At the steps to the Ruthern Manor, the goddaughter to Analiesa approached with a weak smile. It had been a tiresome month, but she came to accept the death of her King; her fatherly figure who she held dear. With it, she wished to speak to the Princess Royal and offer her condolences. Family must comfort each other, after all. The solace that the Duchess felt left as quickly as it came, for when she arrived, Ser Vladimir carried Analiesa. She was lifeless in his arms, and her neck was bruised. At his side was their Queen, Amaya of Venzia, who quivered from the sight that Roslin now too witnessed. "Is this a nightmare?" Her face paled, but she dared not speak her thoughts. Instead, she walked alongside them to the Everardian Basilica to mourn her alone, filled with regret. If only she could have spoken to the Princess more, perhaps she might have lived for at least another day. "Her poor children..."

The Duchess of Valwyck, eldest daughter of Valdemar Baruch, gazed out of her lodging's window. The morning sun had finally peeked through the curtains, and the tavern on the floor below slowly filled. With it, the conversation she vaguely overheard grew; though one stood out to her in particular. "Have you heard?" A muffled voice exclaimed. "The capital has been named, Valdev!" She grimaced, her face twisted in anger. "Valde... Valdev?" The thud of her footsteps echoed against the wooden floor as she began to pace. Her mind was in turmoil. How could her King be so brazen with his affections? How had she been so blind in youth? The room was suffocating, thick with the unspoken truths and deliberate misstatements she was raised with. Through her window, Roslin overlooked the castle. Her knuckles faded to a shade of white as they grasped tightly onto the sill. "I cannot avoid this conversation any longer."

HOUSE BARUCH ANSWERS THE CALL TO THE PEOPLE OF THE MOUNTAINS AND THE LAKES, It is most inspiring to see a young figure of Haense, let alone the Grand Prince, willing to take action against a threat which plagues Alamaris as a whole; the Mori’quessir. Lake Voron has been surrounded by their forces as they claim the abandoned Mondstadt Keep as their own. While I am not of knightly status, nor hold a position in the Brotherhood, we must protect our homeland. I shall see to it that my kin will aid in any efforts that you propose, and so too will the men of my Greyguard. May God guide us in battle to victory. BY MOUNTAIN, RIVER, AND COAL, Her Grace, Roslin Annastas Baruch, Duchess of Valwyck, Countess of Ayr, Viscountess of Voron, Baroness of Laval and Riveryn, Lady of Jorenstadt, Guardian of the Hanseti Coast

It is our intent that this event serves as an opportunity to enjoy the natural splendor of the lake, among friends, in a true Ayrikiv fashion. II.

Among these are the Scyflings of House Colborn, and the noble House of Amador, each of which shall man a stall in the aforementioned market. I. THE FOOL OF AYR As is tradition, started by the most noble Ser Viktor ‘the Beast’ of House Baruch, a colorful fool shall be on hand to joyous merriment throughout the day.

THE INVESTITURE OF VALWYCK Issued by the DUCHY OF VALWYCK On the 9th day of Jula ag Piov of 468 E.S. TO THE PEOPLE OF THE MOUNTAINS AND THE LAKES, Let it be known throughout the Kingdom of Haense that the Duchess of Valwyck, Roslin of House Baruch, has reached the age of majority and shall claim her birthright as such. This shall mark the 9th Ducal Ascension of House Baruch, and with the trust and faith of her subjects, it is our hope that it shall not be the last as she guides the Duchy of Valwyck and the people of Ayr to newfound heights of prosperity and excellence. I. CEREMONY OF ASCENSION The public ascension of Roslin shall be hosted within Saint Otto’s Cathedral in the Duchy of Valwyck. Relatives of the Duchess will be invited to attend a private baptism at the docks of Loch Voron beforehand. II. DUCAL JOUST To commemorate this joyous occasion, a grand joust shall take place, where the most resolute and gifted Haeseni may test their mettle and compete for a reward of four-hundred minae in the name of the new Duchess and the Crown of Haense. Horses shall be provided, as will a lance, and those wishing to partake are encouraged to present themselves in the Valwyck tourney grounds. God keep Duchess Roslin I of House Baruch, may her reign be long and prosperous. Formal invitations are sent to the following; His Royal Majesty, Georg I Barbanov, King of Hanseti-Ruska and his noble pedigree His Grace, Wilheim Barclay, Duke of Reinmar and his noble pedigree His Grace, Aleksandr var Ruthern, Duke of Vidaus and his noble pedigree His Highness, Loran von Draco, Margrave of Eichenwalde and his noble pedigree The Right Honourable, Emma Ludovar, Countess of Otistadt and her noble pedigree The Right Honourable, Ileana Kortrevich, Countess of Jerovitz and her noble pedigree The Honourable, Carolus Colborn, Viscount of Venzia and his noble pedigree The Honourable, Audo Weiss, Viscount of Novkursain and his noble pedigree His Highness, Francisco de Pelear, Viceroy of Hyspia and his noble pedigree Her Ladyship, Alyona Godunov, Baroness of Verskaya and her noble pedigree Firress, Olessya Amador, Matriarch of House Amador and her pedigree The Right Honourable, Sigismond Varoche, Count of Varoche and his noble pedigree BY MOUNTAIN, RIVER, AND COAL, His Excellency, Otto Malcolm Gant, Deputy Palatine of Hanseti-Ruska, Lord Regent of Valwyck, Baron of Gant Her Grace, Roslin Annastas Baruch, Duchess of Valwyck, Countess of Ayr, Viscountess of Voron, Baroness of Laval and Riveryn, Lady of Jorenstadt, Guardian of the Hanseti Coast Her Ladyship, Franziska Ivanna Baruch, Duchess-Mother of Valwyck

