into the palace needs to walk there himself?”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Do you not see the necessity of a courier service?”
Demitriyus: “Couriers are the most essential part of any well functioning capital!”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “State funded are, as I said if he deems such a service is in such a hard demand, clearly nothing stops him from offering it.”
Leon Barclay: “Aren't most couriers underpaid anyway?”
Leon Barclay: “It's not like they'll cost much.”
Gorkus 'Jude' Kalrûk: “Ah can be ah courier!”
Leon Barclay: “I'll do it for free every now and then if needed. Traveling isn't all that bad”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “I am surprised by your filibusterig..Sir…couriers, not essential for national upkeep…anyway.”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “I'm just saying this is a waste for the state to fund and run, when he might aswell operate his own service.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Who?”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “The man who suggested it.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “He just saw some inefficiencies in the state's communications.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “It's not like he personally needs a courier.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Are you daft?”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “Are you?”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Onwards with more serious contentions.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “The ratman.”
Dr Rigatoni: “Musin. I believe that the implementation of aviaries would be a greivous misstep when instead funding could instead be allocated to the legal protection and support of privately run companies, creating competition in hopes of greater developments. Take for instance the Eastfleet Postal Service.”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “I'm made myself pretty clear if he saw there's a need clearly nothing stops him from operating such a service.”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “Why should the kingdom fund, and operate it, I have not seen issues with state mail going in or out.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Do you believe so? What if the availability of such free companies is lacking?”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “We may vote on this, assuming that there are many men up to create a company after the vote, but what if there are none willing to contract themselves for such work?”
Demitriyus: “In many ways, it is like the Kingdom funds your rambling by opening this sort of forum; sometimes the Kingdom must fund smaller things.”
Dr Rigatoni: “Because there is no legal precedent for the protection of couriers, package-runners must fend for themselves, failure to pay for services rendered subjects no punishment. I can recall an incident in which a courier was stiffed for payment and due to a lack of legal aid was made to hire mercenaries to extract his payment.”
Gorkus 'Jude' Kalrûk: “Courier woul' be faster an' less dangerouz dan dese birds dat every'un can shoot down.”
Dr Rigatoni: “It makes being a courier an unattractive avenue.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “Order, order. One at a time, please.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “Mouse, please continue.”
Grizhec'Raguk: “Same.”
Dr Rigatoni: “I believe that you would see competitive business practices- birds are fragile, easily interceptable, and this would enable advancements.”
Dr Rigatoni: “It would create work for the citizens of this kingdom, armed men to defend package runners, encoders for classified documentation, horse breeders to sell ponies for swiffer transport.”
Demitriyus: “As well as, if you allow the couriers to be funded by the state; you tie those companies to the state. Thereby preventing the possibility of international spies posing as couriers to intercept personal messages amongst the Orenian citizens.”
Leon Barclay: “Furthermore, is it really so bad for the government to provide more jobs for its people? The more opportunities there are for the people the better. And again, it would not wipe the treasury's coffers dry.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “If I may, perhaps we could have these companies register with the state, even if privately owned?”
Dr Rigatoni: “The kingdom need only keep a roster of licensed courier businesses; charge perhaps for the license. That's money coming into the state and friendly business.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Interesting. Seconded, the Chancellor.”
Father Goderyc: “How can we trust private companies with possible military letters.”
Demitriyus: “A registry and liscence ran through the state, amazing.”
Otton Jazloviecki: “Reputation, Father.”
Demitriyus: “The state military would hire their own couriers as well.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “It will be at their own discretion.”
Dr Rigatoni: “Indeed, that and encoded documents.”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “I motion for a vote.”
Leon Barclay: “A motion to vote sounds good at this point, ja.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “Those in favor?”
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “Aye.”
Demitriyus: “Aye.”
Maciej Jazloviecki: “Aye.”
Baldovino Navarro: “Aye.”
Cesar Alejandro Peter Komnenos: “Aye.”
Father Goderyc: “Aye.”
Otton Jazloviecki: “Aye.”
Leon Barclay: “Aye.”
Calliope Renata: “Aye.”
Hera de Rosius: “Aye.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “The ayes clearly have it. This resolution is passed!”
Conrad de Falstaff: “Hurrah! Jobs!”
Father Goderyc: “Speaker, if I may bring up my own issue at hand?”
Conrad de Falstaff: “You may, but make it quick, Father.”
Father Goderyc: “We must build a proper weapon to fight back against the Dragon that flies overhead almost every Saints Week.”
Father Goderyc: “I even wrote a letter to the King about it.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “A matter, for such substantive debate, will be relayed to our next sitting. That is, just my discretion.”
Father Goderyc: “Very well.”
Dr Rigatoni: “I may be of help.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “Baroness de Rosius, you may speak. But, let this debate unfold and conclude upon our next sitting.”
Hera de Rosius: “I would merely like to say that the Lex Arcana is more than delighted to provide any valiant man, woman, or mouse with enchanted weaponry in order to fight this ill-omen of a drake.”
Hera de Rosius: “That is all,” - “Thank you, Monsieur.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “The Assembly has heard the Baroness. The dragon will know our might!”
Conrad de Falstaff: “Lord Barclay, the Assembly would look favorably to tabling this debate for the next, and concluding this sitting.”
Dr Rigatoni: “If I may say one thing?”
Conrad de Falstaff: “Make it concise.”
Dr Rigatoni: “The dwarves utilized a grand engine known as 'Yemekar's absolution' for their purposes of combatting a dragon, I was one of the engineers responsible for the engine that ran that machine. I would be willing to pass on this method of engineering to the Orenian military engineers that they may design more effective siege machinery for this purpose.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “It seems we are in a plethora of military genius. Thank you, mouse.”
Dr Rigatoni: “Mhm.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “Let this be our last remark, as this sitting comes to a close. The transcript and votes will be published by our Lady Registrar.”
Conrad de Falstaff: “For Providence!” He declares, stepping down.
Dietrich Lothar Barclay: “This session is adjourned.”

