ALFRED DONS HIS BLUE WARPAINT AND PREPARES TO SMASH LEON THE EVIL GELIMARSSON

Alfred, a Reinmaren Chieftain stood out atop a hill, which split the Ferdenwald from Haense's western border.. His cloak, looped tightly around his shoulders was battered by the wind. "I will not forget your words to me - Viktor."

"i will now eat a crossbow bolt." alfred of sutica (real) said.

Alfred, Prince in Reinmar files away his copy of the missive.. His gaze turns to his daughter. "Tell me, Juliya - what say you, about the Covenant?" He asked. "I think it carries with itself immense possibility - but ideally, will remain without our direct participation." @annabanana1014

A RETURN TO TRADITION EINE RÜCKKEHR ZUR TRADITION | A RETURN TO TRADITION WARRIORS ASSEMBLY OF 1971 Issued by Alfred I, Prince in Reinmar In the year of our Lord 1971 ÖHNE UND TÖCHTER VON REINMAR, FROM THIS DAY ONWARDS WE EMULATE OUR ANCESTORS, as in the times of antiquity did Reinmaren Chieftains gather their loyal Hird and Warriors alike to debate tactics, strategy, and future endeavors amid war. They stood under the same banner, as will we in our war against Ravenswood. As our ancestors did - we will lift the same spears, shed the same blood - and take the same rewards. It is with this - that the Reinmaren Chieftains, to further cooperation among the Host of St. Johann and the Order of St. Tylos - call both organizations to a unified Warriors Assembly. With this meeting, let there be no confusion among the ranks of Reinmaren as to the goals we seek to accomplish in this conflict. Tasks will be passed out - and duties will be delegated to those dutiful Reinmaren willing to take the mantle. It is paramount that not only the Host of St. Johann, and Order of St. Tylos show - but all those blooded tribesmen mandated for mobilization, to serve the Principality. A Reinmaren tribesman thereafter found to be in breach of the [1969 SUMMONING OF SPEARS] will be put to trial beneath the Grand Kanun at the hands of the Lawspeaker. If you are a Tribesman - or a burgher who has taken arms under our Royal Banner directly in this conflict; then you are invited to partake and voice your spirit. Though for burghers - it is asked that they speak secondarily to Theoderic’s blooded kin, the Reinmaren. Alongside this - the Princes of our fellow participants, Celia'nor and Koyo-Kuni are invited to bring their own parties to view our convention. We hope that this gathering will set the forefront for a further Warriors Assembly - only then amongst the entirety of our alliance. THE REINMAREN CONVENE. For a Warriors Assembly has been called - to be held in the year 1971. WER RASTET, DER ROSTET HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS, ALFRED, Prince in Reinmar and of Sutica, Duke of Reinmar, Count of Kretzen and Freimark, Baron of Madvon and Freising, Lord of Sankt Johannsburg, Neuburg, Wilheburg, Erwinsburg, Freiburg, and Rozenfeld, High Chieftain of the Reinmaren

Alfred wandered the woods of the Ferdenwald - arriving ultimately at a hilltop.. He drew an old sword and dug the tip into the grass - turning and departing with a few whispered words in his grandmother's honor.

