    Hi, pink here, cas just sent me this through dms absolutely screaming about this, therefore, id like to make my own comment about them.

    Cas is my little sister, ive known her for about nearly five years now, playing together on different servers. Let me just say, she is absolutely an amazing person, despite her being so much younger than me (and being a nerd) I respect them SO much and look up to them, it doesnt matter what situation or issue that arises it is amazing how positive and calm headed she can be when dealing with it. Always looking on the bright side and keeping everyone happy and satisfied.

    I dont say it enough but ily girly


    AND IM SO PROUD OF WHAT YOUVE ACOMPLISHED HERE

    All jokes aside, I'm so happy to hear this!! This is so sweet. We love Cas in Haense; thanks for sharing her with us!!

    Hello LOTC! I’m happy to present the two players of the months of August and September. These two ladies are very special in the Haense community and deserve to know just how much they are appreciated. Without further ado, here are our stars of August and September 2023.

    “Cas is really kind and helpful both in and out of character, and one of the first people I met that made me feel welcomed in the community. Plus, she's fantastic as Marian, the lovely custodian of Valdev's castle. I really appreciate and respect her!”

    - @HayCrow

     

    “I love how upbeat about everything they've been. Really provides excellent rp and creates a generally good environment. They're truly the best tavern rper and have created a welcoming experience for not only new players but some of the older ones too. I feel like they are not given enough cred and deserve this little paper plate award!”

    - @Mady07

     

    “Cas has done SO MUCH for the courts as custodian. They're super friendly and always strive to include new players and people who might not have the easiest time fitting in. They run the servantry like a BOSS and I'm always so happy to work alongside them.”

    - @Cheese1sGrater

     


     

    “She's always done a lot, but never seems to get any recognition for it. She worked really hard under Shay and GMRO, and I think she really stepped up during the last lifstala season to organise and put things together. She is a lovely individual!”

    - Anonymous

     

    “Ever since I met Holly years ago online (and far away from LOTC), she's been a very good friend of mine and honestly helped introduce plenty more. It's her doing in a big part that I've ended up in such a great community and on LOTC. She's a great roleplayer who's really willing to take fire and owns what her characters do without worrying about what people might think, a great writer to boot with a penchant for rping drama, with a good sense of humour, and protective of her friends. I know she's got dope plans and cool ideas and I def look forward to seeing my friend do ‘em.”

    - @ContestedSnow

     

    ”Peachy always has compelling stories to tell and is extremely talented when it comes to building a storyline. Her posts are always top tier and I love having game nights with her! She’s done so much for the community in both an OOC and RP capacity and has always offered me a helping hand if I need it. She’s a veteran member of the community and a joy to be around. I love and appreciate Peachy.”

    - @Sarah

     


     

    Thank you for sticking around for this month’s Player Appreciations! It’s always a joy to get to recognize the beloved members of the Haeseni community, so please keep nominating! Much love to all :)

    VA BIRODEO HERZENAV AG EDLERVIK, 

    Much has transpired since my last Curation, and I shall endeavor to relay these happenings with the utmost transparency. It is no secret that many challenges have tested our mettle: the specter of unrest and discord looms in certain quarters, and it is incumbent upon us to address these matters. Even so, the indomitable Haeseni spirit shall always persist, even in tumultuous times such as these; thus, I proceed with this publication.

    ON KINGDOM-WIDE AFFAIRS

    A fierce snowstorm has swept through the land, covering Valdev in a thick blanket of snow. The citizens of Haense have since faced harsh winter conditions, with freezing temperatures and limited visibility due to the heavy snowfall. In response to this crisis, the Queen has implemented Operation Nikirala to address the challenges posed by the snowstorm. Citizens are advised to don multiple layers of fur and seek refuge within the Palace, amongst other measures detailed in the following missive.

     

     

    The Hospital of St. Amyas seeks to bolster its ranks of healers and medics in light of the recent blizzard that has befallen Haense. This recruitment drive seeks to gather individuals who wish to learn the art of healing wounds and varying ailments. Aspiring medics are invited to present themselves at the hospital, where they shall be assessed for their proficiency in the healing arts.

     

     

    The Kingdom recently celebrated its sesquicentennial independence, marking a grand 150 years of independent rule, spanning three whole Saint's years. In honor of this momentous occasion, a grand ball and market festival were held, gracing the capital with splendid merriment and jubilation.