LEASING OF COURIER SERVICES
A directive voted by the General Assembly that all properly functioning and privately ran courier services within the Orenian country, be it through the use of an aviary or not, must be registered with the Office of the Prefecture and held accountable to the state. The Assembly renders that there will be no public or state-mandated courier service, rather, funding and liability will be given to private businesses to exercise freedom to create their own services, in order to promote healthy competition - effectively aiding the local economy.

BY DECREE OF KING FREDERICK I OF OREN, the noble lords and ladies of the Kingdom were admitted into the Adriatic one-by-one, being announced by the Lady Privy Seal and progressing into the tent with their honor borne upon their shoulders. Inside, they received words of fortitude and transparency from one among many of His Majesty’s eloquent speeches. Leading his liegemen to audit their fellow lords, absent or present, His Majesty’s Adriatic resulted in the following:
The revocation of the Baronies of Whitewater and Draskovic into the titles in abeyance.
The revocation of the Counties of Provins, Vanderfall and Dobrov into the titles in abeyance.
Featuring the revelation of the Count of Dobrov’s siring of three illegitimate bastards and his heinous crimes against the woman through which he bore them, including domestic abuse.
The demotion of the County of Aldersberg to a Barony.

ANNO REGIO
1874
-
Frederick I; acting on Our royal judgement We do hereby see fit to elevate Sir Elric Castile and Sir Guillaume Louis de la Croix to honorary positions as Baronets, entitling them to the representation of His Royal Majesty’s crown in all matters diplomatic and domestic, and attendance into the Adriatic Court.
The title of ‘Baronet’ acts according to the Edict of Aster (1864) as a position that merits peerage status for an individual without the privilege of hereditary succession. Accordingly, these titles shall not be tied to land by default. The baronets are recommended to the office of the Lady Viceroy should they desire to purchase property under their name.
Withal, We do summon all titles extant and abeyant in order to grant to these men titular life tenures as the Baronets of, respectively, the Baronetcy of Castile and the Baronetcy of Rochefort. We name them:
ELRIC
Of
House Castile
THE BARONET OF CASTILE
&
GUILLAUME
Of
House DeLaCroix
THE BARONET OF ROCHEFORT
Castile is afforded to Sir Elric Castile by reason of his merit and devoted service to Our King Frederick as a member of the Kingsguard and feal advisor.; Rochefort is afforded to Sir Guillaume Louis Pruvia by reason of his service to the Privy Council as Lord Registrar under the reigns of Emperor Philip III and Our King Frederick.
According to the Edict of Aster, If ever Our Royal Crown sees fit to suspend their positions, their right to contest the suspension or demotion shall not be upheld within the Adriatic Court, as these titles are granted singularly by the Crown and do not require Adriatic concession.
IN NOMINE DEI,
HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, Frederick I, King of Oren, forever August, King of Renatus, Curon, Kaedrin, Salvus, and Seventis, Grand Duke of Ves, Duke of Helena, Novellen, Furnestock, Petra, Oltremont, South Arentania, and Lorraine, Count of Mardon, Baron of Renzfeld, Protector of the Heartlanders and Farfolk, etcetera

In so doing, the House of Alstreim is enrolled with all the privileges and obligations of the highest class, including the representation of His Royal Majesty’s crown in all matters diplomatic and domestic, attendance into the Adriatic Court, annual homage to The Royal Crown and etcetera.