A FINAL JUDGEMENT EIN ENDGÜLTIGES URTEIL | A FINAL JUDGEMENT Issued by Reinmar, Celia’nor and Koyo-Kuni In the year of our Lord 1971 O THE PEOPLE OF RAVENSWOOD, WE THIS DAY RENDER JUDGEMENT UNTO YOU, facetious folk of Ravenswood - for as the time-limit we, the Sovereigns of Reinmar, Celia’nor and Koyo-Kuni have bestowed upon you has since gone unanswered. It has been nigh on a year since the Reinmaren moot voted unanimously in support of Prince Alfred & Leon’s Ravenswood excursion. And yet - despite the better judgement of all sovereigns involved, we still offered unto you a period to keep home, hearth, and kin, only then as a vassal of Prince Illthrak. You have yet chosen not to heed our words - and therefore we are left with little other choice. Once before - when we visited, we upheld our word to stay our swords whilst within your walls. Next time, we will not be so lenient. AN EXCERPT FROM A REINMAREN TALE OF YORE, Chieftain Witteric looked out amongst his people - for the moot had only now convened.. Bloodings came foremost - when men were sworn as tribesmen before the Chieftain. Next - were the topics of hot debate, for there came a challenge to the Chieftain’s power. A tribesman, blooded and sworn to his liege - stood before Witteric and accused him of a hefty crime.. It inevitably fell to the vote of the moot - of the unified Reinmaren that belonged to Witteric’s tribe. The vote was nearly unanimous against him. Those who rebuked such an answer and supported their Chieftain - were primarily the sworn warriors of Witteric. For his power had fallen with one simple vote - and the tool to reclaim it was laid out before him, hung by the belts of his warriors. But though he may have failed in his duties - a Reinmaren Chieftain does not simply deny the moot, for a denial of the moot - thereby rebukes your own people and falsifies the sanctity of the Landtag. Witteric unsheathed his blade - and the field, populated heavily with those kin of his, fell silent for a few moments. Then - the Chieftain hurled his blade to the grass, answering the words of his people. For the moot always remains sacred - and the Reinmaren abide by it. THE CONTEMPLATION OF PRINCE ILLTHRAK Prior to his decisions and contact with Reinmar, his mind was filled with all the problems and weight of the realm; he knew in his heart something had to be relieved: The Northern Raiders of Alimere, The host of Harrowers, had to be combated and the abundance of Darkspawn within their walls. His mind became clear, and his thoughts became true; he knew that such could not continue uncontested and unhindered, So he wrote his letters and began his preparations to combat the servants of the Harrower and the Harrower himself; he started his plans to redeem Ravenswood for their sake. With the men of Reinmar and Mali of Celia’nor, Illthrak marched upon Ravenswood; after some time, he eventually was able to meet with the Mali, who led those of Ravenswood; he expressed the needs of Celia’nor and Reinmar to secure the north against the Alimere in the form of ensuring the wood was no longer a fortification for their sworn enemy the Harrower. Instead, he was met with resistance and darkspawn dwelling in this meeting on the side of Ravenswood as well as their clear ties with darkspawn becoming apparent from recent attacks upon denizens of Celia’nor; at this point, he knew his negotiation and desire for peace would be rejected, for he had to make a choice; he had to act for his people. Thus it was decided by The Royarch, the Laurir and citizenry of Celia'nor has sworn an oath to bring safety to the rough and lawlessness of the North enabled by those within the land of Ravenswood. The Celia'diraar and her allies shall cleanse the north from their sins, and the people from both realms of Stars and Reinmaren blood will start the war against all our enemies, The Raiders of Alimere. The war was imminent, and the Celia’diraar were ready. Illthrak spoke one phrase to them. Do not Falter. For we - the realms of Celia’nor, Reinmar, and Koyo-Kuni stand shoulder-to-shoulder with one another. And thereby we declare war unto you, the realm of Ravenswood. Let the Host of St. Johann, the Celiadiraar and Ashigaru of Koyo-Kuni stand as one, as we march upon your lands to purge it of overwhelming filth. For your Ibleesian-kin will be unable to defend you when your walls crumble before us.

Alfred's dreams left before him a message - or what he believed to be one.. Theoderic's voice rang deep in the Prince's mind..

Alfred flipped through old Reinmaren documents detailing the first Kretzenfest, held by (then) Count Johann of Reinmar-Kretzen.. He turned the pages shut and thanked GOD for his dutiful daughter, the Baroness of Sigradz.

Christ is King - he is risen.

Alfred, Prince in Reinmar - finds an old set of armor, passed down from his forefathers..

Alfred nods with approval as the news reaches Kretzen's Palace. "Sir Stanton fixes the stain upon his House - I commend him."

Alfred stood atop the walls of Kretzen - the Capital of Reinmar.. His capital, Leon's capital - the city of his people. At his side - was an elderly retainer, Jakob. The guardsman passed Alfred a small page, an illustration of Celia'norian and Reinmaren alike, atop a background depicting the same city they stood in. He smiled.

Alfred's eyes fell to the paper - as a notice of Amaya's death flooded in. The man wandered to the hearth in his chambers - tucked deep in the upper-city of Kretzen, within the Sutican branch.. He sighed, eyes flickering between the crackling fire and the page - and a single tear fell to his cheek. It inevitably fell simply upon the missive, and Alfred's gaze turned upwards, and the man hurled the missive into the fire. ".. Queen of the People." He muttered - as he slid on a ring..

