Tremerus

Aurel von Theonus cheered upon seeing the invitation and hastily pinned it all over the family's keep.

Sir Theoderic von Theonus picked up a copy of the missive and scanned through it "What a nice lesson on how things used to be." he mused to himself while folding the document and stashing it away. His gaze returned to dancing embers from the fireplace in Vallagne's square.

Aurel von Theonus read through the missive nodding along as he went "what a guy." he said thinking out loud to himself. "I hadn't had any luck on horseback, but let's see how I fare with a boat."

Sir Theoderic von Theonus grinned once he saw the report was released. He'd finally get an opportunity to use what he learned as a member of the Northern Thunder Artillery brigade. "Prepare the cannons! Make sure we set aside enough ammo!" He shouted to ... no one in particular. He'd then ride off to scout for a proper firing position.

Theoderic von Theonus found the missive while walking around the Vallagne square. He paused to read it, flashing a smile when reaching the end. To say he was proud of all the things his wife had accomplished since they moved to the Commonwealth would be an understatement. He'd put the paper down, then run off to go get a note of his own. Added to the bottom of his wife's retirement paper was a retirement announcement of his own: I, the treasurer of the commonwealth am also retiring. Good luck Dame Wren.

A knight of the Petrine Laurel charged into the throne room with a (wooden) sword equipped, ready to test how many children the man could fight - but no one was there. Theoderic walked to the throne and surrounding area and inspected it, looking for any clues as to where the children had gone. Though all he found were crumbs. "We will root out the usurpers and put an end to this kingdom once and for all." he muttered to himself.

Theoderic took his letter when his turn came and went into the entryway to the mines guarded by his family's keep. He sighed, and began reading. Once he finished, his eyes returned to one word; son and lingered there for some time. He stared at that word until the sound of a tear, or two hitting the page shook him from the trance he found himself in. Once he collected himself, he walked out to Vissingren's courtyard where he saw Artel making his way to the gate and joined him - nodding toward the man who had become his brother. No words needed to be shared in that moment, both knew they had a job to do, and were determined to see it completed. Aurel von Theonus took his letter last and held it close to his chest as he walked up the many stairs to the family's keep. He stepped toward the big chair in the hall when a thought struck him and stopped in his tracks. He decided to leave that chair empty. Deciding that in this moment it wasn't his, that it would be better to leave that seat empty out of respect for his great-grandfather - who would probably hate the gesture - and moved toward the small chair next to it. When he took his seat he read the letter once ... twice ... and a third time, trying to take in the simple advice as best he could. He then looked to his left through a window overlooking the courtyard where he saw his uncles meet. The young margrave decided to leave them to their task and instead walked farther into the keep, stopping at the various paintings depicting his great-grandparents. Then made his way to the top of the Rose Tower where he laid down amidst the garden planted and cared for by Annette and Karl and looked to the stars. "Like this garden, you both grew our family into quite the sight to behold. I hope I'm able to continue what you started."

Theoderic read through the transcript carefully before casting his vote. "Whoever wins has big shoes to fill."

Aurel scanned the note as he stumbled across it during his move into the big tower. "Maybe I could take this challenge on..It'd be a good way to finally prove myself."

Aurel von Theonus read through the hefty report of the commonwealth, satisfied about learning so many new things about the place he called home. Though he'd frown upon reaching the end "Uncle Konny shouldn't have put his name on this. Now his debtors will know that he's in the commonwealth!"

Aurel von Theonus heard the all too familiar war cry as he helped the queen usher Vallagne's citizenry and guests through the commonwealth's tunnel network. The lad lagged behind the group, his uncle's sacrifice weighed heavily on his mind. "Rest easy, my mad uncle, your story will be told for many generations. May you find peace in the seven skies."

