Something was off, something the page couldn't pinpoint. 

Ada Natalya Colborn grew worried for her pet eagle, Eagly - even though it was completely normal for Eagly to be on his own, the young page was still concerned. She assumed it was her anxiety from being sleep deprived.

Later that day, Ada sat on the rooftop of the chapel near the knight's keep, awaiting for Eagly's return. He eventually arrived - frantic, disturbed, shocked opposed to his snarky attitude.

He knew something but she didn't know what.

Maybe this was the “something was off” feeling she was experiencing.

THE FALLEN COLBORN

[!] A portrait of the late Godric Adrian Colborn, painted before his death in 437 E.S.

A husband, a father, a son - the Colborn family lost a treasured family member in the most recent attack and kidnapping within the heart of Karosgrad. The forty-three year old man, Godric Adrian Colborn, risked his life to save the young Isadora Basrid from being abducted a second time by frost witches and their allies. He perished during the rescue; dying an honorable death.

A funeral is currently being scheduled. A date should be published soon, if anyone wishes to stop by and give the Colborn family their condolences. May Lord Godric Colborn rest in peace.

APPRAISING A POET

[!] An official portrait of Sir Borris Iver Kortrevich.

Recently the Knights’ Bard, Kossar Borris Kortrevich, has been investing his time into the research and subsequent publication of a Knights’ Poetry Anthology - titled “The Silver Crows Anthology” upon its completion. In contrast to the budding Court Poet’s previous works, being Poem Compilations published nearly yearly, these are singular poems released individually. Most poems depict the final Knight’s Quest of various squires of the Order of the Crow. Some poems surround those still with us today, while the majority of them secure the legacies of long-dead Knights of the Table. Each of the figures written of are most honourable militarily, and the writers of this Bull Post applaud Sir Borris for his efforts to conserve such rich Haeseni history.

For any interested readers, this writer’s favourite poem of the now-published Anthology is the poem dedicated to the Knight’s Quest of Ser Conrad ‘The Bulwark’. The writers are most looking forward to the subsequent works of the Battle Bard.

A NEW KNIGHT PARAMOUNT

[!] A painting of the infamous Knights Table located in the hallowed halls of Hallasburg.

After the most honourable retirement of Ser Reinhardt ‘The Unbroken’ Barclay from his long-held position as Haense’s Knight Paramount, guiding generations of knights and squires through their Knight Trials and knighthood, His Majesty the King has selected the Barclay’s successor: Ser Walton ‘The Wall’. Ser Walton is a well-travelled, experienced member of the Table - serving as Ser Reinhardt’s Meyster for 13 years prior to this appointment. He is widely acknowledged by Royals, Aulic Officers, and citizens alike, to always be the first to any action in the Capital, and a fierce protector of the Kingdom’s citizenry, making him a perfect fit for the most prestigious position as the holder of the 1st Seat of the Knight’s Table.

The Writers wish to thank Ser Reinhardt for his many years of hard work in the Order of the Crow, and congratulate Ser Walton on his ascension. The citizens of Haense await with baited breath the Drowning of the Blades ceremony, where the appointment shall become official.

NOBLE NEWS

A FASHIONABLE DISPLAY IN THE MORRIVI

[!] A painting of the royal throne in the Morrivi Palace.

To replenish the Royal coffers following the construction costs of our beloved Morrivi Palace - mentioned in the previous edition - the Royal Household of Queen Amadea have decided, in collaboration with her Royal tailors and seamstresses, to host an auction of the outfits created. It is believed that Her Majesty will have her wards model these outfits with the hopes of selling each for a substantial price. The event should be the auction of the season, and the writers imagine that a great majority of these sales will be garments to be worn during the Lifstala season in several years’ time.

The event resembles that of a similar auction hosted for an alike reason during the reign of Queen Emma - a most popular affair that this writer remembers fondly from youth. For those with a vested interest in the event, this writer predicts the popularity of garments #5, #6, #10, & #12, and hopes for a substantial success for Her Majesty and the rest of her Council.

WRITTEN BY ADELE EMMA LUDOVAR
 

A GRAND REPLENISHMENT OF THE COURTS

[!] A portrait of the newly appointed Grand Lord, Mikhail Tuvya var Ruthern.