Within the confines of her chambers, the child Duchess of Valwyck lay in bed with a dampened cloth on her head. An unfortunate fever had taken any energy she had left for correspondence, blood splattering from the forcefulness of her coughs. She tossed and rolled beneath her sheets, deciding it best to shove them off all together with a groan. A maid scampered in to the noise ringing the otherwise quiet halls to situate Roslin, and at the girl's request, she read out the latest documents of Haense’s affairs. "Did we send Raudraik the unrevised pamphlets?" Was all she grumbled out before finally dozing back into her slumber. All of her duties at this time were delegated to the Amadors and her Lord Regent in hopes that she would recover swiftly enough to attend her Uncle's wedding.

From lands afar, a pamphlet found its way into the hands of the Viscountess of Greyspine, a dear friend of Amadea of Susa. Weary eyes read over the text, and her hands clenched tightly onto the paper. As Margrait loomed over the balcony of her room, she told her husband, "We missed it. She was meant to outlive me, she told me as much." And the Viscountess believed it true, the conversations she had with Amadea of her impending death lingering in her memories. A solemn time, but more comforting to her than recent years. "Did she read my letter? She could not have left us, wondering, could she?" "Mikhail, we should return to Vidaus," Margrait said, clutching her chest as she eased away from the railings. @indiana105

1888 A.H. “PIECES OF PROVIDENCE” AD SANGUINEM ORENIUS IN OMNI MUNDO, Under the watchful eye of Her Majesty Amadea of Susa, I, Octavia Helen, youngest daughter to Philip III and Anastasia I, have long practiced the fine arts from the comforts of Karosgrad. I am most pleased to announce that my studies have borne fruit. I do believe myself proficient enough to offer my services to the public, as my eldest sister, HIH Catherine once did when Providence still stood. I pray that I might do her proud. Be you Haeseni, Acrean, Balianite, or what have you, I shall henceforth entertain requests to put paint to canvas and chisel to stone on your behalf. One may find me wandering the halls of the Morrivi in Karosgrad, or of course, through way of bird. OCTAVIA’S PORTFOLIO Pricing shall be dependent on the scale and intricacy of the piece one wishes to purchase. Portraits painted from reference shall cost a fee of twenty-five minas. Those painted without shall cost a basic fee of one-hundred minas, with the price increasing in the same manner as mentioned above. Busts cut from marble shall cost one-hundred minas in most cases. Should the piece prove particularly strenuous, or be in need of further detail, the price may be increased to a limit of one-hundred-fifty minas. Below, I have seen fit to attach both a collection of paintings commissioned by His Grace, the Duke of Vidaus, as well as a series of busts depicting a few recent names in history. In addition to previous works, I have included two of the portraits commissioned by Her Majesty Amadea of Susa before her death. “MARIUS AUDEMAR” “AMADEA OF SUSA” “THE QUEEN’S HAND” “DRUZSTRA CASTLE” “JURE UXORIS” “THE BARONIAL RETINUE” “SIGISMUND III” “PHILIP III” “HANNES OF ACRE” TAPETIA NOSTRA HOMINUM TEXAMUS, Her Imperial Highness, Octavia Helen Ruthern née Novellen, Princess of the Holy Orenian Empire

"GOD bless the Queen, she understands the importance of setting aside what is her personal life from her duties," said the Duchess of Vidaus.