     

     

    ON COURTLY AFFAIRS

    Despite the tumultuous circumstances posed by this harrowing snowstorm, the Esrova Prikaz Court has continued to flourish. The latest appointments within Her Majesty’s Court include the esteemed Firress Laurissa Kort, who has been bestowed with the title of Mistress of the Abstract in Lord Haus Weiss-Vuiler’s stead. The beloved Lord Haus served dutifully under the Queens Sofia and Amaya for many years and has earned his well-deserved retirement. We thank him for his service within the Royal Courts, for he paved a considerable path in his studies of the Abstract.

     

    Joining the ranks of the Esrova Servantry are Firr Iosif and Firress Danika. The Queen and her councilors are certainly delighted to have them and believe the Palace grounds shall flourish under their care!

    CROWN

    On this 10th day of Wzuvar ag Byvca of 496 E.S.

     


     

    VA BIRODEO HERZENAV AG EDLERVIK,

     

    In the face of the fierce blizzard that has swept across our beloved land, I pen this missive with a heavy heart as this winter seems far harsher than any other Hanseti-Ruska has endured on the continent of Aevos. However, we cannot stand idle – we must act quickly to ensure the safety of our fellow Haensemen and the very lands in which we reside. 

     

    I. All citizens of the Dual-Kingdom must be adequately clothed. Dress yourselves in no less than three layers, for the biting cold spares no one. Furthermore, be vigilant of the hours you venture out, for the night and early morn bear the harshest of temperatures. The palace staff, additionally, shall provide fur coats to shield all from the frigid cold of this harsh winter. 

     

    II. To ease the plight of those who hunger, the Crown will also distribute rations to sustain our people should the crops succumb to the frost's grip. For those who have been rendered homeless by this unforgiving blizzard, know that shelter awaits you within the protective walls of our Esrova Palace. In unity, we shall find warmth and the strength to persevere.

     

    III. Most importantly, we shall not forsake our homeland. As all Haeseni do, we shall weather this storm, rebuilding what was lost and enduring as our forebears did in times long past.

    For as we all say, "I would have perished had I not persisted."

    VA BIRODEO I AAUN,

     

    Greetings and warm blessings be upon you all in this hour of dire need. It is with a heavy heart that I pen these words, for I have been informed of a great calamity that has befallen our Canonist brethren in Whitespire: the merciless waves of a tsunami that have brought about an unimaginable suffering to the people of Aaun. 

     

    In this trying time, when the very foundations of Whitespire have been submerged beneath the waves, the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska seeks to extend its fullest support to the Aaunic peoples. Let it be known that all Aaunic refugees who seek respite within our walls are welcome. Shelter within the Esrova Prikaz, alongside freshly cooked meals from its kitchens, shall soothe the weary hearts and nourish the souls of those who have faced the tempest. 

     

    May the blessings of Godani be upon you all, and may His guiding hand lead us to calmer shores.

    THE SESQUICENTENNIAL INDEPENDENCE

    CELEBRATING THREE SAINTS’ YEARS 

    OF HAESENI FREEDOM

    KRUSAE ZWY KONGZEM

     

    Issued by the

    ROYAL COURT

    On this 3rd day of Tov ag Yermey of 495 E.S.

     


     

    VA BIRODEO HERZENAV AG EDLERVIK,

     

    For over one hundred and fifty years, our cherished Kingdom has remained resolute in the face of varying trials and tribulations. Through the passage of time, the Haeseni people have flourished, our traditions have thrived, and our unity has persisted evermore. Our forebears ignited the flame of self-determination that has burned brightly ever since, holding fast to their identity and culture and preserving the very essence of what it means to be Haeseni.

     

    As such, It is with joyous hearts that we, the courtiers of the Esrova Prikaz Court, do proclaim the dual-month celebration of a most momentous occasion; the sesquicentennial anniversary of our independence. 

     


     

    THE HISTORY OF HAESENI INDEPENDENCE

     

    For many years, Hanseti-Ruska stood as a vassal beneath the Holy Orenian Empire. Its status as a Kingdom, granted by the Empire, was first held by King Petyr I, and such vassalage would remain until King Josef I’s reign. While The Edict of Separation1 was officially issued by Holy Orenian Empress Anne I on the 11th of the Amber Cold, 1786, tensions between Haense and the Empire had been high for many years. The Haeseni and Orenian peoples often felt they had grown distant due to vast cultural differences between the two groups.

     

    On the day of the declaration, King Josef I was summoned to meet with Empress Anne I and Emperor John II. Due to the strain between Haense and the Empire, Josef was particularly cautious and had several of his knights and trusted councilors accompany him to the meeting. Among this entourage was Lord Palatine Konstantin Wick, Lord Treasurer Edvard Amador, Queen-Mother Viktoria of Metterden, and Lord Justicar Lauritz Christiansen. There, it was announced by the Empress and Emperor that while they were displeased with Haense’s reluctance to integrate into the Empire, they were willing to relinquish control over the Kingdom and allow it to become its own governing body.

