On charges of High Blasphemy, Assault against the ever Holy and Almighty G-D, and Terrorism. Issued by the Count of Stirland On the 16th of Sun’s Smile of the year of 2037 [!] The Gallows that awaits FOLLOWING THE HORRID VANDALISM OF THE STIRLAND CHURCH, AND THE LACK OF APPARENT SUSPECT, THE EVERFAITHFUL HOLY SER PETER ROVARE HAS ISSUED A CALL TO HUNT. The Church of Saint Andrik of Vydra within the village of Stirland has been found ravaged by an unknown force, with even the holy confessional and baptismal desecrated by these rabid heathens. It is with this, that the Lord of the Lands, Holy Ser Peter Rovare issues a call to hunt down this criminal, and a reward of 100 Minas to any who can bring this vile villain with either incriminating evidence or a confession.

His Lordship, Peter Rovare, Count of Stirland, Viscount of Haldeberg, Baron of the Oakenwald, Lord of the Starts, Banneret of the Holy Grail, High Seat of House Rovare, Patron of the Oakenwald Steakhouse, Protector of the Salvian People and the Hamlet of Oakhaven

[!] This is a POV post, only to show character development and is not known in roleplay unless explicitly told or you were there. [!] The Candles. Gold were the first 2 candles the Rovare saw before him, and one of Black. One had found him when he still loved the world, and had given him a Rose. One had found him in time to make him hate the world, and had made the rose wilt away. One had found him with the bitter taste of regret, and left as soon as they came. The aging lord sat in his study, surrounded by relics, reminders, and regrets. As he wrote a cast aside parchment detailed a failed letter to the rose that would become the fourth candle should lady luck grow jealous once more. Was 3 enough? Or would the cold overtaking the world overtake him as well? Or would his daughter? A rose of gold, stained red by the broken glass. The ground rumbled, shaking the very foundations of the Castle Oakenwald - the strained chains of a delicate crystal chandelier snapping taut, a roaring whistle sounding as it came hurtling down from above. Crash, crack, splinter. The table broke into pieces, crystal and wood having flown out. His daughter, the first thought, as he dove across the table, he sheltered this girl but he could not shelter the first, both with hair of spun gold and eyes like his. The rose of gold, still yet to bloom, sheltered his son, his heir, the child not yet ready for the sad lessons his father had to teach. As she sheltered his son, the lord sheltered his daughter, he felt like the scribe once more. She cried as her brother bandaged the wounds, and he held the daughter he could still hold. But he would never forget the one he had lost. All the while, the rose stood to the side. Blue were the next candles, still of 3, and as the Lord beheld them his felt as the Scribe once again, for what was the power of the Lord if they could do naught, but read. The First, was dry, smelling of parchment, and the tears of regret. The death of a son who never bore his name, who had left, but had never come home. And so the Scribe said to the Lord, where is my Son, Lord? The Second, was new, smelling of spring blossoms, that would never see summer. The death that came not as a surprise, but as a crushing of hope. The Sins of the Father, the Burden of the Son. For the Father came the arrow and for the Son the sword. The Scribe could save neither, and the Lord had built the pyre. The Third, was cold, smelling of steel, and the blood that stained it. Neither Scribe nor Lord presided over this judgement, for the Soldier was responsible for this judgement, but the Lord was not free of blame. This candle was neither the Sins of Father, nor Son, but of Pride, and the Burden of Duty, which weighed as a mountain. And then sometime more later, the Scribe sat covered in the blood of patients, his daughter, a stranger, a son, and others beyond count. Arrows and glass tore skin all the same, and blood stained the Scribe’s hands, who drank until the Lord bore the weight once more. A Summons? A Condemnation? A Missive. A Piece of Parchment. Though 3 Candles stood on his desk, accusing him, demanding his notice. A Piece of Parchment. Condemned his family to the life he once led. A Piece of Parchment. The Soldier grinned, the Scribe wept, and the Lord was silent. Silver were the last candles, of 3, as bad things always came in 3’s. The Scribe wrote, the Soldier cackled, and the Lord wondered if the next set of 3 would be pyres. His sons of 3 called to war. He worried for Elias, not for his death, but for the Soldier driving him to the life of the Father. He worried for Lucien, who despite his name was to live the life of the Scribe. He wept for Adonis, who in his heart was the Scribe, but he must be broken into the Lord, lest he be swept up under the tide of what was to come. Peter Grayson Rovare sat in his chair. Surrounded by relics of his past. Regret seeping into his bones. A Reminder of his family’s fate, in ink before him. His heart was broken as he uttered words, but his voice rooted in Oak, “let not my sons suffer my fate…”

