Eirene Linh Vuiller wondered as she stared at the missive, if there would be someone cursed as a vampyr along the peers of Balian, she shook her head solemnly not wanting to know of any more deaths, praying that if there was, they would agree to be healed.

[Issued in circa 1947]

The Death of an Heiress

“Nullum Magnum Opus Sine Magna Ambitione Venit”

The House of Roa announces, with deep condolences the solemn passing of its esteemed heir, Firentia Ivonne Roa. She was a woman of unparalleled dedication, tirelessly laboring to elevate the House to newfound heights, unwaveringly committed to surpassing the legacy was going to inherit.

Regrettably for the grieving family, she peacefully departed in her slumber during the tranquil embrace of the night, her presence discovered on this very day, as a faithful servant arrived with her customary morning tea.

We ask for a mourning period of three years to pay their respects to the passed Heiress of the family, a lovely and kind soul who strayed to not only help her family, but her friends and people she had no relations to praying for her soul to be closer to GOD in the seven skies

Ferdinand interlocks his fingers and stretches both arms forward, with the palms facing out. 'Ohhh... now he has gone und done it. und now Ich have to School zhis homie.' 

"Although the craft of penmanship and logical retort are well enjoyed, im sure, by both of our persons, I should refrain from such deep discourse with a correspondent so very far away. Therefore, to your claim I will give fact, to clarify the misconceptions which you have sadly developed by close proximity to liars, or avoidance of diligent investigation. Nevertheless, to ensure that you never embarrass yourself in such ways again, I encourage you to realize what facts have been kept from you, and in future; feed your curiosity with investigation instead of rumor.

To the charge of Treason, I ask you to provide proof of what things we have done, past serving the councils and citizenry of the state since its founding.

You may be implying to reference our leaving, which, addressed in my own response to the Aaunian King's similar outreach. Though if you are not one for long whinded missives and retorts; I simply remind you that lieges which do not perform their duties lose the right to command their vassals. Just like how vassals who do the same have their status revoked. And if you disagree, I beg of you to list every liege and lord you have sworn oath to, so that we may compare which of us has a deeper history of abandoning lieges... if it is the case, that you define that 'treason'.

 
To the charge of Darkspawn, and our treatment of the guilty, I give you a reminder of history, which, in your lack of investigation, you overlooked:   

Regarding the Latter 2, 'Amadea Von Augusten' is not a woman well-known to me, having been in the same room on few occasions. But her credibility as human can only be denied by the writ or declaration of The Church or that citizen's Sovereign. If you have evidence of this which I do not, put me to shame and show it, as I said before. And make me to regret my words.
Further regarding  'Monika Von Augusten', who was tested for vampirism only last night, her credibility has been multiple-times questioned and proven true.

[!] Attatched Proofs

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

I will ignore the 'rat' comment, giving you the benefit of the doubt. For how could someone with little value for truth posess so much knowledge of it?
 

I, briefly as a canonist brother. Will applaud your denouncement of a darkspawn who was confirmed in his evil. We agree on this, that vampirism is a plague. Therefore, with truth said, and misconception done away with, let us continue this discourse, and dispel any yet-remaining thought of ill-heart which you presume my House to have.
I call you to meet with myself, or a council of Augustens chosen by my House Head, if he is so willing.
There, we may share between eachother, canonist brothers, the utmost truth, supported with fact, word and signature from many men of every rank.
 

What has influenced your House to join this farse of a petty crusade against House von Augusten paints you in a bad light, for the only ones left who are still bringing word of evil and hatred against our people are those who have been instructed to do so by one malicious force or another, perhaps, I would suggest in your case, a desire for popularity and appreciation from those who consider your Household their Puppet.


Do see sense.
Humble yourself.



-Signed, Ferdinand von Augusten

Gregorius Roa blinked at the missive, simply thinking if he should respond with Aaun's own missive branding them as traitors to the crown, but then prefering to take a more thoughtful and polite way of acting

"As to answer to the 'proof' you need for the charges of treason, rather than my own words, I am just going to pen a missive, made by Aaun's crown and no one else ratifying that House Augusten, more so the Former Count of Hohengarten is branded a traitor, he might not have caused direct treason by harming the King of Aaun, but rather ensuring a period of instability amongst Aaun and the Vassals.

I will say that although your response to such a missive was great, it lacked something, if a liege is pressuring its vassal to do something, should not that faithful vassal follow? if Aaun's government was pressuring you from before to help with the investigations, should not you have helped with them? if Aaun was asking for you to get tested for vampyrism, should not you have simply taken the test? 
It seems that even if the tests were not going to kill any of you, you were scared of them.
I might be making assumptions, but if you were so scared of doing something so easy, and not harmful, it must have been for a reason.

