An Addition of Two The birth of the Verskaya Heir and their Twin ISSUED ON THE 22nd of The Deep Cold, 161 SA VA BIRODEO HERZENAV AG EDLERVIK, Despite the current turmoil our people suffer at the hands of the enemy, House Godunov has seen their recent union with House Amador to be joyful and fruitful. It is with immense delight and pleasure that we announce not only the House Heir, but their twin, as well. With both the Baron and the Baroness-Consort a twin themselves, it was with no surprise that their children received the same blessings. And so, we introduce, Her Ladyship, CAMELLIA ANOVNA LIRIDONA GODUNOV And her twin brother His Lordship, ALEKSEY ANOVICH HENRIK GODUNOV In keeping with both family traditions, the children are to receive two distinct middle names. The first creates ties to the children's father, using an altered spelling of his name for each gender. The second, an Amador tradition, bestows each child with an ancestor’s name. Both the children and their mother are said to be in good health. May the heir to Verskaya and her brother be guided with the same virtues as their families, and may they dedicate themselves to the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska. Signed, His Lordship, Anatoliy Ilya Alyovich Godunov, Baron of Verskaya. Her Ladyship, Poppy Sosina Godunov, Baroness-Consort of Verskaya.

"For Balian ag for mea Queen," Poppiya chanted under her breath, "we will fight by vyr side."

"FINALLY," cheered the newly wed Poppiya to her husband, Anatoliy @Caedis. "Mea Godan- ea thought it would ne ever happen."

Poppiya lamented the loss of a King she had not had the chance to know. Wandering through the Palace grounds- she sought to comfort her best friend, and now Queen, throughout this tragic loss and tough new life she must now lead. @HIGH_FIRE

1350 A.H. - Present ─── From Ashes, We Rise EST 143 E.S. - Present | 1590 A.H. - Present ⋅ ───⊱༺⠀☨⠀༻⊰─── ⋅ 4th of The Amber Cold, | 159 SA ⋅ ───────────────⊱༺⠀I⠀༻⊰─────────────── ⋅ Another day of snow fell, blanketing the streets of Valdev. From within the tower of the Amador house, an aged woman peered out into the streets. She could no longer recall the days where her son had run wild- keen to earn his knighthood or to make friends. She could not recall the events of their temporary home within Failor, and worst of all, she struggled to recall even the most recent days and weeks past. With a furrowed brow, she took pen to paper, and settled herself within the corner of the tower. My child, my heart, in this fading light, I pen these words, a farewell so slight. Not in sorrow’s shroud or despair’s dismay, But a gentle nod to the end of the day. As petals fall from the bloom of time. Know love endures, transcending the climb. In the tapestry of moments we’ve spun, A legacy lingers when my song is done. Embrace the stars, let their brilliance guide, In the cosmos' arms, I will peacefully bide. For life’s brief candle may flicker and wane, Yet love’s eternal, an undying refrain. Sterling, my cherished one, as I take my flight, Hold the echoes of our laughter, so bright. For in the cadence of our shared lullaby, I’ll rest in peace, beneath the endless sky. A wave of calm washed over the aged Amador as she wrote her final few words. A peace she had not felt before- as though she had completed everything she needed. With one final struggle, she rose to her feet and ambled down to her room. Where she laid her poem down upon the table- and clambered into bed, to sleep for the final time. Emiliya Amador, mother to Sterling Percy Whitewood. 83 SA - 159 SA [!] Alongside the poem was another letter, of struggled font, indicative perhaps that it was written close to the woman's passing. “To my Amador kin. I have organised my few personal items to be delivered to those who will receive them, along with a few letters to be handed out. What remains of my belongings- the house may do as they please with them. I am proud of each and every one of you. Nataliya would be proud of her children, as I am proud of my own. Your Aedymamej, Emiliya.”

Poppy hadn't had chance to make another gift. Guess only the heir got one.

Reading the missive her family had recieved, Poppiya looked it over in disbelief. "Did ea miss a chaper?" she asked toward her brother, Henrik @critter, "in the same day vy have disowned one, ag now the one disowned has invited us to..-" Pausing, she read over the letter again, "-join Veletz? Has this war sent people mad?"