As the publication made its way to the halls of Drusztra, the wife of the Grand Lord announced, "Ye and Amadea, companions? Ah had thought she made her distaste of ye quite public, considering she's hated ye after the bastards. She had insisted ye had a hand in killing their mother yerself, since she died birthing them!" The woman folded up the parchment, setting it upon the table beside her. "Ah had thought our Grand Maer would at least look into the matter properly before he made wild accusations. Ye were clearly appointed for yer experience."

Margrait Ruthern read the document with glee to her nation's position, where she then glanced toward the halls where her many children and bastards slept. "It is near time the children all became cadets, the Orenians would wet themselves at the sight of our child soldiers," she remarked to the Duke of Vidaus. @indiana105

The mother of the lost Baron hovered over a mound of work, the size of which never seemed to shrink. It took little time for the news to reach her, as well as for the woman to begin weeping for her son, her sobs interspersed with hacking, bloody coughs. In these moments, she considered her ailment a blessing; one which would soon reunite them.

Within the depths of her husband's keep, the Duchess of Reinmar puffed on her cigar, which she would smoke until flakes of tobacco and ash fell onto her lap and desk that was filled with paperwork. As she caught wind of one of her councilwomen's death, she thought aloud to her husband, "And there Ah thought, Ah would bae th' first of us dead. God is good." A grin graced her features, unusually so, until a harrowing cough that would soon plague their halls escaped her. @Frymark

A JUBILEE OF RUBY AND SILVER Issued by the DUCHY OF REINMAR On this 15th day of Wzuvar ag Byvca of 423 ES AN ALLE REICHE UND VÖLKER DIESER WELT, Forty years have passed since the death of Duke Erich Ewin Barclay, and thus so too has his son, Duke Johann, ruled over Reinmar. The reign of the Duke and Duchess has been naught but prosperous, despite the former inheriting his titles at the meagre age of five. The Ducal couple do see fit to host a Jubilee of both Ruby and Silver in the Duchy of Reinmar, in celebration of the coming of Johann Erich Barclay’s 40th year of rule, as well as the 25th year of Georgina Sofiya’s reign as his consort. The festivities shall include the following; I. HAESENI WIPEOUT Above the waters of Lake Victoria, a wooden platform has been built, identical on either side. Two contestants will compete to reach the side of the other, either by the swiftness of their feet or by their own brute strength, for they shall be permitted to knock one another from said platform. For he who emerges victorious, a purse of 150 minae awaits. II. HALFLING SHOGGING A game of traditional halfling shogging shall be held. Two participants will attempt to knock one another into the water, as is standard, though to accommodate the size of descendants the playing field shall be slightly larger than that of the Halflings. Once again, the victor of the shogging shall walk away with a purse of 150 minae. III. FREE-FOR-ALL JOUSTING As is traditional to Reinmaren festivities, a joust is to be held. Though, with a twist. Rather than compete against one another in a tournament, all participants shall take to the field at once, confined to a certain area. The last man on his saddle shall walk away with 150 minae. IV. GRAND FEAST As the games come to an end, all attendees are invited to feast with the Ducal couple in their keep of Wilheburg. There, they will enjoy the finest of Reinmaren beverages, whilst being entertained by a number of shows and games of chance, such as Savoyard Pigdice and poker. FORMAL INVITATIONS ARE SENT TO THE FOLLOWING: His Royal Majesty, Sigismund III, King of Hanseti-Ruska and his noble pedigree Their Graces, Eirik Baruch and Anastasya Isabel, Duke and Duchess of Valwyck and their noble pedigree His Grace, Rhys var Ruthern, Duke of Vidaus and his noble pedigree The Right Honourable, Johann Ludovar, Count of Otistadt and his noble pedigree The Honourable, Nikolai Kortrevich, Viscount of Krusev and his noble pedigree Her Ladyship, Sorina Luceafâru, Baroness of Richtenburg and her noble pedigree His Lordship, Aleksandr Amador, Baron of Mondstadt and his noble pedigree His Royal Highness, Otto Morovar, Baron of Ghaestenwald and his noble pedigree Her Serene Highness, Renata Ashford de Savoie, Princess of Savoy and her noble pedigree The Right Honourable, Heinrich von Alstreim, Landgrave of Alstreim and his noble pedigree The Right Honourable, Karl Barclay, Count of Freimark and his noble pedigree IN NAMEN GOTTES, His Excellency, Sir Johann Erich Barclay KML, Lord Marshal of Hanseti-Ruska, Prince of Sutica, Duke of Reinmar, Margrave of Vanderfell, Count of Kretzen, Baron of Freising and Sigradz, Lord Vandalore, Lord of Wilheburg and Freisburg, Chieftain of the Reinmaren Her Excellency, Georgina Sofiya Barclay, Grand Lady of Hanseti-Ruska, Princess of Sutica, Duchess-Consort of Reinmar

Georgina Barclay read over the letter, a sigh escaping her lips. "Ah've nay idea why me 'usband 'as been so wounded from th' word'sae some child. Law states 'es free from punishment, duelin' th' laddie like 'es a man is as dishonourable as it gets."