I will say something to illustrate your mind, cures for vampyrism can be made, thankfully it can help those infected get cured and get back into GOD's.
If you know what I am implying by this, very well, you have a good mind! if you do not, worry not, I will clear this whole thing for you, your kin, those who might have been vampyrs, hearing upon Petra testing them, would get cured, and then, after such suspicious wore down, become vampyrs again, it is possible, did you know that?

And I dont say this to… disrespect on Petra, but I do know that Xavier Adiler and Ponce Adiler, known to be Vampyrs at the time, got to Petra and suddenly, after a few days, they were not vampyrs! do you perhaps see a trend here?

And you require me to list all the lieges I have served, perfect, so will I.
The first liege I served by Oath was Jarad Munnel, he, due to severe sickness, had to pass on Helious' throne to Ember Munnel, which I did not swear an oath to, and was relieved, such as all of Helious' nobility, of any and all oaths to Helious.
Then after, I went to the Grand Principality of Aeltarys, swearing an oath to Maegor I, which I still serve as of this moment

Hope that clarifies your doubts on whom I had served, and if I had left any oaths as of previous!
 

Honestly seeing this missive has made me smile a little, but we cannot ignore the fact that even though he was disowned, he was incarcerated at the time, and SOMEHOW he broke out of prison, which… from a person who has been in such places twice, I can say is not an easy task to do without help, and considering the fact that you yourself said that all of Aaun's people hated the Von Augustens, more so Ottomar for his countless crimes.
He must have gotten some help to get out of such a place, conssidering that Aaun's people did not help him, do you perhaps not think he was helped by his own kin? hm?

To answer to your defense of 'Monika Von Augusten' I will say something, it is quite simple for one to lie, I could simply say that I hail from the Kingdom of Balian, and although that might be able to be proven wrong, it will take a long time to find out the truth, for such how can we say that her words or testimony, is truthful, how can we really say that she is not lying to everyone? do you REALLY have a certain proof she has not sneaked out of wherever she is to meet with vampyrs? 

We shall not forget that as many signatures of important people you may have, so do I proving that wrong, perhaps you have not read the missive made by Johan and quite the lot of more people, for such, I shall quote it in this letter 'Monika Von Augusten sister of Ottomar, caught aiding and abetting vampyrs, was present with Amadea at Ottomar's turning' and for what you say about 'Amadea Von Augusten' here is your evidence 'Amadea Von Augusten mother of Ottomar and wife to Konstantin, confirmed Vampyr' funnily enough, that missive is signed by one of the people you quoted for evidence against my words!

If you agree that vampyrism is a plague, how could you still stand besides them all happy and defending them, even knowing that their defenders turned their backs against them because of the proof they got?

And as for the meeting, I shall accept it, we will reunite in Balian, neutral land for you and me, to further discuss this topic if you are willing to do so, I do not wish to meet with any other Augustens, knowing that some have quite the lot of aggressive tendencies.

Sadly for you I have not been instructed to do such thing by no one, I have just seen the proof presented to me, analized what your leaders have done in the past, and decided to act about it, as you have given me the benefit of the doubt upon my words, I shall give you the benefit of the doubt, that you are not informed enough and think my actions are ruled by others
My actions are only ruled by GOD, my liege, and myself.

The only connection between the families is that the father of his first wife (whom he divorced) was Cosima's first cousin. She was a bastard of the cousin at that. If we are calling the children relatives, then I should reach out to ten other families that have more familial connection then the Roa.

Harrald's vuiller post was pretty cool, IRP with direct connections to another IRP family cutting off ties from each other. Okay cool roleplay.
I like it.

However, the Vuiller head.... on another character who has little to no connection to the alleged vampire family makes a similar declaration... that's ooc grudge or something. Kinda cringe ngl

Was enjoying reading the forum drama but this post aint it.

 

Yea I get it was… quite uh… fucky to write it as I am the Vuiller matriarch and shits, but yea we did have connection with them, and irply speaking we want to side with Vuillers and iirc I mention it a bit in the post!
As well as, my char is very ******* against darkspawn cause he literally lost everything due to one of them, which was a no no from him, and he is connected to House Von Augusten (4 of his children, and the current Heir are related to them by blood :P)

Ferdinand von Augusten wonders at the source of such a missive, sending a letter to this famed 'Gregorius', he pens;

"It comes as a surprise to myself, that you take this time to issue such a missive. Even further, I struggle to conjure what grievances you have against the House of von Augusten; for as far as my relatives have told, our houses have not had much association ever since The House Roa took residence in Urguan during the time of Almaris.