THE FIRST SITTING OF
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Constituents situated in the hall of Temesch, a diverse array of men and women, both old and juvenile, from areas across the Kingdom. Ravens and Savoyards alike joined the hall in congregation, their representation separate, but their ideals as countrymen: one. From a podium central to the hall, the Lord Chancellor de Falstaff stood, opening the first sitting with an address to the burgess and burgesses. @Chennster
Men and women of Oren, I welcome you to our first congregation of His Majesty's Grand Assembly. I beseech ye, today, to ponder on the many developments of recent we have become privy to.” Conrad announced, his voice echoing through the hall. The AsAhford’s eye glistened with redeem, as he faced the constituents that had chosen to serve their country.
In comparison to the wars that preceded our ancestors, we live, now, in simpler times. We are graced with the authority of peace, and is our mantle as the leaders - the stewards of this great Kingdom, to put it to use.
As of recently, we have mandated peace as our authority. Our military grows, our businesses flourish, and our nobles lavish in privilege and sacred duty. Our government has completed itself, and today, this final instrument of government marks our longstanding vows to prosperity and autonomy.
Our predecessors had one item in common: The Nenzing rebels, the Aster visionaries, and our very own King Frederick? It was the mandate of the governed, the reconciliation of the very sacred contract that tethers us, men, together.
Our sole presence here marks this fact. So, let this be a reminder that we are men of free will. I implore this assembly, that we may enact legislation that enacts the will of our governed.
Be it law of order, appropriations for finances, or even the stewardship of the development of our culture - we Orenians will soar to heights never known, as the late Archchancellor described it - let us be the jewel of the civilized world. He paused, concluding.
May God bless us. Let us commence, now, the first sitting of His Majesty's General Assembly, and its ground rules. A hand thudded against the desk, ending his opening remarks.
Election for the Leader of the General Assembly
Lord Dietrich Barclay
8 Ayes
Lord Vincent Keen
12 Ayes
**Bills proposed were tabled for the next sitting, due to the first sitting being responsible for establishment of ground procedure.

ADDENDUM
Excerpt Upon the Rights of Man,
Humanity, created by God in the image of His Prophets, is bestowed upon through His Divine Power the guaranteed, inalienable rights of Man, held above all law and rule. Through the power of the Crown, they are enforced and protected immaculate and indefinite, only transgressed by committing a mortal sin.
The Rights of Man include;
● THE RIGHT TO LIFE, so no man will ever be taken to the Skies so soon.
● THE RIGHT TO LIBERTY, so no man will ever be bonded by the shackles of slavery.
● THE RIGHT TO TRIAL, so no man accused of a crime shall be subject to punishment or penalty without first having been judged so by a jury of his peers; having been allowed fair and proper representation; and to always be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
These rights are the backbone of human liberty and law, preventing the slip of chaos as seen in time immemorial, acting as a shield before the dark arrows of tyranny and selfish ambition. All sons of the First Prophet, no matter of blood, language, or culture, carry upon them these golden laurels of freedom, through right of birth and sapienic kinship.
- Emperor Joseph I, 1718
ADDENDUM
General Principles of Law
The Binding Contract Principle;
“A binding contract exists by an expressed offer that is taken up upon by an expressed acceptance of said offer”.
The Eminent Domain Principle;
“All soil, and the structures and elements upon it, are under Crown ownership, unless specified otherwise by referenceable documents from state government”.
The Rightful Ownership Principle;
“A human with uncontested physical ownership of a good, legal tender or produce, with an absent pretext of criminality, is assumed to be the rightful legal owner.”
The Penalty Principle;
“The gravity of a crime can exceed the amount of justice the conventional punishments could bring, and therefore might require the execution of the criminal”.
The Exclusion (Leumont) Principle;
“Everything established within the physical, administrative and diplomatic dimension that is not in accordance with the rule of law; is considered to have never existed.”

The 1867 Edition
DEATH OF PRINCESS AMELIA MARGARET
The Lost Of A Titaness
In recent events. It is with a heavy heart that the Imperial Crown announces the death of Her Imperial Highness, Princess Amelia Margret. Known by many as a loving sister, aunt, wife, friend, and mother. Leaving behind four children, her daughters, Margaret Ceclie Vasile and Victoria Anastasie Vasile. Then two sons, Joseph Amadeus Vasile and Marcel Amos Vasile. Besides leaving a legacy of young healthy children. She was known for her work as the Minister of Civil Affairs and later being the Lady Privy Seal.
God bless her soul. Us at the New Providence Post. Send our dearest regards. The Deputy Director had expressed when this was being written. “Aunt- well. My former cousin in law. Was an amazing woman. The reason I call her aunt is well. When she had married my cousin, whom I was very dear and close with. I called both of them aunt and uncle. In a sense, I considered her my mentor. Another parent at times. Giving me advice. Truly a woman for all ladies of Oren to be inspired by.”