Georgina Barclay looked between her husband, Duke Johann of Reinmar and the missive. She sighed, for while he was a "Prince," he would never be a Ferryman...

A FAITHFUL PILGRIMAGE Issued by the DUCHY OF REINMAR On this 2nd day of The Grand Harvest of 67 SA It has been close to a year now since we left for our pilgrimage. In this time, have we traveled far and wide. We have bare witness to many places, people and events. With no weapons nor armor on our side except for the Blessed Axe, we were not once under threat, not once did we come under malcontent as GOD kept us safe. The first part of our promise to the High Pontiff is now complete, as we turn our eyes back home to start the tutorship to become Deacons of the Mother Church. With this, do we also fulfill the second promise, only much greater in size. From the Houses of Barclay von Reinmar and Barclay von Freimark, the sum of 6500 mina has been sent forwards to the Holy Mother Church, 500 of which shall be directed to the newly found St. Catherine’s orphanage in the Royal City of Karosgrad. [!] Below the missive was attached a journal, the route which the Prince and Princess of Sutica took on their pilgrimage. Basilica of St. Heinrik - The Royal City of Karosgrad Our first destination was the Basilica of St. Heinrik. Situated at the heart of the Capital of the Kongzem of Hanseti-Ruska. Upon entering, we knelt before the Statue of GOD and prayed to St. Heinrik to bring justice upon those who would stay from the path of GOD, and to bless the common folk of Canondom with plentiful harvest. After our prayer, we knelt before Exalted Sigismund’s reliquary, soon after departing. Shrine of St. Tylos - The Kongzem of Hanseti-Ruska From the Basilica of St. Heinrik, did we depart towards the cold northern wastes of the Rimeveld, where the Shrine of our distant relative, St. Tylos of Kalden was located. After a harsh journey, did we arrive at the site. We knelt before the shrine, praying for those lost from GOD’s light and the recovery of Canondom’s horse population which has suffered greatly in this war. Chapel of St. Tylos - The Duchy of Reinmar From the frozen Rimeveld and the Shrine of St. Tylos did we make our way back to our home. Briefly did we stay in the grounds of Reinmar as we walked to the still damaged Chapel - offering a prayer to the Health of all those who reside within the Duchy, and that all damage done to GOD’s plain be repaired. Church of Vuillermoz - The Viscounty of Vuillermoz After prayer in the Chapel of St. Tylos, did we move onwards towards the border of the Holy Orenian Empire. Our aim was to go see the relics of St. Harald Vuiller, but our path towards the church was obstructed by some sort of spell having taken over the trees. Instead, lacking the equipment to break through such, did we kneel before the entrance, praying for St. Harald to watch over those who’ve died in service to the Church, and that the servants of Iblees be banished from this plain. Basilica of the Argentate Star - New Providence After traversing through the Orenian countryroad, did we make our way to the Empire’s Capital. There, we were met by the Archchancellor and escorted by him and some Knights to the Basilica. Upon entering the Basilica, did we kneel before GOD’s altar, offering a prayer to humanity, and mending of relations between the Canonist nations. Crossroads Chapel - The Holy Orenian Empire On our way to leave the Empire, we paused at the Crossroads. There, we entered their Chapel for a quick prayer to those who have lost their lives fighting in this war, and to all those Canonist soldiers who still continue to raise arms in defense of their homes. Basilica of Bl. George of Leuvardeen - San Luciano For the final destinations of our pilgrimage, we headed south towards the Principality of Savoy. There, we stepped to the Basilica of Bl. George of Leuvardeen and knelt and began prayer for the health of our children and families. Church of the Blessed Nicolas As we exited the capital of Savoy, we headed towards our cousins in the County of Freimark. In a church named after our ancestors, we signed the Hussariyan and knelt for the final time, our uttered prayer in dedication to those who laid down their lives for our Canonist faith. IN NAMEN GOTTES, His Excellency, Johann Erich Barclay, Lord Marshal of Hanseti-Ruska, Prince of Sutica, Duke of Reinmar, Margrave of Vanderfell, Count of Kretzen, Baron of Freising and Sigradz, Lord Vandalore, Lord of Wilheburg and Freisburg, Chieftain of the Reinmaren Her Princely Grace, Georgina Sofiya Barclay, Grand Lady of Hanseti-Ruska, Princess-Consort of Sutica, Duchess-Consort of Reinmar
