ON MATTERS OF THE WYVERNS A SUMMONS TO ALL WITHIN THE REALM ᚨ ᛊᚢᛗᛗᛟᚾᛊ ᛏᛟ ᚨᛚᛚ ᚹᛁᛏᚺᛁᚾ ᛏᚺᛖ ᚱᛖᚨᛚᛗ Issued by HIGH-KING HARALDR, on this day of 17th of IAÁ ASKR AR 612, AGE OF REKINDLING; HEED MY HEARTH, It is perhaps in times of peace that we find ourselves most vulnerable. Vulnerable to both internal and external threats. Whilst we may celebrate this brief period of respite, it cannot come at the detriment and deterioration of our strength, this has become apparent more so than ever, for as the calling of the cleansing of the black church is imperative, we must not forego matters which harm our borders. We thought it was so, that in this period of nothingness, that our way of life was secured, it was protected beneath the ancient banner of Thoromir and his sons; the Rurikidd. But this is not so, for as we may best enemies on land, there is one now in the air, one kin of the dragons; a wyvern who comes to assail the Hearth with its own kin. Thus far, any and all dealings against this enemy have come in the form of broken responses, ones where preparations on the ground have left those who look to defend at a serious disadvantage. Attentive as they are, this cannot be the way forwards and now; perhaps at a time later then what was necessary, all those of the Hearth and her Allies are called and summoned to deliberate, to share, to learn and to put forth a plan for not mere individuals, but for the realm at large. All members of the Red Council, those of the High-Hearth and the Eldrhird are required to be present. So shall Magnus and his sons be requested, Torfinn and his sons alongside all those who have previously fought this blooded Wyvern. SUNDAY 31ST OF MAY 4PM EST @ NORLAND HEARTH TEMPLE AND SO IT SHALL BE, BY THE WILL OF OUR ALLFATHER, HIS MAJESTY, Haraldr av Edvardsson Ruric as High-King of Norland, High Chieftain of the House of Ruric, Chieftain of the Clan Edvardsson, Jarl of Verdegrad, Blood of the Herald & Lord of the Ashwood Throne, Protector of the Highlanders HER MAJESTY, Anastazie Brzezinski, as Queen of Norland, Lady of the Ashwood Throne, Protector of the Highlanders, Lady Protector of the Korvians

A NOTICE FROM THE HIGH-HEARTH A NOTICE OF DEPARTURE ᚨ ᚾᛟᛏᛁᚲᛖ ᛟᚠ ᛞᛖᛈᚨᚱᛏᚢᚱᛖ Issued by HIGH-KING HARALDR, on the 30th of Thoromirsangr, IAÁ ASKR AR 609, AGE OF REKINDLING; HEED ELDRHIRD, The reign of this throne has been one which has spanned multiple decades, and during this time, little time has been spent devoted to stern dedication and devotion towards the AllFather and his infinite wisdom. Thus, in this period of calm, it is the will of Haraldr-King to embark upon a timely and lengthy pilgrimage to a land of the past, one upon which a great Hearth has been constructed in honour of the AllFather. With this in mind, does the High-Hearth establish the following provisions in anticipation of his imminent departures. As determined by the examples set within the past and his already profound experience, it shall be Iulius-Thegn & the Queen, Anastazie, who shall reside in command and regency over the High-Kingdom, all matters of deliberation shall be given to him and those of the Red Council. It has been found that the firstborn son of the High-King and Queen, Hárek, shall make his appearance, and at this time of departure for the High-King, it shall be tasked to him to learn from those around him and similarly, be tasked for those around to educate the boy in various matters. AND SO IT SHALL BE, BY THE WILL OF OUR ALLFATHER, HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, Haraldr av Edvardsson Ruric as High-King of Norland, High Chieftain of the House of Ruric, Chieftain of the Clan Edvardsson, Jarl of Verdegrad, Blood of the Herald & Lord of the Ashwood Throne, Protector of the Highlanders

Omg I’m your biggest fan pollo!!!!

