Bye sharty

Ledicort would furrow his brows in confusion as he sees the new Pro-Church stance taken by the Archduke's side, a light chuckle as he dismissed the missive "First the Archduke insults the Pontiff in front of me, then they make demands of the church, borderlining on schismaticism and now they use Religion in their propaganda!" The man would look to his friend Peter @ErikAzogand mumble "Happy we're staying out of this one, too much nonsense with this internal wars"

Can't disagree with this logic

Ledicort Vuiller sits his office, watching outside as the hardworking Balianites rebuild their city. He would look to his dog after reading the missive, uttering unto himself "Once Balian had a lack of true representation within the church, for we had no cardinal actively working in our community. However, once Cardinal Teodosio took up the cloth and actively worked to make our lands pure and holy once more, such changed." The man would shrug looking for his cane to stand himself up, continuing his thinking out loud "Perhaps if Petrans sought out church members to become acolytes of the church and worked hard like Cardinal Teodosio, this would not have been an issue."

The Great Bear Rests Count Drako Darkwood, a man devoted to family and loyalty has died. After over 40 years of being the patriarch of the Darkwood family, having discovered ancient Darkwood history along with his cousin Orelia, revitalising and uniting the family and increasing the family status, the first Great Bear of the Darkwood family has finally laid to rest after the Necrotic Siege of Atrus. The man was killed by the arrows of the undead archers, pelting at him, by his side was his faithful companion Bertislav the Bear. The Countess Theodetta Darkwood will lay out preparations soon for a burial as she takes up the mantle of being the first Matriarch of Darkwood. May he rest in the Seven Skies.

“While we celebrate we must remember, not only that a victory came at a cost… but this is just beginning…” Ledicort Vuiller murmurs to himself, solemnly as he lays reports of the worm

“Cursed ******* dragon.” Ledicort would mumble before searching for the King to discuss the matter @Shmeepicus

The Atrus Covenant Introduction: With the oncoming attack of Cloudbreaker in the lands of Balian, and the increased missives and sightings of the undead, it has become evident to all in Almaris that there is more to come, that we will all soon be besieged by those forces of Iblees and the Necrotic. In order to ensure that all nations are defended adequately from these threats and that all of descendant-kind survive in the Ibleesian war, many nations and settlements have signed this pact in order to work together against the forces of Iblees. Definitions: Darkspawn- A tainted creature such as a vampire, azdrazi, inferi, etc. that holds unnatural power that is used to their advantage in their attacks against descendant-kind. Darkmages- A magi such as a necromancer, herald, mystic etc. that has magic that comes from a dark/evil source and uses it to their advantage in their attacks against descendant-kind. Article I - Ibleesian Forces and the Necrotic The signatories of this treaty shall hereby pledge their allegiance to each other in order to undertake the attack and defence against the forces of Iblees and the necromancers. They will focus on this war against those that seek to destroy the world above all else. Together they will use their full force in order to defeat the forces of Iblees and ensure that no nation falls to the forces that seek to divide us and ruin us. In addition all signatories are also required to share information on such matters. Article II - Testing The signatories of this pact shall all agree to test their population for any darkspawn curse or dark magic that they have. This will be done to ensure all nations remain clean of any accusations of aiding the war against descendants. These tests must be conducted by the nation themselves, and no other nation can test another’s citizens without reasonable suspicion. Additional tests shall be conducted on any attendees or participants of meetings and battles prior to the start of said meetings and battles. Article III - Duration This pact shall endure until one of two conditions are fulfilled. The first is that the war is won and the Ibleesian forces are expelled from the lands of Almaris. The second is that a meeting is held and it is determined by majority vote that the signatories do not want to continue this pact.

Francisco shakes his head as he reads the missive "Why did it have to come to this...?" he frowns lightly putting the missive down and going to look after his child

Balianite Advisory Announcement 7th of Horen’s Calling, 41 B.A. A Decree from the Crown With the Dragon oncoming, prepared to attack the lands of the Kingdom of Balian, it has come to pass that the Crown must make several announcements on the matter of advising the people of Balian what to do in the coming months. Firstly, the people are suggested to prepare for evacuation of Atrus. As the city is to come under siege, those who cannot fight the dragon, due to age, ailment, or otherwise, should take themselves elsewhere. In addition, those whom leave belongings should seek to have them taken elsewhere. Secondly, many sightings of undead and unknown black substances have some to pass. Avoid the substances as we do not know their use or strength, carry a blunt and/or aurum weapon with you at all times in case these undead attack as it is the most simple offence against them. In addition, try not to travel by yourself as it is better to have someone to fight with. Finally, prepare for a long battle, the forces that we face are undead, while we as the living hold greater strength, there will be far more. We must know the battle will be long and those who cannot fight must be prepared to aid in the clinic or however else is needed. The people of Balian have stood stalwart against every threat it has ever faced, this shall never change. In Hoc Signio Vinces. Signed, HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, Alexander I, by the Grace of GOD, King of Balian, Count of Monteres, Viscount of Eflen, Baron of Malenos, Ciavola, Brucca and Valens, Lord of Atrus and Monterosa, Protector of the Heartlanders and the South, etcetera. HIS ROYAL EXCELLENCY, Ledicort Vuiller, Amiratus of the Kingdom of Balian, Lord Seneschal of the Crown and Chief Minister of the Duana.