As mentioned in the last edition of the Bull Post, Queen Amadea was searching for willing courtiers to fill the positions of Palace Custodian and Court Chamberlain in her Inner Council. Luckily for her, they were soon filled by Her Ladyship, Zoya vas Ruthern, an ex-Grand Maer of Karosgrad and hardworking headstrong woman with experience managing events in the Palace and Capital, and by Her Ladyship, Maeve Morovar, Baroness-Consort of Ghaestenwald. She may be a newcomer to Her Majesty’s courts, but given her role as the Baroness-Consort there is no doubt her competency and the writers await their forthcoming works with interest. 

Surprisingly however, Princess-Dowager Dorothea Isabel stepped down from her role as Grand Lady only a few years into her tenure. It seems that Her Majesty wished to keep the role in the family, for she soon inducted His Grace, Mikhail var Ruthern, to serve in his twin’s place. Despite such a swift swapping of positions, hopes for the first Grand Lord in recent memory are high and the writers hope that a fresh Inner Council - under the watchful guidance of Queen Amadea - will bring new ideas and vitality to the Courts. 

The Bull Post also wanted to dedicate a paragraph to the neverending hard work of the Mistress of the Robes; Her Ladyship, Nikoleta Barbara Baruch and her dutiful team of assistants. The second season of Moda i ve Kort has surpassed expectations and is well on the journey to surpass the gravity & excellence of season one.

A NOTABLE ANNIVERSARY

[!] A copy of the illustration associated with the Hearsay of Hanseti-Ruska since its first Edition.

While our gossip-giving friend, the Mistress of the Whispers, has yet to make her glorious return for the next Lifstala season, the Writers of the Kortrevich Bull Post wanted to highlight and congratulate its scandalous sister publication for reaching its semisequicentennial anniversary - celebrating 75 years of publication. It’s possible that the majority of the Haeseni population has been affected - even if via proxy - by the infamous anonymous gossip paper. No other publication on the continent can claim that level of infamy, and these writers wanted to take a paragraph to celebrate. Scandalous or infamous, the airing of a new edition of Hearsay will always be a staple of Haeseni gossip and its Lifstala seasons. 

These writers may be stumped by the ability of the Mistress to continue her brochure over several generations - suspecting an immortal writer - however her consistency is admirable and this Volume of the Bull Post hopes to one day achieve such a legacy. Here’s to another 75 years of Hearsay!

A GIFT OF HONOR

[!] A portrait of the Lady Palatine working diligently at her desk.

The writers wanted to extend their very special thanks to Her Excellency, Lady Isabel Baruch, for her explicit praise and exposure of the Bull Post in her newest institution; dubbed “Honouring the Haeseni”. Ideally, a volume is intended to be published once every four years detailing specific works of Haeseni citizens deserving of praise from the Palatial and Crown offices. 

The Lady Palatine was most complimentary of the Post, and, in return, her efforts of praise and service are appreciated by the citizens of Haense and this Post. In Volume one, the Lady Palatine wrote commendations of the following: Queen Amadea for her designing of the Morrivi Palace, for the efforts of now-Knight Paramount Ser Walton ‘The Wall’ and now-deceased Lord Godric Colborn in their bravery to take on various beast attacks in the protection of others, to the wards of the Queen’s Council for their proficient event-running - Adelajda Ruthern, Tatyana Ludovar, and Princess Analiesa, to the hardworking Deputy Surgeon General Lucía Rutledge, the Viscountess Kortrevich for revitalising this very Kortrevich Bull Post, and finally, to Lady Elia Colborn for her efforts of constructing a Haeseni Guild of Architects.

Each of these citizens are to be praised extensively for all of their work, and the Bull Post hopes that the Lady Palatine’s “Honouring the Haeseni” will continues for many years to come.

The runaway Colborn returned home briefly to see her father's corpse. She didn't want to stay any longer and cause more heart break to her family. Before Ada headed back to hiding, she cleaned up the tavern, adding more flowers and candles around the place. She left a small package and a note at the entrance, filled with flowers and unlit candles.

"Skrali for everything Fadir. We will avenge eym. That's a promise from me."

Maybe Adrian and Ada were both scheming similar ideas, she didn't know. Just a matter of time before they bump into each other...