THE HAUNTED KEEP Issued by The Margrave of Marignan in the year of our Lord 1957. I HAVE CONDUCTED AN INSPECTION OF VISSENGREN AND HAVE DETERMINED… This keep is HAUNTED. In the months since taking over as the head of the Theonus family I have noticed signs and experienced occurrences that I find myself compelled to address with the utmost urgency. Instances of mysterious sounds, inexplicable movements and handprints smeared onto paintings, and footprints tracked on the floors within Vissingren have not escaped my notice. I hope there is a logical explanation, and am taking steps to seek the advice of knowledgeable individuals for guidance. However, the more I explore the keep, the more it becomes apparent that we are dealing with forces beyond the physical realm. Keeping that suspicion in mind, it is my belief that spirits of past family members are making their disapproval of my ascent known. That they issue some sort of challenge of my taking over as the head of our esteemed family. Speaking of which, when’s the last time anyone checked in on Ser Karl, or Annette? Anyway… I do not make these claims lightly and I understand the implications of these conclusions. Our family has weathered countless storms, and our resolve has always prevailed. Nevertheless, as your new head, it is my duty to ensure the safety and well-being of each member of our household, and any guests we may host. I invite any member of our family, friends, and the Commonwealth to join me in rooting out the cause of this activity. Together we are unwavering under the sun, and we shall face this challenge head-on. EVER UNWAVERING UNDER THE SUN, HIS GRACE, Aurel von Theonus, Margrave of Marignan, Lord of Vissingren Castle, Patriarch of Theonus.

Sir Theoderic von Theonus listened intently as the ballad carried through the square of Vallegne. He'd close his eyes and reflect on battles past. "The duo worked hard to put this together and it came out wonderfully. May it serve as a reminder of a challenge we simply cannot repeat." After some time, the resourceful knight said a quick prayer for fallen comrades and opened his eyes. He returned his focus to preparing for future battles.

Sir Theoderic von Theonus read the poem after the coronation, nodding approvingly. "Hit after hit, my squire just can't miss."

The Petran Treasurer sat in his office when the marching orders were distributed throughout the capital. He read through them, nodding as his role as a member of a trebuchet team was mentioned. He'd finish reading and replaced the orders he held with the ledger keeping track of the tax status of the commonwealth's citizens and vassals. "Hmm. There's an unpaid debt from their time with the commonwealth. It's about time we collect." And with that, Theoderic von Theonus began gathering supplies for trebuchet ammunition.

"I am very glad I'm not on the receiving end of their fury." mused a knight of the Petrine Laurel. "Though they have my shield anytime they need it." Theoderic von Theonus would say proudly after seeing the mages of Hohkmat rally in support of the commonwealth.

Sir Theoderic von Theonus read through the poem while smiling from ear to ear. He would show off his squire's work to anyone he could find in the streets of Vallagne. "This will be the first of many such poems! Just you wait and see." After some time he'd fold the paper and put it away.

Aurel von Theonus read the posters that were posted throughout the city. He'd hurriedly scribble his name on the registration list. "A game? I can't wait to win! I wonder who else is going to join..." The 10 year old muttered while looking to see if any other children of the Petra had joined.

Theoderic von Theonus read the missive aloud in front of the fireplace in his home and surrounded by his family who were all in one place again. "She's a good leader, and treated us more than fairly after we moved here." He'd set the paper down and return his focus on his children, they were likely plotting some sort of prank against him and he'd decide he must strike first.

"Let it be known that I do NOT support the first initiative. The rest, however, I support. " the treasurer, Theoderic von Theonus would clarify under threat of being beaten by his wife with a broom.

Theoderic von Theonus stopped to read it after many frantic moments pacing the Petran tax office and muttering about collecting taxes. He came to a sudden stop after a realization. "Someone's finally done it. The curse is broken!"

Theoderic von Theonus read through the missive, nodding as he went. He'd drive his fork into the last piece of trout in the city and chuckle as he ate. "No one's gonna be eating any of those for a while."

Theoderic von Theonus read the missive during one of his many breaks from frantically making sure the keep was ready to receive visitors "The deadline approaches without mercy..."