Francisco furrows his brows as he chuckles "Very perculiar... friendships with those executed our old leader..." he shakes his head as he puts the missive away "Grasping at straws..."

Francisco would clench his jaw at the note, leaving it untouched, while he had calmed down thanks to his sister and wife, he was still furious with his brother and the stain he had brought up on his family name as well as the damage he had done to those around him under his breath he would murmur something unheard

+1 good rework, well balanced, kinda based

Francisco de Pelear would rock his new born in his arms gently with a sigh as he reads the missive "Too long has nothing been done against the Rutherns as they invade foreign lands" he speaks as he nods his head in agreement with the post

A NEW VICEROYAL BEGINNING 23th of the Grand Harvest, 111 S.A. [!] A painting of Princess Amity and her newborn baby. On this glorious day, His Highness Francisco Javier of Hyspia & Her Highness Amity Ionna de Pelear would like to announce the birth of their first born and heir to the Viceroyal throne; Esperanza Alba Laurelie Camila de Pelear. She shall be titled as the Princess of the Viceroyalty and shall be destined to inherit all titles held by her parents. It is with the birth of our firstborn child that we envision a bright future and new chapter for Hyspia that begins with our generation. To build a better future for the youth of our home, we must work together so that when they ascend to their DIOS-given birthright, they are able to carry on the legacy of Hyspia and its forefathers with pride. As is tradition, the newborn child shall be baptized in the Chapel of Arenisca, and shall be educated by the finest scholars Hyspia has to offer as the future Crown-Princess grows into the future ruler of Our domain. We ask that all citizens of Hyspia join us in the celebration of this new life. As declared by, His Highness, Francisco de Pelear, Crown-Prince of Hyspia, Prince-Regent of Hyspia Her Highness, Amity Ionna de Pelear, Princess of Hyspia

Sigurd would grumble loudly as he rips up the missive "SKAHIN GLOBS, WUB DA SKAH AHM DEY DUIN BUURZ'MOJO?" he screams

THE DISOWNMENT OF ALEJANDRO DE PELEAR 23th of the Grand Harvest, 111 S.A. The Disownment The de Pelear house has always been a proud, pious and righteous house, maintaining such throughout our history. However, it comes to pass, as it does with all families, that some members do not hold said values in the same regard as the rest of the house. Alejandro de Pelear has proven that to be the case on his part too, having held relations with another male while engaged, and subsequently having her murder plotted and unsuccessfully executed. For these acts, the Crown Prince and Prince-Regent Francisco Javier de Pelear, announces with great displeasure the disownment of his brother Alejandro II Arman Jose de Pelear. He shall henceforth carry the second name of Sands, disowned and disinherited, only regaining the name, titles and inheritance upon a reversal of this decision. The crimes and sins mentioned will be communciated better to both the church and Justicaar’s office for them to be punished properly, along with those he commited them with. As declared by, His Highness, Francisco de Pelear, Crown-Prince of Hyspia, Prince-Regent of Hyspia

Ledicort taps his cane upon reading the missive, a rare smile gracing his face "Beautifully written and very true" he comments before giving it to Gaius to read @WaveLincoln

Francisco takes off his crown and rubs his forehead, praying for his father he was very much worried about the upcoming issues

Francisco, the crown Prince, would peak a brow showing the missive to his wife “Familiar, no?” before chuckling and preparing his suit and crown

Ledicort sets about fixing a mistake he has made, in not inviting his holiness

Ledicort Vuiller would pen his signature with a large smile on his face "Always shall the people of Almaris unite together against the evils" he speaks before inviting the paladins by bird @Evonpire

"Rebuild, rework, reform" Ledicort speaks reading over the court revitalisation, before scanning over the reforms of the past few days before looking over to the upcoming ones, truly it was a time for Balian to come into it's own.

Drako Darkwood would perk a brow "For a people so anti-empire they truly are seeming quite imperialist now aren't they?" the aging count would chuckle to the Captain @ErikAzog