AN DUCAL HEIR BORN
New Life From Azor
Long last. After years of waiting. The Ducal heir, Edmund Ledicourt d’Azor and his wife, Katherine Helen Marie of Rivia with the Duke and Duchess of Azor announce the birth of the grand heir of the Azor Dukedom. James Henry d’Azor. He was promptly baptized and placed in the care of his mother as well as the Duke and Duchess of Azor while his father serves on the frontlines in Lower Petra. It was recorded that during his birth, a shooting star was spotted careening over the cliffs of Azor, a good omen for the future of Lord James Henry.
Many within the Department of Information hope the young heir shall grow into a strong duke when the time comes. Which is no hard task considering the Lords of Azor have always been strong, wise, or both. God bless the d’Azor Household.

ANNE I
Princess Imperial To First Holy Orenian Empress
The esteemed Anne I, Holy Orenian Empress was the first Empress of our Empire, succeeding as the firstborn child of Emperor Peter III. She took the throne in 1784, the first woman to ever take the Throne. Her achievements were far and wide, and her regal nature never faltered in the eyes of the adoring public.
Amongst her countless achievements was the ending of vassalization for the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska.
After her birth, Anne was betrothed to the Duke of Helena; Jospeph Clememt de Sarkozy son of the Lord Protector, Adrian de Sarkozy. However, when Adrian suddenly died, it was Anne's father who became elevated to Emperor of Oren. She was entitled Princess Imperial; however, her lack of an older brother still made her the heir presumptive.
Under the teaching of Simon Basrid, Anne became a well-educated Princess Imperial, hoping to provide her with the cunning & education needed should she ever assume the throne.
When Peter III succumbed to cancer, Anne was crowned as Holy Orenian Emperor. Her husband, Joseph, served as her co-monarch. It was Joseph's following illness, however, that lead Anne to oversee most of the duties of the Crown. Anne's guiding philosophy was one of service; she believed the Crown should support the public folk of Oren, rather than acting as an autonomous ruler.
Proof of her great bravery & dedication to liberation was the Edict of Separation, which freed the Haeseni people from disliberty & returned their kingdom to independence.
John Of Huntshill (1859)
JOHN AURELIAN
Shield Of Providence
With more tragic news, so recent. Only two months ago. The Lord John Aurelian Novellen-Huntshill is announced as dead. He died with honor. Defending the city bravely. Only to be taken by the Ferrymen and Haense savages to their capital where he was given his final rites then beheaded. The young Count of Mardon alongside Sir Edwin de Sarkozy had been spared. Taking the body back to the Capital where his funeral was attended by her Imperial Majesty, the Count of Mardon, the Count of Huntshill. With Katerina Angelika de Sarkozy, John Aurelian’s wife. Along with many others. After the ceremony, he was promptly buried in the cemetery. His grave being adorned with flowers and rosaries.
Many who personally knew the Shield Of Providence, remember him fondly. The Empress, his own aunt. She expressed how he was an honorable man. Even when the brutes of the north had spread lies about him during his tenure as Ambassador to Haense. He still defended them. He defended their honor and dignity in the eyes of the Empress. His wife, Katerina Angelika, knew her husband since childhood. They were friends, destined for each other. Her only true love whom she only was married to for six months. Being left with the duty of raising his children. Others such as his father, the Count of Huntshill had also expressed how his son was so honorable, with flaws. Like all men. But in the end. A man to honor and faith. The Deputy Director had also spoken of how he was truly a man of kindness. Expressing how he had extended his hand when they were children. When the Deputy had first moved to Almaris from Aeldin at age five. Being a friend, to the end.

