@Burnsider [!] Whilst His Majesty, Sigismund III faced an internal struggle with a doubt of faith, like many do, the worm inside of Presbyter Lleana's apple wiggled and writhed happily, enjoying the closeness and warmth of it's home. It had previously been asleep, you see, resting in a state of hibernation as silently as god's voice in the church that night. It dreamed on and on about the bitter taste of dirt, and the ants that used to crawl and bite all around him in the times before it inhabited the ripened red fruit. 'I like it much better here,' the worm thought to itself, unaware of any god or kings. 'it tastes so ni-...' Gasp! (imagine a worm doing whatever would be the equivalent form of gasping for a worm). Suddenly, the worm's world started to shake... CRUNCH 'huh? whats happening?' the worm's favorite resting place would be whirling around himself as the presbyter began to enjoy her snack in the confessional at midnight for some reason. Violent vibrations uneased the small creature of god, who knew not of it's creator. Willsterschire the Worm twisted and turned, only hoping to wait out what seemed like the entire world splitting in twain. And then... light. The worm reeled it's head back and curled as far into the center of the apple as it could, after a gaping chunk of the apple was torn away from the rest of the wall. There, was revealed revealing Lleana's opened mouth briefly before it closed, only showing a large pair of lips moving up and down. Willsterschire the worm could only blink as it witnessed something no other worm than himself could ever see, all those who lived underground, devoid of sunlight and the warmth of apples. "Well ----". The whisper of the presbyter's words might have been silent to some, but in Willsterschire the Worm's ears they rang like church bells, deafening. Were these the words of a god? what other entity could possibly throw such disarray into his life at so quick of a pace? It could, if it wanted, completely swallow the worm whole, *or*, give it 100 apples to live in, each more luxurious than the last. But instead it simply looked down at him, booming words of great mystery, then falling into silence. As it cowered in fear, it could only sit and wait for a sign, anything that would reveal the mysteries of it's power, and even maybe it's origin... not that Willsterschire could even understand it if it was laid in front of him.

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Erwin Bishop cheers for his brother in arms @__DeusVult__ and his childhood friends the Decaden Family @Lmcfc @LemonSnickers101. "Zhey have been engaged for almost as long as ich have been Married to mein vonderful vife." Erwin then does an waldenian jig in celebration. "Ich vish du 2 zhe same happiness und long life."

Erwin Bishop takes his wife's and son's hands ( @ohbother1 @__DeusVult__ ) as he breaks into a classical irish jig reading over the missive. "YEEEHEEEEEEEE". The man is suffering from inconsolable laughter after finally seeing such a based call-out from daddy feodor.

The Waldenfest held on this, the year of our descendancy, 54 S.A., was an amazingly consequential moment for our peoples. It pleases me to a high mesure to have been able to convene with my kinsmen of a culture I had not previously known was so vastly spread among such a number of descendant Houses. To start my message, I begin with a congratulations in the most significant respect to my dearest childhood friend Ulrich Lothar von Alstriem (@LithiumSedai). We have come a long way from loitering around Karosgrad’s garden market or racing around Sutica’s capital, and it makes my heart glad to note your growth into all of the various positions you now hold. The most relevant of which to this letter being Lord Vandalore. Being the newly instated leader of our culture, it now falls to you to consider the following topics: Within the 2nd Waldenic Diet of 54 S.A, the question was raised as to whether or not His Grace, Eirik Baruch of Valwyk (@Gusano), ought to have been eligible as an elector and legitimate nominee to the moot. The proceeding vote resulted in a rejectant outcome as we all remember. Despite this, I, Erwin Bishop, call for our Lord Vandalore Ulrich Lothar Von Alstriem, to instantiate Eirik Baruch based on the following principles. 1) The foundation of Lord Baruch’s ties to Waldenian culture, and therefore his interest in the moot, is the fact that the Noble House of Baruch is descended from the Royal lineage of Rovin, who happened to be present during the original Waldenfest around 200 years ago. However, descendancy from bloodlines, whether Royal, Noble, or even Waldenic, is not enough in itself to justify claiming one’s self to be truly Waldenian. It must also include active participation in cultural practices. This was the justification for your denial of electorship for Roberta de Chalons. It nevertheless stands as a significant factor in decision making which must be shown reverence. 2) By personal first hand testimony, His Grace has, as the leader of Aryian culture, attested to the fact that he and his kin consider the Ayrian culture to not be its own independent group, but rather a sub-branch of the greater Waldenian peoples. His special request of presence at the Waldenian Diet exemplifies not only his interest in the workings of our correspondences, but also his willingness to contribute to our progress in the form of diverse points of view and worldly knowledge. 3) I personally - with the example of being born and raised in the Duchy of Reinmar by my fiercely Waldenian father Henry Bishop (@Javert) - can vouch for the adherence to some foundational Waldenian principles; such as their form of speech, in my observation, with a clear disdain for flattery, and a high respect for the conveyance of direct and simple ideas. Furthermore their clothing styles certainly embody the classical highlander motifs similarly shared by members of House Barclay and Mondblume. Whilst these observations might be less objective than the other points, who knows what other pillars of Waldenian culture are exemplified everyday within the Duchy of Valwyk and the entities within its sphere of cultural influence? For these reasons, my Lord Vandalore, I implore you to at very least, allow Lord Eirik Baruch a seat in all of our future moots and conventions, so that he himself may pursue an intention to further integrate Ayrian culture and peoples into our activity. Signed,

thank you good sir

"Finish our lessons" a certain housemagery enthusiast said, waving his hands in the air while shaking his head.