"And so my sons march to war" A man says sitting at the head of a broken table, shards of crystal and glass being the only subjects he gazed upon as he looked over the ruined dining hall of his old Seat. Holy Ser Peter Rovare, the Count of Stirland, and a Father, looked at the portrait of his family, torn by the shrapnel of the Earthquake before he stands and leaves the room, going to sit upon the Oaken Throne and look upon the gathered folk, brought back to the injuries he had spent hours tending in the aftermath of the first attack. "My people, my vassals, my friends, and my family. The Kaiser has called us to arms, for the safety and security not just of the Empire, but fir all of God's Domain. Let us show the spawn of hell, that the Banners of Stirland shall never fall" He says as he quietly wonders how many before him he had sentenced to death.

The Knight to the now Former Squire in question reads over the missive, enjoying the wonderful Middenlandic Delicacy known as Jack and Coke before pausing, doing a double take. "He did ******* what?" Holy Ser Peter Rovare, the Banneret of the Grail says out lout.

I dont have any mainline rovare slots, but I can definitely find you a place in Stirland, and my character is a ranking Holy Order member and we have a fairly high church affiliation and artist community. Hmu up discord for details! @based1salmon

On counts of Banishment and Darkfriendliness Issued by the Count of Stirland On the 8th of Malin’s Welcome of the year of 2028 [!] The Gallows that awaits FOLLOWING THE PUBLIC OUTBURST IN THE THRONE ROOM OF CASTLE OAKENWALD, VALORIA, OF UNKNOWN SURNAME IS HENCEFORTH BANISHED FROM THE COUNTY OF STIRLAND, ON PAIN OF DEATH. This incident then ended with ‘Valoria’ departing from the town, screaming a prayer to Iblees wishing for the death and damnation of the souls of those within Stirland. However, Holy Ser Peter was quick to pray to Owyn for the protection and safety of his people and distribute Holy Water to the citizens and sheep of Stirland. Valoria is about 6 spans tall, weighing 10 stone with Dark hair and a scar across the face. They are nearly always clad in gilded armor which they claim is to protect themselves from the Darkspawn they serve. Should they reenter the County of Stirland, their life will be forfeit. His Lordship, Peter Rovare, Count of Stirland, Baron of the Oakenwald, Lord of the Salvians, Banneret of the Holy Grail, Duke of Antium, Patriarch of House Rovare, Patron of the Oakenwald Steakhouse, Lord Protector of the Salvian People and the Hamlet of Oakhaven

A Formal Invitation to the Nomadri Caravan Issued by the Count of Stirland On the 10th of Snow’s Maiden of the year of 2028.

So know this, to the Nomadri people, and caravan leaders, should you seek a land to rest your caravan for a time, I offer the county of Stirland.

Seated at his desk in Castle Oakenwald, The Lord Chancellor, Count Peter Rovare, reads over the missive contemplating what had been changed with a vote and a stroke of a pen, before looking down over the Countess's gardens, where his daughter sat drinking tea with her companions, and then to the Courtyard, where his sons played at being knights with wooden swords. "So long as they shall have a good future, any sacrifice is worth making" he says idly, ignoring the questioning looks from his secretary and the Captain of the Guard.