     

    Since then, the Dual Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska has flourished as an independent entity for over one hundred and fifty years, ushering in a golden age of prosperity for the Haeseni peoples. The Kingdom has stood the test of time and, by the grace of Godani, shall continue to thrive forevermore. 

     

    1] The Edict of Separation

    THE REVELRY OF CROWS

    The 11th of Jula ag Piov [September 21st, 6pm EST]

     

    In the heart of the Haeseni capital, the town square shall be transformed into a bastion of knowledge and tradition. All attendees are encouraged to peruse the history booths, where ancient tomes unfold the tales of our realm's history. Thereafter, the wisdom of all shall be put to the test via trivia questions that delve into our rich past, challenging the knowledge and wit of all in attendance. 

     

    Amidst the bustling square, carts and stalls brimming with the flavors and craftsmanship of Haense shall line the streets as far as the eye can see. It is there that a variety of traditional Haeseni dishes and artisan crafts will be offered for sale. 

     

    This grand celebration of our heritage and unity, officially dubbed ‘The Revelry of Crows,’ shall continue with a Carrion Black drinking contest, wherein taverneers will congregate to partake in this Haeseni tradition. As guests relish in drink and song, the Brotherhood of Saint Karl will parade down the streets, presenting the penultimate display of national pride that will conclude this momentous event. 
     

    THE EVE OF MEMORIUM

    The 10th of Vzmey ag Hyff [September 22nd, 5.30pm EST]

     

    During the second month of the festivities, a deeply meaningful tradition will take place at the Haeseni Memorial Ball upon the evening termed ‘The Eve of Memorium.’ This unique event is a time when the people of Hanseti-Ruska come together to pay their respects to those who have passed on. 

     

    The highlight of the evening is the ‘Last Drink of Death.’ As attendees gather in their historical attire, dressed to resemble figures from the kingdom's rich past, a solemn toast offered by the Queen will be given. Each guest pours half the contents of their glass onto the floor, symbolizing their shared remembrance for those who are no longer among them. Following the pouring of libations, a prayer is offered, invoking blessings upon the departed souls.

     

    At the conclusion of this prayer, the attendees shall raise their glasses and partake in the remainder of their drink. Soon thereafter, guests are free to mingle and engage in the traditional Haeseni dances during this evening of merriment and pride.

    THE AUTUMNAL SOLSTICE IS a momentous occasion for the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska as it shepherds the changing of seasons and the upcoming bounty of the fields. Whilst the vibrant green of the summer fades into the warm hues of gold and red indicative of Haeseni autumn, the people shall bear witness to the diligent toil of the Kingdom's farmers and laborers as the harvest reaches its pinnacle. Finally shall the fields yield their precious crops and the orchards bear the fruits of their labor.

     

    The mythological figure Gorm, the mysterious three-eyed crow, is historically intertwined with the symbolism of the autumn harvest. This figure was often invoked by the ancient Haeseni peoples who sought a plentiful growing season. It was once believed that the Karovic, our ancestors, were derived from the very being of Gorm, and thus, his connection to the land and the harvest remains a significant aspect of Haeseni culture. In addition to the legend of Gorm, the Haeseni also look to St. Henrik, a venerable figure who once performed the miracle of making a barren wheatfield flourish. His divine intervention, too, marks the importance of the harvest in Haeseni tradition and is revered during the solstice to remind us of the blessings once bestowed upon the Kingdom.

     

    Bearing in mind such cultural significance, it is with great joy that Her Royal Majesty, Queen Amaya Milena has chosen to officially institute this Haeseni holiday – formally dubbed Khovalafest – to commemorate the autumnal solstice, followed by a celebration of the traditional Barovifest to celebrate the subsequent harvest that shall occur later in the coming Saint’s weeks. The first Khovalafest indeed holds great significance, as it coincides with the 15th anniversary of our King and Queen’s marriage. Such a milestone marks a golden age for the Kingdom as their enduring leadership has ensured a bountiful harvest for all.

    THE ROYAL CAPITAL OF VALDEV shall host the festival, wherein the populace will partake in numerous traditional games and activities proffered by the courtiers of the Esrova Prikaz Court. Bobbing for apples, apple-picking, and corn-doll weaving will take place within the square, followed by the sacred tradition of blessing the obtained harvest.