Erwin Bishop smiles at the missive, gathering some shipments of foods and drinks to send over. Sitting at his table to write the info, he taps his foot along as he hums a familiar tune. "Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein" tap. tap. tap. "und das heißt:" tap. tap. tap. "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeerika".

Erwin Bishop reads the missive again, nodding happily at the invitation and preparing some letters.

Erwin Bishop raises an eyebrow to the missive, scratching his head as he sighed. "Do you think theyll actually leave the gates to go view the message?" He asks to his friend @Qaz_The_Great.

the dead Lomiei Vinelli reads the missive from his daughter Leyna Kazamir's (@ohbother1) hands... "Will they ever settle?... he really should sell that shop in haense tho. Would be a good payout, eh?"

Erwin Bishop Raises his eyebrow, "But Hes dead! he cant appoint new officers." he looks around in confusion. "It was only a saint's month ago!" exclaimed the BSK member who once saw the Elven 'leader' in person. [!] A copy of the leaflet would be reminded around the ream of all of the lands as it once was. ( )

Erwin Bishop nods at the invitation, smiling at the special acknowledgement. "Sadly," he sighed, "mein dotres are too young... und mein cousins are too old.", he placed the missive on the table shrugging as he takes a fresh parchment from the shelf and readying his inkwell. "For mein freund und allies however, ich vill prepare ein special list."

Erwin Bishop eagerly awaits a similar missive to be released with another Bishop's name on a following list (@Keegan7om).

1) Whats your Date of Birth, Social Security Number, Home adress, and IP adress? 2) How long have you played LOTC and what is your biggest regret in all of your actions on the server (respond with a story plz). 3) Why has the hartcold wiki not been updated in years? 4) Can u update ur wiki plz. 5) Cheese 6) If you had to rank the best Civilization for humans of each race rn, what would your list be? 7) Krusaw Zwy Kongzem

Helena Bishop Needs a Skygod Portrait @ age 6Portrait @ age 15Portrait @ age 29 Helena Bishop, the eldest daughter of Erwin & Adelina Bishop, does not have a player. We are looking for someone who not only is able to do quality rp with her, but also fits with the vibe of the rest of the family. Below is her information and description; More information about each topic can be discussed when further interest is expressed. Born: 41 SA, (age 9), in the Bishop Compound in Sutica, but now lives in Karosgrad with the rest of her family. Family: (Only the active ones) • Mom and Dad Obviously • 4 Brothers • 1 Sister • 1 uncle • 1 living Grandmother (paternal side) • 7 cousins [Most of the family that is active lives together in Haense] Plans for the character: There isn't much planned for the character, so any (legal) industry that the character gets into, her parents will fully support, with some notable exceptions. As far as marriage, all family member’s spouses are confirmed or denied by the patriarch, but other than that there aren't too many restrictions. It must be noted that the character is expected to be married eventually, and have children hopefully. OOC Parameters: • Desirable traits: These are good things to have, but by no means required. - We like to sit in vc while rping or just running around, or watching movies; so having a mic and being vocally active is a big plus. - Someone who doesn’t mind occasional chaotic energy or people (we are a fun group, but it can sometimes be a lot for someone if that is not the usual vibe). - We do a lot of family roleplay, and often parties, tea, balls and such, so people with that sort of interest are a good fit. • Red lines: These are things that if youre not ok with, the character might not be for you. - Helena is canonist and will remain canonist for the rest of her days - Helena is the eldest daughter in a high class family, so she is expected to follow the law and be loyal to her family.

Erwin Bishop discovers a newfound respect for the Lord Joren, reading the missive with much joy and enthusiasm. "Vell, ich disagree vith zhe forst point, zhere, Lord Joren. NAPs ensure zhe videspread security against frivolous vohrs, und zhe unfortunate dragging of our kongzem into zhem." Erwin breathes out, pacing around the room and waving the paper around as he rubbed his chin and motioned to his son Ariovistan (@__DeusVult__) every so often. "However; zhe formation und dissolutions of alliances indeed ought to bear more fruit zhan amplification of vohrfare strength; if zhe great Kongzem of Haenseti-Ruska ist to call somevon ally, it ought to mean zhat ve reflect eachozher's morals, zhat ve take PRIDE in eachozher's respect, zhat ve REJOICE in companionship!" The man breaks into near incoherant laughter. Erwin sits back down, sighing as his son probably thought him a mad man at this point. "So blessed am ICH, to have been chosen as zhe ambassador to Haense's most esteemed ally of Urguan." He drops to his knees, hands clenched together in front of him with his eyes shut, facing up towards the heavens. "GOTT as mein vitness. Ich vill committ mein upmost efforts to strengzhen zhe bonds betveen zhese 2 great descendent nations. Gott give mich zhe strength of reason und standard of vill to do such!" Eriwn then sits back in his chair, near-breathless. "Ich vill write zhis Joren ein letter. Ich had NIE idea he vas so vell versed in zhe field of politics..."

Erwin Bishop turns his head at the odd formatting of the invitation, but claps and cheers nevertheless... "DOBRY"

Erwin Bishop is both pleased that the war is ended, and disappointed that the High elven capital went down so softly