The Official Statement on the Death of Constantine Marna Issued by the Ravenlord of House Rovare On the 17th of The Amber Cold of the year 2024. [!] The Ravenseat of House Rovare, sitting in the aftermath of the to-be-described events. FOREWARD It may have come to the attention of those reading, that Constantine Marna is dead by my hand, and a traitor to the realm. However, this is not the full context, so I shall lay it out here. Though all must know this, my loyalty remains to House Rostova. The Leadup to the Confrontation at Eredmar Before the Trial For the sake of brevity, yet also for the sake of context I must make clear certain prior events that are not publicly known that led up to this series of events. Upon the death of Prince Thorin, not 5 months after his death and before his burial, Lord Constantine began scheming and plotting to marry the now-dead Princess Isabel Rostova, the widow of the recently deceased Prince Thorin. Around this same time, I had received Prince Thorin’s last request to myself, that I protect his children and his family, a task which I swore blood oath before the altar of Saint Lucien to uphold that very night. Upon hearing of Lord Constantine’s actions, Prince Allerick and I confronted him in the streets, though he leveraged his power as Prime Minister of the Ravenstates to ensure we did not accost him on this matter, and by his legal authority, the matter set, though it also cemented my distrust of Lord Constantine. Following the Trial After the trial in which Lord Constantine was stripped of his position as Prime Minister, at least until such a time as a vote of no confidence was called. Following this, Lord Constantine met with me, Former Lady Mayor Ukukal, and the Captain of my most Loyal Bluecloaks, Alexander Arrcado and discussed plans to remove Prince Owyn from power and install himself, as Prime Minister at the head of Parliamentary Regency. This matter was done with such haste to ensure Prince Owyn would be caught off guard. He directly declared that House van Aert would support his choice to usurp Prince Earoslav and Prince Thorin’s kin in favor of himself. Presumably, because he was a ‘superior’ statesman. It was with this we rode forth to the confrontation at Eredmar, none knowing what was to unfold, myself and Lady Ukukal assuming a peaceful petition, with the Bluecloaks brought along only as security. The Confrontation at Eredmar And the Death of Constantine Leopold Marna Upon arrival at Castle Eredmar, Lord Constantine was directly hostile, demanding the Prince relinquish his crown and allow Parliament to assume authority without calling a Parliament session or vote. Once Prince Owyn directly refused, Lord Constantine began to draw the boom steel Warhammer belonging to Prince Earoslav on Earoslav’s kin, the Rostovas whom I was sworn to protect. It was with this that I made my loyalty clear, for I would not allow any of Prince Thorin’s kin to come to harm so long as I drew breath and had the Bluecloaks to enforce my will. As Lord Constantine drew his hammer to attack the Prince, I drew my sword, and silently prayed to the Exalted Owyn for strength as I drove my sword into Marna’s back, from there began a duel, steel against the great magical weapon that Constantine wielded. However the Saints guided my blade, despite injury taken to myself, caving in my breastplate with the weapon of the Grand Prince, I surged forth, striking down Constantine as he reeled back from the strength of the weapon he was unfit to wield, however, a battle was not done, as besotten by the blood rage, the orc Ukukal was attempting to stab Prince Allerick with a foul blade made of Azhl, so I surged forth, meeting the orc blow for blow until she was pacified, not for glory, but for Duty. Know the folly that brought down those who would usurp House Rostova. Death to those who rebel. Blood For Rostova. Until the End. His Lordship, Peter Rovare, Baron of the Oakenwald, Lord of the Salvians, Banneret of the Holy Grail, Duke of Antium, Head of House Rovare, Lord Protector of the Salvian People and the Hamlet of Oakhaven

Holy Ser Peter 'The Bold' Rovare, as his former squire had now taken to calling him, sat on his throne, his hands and sword still bloody, the cries of his newborn sons fill the castle just as Constantine's death cries filled the mans ears. He had done his duty, but a man lay dead by his hands.... So Peter had survived yet another battle, but the costs grew ever higher.

The Baron of the Oakenwald, Ser Peter Rovare, is proud to be a Salvian, where at least he knows hes free.