You have not named the acts we have done to cause you issue,
you have not justified these claims with evidence of any kind.

Further, what sort of prudent man formally cuts all ties with a far distant House, without so much as a diplomatic outreach? A letter of some kind... maybe.

Though, if you will ignore my above ramblings I should get to the heart of my correspondence. I have a warning for you: Making impactful decisions for your kin and name, based on the whims of other men, is no way to earn glory. I sense that this letter did not come into being by your independent wish and passion. And if I am wrong, put me to shame, and reveal to all (the same to which this missive is shown), what insult you take to the name Von Augusten." -+- "and do be tactful - grater men have tried and failed to achieve your object."

-Signed
Ferdinand von Augusten.

Gregorius Roa read the letter, applauding House Von Augusten for the first time in a while for raising such a polite person, he then writes a letter back to Ferdinand Von Augusten

"It is a pleasure to receive a letter that does not harbor ill intent, but rather curiosity, more so from someone of your family, the grievances are simple, I have known that Cosima, may her soul rest in peace, has used the name of several other Houses which… at the time, and right now, I see they really held no connection to, asides from that, being Vampyrs and committing treason are quite severe crimes.

To be honest I do not really know what caused your kin to do such things, if you wished to illustrate me with such I would always write back to you.
But, having those things in mind, how would I, trying to maintain my reputation as a cannonist, and as a friend of House Vuiller since several years ago, stay neutral knowing such a things? would you stay besides another House knowing they betrayed their HOMELAND, and became DARKSPAWN, sinning not only against GOD but their Crown?

Rambling or not, it is all what you want to ask, and what confuses you, I, as such, need to clarify your doubts.
Although this letter took a while more to be finished, it was indeed by my own heart and passion that I wrote it, I know the Vuiller's letter came out first, and it seems as if I had plagiarized them, but this was in the planning since the previous Heir of Von Augusten 'Ottomar Von Augusten', the Matriarch of House Von Augusten 'Amadea Von Augusten' along with 'Monika Von Augusten' were all proved Vampyrs, to which your House did not respond by disowning them.

They rather kept silent like rats, not even disowning Ottomar, who at the moment had been called to trial and incarcerated for several crimes? 

And if you ask 'Have you done something like this previously, or is this the first time?' yes, I have done it with another House which had been proven a Darkspawn, which we held an alliance with, letting it all go for they became darkspawn and commited crimes against their Crown

[!] A missive was sent in the same letter, presumably being the proof of such acts 

[Issued in Circa 1947]

Cutting all ties

“Nullum Magnum Opus Sine Magna Ambitione Venit”

Throughout this entire endeavor, our original intent was to maintain a stance of unwavering neutrality with regards to the  Von Augusten House. However, regrettably, the current circumstances have rendered it wholly untenable for us to continue averting our gaze from the actions of the Von Augusten House.

A series of transgressions have transpired, and while we earnestly hope that you were not the architect of these misdeeds, we cannot condone any association with a House that has been embroiled in such matters. Furthermore, we are cognizant of your prior assertions of 'ties' with Houses that bore no genuine affiliation with your own. This, regrettably, has cast doubt upon our willingness to maintain any connection with your House.

Henceforth, we hereby sever all ties, to those who not only have strayed from GOD, neglected his teachings values but also turned their backs on human kind.And as of today, we renounce any recognition of your House as our ally kindred, House Von Augusten, We hold hope that you may seek redemption, but it shall not be in our company, for we aspire to maintain our purity untarnished by any association with you.

The Count chuckled in his manor of Helious after reading the letter "Im not that old Daniel" Gregorius laughed at his own words as a tear dripped from his cheek onto the floor "******* hell… why do they leave…" he said, burying his face into his hands, dropping the letter into his desk in the process.
After some time, when he stopped lamenting his friend's death, he signed a lorraine "Hopefully it will be in a long time when we see each other… and **** you for not joining Roa" he said with a smile as he looked up to the skies

Eirene Linh Vuiller nodded at the missive "Well this was to be expected… Von Augustens… vampyres, only vampyres" the Countess shook her head after her son handed her the missive "Who might possibly be dumb enough to accept you?" she hummed for a second, knowing which nation was going to accept them, she saved this missive on her desk after she got to her quarters