LETTERS FOR THE BARONY OF FERNWEH BARONIE VON FERNWEH | BARONY OF FERNWEH Issued by the PRINCES IN REINMAR In the year of our Lord 1968 SÖHNE UND TÖCHTER VON REINMAR, THE HOUSE VON KANUNSBURG ARE OUR MOST DUTIFUL COUSINS, serving alongside the lines of Minitz and Sutica in the defense and safeguarding of the Reinmaren culture and people. It is our wish now to give the line of von Kanunsberg vassalage and land of their own to call home. And so, we bestow unto them the Barony of Fernweh, and onto Duke Gottfried Barclay von Kanunsberg the title of Baron of Fernweh to pass down to his successors and their successors after them. Once the Barony of Fernweh was a simple hamlet, bestowed upon the late Eloisee Veiel, as a reward for dutiful service many decades ago, fallen into abeyance ever since her death and has since never seen day. Now, Fernweh may stand as one of three vassals, shoulder-to-shoulder with the likes of Langenkirch and Wesenburg.

With this elevation comes the changing of an ancestral name. The House von Sturmweber will hereon be known only as House von Wesenburg, with their same blue-bannered tower remaining as their coat of arms, only furthering to exemplify their seasoned history as servants of Reinmar. Let the future - and this new name serve to maintain and promote dutiful service amongst the people.

So in-turn there may be no question in who rules our fair peoples. From the ancestry of St. Johann and Ven. Leon, which stretches thereafter as far back to Theoderic and Gelimar both, Leon and I seek to bring unity, prosperity, and glory to the Reinmaren. THE FIRST DAY, Coronation No longer will the Aaunic and Haeseni Reinmaren be split, for the legacy of the Reinmaren is finally solved, and is left, to unadulterated prosperity in an independent realm. The Coronation will be undergone in the Temple of Waldenic Martyrs, by His Holiness, Caius I. Following Reinmaren tradition, I, Alfred, shall be coronated as a Prince in Reinmar - and Leon, as my counterpart, the other Prince in Reinmar. Leon's wife, Adalfriede of Hexenwald, will be crowned alongside her husband as the Princess of Minitz singularly. Us Princes, and the Princess alike, will enter the Temple - dressed lightly and humbly in only our linens, and will slowly, but surely swear our oaths before the Pontiff, and be dressed in our regal garbs, and cloaks, befitting their stature as rulers. Thereafter, the gathering may be adjourned - from such a day onwards, let there be no contest, as to who rules our righteous peoples, and from what domain. For as Leon and I are one in rulership - all Reinmaren are one by blood. THE SECOND DAY, Enthronement & Royal Court As the sun rises on the following day, servants and soldiers alike will assume their duties, in finishing preparations for the Royal Court, and also the enthronement, later that day. As the hours pass, both Leon and I will adorn our garbs, crowns, and regalia alike - for come the mid-day, all will gather before the dual thrones in the Palace, for first shall come the enthronement - where we Chieftains will swear a schwur upon our united blood, before the Pontiff himself to bear witness - after further oaths are exchanged. Finally, Royal Court may begin. Speaking on our behalf - is the Erstkanzler, Roland von Sturmweber. He shall begin in earnest, detailing the full intended itinerary of the day, before being left to undergo the proceedings, under the direct watch of us Dual-Sovereigns.

Alfred grinned as the invitation arrived within the City of Kretzen - swearing to himself, that he MUST attend his dear cousin's wedding.

pls +1

"My sister - finally to be wed! I must celebrate." Rarely, did Alfred find enjoyment through the doings of his own family - but finally rejoiced at the missive, detailing his sister's upcoming nuptials.

u inspire me everyday erictafoya 😍

Alfred read over the impressive works & gatherings of Leopold. He bowed his head - once so, a smile falling quietly upon his lips. "I would be lying to call this less than a masterpiece - I believe the good Leopold possesses a mastery of Reinmaren heraldry.. " He mused to a courtier..

Ivan is incapable of reaching his fellow Prince - as across the table, Alfred is sobbing uncontrollably. ”WHY! WHY GOD!” He acclaimed, seeking answers for the lack of Tylos IV.. .

"Such a sad relationship - the woman must have with her father, in order to accuse him of rebuking his own people." Alfred told his kinsman, Anselm - as he read aloud the missive. "You must be valorous like the slain guardsman, cousin." He advised.. @dmitris
