A lot of mental gymnastics went into this to avoid asking the community if Renatus should be allowed to keep their fort. Impressive.

The Nordengrad Imperialization Act Est anno Domini 1690 The title of Nordengrad still left a sour taste in the mouth of many, yet it was now once more bountiful land within the Emperor's holding. Thus, the Nordengrad Imperialization Act has been put in place to once more put this land, which is a vital settlement to remain presence in the North, to good use. Potential suitors to hand Nordengrad to were audited and no better option was found other than His Grace, Demetrius var Ruthern. A long serving and loyal Duke to the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska who would then subsequently pass it on to the deserving House of Mournstone - a house who proved to be a great asset in the funding of Our Imperial Crown during the hard fought rebellion against the pretender King. Therefore, from the publication of this act Lady Valencia of the House of Mournstone shall serve as the Countess of Nordengrad and it’s sole ruler. The Terms, agreed upon by both nations, are as followed: In the event that the Earldom of Nordengrad claims itself as independent or begins to make it’s way down the road of rebellion against the Empire of Man, then the de facto leadership shall be stripped and the title of Earldom of Nordengrad, and all the rights that come with it, then will be given to the Lord-Patriarch of House Ruthern. In the event that, after the aforementioned title stripping at appointing to the Lord-Patriarch of House Ruthern, if the Ruthern Lord begins to make it’s way down the road of rebellion against the Empire of Man, then the de facto leadership shall be stripped of the title of Earldom of Nordengrad and all the rights that come with it, then will be given to the Lord-Patriarch of House Barbanov. To cement the land back under Imperial control the House of Mournstone will be expected to erect a church, or place of worship, to the canonist faith within or near to the newly granted lands. It is acknowledged that the worship of the Red Faith may continue within Nordengrad alongside the Canonist faith and the preaching of the Red Faith will remain confined within the lands of the Earldom. HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, Robert I Bihar, King of Hanseti-Ruska HIS IMPERIAL HIGHNESS, Augustus Horen, Crown Prince of the Imperium Septimus HIS GRACE, Demetrius var Ruthern, Duke of Vidaus HER LADYSHIP, Valencia Mournstone, Countess of Nordengrad

Treasonous Transgressions The Norlandic people have grown familiar with the yoke of Horen. Four score and hundreds year past, We have continuously benefited your line. Under our protection, the Nordenfolk have grown, prospered, and eventually, festered. We have enfeoffed your peoples with mercy and grace. Only treason has been returned. The only answer is fire and steel. Your ships were sunk at the Battle of Dogger’s Bay. The Krag was shattered atop the mountainous peaks. Ruriksgrad was laid to waste. No longer. The line of Horen will no longer allow the Norlandic people to rise as they have, recovering in meager number to once again bear treachery. The following are the crimes committed by the Earl and his Military leadership of Nordengrad: The breaking of the Emperor’s peace in assaulting the city of Markev, the killing of Haensetic soldiers, and the murder of Her officials. The refusal of yielding to Imperials officials and subsequent aggression. The demand of the Earl of Nordengrad to Kairn Ithelanen’s neutrality in his rebellion against the Empire. We, the Crown, give this final ultimatum to Nordengrad: You are ordered to immediately surrender the Earl of Nordengrad and his military commanders, so that they may face justice within the Imperial Capital. You are to immediately surrender all castles and keeps within the Earldom to the Imperial Legion. Failure to comply with these conditions will result in absolute and open rebellion to the Empire. Vested in power as King of Norland, We the Crown release all clans from their oaths to the Earl of Nordengrad. All who stay in peace in Nordengrad shall be spared; those who swear fealty to the Crown shall be spared. The hour has fallen. Let all true men declare their loyalty. Until you accept or deny this final ultimatum, it is war. Discord: Ricky#6002 and JuliusAakerlund#0658