A certain Count somewhere in Aevos hummed, eyeing the missive and scanning its contents "How could this have happened?!" he said in pure and utter surprise before remembering something "Oh yes! that's right, now it all makes sense" the Count cackled as he remembered previous experiences with the Von Augustens "Well… who should we side with?" he hummed in his chambers, shrugging "It is decided" he said, taking a quill and paper to write something

Gregorius Roa sighed after hearing about Cosima's death, although they were never close after the incidents, he still felt bad about her death "I hope that you rest well, Cosima" he said to himself before signing a Lorraine for her soul's rest and sending some letters to comfort some of her family members

Countess Eirene Linh Vuiller scoffed at the missive "Settle elsewhere…? I doubt that with the reputation you have as of now many will accept you" she said in her chambers within the keep of Aquilae in Balian before signing a Lorraine "May GOD pardon your family's sins if he deems you worth of it…"

Countess Eirene Linh Vuiller gasps at the missive, not fully knowing if she should get close to the Von Augustens, or if she should allow her children to see them, fearful they might be turned forcibly into vampyres if they interacted for enough time

She is mah student yes!

Gregorius Roa, Count of Fulmen smiles at the missive in Captain rank, soon after storing the missive in his desk

Gregorius Roa stared at the missive, knowing far too well he wouldn't be able to say 'Oi Maegor' in Court no more… he would have to refer to him as 'Your Highness' he placed the missive back into the desk in his keep, shedding a few tears of sadness and sorrow

Gregorius Roa smiles at the progress of the Grand Principality of Aeltarys, hoping for a better future for this relatively new nation as he sees the paintings of such a great nation

Gregorius Roa lamented the death of the mother of his children, although he did know they did not love her back, he still felt as if that relations could have been mended with time "Ilaria…" He sighed deeply to the one that painted him as a criminal, he knew he had nothing to do with the 'Ludwig Affair', yet he knew that it would have been right to take the children away if he was really a criminal.

He decided to send a letter to his Ex-step-daughter, Nicolette Amador, whom maybe did not remember him, but he ought to try and ease her pain a little

Well, I should have posted this yesterday… but life happened and I wasnt able to, so I post it today, it's been a year already in this server… and damn
From what I remember I have more than 1500 hours all along my personas, and have done a lot of good and bad memories along the way, but its mostly good ones, I have made friends, a lot to say, so well, if any of you wants to ask anything, please do!

Eirene Linh Vuiller shed off tears for the death of another Vuiller, she prayed for her soul to ascend to the seven skies peacefully and promised herself to bring her children to her grave when she were able to walk normally

Gregorius Roa gets the missive, crossing the day in his calendar so hopefully he could assist the wedding, he went to grab some Imperial Porter off his storage to celebrate the occasion "May this be a lifelong union" he said before taking a shot of the beer

Full Name of Man - John MacFergus Sutharlainn

Date of Birth of Man - 1912

Full Name of Woman - Viola Roa
Date of Birth of Woman - 1909

Location of Ceremony - Balian's church

Date of Ceremony (Year) - 1939
Name of Clergyman who performed ceremony - Father Matthias Barclay

Gregorius Roa hummed as he received the missive "Hm… perhaps I should go" he nodded lightly, stashing the missive in his office's desk in the County of Lumia

Song for the moment.

Gregorius Roa took a stroll around the Principality of Helious, simply to relax, he had thought of when his children would meet Reeve, about how would be a good way to introduce them to him, he knew Reeve didn't have much time to live for already, he knew he was soon to die.

Yet; He hoped his good friend, his previous Tribesman could meet his family.

But it was to no avail, as he walked through the streets of Helious, besides a tree, he found a corpse, he had seen some that same day, he thought it could be someone else, but the figure looked too much like Reeve, he didn't believe it, he couldn't believe that his friend had already died even before he introduced his family to him.
He examined the corpse, revealing it was Reeve and no other “Friend…” he said solemnly, closing Reeve’s eyes as he shedded a tear “Rest well” he said to Reeve’s corpse as he patted his friend’s chest, revealing the letter that he wrote, deciding to read it after he transported Reeve’s dead corpse to the crypt in his manor, where he had promised to bury him previously.

Now they were all together, the founders of the tribe, except for Valens

“Nullum Magnum Opus Sine Magna Ambitione Venit” The old man chanted the Motto of the Roa tribe, as well as the Roa family’s, as he buried his friend’s cold corpse in the crypts of his manor in Helious.

Gregorius Roa went upstairs to keep a promise he did to himself, opening a bottle of alcohol he had stored for when Reeve visited him and his family, he opened the bottle and poured some of it in Reeve’s final resting ground, drinking the last of it in one go.