ON THE MATTERS OF REVELRY ON THE MATTERS OF THE INN ELDRHIRD ᛟᚾ ᛏᚺᛖ ᛗᚨᛏᛏᛖᚱᛊ ᛟᚠ ᛏᚺᛖ ᛁᚾᚾ ᛖᛚᛞᚱᚺᛁᚱᛞ Issued by HIGH-KING HARALDR, on this day upon IAÁ ASKR AR 608, AGE OF KINDLING; HEED ELDRHIRD, For as the Hearth warms and the seasons change, there has likewise been change in the Northern realm, indeed much transpires and akin to the blooming of the summer flowers, so too does the realm expand. Yet, much focus has already been placed upon that of the external matters, it is time that we instead focus inwards, into the governance of the realm and into the matters of the realms’ courts, something that has been neglected in-favour of other matters. Yet, this is no longer, for whilst my Red Council sits large and sits fairly, occupied by much of the realm, there is one position that is not occupied and that is the seat of perhaps the most important role in this century which we have entered. This is, that of the; Master of Revelry. Long and arduous shall be your duty, but with it shall come the benefits of holding such a position, namely respect and recognition and a personal seat into matters of the realm. Should this be of interest to you, I would advise those to send forth a bird to myself, the High-King, in order to be deemed worthy or not for this position. Likewise, this position shall come with the task of working alongside the red council and inn eldrhird, to create a functional court and positions which are to be filled within it. AND SO IT SHALL BE, BY THE WILL OF OUR ALLFATHER, HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, Haraldr av Edvardsson Ruric as High-King of Norland, High Chieftain of the House of Ruric, Chieftain of the Clan Edvardsson, Jarl of Verdegrad, Blood of the Herald & Lord of the Ashwood Throne, Protector of the Highlanders

Within the confines of the High-Hearth, there sat a King and his Vassal, his Elder, his Mentor who recanted their most recent encounters. “Not many can say that they have spoken with him and lived to recall it.” “No, I suppose not.” “His words make you think.” “His vision is fair.” “He is a demon.” “Yet, of all, only he speaks the most sense.” “Do not be so foolish as to heed his words.” “I do not, but he makes me question, as to the world I seek.” “Does he?” “He does.” “And what, pray-tell do you seek?” “A world perhaps, where the likes of him, cannot be twisted to reach the vision that the living seek.” “. . .” @Terry

"A new age, a fair age."

"Total Elrith Victory." Declared, that High-King

"Hrm." Uttered, the Norn-King who remained retreated within the northern territories for sometime, news from the Imperial Capital beckoned his appearance within Rittersburg, but this one he thought, this one he would not present himself. Ironic, that time was, the death of an Emperor and yet the north celebrated the Union of a Thegn's daughter. He would travel south perhaps, though as he remained within the trees of read, overlooking the chants of the Luminary, he shuffled the letter between his gloved digits, listening to the feint whispers of all requests as they fell upon deaf ears and he stood around the ongoing celebrations.

A young Son of Trost sat atop the battlements of the aging keep, his face pointed to the skies as he basked in the light of the smiling sun.

The King in the North would finally rest.

Upon a high bank stood a Norn, the sea stretched far beyond his sight. At his side lingered a boy, quiet beneath the hounds of that same wind. Behind them laid the siege works of Urguan and the work of men. Before them laid only the peace of wind and water. From the times of Conan to Haakon, such had always been the way of their kin. War would remain behind, the horizon casted ahead. And so they stood, a moment longer, beside one another, watching as that tide would roll in. @Barbarus

THE HEARTH FULFILLS BIRTH OF TWINS ᛒᛁᚱᚦ ᛟᚠ ᛏᚹᛁᚾᛊ Issued by HIGH-KING HARALDR and QUEEN ANASTAZIE, IAÁ ASKR AR 599, AGE OF DRAGONFYRE; HEED ELDRHIRD, It was upon a brisk midsummer's day that the Kingswood was made privy to the presence of not one, but two more children to the personal hearth of the King. They were heralded by the coming of spring and thus the blooming of various verdure and greenery, signaling prosperity and the coming blessings. In recognition of this auspice, various more saplings were planted upon the rolling hills of Norland in affirmation of the blessings of the AllFather. And thus, In recognizing their heralding, we so dub these twins: ISBJÖRN KONAN HARALDRSSON @xDisarray DIMA SIGRÚN HARALDRSDOTTIR @harvestskies The Queen rests in her chambers, the High King attending her as she recuperates. With strokes of a quill, he makes his will known to his subordinates, to carry out duties whilst he sees to the Queen’s recovery. May they be guided, and their path be steady. AND SO IT SHALL BE, BY THE WILL OF OUR ALLFATHER, HIS MAJESTY, Haraldr av Edvardsson Ruric as High-King of Norland, High Chieftain of the House of Ruric, Chieftain of the Clan Edvardsson, Jarl of Verdegrad, Blood of the Herald & Lord of the Ashwood Throne, Protector of the Highlanders HER MAJESTY, Anastazie Brzezinski, as Queen of Norland, Lady of the Ashwood Throne, Protector of the Highlanders, Lady Protector of the Korvians
