KRUSAE ZWY KONGZEM
VA BIRODEO E HERZENAV,
The world is on fire in the East and the West. Yet the North stands stagnant.
In the East, chaos reigns by hand of the anathema Duke of Adria whilst the West is assaulted by draconic and arthropodic forces. The Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska has found itself overly preoccupied in these matters of human politics and the heartlands as a whole, albeit a righteous cause, worries still span elsewhere.
As a Prince; now nearly a man, I am still yet to receive my investiture as Grand Prince like my father when he was sixteen. I do recognise the need however to prove myself as worthy to my brothers in arms of Haense. There is much difference between he who commands, and he who leads. It is therefore by this matter that I set out on a quest to do so. I shall not falter in recognising the threats of the world, or turn a blind eye to the threats of the world over humanity’s squabbles.
It is all our world that is at threat, for even a moment we must work as one to combat it - lest we be all overran. Therefore, I call upon the banners of the Brotherhood of Saint Karl, those loyal knights of the Crow Order and my friends to join me in assisting those of the West.
May our banners wrought of Black and Gold persevere, and the North stand stagnant on this threat no longer.
IV JOVEO MAN,
His Serene Highness, Aleksandr Otto Barbanov, Grand Prince of Kusoraev, Duke of Alban