The 1866 Edition
Doors Of Law (1863)
The Final Offensive
The Battle To End The War
Year eighteen of the war, Imperial Soldiers are now marching into the lands of the savage Urgunai, after long and exhausting battles in Lower Petra region, which led to a supreme imperial victory, it is time to send the pitchfork to Urgaun and liberate Blackvale from the clutches of the hands of the Urgunai brutes. While it has been proven that the church of canon has taken up arms against the empire and its people, the Imperial Crown issued the statement that no men of the cloth, not aiding the war, shall remain safe. This shall do well for church relations within the empire that we have yet forsaken our faith even if it has forsaken us.
While mixed emotional statements have been cast out by the Kingdom of Haenseti-Ruska. Blaming the empire, instead of working with the empire to solve generational-based issues. The brutes, however, have made the statement they do not wish for peace. As all peace talks have ceased and been ignored by the new underking, it means to undermine the effect of the war and its toll upon the people. The Crown and the Imperial Forces ask all loyal subjects of the empire to take up arms, do donations to the effort so it will end swiftly and with a grand imperial victory.
Emperor Peter III In Mardon (1866)
Empress Anne I
The Journey To The Imperial Throne
Empress Anne Augusta Helane of the Holy Orenian Empire was born at the Palace of Novellen in New Helena on the 12th of Owyn’s Flame, 1735.

After her birth. She was quickly betrothed to the son of the Lord Regent at the time, Joseph Clement de Sarkozy. The Current Duke of Helena. Suddenly. The Lord Regent had died and her father was elevated to the Imperial Throne. Instead of opting the title of Crown Princess. She was titled, Princess Imperial. As her mother was expected to birth sons.
In the auspicious position of being heir-presumptive as her mother and father never truly did have any sons. Her father only had illegitimate sons with his mistress. Was given a good education by many scholars and governess. Being educated by the likes of Simon Basrid and other notable men of Oren. Simon Basrid became a father figure, a guide for the young Princess Imperial.
The time finally came. She was wed to Joseph Clement de Sarkozy. On 15th of Sun's Smile 1753. The wedding was known to be beautiful and a showcase of the crown’s power. After the union, there was jousts, drinks. Celebrations at Selm. Only two years after the union, they introduced their first child. Elizabeth Anne. Then many others. Which included Emperor John VIII of the Holy Orenian Empire.
After many triumphs. Her time for the Imperial Throne came when her father died thirty two years later. Upon the 12th of Godfrey’s Triumph, 1785. Where both Anne and Joseph were crowned as co-monarchs. The era of Anne and Joseph had begun.

ROYAL LETTERS FOR THE
BARONY OF MINITZ
ANNO REGIO
1880
-
Frederick I; acting on Our royal judgement We do hereby see fit to elevate Mr. Dietrich Barclay, Leader of the Assembly, to the ranks of the Orenian hereditary nobility. In so doing, the House of Barclay is once again enrolled with all the privileges and obligations of the highest class, including the representation of His Royal Majesty’s crown in all matters diplomatic and domestic, attendance into the Adriatic Court, annual homage to The Royal Crown and etcetera.
Additionally, We do summon all titles extant and abeyant in order to grant to his successors- provided that their legality is pronounced before the Adriatic Court - Royal Title of the Baron of Minitz, wherein they shall protect the Kingdom from harm. Ergo, We name him:
DIETRICH
The First of His Name
Of
House Barclay
THE 1ST BARON OF MINITZ
Naturally in obeisance to the peerage laws of the Kingdom, the title shall be invested with absolute primogeniture succession.
This title is afforded by reason of the House of Barclay’s long standing service to many sects of the Kingdom from its original conception. Since their emigration from Haeseni tyranny and the remnants of Savoyardic dissolution, the men of Barclay have innovated and rejuvenated the vessels of Oren, be it through the ideals of Banardism, or the bravehearted ambition of Theodoric’s warband.
In return, and as a sign of Our august graciousness, We do privilege his ability to levy law and taxes upon his subjects if any be borne. If ever Our Royal Crown sees fit to suspend or demote his rights or, unitarily, the noble letters of his house, their right to contest the suspension or demotion shall be upheld within the Adriatic Court, where a jury of Noble Peers shall evaluate the act.
IN NOMINE DEI,
HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, Frederick I, King of Oren, forever August, King of Renatus, Curon, Kaedrin, Salvus, and Seventis, Grand Duke of Ves, Duke of Vienne, Duke of Helena, Novellen, Furnestock, Petra, Oltremont, South Arentania, and Lorraine, Count of Mardon, Baron of Renzfeld, Protector of the Heartlanders and Farfolk, etcetera
HER ROYAL MAJESTY, Vivienne of Savoy, Queen consort of Oren, forever August, Queen consort of Renatus, Curon, Kaedrin, Salvus, and Seventis, Grand Duchess consort of Ves, Duchess consort of Vienne, Helena, Novellen, Furnestock, Petra, Oltremont, South Arentania, and Lorraine, Countess consort of Mardon, Baroness consort of Renzfeld, Protector of the Heartlanders and Farfolk, etcetera