Thinking everything was alright, Ada Natalya Colborn put on her page uniform, ready to head on and do her everyday patrol. She passed by the farm houses, checking up on the crops and the farmers. Then she headed into the city, waving at the guardsmen at the front gates. The lass continued down the street, realizing something was off. The citizens of her kingdom had worried looks, whispering to each other.
 

The first thing she did was check in with the tavern, not noticing any different. Second, she headed to the clinic seeing if there were any injured. Seeing the wounded, she stepped out, allowing the medics do their thing.

She spotted Katerina and Isabel, talking to the Basrid family, noticing their behavior - the same as the rest from earlier before. So being the page she is, she walked over, hoping to find out what happened.

Instead, Isabel and Katerina brought her to the basilica, trying to tell her the horrific news. Ada didn't want to hear it, claiming the Lady Palatine was lying to her and it was just nonsense. 

In the end, she became resentful.

She resented Isabel Baruch for not allowing her to see her father. She resented Ser Conrad Barclay for not training her more. She resented Lucia Rutledge for not teaching her how to treat people. She resented Isadora Basrid the most since her father gave up his life to save hers.

Her bags were packed. Her room was left unlocked, leaving without a trace. Ada didn't want to return. Everyone failed her and her father.

Esmée Gabrielle Kortrevich stopped by the tavern, holding flowers and candles in her arms. She lit a few of them up, leaving them around the place. She left the flowers on the counter for the family. She was going to miss her friend dearly.

"... What events has she done?" Esmèe squinted at Maeve's name. She turned to her husband, practically shoving the missive into his face. "I've done more, have I not? Have I not done more than her as a consort? Did I not almost get us a promotion under my regency?" She lit up another cigarette, "Merde, I should've talked to Dorothea personally then send a letter."

Esmèe Kortrevich paced around her office, reading the missive with one hand and a cigarette in the other. ".. If anyone's opinion matters here, it should be his. I do niet think a man should be the Grand Lady." The Viscountess sighed, shaking her head in annoyance.

Demitriyus Baswara Kortrevich glances at his wife (@Maevlin), "Maybe the family could sign up for this?"

Esmée Kortrevich runs over to her husband (@Phersades) with the missive in hand, "NIKOLAI! LOOK, LOOK! SHE WROTE ABOUT ME! AND THE POST!" She shoves the paper into his face, "READ IT, LOOK!"
 

Ada Natalya Colborn smiles proudly when her family is mentioned twice. She hung up the missive in the living room of the Colborn manor for everyone in the family to see!

NEW BULL POST WRITER

[!] Countess Adele Ludovar writing the next edition from her office in Otistadt.

As everyone should have seen, the lovely writer and founder of “Ve Kortrevich Bull Post” - Esmée Kortrevich - invited anyone interested in participating in her newspaper to contact her, at the conclusion of the previous edition. As such, the Countess Ludovar reached out to her friend with interest in writing a new column for the Bull Post, now dubbed “Noble News”. 

The section is intended to help readers to keep up with the tumultuous news surrounding Haense’s various Royal and Noble families. It is not designed with the intent of spreading gossip - that duty is held steadfastly by the “Hearsay of Hanseti-Ruska”, as endorsed by Her Majesty, Koenas Amadea, and this Post would not dare usurp their writers - but rather spreading the well-known, published news, in a condensed format. The writers hope that its dedicated readers will share their excitement about the new columnist assisting Lady Esmée with alleviating some of her writing duties, and, if needed, will send feedback on what they’d like to see in the column and elsewhere in the Post.

NOBLE NEWS

AN EXCHANGE OF GRAND LADIES

[!] A pair of portraits of Grand Lady, Georgina Barclay, and Grand Lady, Dorothea Isabel.

Saddening news befell the Courts of Hanseti-Ruska when Matyas Baruch had to announce the death of Queen-Mother Emma Karenina’s second Grand Lady, Duchess-Dowager Georgina Sofiya Barclay. It was said that the Dowager was suffering from a disease plaguing her lungs for many years before she eventually passed away with her family from birth, in the rolling Baruch hills of Valwyck. Her Excellency will be remembered for her many years of diligency at the hands of both Koenas Emma and Amadea, for spearheading the planning and operation of the most successful Lifstala season to date, and for being the figurehead holding the first ever Aulic position afforded to the Queen’s Council; as Her Excellency, the 19th Haucherzenas of Haense.