1350 A.H. - Present ─── From Ashes, We Rise EST 143 E.S. - Present | 1590 A.H. - Present ⋅ ───⊱༺⠀☨⠀༻⊰─── ⋅ 21st of Malin’s Welcome | 157 SA ⋅ ───────────────⊱༺⠀I⠀༻⊰─────────────── ⋅ VA EDLERVIK, We as humanity are known for our love of colourful gowns, opulent jewels and regal suits. Each individual likely has their own personal collection tailored by themselves or another. House Amador is no exception- we are proud to boast our several expert tailors, as are we proud to extend that further to our Colborn cousins. However, it occurred to me that I have seen far and few written works pertaining to tailoring. Guides on stitching, on fabrics, on fashion history. These works are limited in terms of the written hand, and I do not recall coming across a single book in my time. While missives on history are available, they are difficult to obtain for personal use. And so, I ask those who are skilled in the arts of sewing, knitting, leather craft and so on- to create written works to share or sell. I will be willing to purchase a copy of any quality work to then offer and sell on to others, should the individual be uninterested in merchanting their works. If you are interested in such an offer, please send a bird to Balian or Haense, for the attention of Poppiya Sosina Amador (lirinya). Lady Poppiya Sosina Amador, Curador of Il Courta Cometa, Owner of the Phoenix Fleeces.

Entre l'èxit i el fracàs - Between Success and Failure ⋅ ───⊱༺☨༻⊰─── ⋅ [Link] ⋅ ───⊱༺☨༻⊰─── ⋅ In the realm of Balian, where courage is born, A clash with Stassion, a battle to mourn. A war rages ons, a tale untold, In the echoes of history, new chapters unfold. Brave Balian’s banners flutter, proud and high, A beautiful kingdom, united beneath azure sky. Our warriors emboldened with hearts of flame, For In the crucible of conflict, they etch their name. The battlefield tramples, a canvas for strife, Where the dance of war dictates the rhythm of life. Balian’s sons and daughters, a resilient might, Stand against Stassion, under God’s divine light. “In Hoc Signio Vinces” - Balian’s Call, United they stand - Their enemies will fall. Against Stassion’s whispers, a most venomous tale, The forces of Balian will always prevail. And so the war rages on, throughout night and day, Balian and Stassion clashed within the fray. Yet in that moment of conflict - where stories are spun, Our heroic tales of victory have only just begun. ⋅ ───⊱༺☨༻⊰─── ⋅ Credits to @Caedisand @HIGH_FIRE for all of their help.

Poppiya was ready to fight alongside her Queen and kin.

Poppiya threw a pursefull of minae at her Balian friends.

The elder sister awoke from her otherwise peaceful slumber to the echoes of Theo's sobs through the walls. She spent her morning lingering- waiting for her sister to wake so that she might sit with her, comfort her, and tell her how people could be cruel. "Vy are ne any more ugly than vy were before," Poppy spoke softly in jest, "do ne let this hurt vyr confidence. Vy are strong, Teddy."

The missive of the birth made it to Haense, and ultimately, to Mondstadt. Poppy read it over- and over, and over again. Then, she realized it was about time she mustered the courage to re-visit Balian, and to seek out her friend.

As time and situations progress, the Lady now finds herself stationed within Balian for half of her time. And as such, wishes to extend her craft to the citizens. Situated in the prime location of Anne's Avenue 1 - the store boasts a display of gowns and garb, both for sale and for display, as well as traditional Kokoshnik head dresses of Haense, trinkets, jewels and more. A collection of clothing, head dresses and more on offer, Anne's Avenue 1 Lady Poppiya Sosina Amador, Craftswoman of the White Cross Trading Co.

Poppy prepaired to make lil toys for the babies.

"Met 'er ah few times, ti? Seemed like ah nice enough girl- Did ne really give of th' air of bein' power 'ungry. Maybe am ne in tune wit' th' valah world, though," replied the elfess with a frown.

Tee makes good (amazing 11/10) skins and plays a pretty decent (110/10 great relative) cousin. Well deserved.

A confused Poppiya read over the Amadors invite. Luckily, she'd be able to attend, though.

"Godan guide him. He does seem to be the most rational of the siblings.. the less.. angry or odd."

On a visit to Petra, perhaps to try and catch the Temesch in conversation, Poppiya came to read the missive. "How.. bizzare," she muttered to no one in particular, "at least Henrik will be able to sleep easy now." Then- she went back home, to Valdev and drew conclusion to this chapter in her life.

North, South, East and West auction houses. Make people travel a bit, but still have the option for AH there.