The Baron of the Oakenwald, Holy Ser Peter Rovare, reads the missive without comment, though raising his wine glass in toast of the newly appointed Grand Prince. Though he sits, waiting for Owyn I to make his first move.

Our Homeboy Lomiei made a naval system and hes gonna come back to teach us boys, if yall repost these mechanics guides everywhere you can!!

Holy Ser Peter sits in his study, surrounded by captured banners, copies of the scrolls, and other prizes from his many victories, though feeling none of the pride he once had, the trinkets and trophies meaningless amidst this great lost, Prince Thorin, his long time friend and the man who had shown him kindness and trust when he was but a refugee, clinging to a fallen nation, was gone. Peter looks to an empty spot on his wall, directly across, marking the spot for a mural of his fallen friend, to hang right next to that of his fallen Brother. Peter then takes a stroll through the quiet halls of his keep, the sound of his newborn daughter crying ringing on hollow ears as his wife and servants meant to answer it. Found himself holding a candle, walking into the great crypts of Oakenwald, and placing the candle at his shrine to Saint Lucien. First the Darkspawn had taken his brother, now the Heretics had taken his friend. Peter donned the white tabard of the Grail, the Rhodesian cross shone like blood, mounting his steed and riding out of the gates, knocking over bystanders in his haste, heading directly to Eredmar, and Allerick. Thorin's son would have revenge, Peter would settle for blood.

The esteemed Baron of the Oakenwald and Duke of the Petty Title Antium, Holy Ser Peter ROVARE, would sit in his study, across from his loyal vassal, Cesare Roa, trimming his nails with an aurum dagger, nicking his finger with no reaction. "Cesare, don't listen to the rabble, heretics cause brain fog you know. Either way, if they want Antium back, or to bring me to justice, they know where I am, I'm not hiding."

