The Duke would recieve the letter and scratch his head in ponderance. He wondered how he could have fought against the azdrazi when they outnumbered by them, when they were 20 were metres away from the captives, with half his men being burnt by malflame, all his potions spent, the wizard being incapacitated. "A strategic blunder ea admit, to not have sent more men to their deaths. As if, ea made that choice due to their comments." He muttered irritadely, though with still with the inevitable guilt that came with any loss of life. It was relieved somewhat knowing there was no other strategic decision.

13rd of Tobias’ Bounty, 179 S.A By the direct order of the Duke of Brabant, Ser Sterling Whitewood, the two following individuals are to be granted the rank of Knighthood, for their sacrifice and martyrdom in the Silver Crusade, in defiance against the agents of Iblees to protect the flock of Canondom. May these men be forever known and recorded in history as exemplars of man, and Knights of Brabant. SER ALDER WHITEWOOD | 149 S.A - 173 THE YOUNG Ser Alder The Young, youngest son of Ser Sterling Whitewood, perished in the siege of Wicked Fort through the dastardly explosive corpse of the necromancers. Ser Alder took the brunt of the explosion, allowing the rest of the group to push forward to the doors of the gate. Ser Alder gripped onto life till the last minute of the siege, before succumbing to his injuries. SER RADMIR AMADOR| 68 S.A - 179 THE GRENADE Ser Radmir reached the age of 111 years old, and until his final moments, he remained defiant towards the evil of Iblees. Though not as strong as the other Crusaders in his old age, his heart was filled with boundless courage and piety. In the Battle of the Cerberus, as he saw the attacks of his fellows fail, he took the solemn decision to lay down his life with an explosive attack to injure the giant demon. With his efforts, the demon was sufficiently weakened, and his son, Professor Albus Amador was given the opportunity to finish it off. May descendant-kind continue to defy evil in all its forms. His Grace, Ser Sterling Blaxton-Whitewood, Duke of Brabant, Marquis of Lotusgrad, Baron of Blackwell, Lilenburg and Swan’s Keep, Lord of the Peaks, Protector of the Weefolk.

13rd of Tobias’ Bounty, 179 S.A Upon the mustering call, 200 men rallied for the Silver Crusade. The Crusaders were split into two platoons: The Cavalry, led by the Duke of Brabant, and the footmen, commanded by the Grand Master, Holy Ser MacSkaul. The groups sallied out of the gates to search for the colossal demon, that the Crusade had battled in a previous engagement. The Commanders anticipated that the demon hid deeper into the forest to recover, however, the spawn of Ibless then manifested in front of them from pools of blood caused by ominous red rain. With little time to retreat and man the cannons, it was ordered to charge forth. The cavalry flanked the beast with their lances, while the footmen occupied the attention of the beast with alchemical, magical and ranged attacks. Any attack with a sword was met with the chitinous armour of the Cerberus demon. By lance and mace, the cavalry team cracked through the armour, with the Duke flanking the demon from behind and demolishing one of its hind legs. However, this was not enough as the demon still spewed tremendous amounts of malflame towards the footmen. Radmir Amador, sacrificed himself against the demon, by strapping himself with multiple explosive potions and throwing himself onto the beast's chest, causing its armour to crack and the beast to falter, bringing it to the brink of death. Professor Albus Amador, Wizard of the Blackwell Tower, conjured a tornado to rip the beast to shreds, while the other combatants evacuated the area. As the demon was torn to shreds by the winds, the warriors recovered and treated malflame burns. Then from the mountains, a host of 200 Azdrazi and their allies descended and captured those crusaders who were separated from the main group, then quickly riding away with the captives. The current state of these people is unknown. The Order of St. Jude regrouped and gathered the injured, fleeing to the fortified temple of Brabant, while other individual crusaders scattered. Despite being caught off guard by the demon’s appearance, the Silver Crusade successfully dispatched it with minimal casualties, however, the sudden raid of the Azdrazi, and the sheer amount of their numbers, left the group blindsided. The Silver Crusade will persist in the face of all adversity, for the Canonist Flock. Signed, His Grace, Ser Sterling Blaxton-Whitewood, Duke of Brabant, Marquis of Lotusgrad, Baron of Blackwell, Lilenburg and Swan’s Keep, Lord of the Peaks, Protector of the Weefolk.

ISSUED BY: HOUSE FALKNER ON: 10th Sun’s Smile. 178 S.A The House of Falkner is a Baronial House part of the Azor dynasty, established in the year 1944 I.T. with the union of Odrin Sarkozy Morovar and Camilla von Augusten. The House was founded after the aftermath of the Von Augusten exodus from the United Kingdom of Aaun. The Falkners settled in the nearby Aetherwood, in the Duchy of Brabant; the forest made for an excellent location for the Founder’s skills and interests to flourish, here the House prospers. With their contributions to the Duchy, they gained their Baronial status in the year 1973 I.T The Falkners maintain Waldenian traits, such as a Waldenian accent and the practice of traditional Waldenian livestock rearing, and brewing. Though by ethnicity they are more closely related to Highlanders. Despite hailing from the Azor Dynasty, due to the significant time that has passed since then, the Falkners are distinct in culture and mindset from their ancestors. They prefer a rugged lifestyle, of hunting and relying upon the bounty of nature to meet their needs. In addition to this, the House practices the art of Falconry and Kenneling, as part of its strong hunting tradition. Along with this, the Falkners, due to their knowledge of nature, have developed skills in the practice of herbalism, which has resulted in many Falkners working as potion brewers, medicine makers and medics. The Falkners pay homage to three Saints who most closely symbolise the ideals of the family. ST. AMYAS OF YORE WILD HERB - ❀ Patron Saint of Medicine, Healing, Botany, and Wild Herbs St. Amyas is an obvious patron for the Falkners, giving their skill and craft with herbalism and the medical arts. ST. ARIANNE OF VES OAK TREE - ❈ Patron Saint of Archers, the Forest and Servitude Being forested folk, The members of House Falker have a special place in their hearts for St. Arianne, especially considering most Falkners prefer the bow as their weapon of choice. ST. MICHAEL OF CORDOBE WHITE BULL - ψ Patron Saint of Passion, Exiles, Service and the Eighteen Years’ War St. Michael is the Patron of their parent House, the Von Augustens. To the Falkners St. Michael represents their exodus, and along with St. Arianne, their fealty to their new home.

12th of Javier's Justice, 99 D.R It pleases the crown to announce the coming-of-age of the first of their names, His Highness, Infante Rafael Arsenico and Her Highness, Infanta Renata Alba. It shall all be a grand affair, with allies and friends invited to the celebration of their joint Quinceañera. Themed after “What Lies Beneath the Hyspian Sun”, the forbidden colors to be worn as per tradition are blue and red. LA BAILE DE LOS SOLES The attendees will be welcomed within Hyspias palace, in which the young royals will debut.

Rafael is ready to abuse his power to enforce state mandated botanical gardens. "Hyspia will bloom" The garden tyrant declared.

The Duke of Brabant would pick up the authorless missive and pondered. "Our laws are too broad, we must clarify things to ensure people's rights to a union is met, while distinguishing properly from the Canonist rites. Perhaps I'll ask our priest on how to best handle the situation."