    WHEN WHEAT IS FIRST harvested from the fields, each attendee shall craft their own wyznik, (Common: harvest wreath) made of the wheat stalks to symbolize the wealth of the harvest. The particular blooms that flourish during autumn (sunflowers, pansies, and daisies) may be woven into each wreath. These wreaths shall be blessed by a Canonist priest, then presented before the Queen. 

     

    Thereafter, a bonfire shall be lit, and a dance around it will ensue to celebrate the good tidings that God’s blessed harvest has since brought. Prayers and bardic songs alike shall resonate throughout the Kingdom, and all shall break holy bread over the very same fire.

  8. Amaya Milena grieved the fallen peer, lighting a candle in her chambers that eve to honour the fallen Baroness.

    "Your spark will always flicker - your fire will never die, Countess. I promise. Your light will continue to shine." Hoarsely did the Queen speak senseless utterances, staring into the flickering hearth that illuminated the darkened room about her. Her heart ached for her distant kin - her paternal house, Kortrevich.

     

    Distantly, a mother weeps, clinging to the spirit of her daughter. She wished to see her again, one last time.

    IT PLEASES ME TO hear of the holistic avenues Amathine has since taken. Medicine is a necessary art that oft requires the most dedicated pairs of hands to practice it, and there is no doubt in my mind that our beloved allies will thrive in this newly founded institution. Should your institute ever require any aid from the clinicians of Hanseti-Ruska, or wish to collaborate thereon, we are only a bird away.

     

    Her Royal Majesty, AMAYA OF VENZIA, Queen-Consort of Hanseti and Ruska.

    Lis is someone I greatly admire, especially when it comes to Haeseni leadership. She has faced every challenge with tenacity and strength and I admire her efforts so much. We love you and appreciate everything you've done Lis - thank you so much for your hard work! Good luck in Paris and take care of yourself; remember to stay girlbossing like you always do xx

    @sarahbarah

     

    Lis is one of the best people on the server, bar none. She's incredibly kind and is always there to offer a helping hand or be someone to talk to when you need it. It is my personal belief that she and people like her are why so many people choose to stick around LOTC. Congratulations, Lis!

    @sethwolf

     

    IBIOU IS THE MOST HARDWORKING INDIVIDUAL IN ALL OF HAENSE AND DESERVES PRAISE FOR THE AMOUNT OF STUF SHE HAS DONE!!!!!! BEST EMISSARY IN THE WORLD!!! BEST BARON, AMAZING ROLEPLAYER!!!! I LOVE MY GIRLFRIEND!!!!!!

    @greehn

     

    Lis has just been a joy to 'work with' (minecraft career) and hang out with the whole time I've known her! Super welcoming and kind, I respect her patience a lot. I hope she has a great time with her plans for the future going on too (:

    @Contestedsnow

     

    Lis is a genuinely funny person, and someone who isn’t afraid to roll with the punches. This is shown by her willingness to become a Horse Girl from one moment of RP had! She’s friendly overall, an amazing RPer and we’re all quite lucky to be her friend and have her about!

    @tadabug2000

     


     

    Please join us and all of the Haense community in thanking Lis for her hard work, and let us remind you to tune in again in a few weeks for next month’s player appreciation!

    AS DUSK DESCENDS UPON the North, all denizens of the realm are hereby invited to partake in a celebration within the Haeseni capital of Valdev to honor the Brotherhood of Saint Karl. In homage to the valorous Brotherhood, there shall be contests of brawn and tests of strength scattered about the square, each designed to test the mettle and prowess of our soldiers - archery, caber toss, sword duels, etcetera. 

     

    Every flagon within the realm shall be raised, and the drinking games shall commence in the Bard n’ Bottle tavern thereafter. On this day, merriment shall flow as freely as the rivers that encircle our beloved capital. 

     

    Let this be a celebration marked by the clang of swords and the triumphant roars of victory, for the valor and dedication of the Brotherhood are the very pillars upon which our beloved Kingdom stands. The Brotherhood Bash shall be a day to honor not only the prowess of our military but also the persistence of our people. May all who gather in the square, from noble lords to humble folk, find themselves swept up in the joyous tide of this celebration.

  12. Queen Amaya of Hanseti-Ruska overhears the tune and takes note of it immediately, finding herself both amused and amazed. She seeks out the scribe in a letter, penning such with haste.

     

    "To the esteemed musician Grisell Balfour,

    I caught wind of the lovely little tune you've written and I am stunned by your talent. Should you ever seek a place within the Royal Courts as a courtier of the arts - a courtly bard, musician, or otherwise, please write back at your earliest convenience."

     

    - Her Royal Majesty, Amaya of Venzia, Queen-consort of Hanseti and Ruska.