✧⥼─────────────────────⥽ ⚜ ⥼─────────────────────⥽✧ ISSUED BY THE LORD PROTECTOR OF THE SALVIANS IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2022 ✧⥼─────────────────────⥽ ⚜ ⥼─────────────────────⥽✧ RECENT EVENTS HAVE RAISED A CONUNDRUM, AND A NEW LEVEL OF DISGRACE BROUGHT UPON THE SALVIANS BY THE ACTION OF THE ROGUE TRAITORS THAT HAVE CLAIMED REMNANT STATUS IN THE FORM OF THE TITLE “ANTIUM.” Thus, as Lord Protector of the Salvians, Holy Ser Peter Rovare, has, with heavy heart, moved to take action and secure the reputation and honor of the Salvian people from further slander and disgrace through the actions of the Antiumites. ✧⥼─────────────────────⥽ ⚜ ⥼─────────────────────⥽✧ The Crimes of Brasca and the Antiumites ✧⥼─────────────────────⥽✧ THE PRIMARY MOTIVATIONS FOR THE ACTIONS TAKEN AND DECREES MADE IN THE FOLLOWING SEGMENT STEM FROM 3 MAJOR FACTORS; THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE LORD PROTECTOR, THE CRIMES OF ANTIUM, AND THE CRIMES OF ELYNORA AF BRASCA. Firstly, on the matters of the rights of the Lord Protector, the Lord Protector has a set of rights and privileges granted by the cross between his non-Salvian titles and honors, his status as General and Regent of the Republic of Salvo, and those which may be reasonably grasped for the safety, prosperity, and wellbeing of the Salvian People. These rights include but are not limited to, the ability to prosecute Salvians, Former Salvians, and especially current/former members of the Salvian State army for crimes they have directly committed unless these charges cause tension with another Sovereign entity that is recognized as legitimate and Canonist by the Holy Church of the Canon, the power to revoke, audit, or claim titles that are Salvian in nature unless confirmed or protected by the Holy Church of the Canon or recognized by a Canonist nation, and the ability to issue bounties and condemnations against current and former Salvians. However, it is to be noted, that all Salvians who President Mitch McCanon or his successors led are safeguarded from these powers, and free of the Lord Protector’s power and authority unless they willingly subject themselves to such. As to the duties of the Lord Protector; the Lord Protector is tasked with ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the Salvian people, be it physical, political, spiritual, or otherwise. Therefore, the Lord Protector must ensure he fulfills several related duties, including but not limited to: Providing shelter, housing, and work to any Salvian (who has not been subject to legal charges, ex-communication, or the Lord Protector’s condemnation) if they cannot find such for themselves, the Lord Protector must ensure the legal integrity of all Salvians, both preventing them from breaking the laws of secular and religious institutions and ensuring justice and punishment should they find themselves guilty of such (the Lord Protector is obligated to represent the Salvian in court should they believe the accused’s innocence) and most important of all, ensuring the faith and integrity of the Salvian successor nations (namely Antium and the Barony of Oakenwald) by any means necessary. In regards to the Crimes of Antium; the crimes of Antium are rather straightforward, the first, being mundane but shameful to its very core, this being the running away from the debts of Antium, some 1600 mina in total due to the Holy Pontifical States, this shame is compounded by Antium shortly after defaulting on this debt paying some 2000 or more mina both for their vassalage in Ravenmire and the construction of a small town. The second of these crimes, though by far the worst is the crime of betrayal of faith and honor, first evacuating the Pontifical States without so much as a word to the Church for vassalage under a non-Canonist nation (The Grand Kingdom of Urguan,) but then intensifying their dastardly deeds by then breaking contract and refusing to fight schisms and enemies of the faith under call both from the Church and the Grand Kingdom to instead reside in Celianor, a nation of known Darkspawn, Elves, Heretics, and Pagans. Regarding the Crimes of Elynora af Brasca (now deceased); this too is rather straightforward and as damning if not more than the crimes of her failed state. She has been charged with and declared guilty on counts of treason and cowardice. This as well as her aggressive actions, lack of faith, and refusal to the call to arms in the war of the Covenant. Dying a coward in Celianor, away from God or proper burial. With no legitimate legal heirs in good standing with the faith. ✧⥼─────────────────────⥽ ⚜ ⥼─────────────────────⥽✧ For all must repent their sins, by choice or by sword. ✧⥼─────────────────────⥽✧ THE PRIVILEGES AND DUTIES GRAND THE POWER, THE CHARGES GRANT THE CAUSE, AND THE DISTANCE FROM GOD LEAVE NO ROOM FOR FORGIVENESS, SO WITH THIS REPENTANCE SHALL BE STERN AND UNYIELDING. The title of Antium, both the Duchy and the Republic are forfeit, to be held by the Lord Protector in aeternum or until such a time the title is dissolved, or reissued. All residents of Antium are hereby obligated to make their way either to Castle Oakenwald or the City of Earosgrad to answer for their crimes, declare fealty, and be directed to the Holy See to seek repentance. They may also send a bird to Holy Ser Peter to schedule a time beforehand. Those who reject this order are considered guilty of high treason. All titles concerning Antium are considered dissolved save for Antium, which is to be held by the Lord Protector under previous terms. Ultio Octavianus and Nymeria Oakheart shall be held responsible for Antium’s 1600 mina in debt to the church, as well as another 400 in fines for the crimes of themselves and the Pauper Duchess. ✧⥼─────────────────────⥽ ⚜ ⥼─────────────────────⥽✧ HIS LORDSHIP, Peter Rovare, Baron of the Oakenwald, Lord of the Salvians, Knight of the Holy Order of the Grail of Saint Lucien, Head of House Rovare, Duke of Antium, Protector of the Salvian People, and the Hamlet of Oakhaven

"May peace favor the Golden Queen. She has not clung to power, but she has played her role and handed it off so she may rest and enjoy her life. Her hospitality and generosity to my people in our time of need shall NEVER be forgotten. Ave Hyspia, Ave Xiomara. The Salvians shall never forget your generosity, and our hearth be open to you and yours from now till time's end." States Lord Peter Rovare, of the Salvians, and the Oakenwald, to no-one in particular, though he does send a guarantee of safe passage and hospitality to the Queen-Emeritus.
