"I am going to rip apart this abomination of an ancestor." Charles Alstion, the Blood of Horen, stated plainly.

Hovering an array of documents and maps pertaining to the activities of the undesirables, Charles Alstion spoke on to his fellow compatriots, "As they say, a few rotten apples will spoil the whole bunch and my patience with these slaves of Azdromoth has expired. The Pontifex Maximus demands us to purify the land, and so we shall - their refusal to submit to the Almighty God and grant their patron redemption has decided this fate. If they cannot rein in their own subjects, we shall do it for them. The Azdrazy Inquisition commences henceforth, our Kingdom of Aaun shall rid itself of lizardry, root and stem all. Send word to the Grand Inquisitor of our dedication." "Obsequium religiosum." The Prince of the Alstions concludes in the speech of angels.

RENOVATIO REGNUM AAUNICAE AAUN RESTORED, AAUN ASCENDANT Peace be upon you, Long has it been since I last wrote of the machinations of the Aaunite realm, however, with our self determinism now asserted, and these multiple crises we have endured since our establishment now over, a sense of calm has returned to the Heartland of Almaris, allowing me to once more write to you all in such a manner. And what an incredible journey this has been. For when I first laid mine gaze upon the destruction that once was Oren, I saw only ruination. Decades of calamitous warring and ineptitude saw a once resplendent population reduced to a whimpering husk of itself - a nigh insurmountable endeavor to revitalize. Yet despite this, we have indeed done away with these burdens of the past and restored a realm in which families may grow, and hopes become realized. This monumental accomplishment was made possible only by the efforts of our combined citizenry and the august nobility who led them into a better age. Those who toiled the fields, raised homes, and instilled life into these war struck lands, may a thousand blessings find you all. With that, I do hereby publicize that I shall finally be taking the mantle of Kingship in all its semantics. Long have I struggled with the idea of this regal task, for I was not born in the purple as my ancestors were 267 years ago. Prior to mine own ascendance, servitude was my design - first to mine own father, naturally, then to Peter IV of Oren, John I of Balian, and the de Vilains of Acre as both farmer and ranger. My lifely tutelage did not consist of leadership, far from it, though my blood of Prophets and Emperors demand such. It is derived from this that I found myself afflicted with a device endured by all, doubt - an uncertainty that I am befitting of a Crown, Royalty and Kingship; the corruptor of men, and the ultimate prizes of the vain, but where evil lurks in these fabrications, there is also the goodness in leadership, guiding all to a better future, just as our Exalted once led as Kings and Emperors. It is in this holy emulation that the Kingdom of Aaun was declared not with the intention of personal glory, but rather a realm able to withstand the test of such vanity, joined together under consensus now enshrined by the Great Charter, our supreme law and ethos. An ideal which has succeeded through our chaotic nascence. With the Heartlands restored, and New Vienne rehabilitated, and the union remaining strong, I do affirm myself as Charles I, first King of the United Kingdom and Protector of the Realm - a monarch not of divinity, domination, nor inheritance, but rather of the people, raised by them, sustained by them. The Restoration of Aaun is complete; may we now look forth to even greater dreams.

THE GREAT COUNCIL OF VIENNE 10th of Horen’s Calling, 1900 TO OUR RESTORED REALM, With the threats of total war finally cast aside, our United Kingdom may now firmly organize its internal formations and officiate its supreme law, the Charter of Aaun, our Constitution and my relinquishing of absolute authority. Thus, in my capacity as Sovereign popular, I hereby convene the august nobility to Vienne, henceforth forming an assembly of peerage so that they may lead Aaun’s destiny into the future - the Royal Diet, in their affirmation of our Charter. PER VOLUNTATEM AAUNICA, Charles I Alstion, Prince of Alstion, Sovereign of the United Kingdom of Aaun, Duke of Corazon, Protector of the Realm [Sunday, 3est, Vienne]