However, Queen Amadea must have acknowledged that the Council cannot mourn for too long, lest its productivity stall, for she appointed her sister in-law; Her Highness, Princess-Dowager Dorothea Isabel as the next Grand Lady of Haense. The Princess-Dowager has already spent many years serving as Her Majesty’s Court Chamberlain - likely in training to become Grand Lady - and the writers of this Post have high hopes for her tenure. 

In similar news, these appointments have left berths in the Inner Council, with Her Majesty searching for willing replacements. Apparently Her Highness, Princess Aloisa, appears to have stepped down from her position as Palace Custodian, and thus the Koenas requires participants to adopt the positions of Palace Custodian and Court Chamberlain respectively. For those interested, the Court Chamberlain is tasked with working alongside the Grand Maer of Karosgrad to operate several events in the Royal City of Karosgrad, while the Palace Custodian is tasked with the operation of events within the Prikaz itself. In her Queen’s Curation, the Koenas planned to interview any prospective candidates, and this Post shall surely share updates once the new appointments have been announced.

VE MORRIVI PRIKAZ: THE SPRING PALACE

[!] A painting of the grand Morrivi Prikaz, as illustrated by Esmée Kortrevich.

The Royal Pair were proud to announce their newest long-term project; dubbed “Ve Morrivi Prikaz”, or “The Spring Palace”. The Royal House of Barbanov-Bihar employed a group of diligent deconstruction workers who went around the clock to break down our beloved old Nikirala Prikaz, and replace it with the Spring Palace - whose build plans were designed by the Queen-Consort herself, over several years. The construction of the Spring Palace took several months, after which it now stands as a shining jewel of Haense’s progress and prosperity.

The Palace holds a sizable Royal Residence, an indoor and outdoor ballroom, an extensive feast hall, the King’s Court room, various Aulic offices, an expansive residence for Her Majesty’s wards, its own chapel, a large Palace library, a refitted Duma hall, hidden away in the depths are the Royal vaults and servant quarters, along with halls upon halls of noble apartments.

DUCAL DEVELOPMENTS

[!] An illustration of the Rozenfeld village of Reinmar.

A well-worded missive published by Her Princely Grace, the Duchess of Reinmar, described the various illustrious additions to its rosey fields. For example, the bustling village of Rozenfeld appears (on this writer’s inspection) to have sprung up from the ground in the Duchy. It hosts a flourishing ecosystem of shops, jousting facilities, cosy cottage homes, and the Reinmaren docks filled to the brim with bobbing ships across its expansive harbour. The village boasts a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the Royal City, and the dutiful protection of its newly established houseguard.

Along with these new developments, the Princely issue seemed proud to introduce a new bordgame to our cold northern expanses. Dubbed “Waldenian Ur”, it promises to be a strategic and chance-based game similar to Haeseni chess, yet featuring a greater shortness of matches compared to its older counterpart. Luckily, further notation has been published by the Duchess on the rules of the game, and, since then (under this writer’s observation, at least), the Ur board has rarely been left unattended by the plethora of enthusiastic Rozenfeld residents.

With the General Elections of Haense beginning at the moment, these writers thought it pertinent to put out offers of advertisement to any prospective Royal Aldermen, or Grand Maers. The Post will take payment for such pieces of writing, and in exchange they shall present an account of the candidate in question’s past achievements, campaign promises, and their background, for any puzzled voters to get a more personal feel of any candidates.

If requested, the Post shall also interview paying candidates and quote them as required in the subsequent edition. If there is anything that candidates wish to tell voters, but could not include in their campaign posts, this would be the place to do so.

HOUSE COLBORN RISES UP!

[!] A painting of Godric Adrian Colborn and Adrian Erik Colborn standing in front of their family tavern.

House Colborn has served the Kingdom of Haenseti-Ruska for almost half a millennia, dating back to the 23rd of The First Seed - 1501. It was quite dormant for some time after the Vaeyl War but recently the family has made a comeback. They have taken the city’s tavern under their wing, transforming it completely. The tavern now has life and love, being poured into each drink. With the help of Dame Mariya Vyronov and the new and old staff of the Tavern, things are expected to go well. Not only has the family helped the city’s tavern prosper but they have donated materials and goods to the Brotherhood of Saint Karl due to the recent conflict ongoing in Almaris. While the older generation including the Patriarch and his brother, both having served as Lord Palatine and High Justiciar respectively. Our Koeng, Karl III, has noticed their efforts and hardwork, honoring them with nobility. House Colborn is now a barony under the Bethlenen name.

There's a long list of prizes such as a housemagery book, commissioned artwork, one of a kind doll, and even an exclusive piece from the Silken Lily by Johanna Vuiller. It will be a joyous day for all Canonists to come together and celebrate. Come by and have fun.

Along with this, the church is recruiting. It does not matter the status or age, the church welcomes all. If anyone is interested in joining, contact any clergy member for more information.

MOTHER ORCHID’S LOVE

The first meeting of the Mother Orchid’s Love was a success! Tons of the parents came by, discussing parenthood over tea and Auvergnian pastries. Everyone who came had to introduce themselves, state their worst fear of being a parent, and what’s the best thing of being a parent. There were different responses when it came to the second question, some said being a parent was the best part, others said watching their children grow was the peak of parenthood. But there was a common fear among the parents, which was disappointing our children, not doing enough for them. Disappointing our children will happen at some point, if it's for the right or wrong reasons. I think we do enough for our children but it's up to us, helping them understand what we do for them and why we do it.

We are unsure of the motive for the stolen bones, leaving the family puzzled.

PENNED ON

8TH OF VYZMEY AG HYFF OF 429 E.S.

__________________________________________________________

VA VE EDLERVIK,

House Kortrevich is pleased to announce the revival of Kortrevich Krafters, alongside the new beginning of the L'orchidée Pourpre Company, and Pen & Ink. The Viscount and Viscountess-Consort of Krusev have decided to link the three businesses together, to further expand on the families’ creativity and talent.

There are three locations where one can find the family businesses. The main and first shop is located within the heart of Karosgrad on the main road. The second location is in Celia’nor, a small tiny stall by the front gates. Last but not least, a small store on the right near the entrance of Vienne.

__________________________________________________________

KORTREVICH KRAFTERS

Kortrevich Krafters was originally established in 1783 by House Kortrevich in partnership with craftsman Tuvya Hus. However, after many years the company had gone silent until the idea of it’s revival came from the Count Jan Otto Kortrevich, however his untimely death left the project in his youngest son Nikolai’s hands. Now, as the Viscount of Krusev, Nikolai Mikhail Kortrevich has decided to revive the business and add a new variety of products to be sold.

Everything sold by Kortrevich Krafters is all made on site at any of the shops or at the Viscounty. Kortrevich Krafters sells a variety of items between farm produce and alcohol all freshly-grown and brewed at the keep, or hand-crafted and stitched by the Viscount and staff themselves.

__________________________________________________________

L’ORCHIDÉE POURPRE COMPANY

From an early age, Viscountess-Consort Esmèe Gabrielle Kortrevich had an eye for gems, crystals, and the finest jewelry. She also has a sweet tooth for pastries, always munching on a piece. Watching her mother dress up and wear family jewels, and her father baking thousands of pastries for public events, Esmèe had an idea. She wanted to open a business where she could make jewelry, clothing, and goodies for all, no matter their status. And so, the L'orchidée Pourpre Company was made. All items are made by the Viscountess-Consort herself.

__________________________________________________________

PEN AND INK

Sir Borris Iver Kortrevich has been writing poetry since 411 ES. As time progressed, he has only gotten more comfortable in his works, moving to understand his literary style. This shop is simply to allow access to his published works directly. Complete Volumes of his works shall be available for purchase on the second floor of the shop in Karosgrad and Vienne.

__________________________________________________________

All companies are open to commissions. Please send a letter to the corresponding Kortrevich and they will get back to you as soon as possible. Some of the locations are a little bare at the moment, but please check throughout the week to see the new items. Thank you for your business and support.

SIGNÉE PAR,

THE HONORABLE, Esmée Gabrielle Kortrevich, Viscountess-Regent of Krusev

The Viscountess-Regent sat in her office, staring down at her paperwork. She didn't know what do. Usually, she would've gone to her husband for advice, to cry on his shoulder. But how could she do that if he was in a coma?

She was tired of the unfairness that the universe was sending her. She was tired of the constant whispers about her family when she walked through the streets. She was tired of waiting. She was tired of everything. 

So, Esmée got up from her seat and walked over to the window. All she could do was scream into the void, hoping everything would just stop.