THE BLACK DRAGON AAUN’S RESPONSE TO THE KING OF HAENSE, The Kingdom of Aaun shall not suffer the calamity known as Cloudbreaker, a beast of its own chaos unwilling to bend to the demands of Horen’s descendants, ravaging the land as it pleases - it shall be made subservient or perish in the struggle. Hence, within the halls of Brandthof, I have once more declared the raising of the Black Dragon, the personal banner of the House of Alstion, the dragonsblood of Horen, and rally to this cause mine own personal expedition to partake in this subjugation. There is no greater glory to an Alstion, than the subduing of our own familial beast. It is agreed that there is no greater unifier of peace and cooperation between our realms of Canondom, than banding together to fight a common foe, our infighting must be turned elsewhere - towards greater threats. Thus, our approval is made known. Mankind's supremacy will be made known to this dragon. VINCIT IMPERAT REGNAT Castle Brandthof, Duchy of Minitz, 7th of Godfrey's Triumph, 1899 IST PER VOLUNTATEM ALSTION, Charles I Alstion, Prince of Alstion, Sovereign of the United Kingdom of Aaun, Duke of Corazon, Protector of the Realm

Charles moves to enact the Winter Contingency

Mya, a Barrow of Ruthern, reminisces on the life that led him to Brelus for a brief second, cut short in an instant by a surging tide of Savoyards washing over the besieged walls of Barrowyck. Whilst Armand de Falstaff wraps an arm around his brother as they fade away from existence, two amigos of Belvitz and Ves. Wayward souls that once found Adria their home, of love and solace.

ROYAL APPOINTMENTS THE SIX OFFICES 10th of Sigismund’s End, 1895 TO OUR RESTORED REALM, With the return of my son, the Crown Prince James Leopold, I have deemed it fit to establish the Alstionite Chancellery to act in my name in our quest for good governance. To best prepare Prince James for his eventual inheritance of our Kingdom, he has been appointed as the Chancellor of the Crownlands, Seneschal of Aaun. @LithiumSedai His Chancellery shall compose of; Prince Emil Caius Alstion, as the Grand Steward of the Office of Restoration, to begin immediately in the reconstruction of our Royal Capital. @gavyn Ser Johann Barclay von Freimark, as the Royal Marshal of the Office of War, to maintain the defence of our realm in coordinance with its nobility. @Frymark Princess Sophia Adeline Alstion, as the Master Almanack of the Office of Rites, to maintain our calendars and revitalise our realm in spirit and population. @Leyrin The Right Honorable Louis de Rosius, as the representative of the Lords of Aaun, to maintain our continued relations and open dialogue with our constituent provinces. @sashimichopped Lady Eleanor Pruvia, as the Privy Seal, a new addendum to the Royal Offices, to maintain our royal archives, documentation, and other letterings. @valecu BY THE WILL OF AAUN, Charles I Alstion, Prince of Alstion, Sovereign of the United Kingdom of Aaun, Duke of Corazon, Protector of the Realm

The Prince of Alstion smiled weakly as he sends his informant away, leaving him to promptly resume his stern contortion as he paces along the walls of Brandthof - was he not doing everything in his powers to ensure peace and stability throughout humanity? Doubt plagued the Prince's mind, was Acre not fully in his right to deal with as sovereign? What would bring these outlanders so far as to dance with the fate of an excommunicant? Yet when it was brought to him that the issue was being pressed nevertheless, what else could there be done? Certainly not allowing another partition of the land of his family, friends, and compatriots, nor be preyed subject to another bout of humiliation. The Prince and Sovereign, however, took solace in the knowing that the Kingdom's subjects were united in this conviction of self-determinism - Aaun will not yet fall.

PAX AETERNA 14th of Owyn’s Flame, 1897 TO OUR KINDRED MAN, As it is so often prone, the history of Man this past century has been beset by no small amount of chaos and instability amidst the Heartlands. Since the corruption and collapse of the Holy Orenian Empire and its short-lived successor, we children of Exalted Horen have found ourselves mired in a ceaseless struggle to return to order and safety for those who wish to inhabit the Heartland realm without fear of reckless ambition and the wars it has bred. Indeed, it is this belief that drives that Kingdom of Aaun. From the bloody fallout of the Sinners’ War, the follies of the Kingdom of Oren, and the decay of the Harvest Confederacy, the men and women who call themselves Aaunic seek naught more than to rebuild their shattered homes, and to live with restored peace and dignity. I, as chosen Prince by the will of the Aaunic lords, shall devote my life and soul to the fulfilment of this dream. Already in our realm’s brief existence, we have faced challenges which made plain the need for the Kingdom of Aaun to break bread with its fellow Man, to lay aside all divisions and differences, to resolve all bickers and misconceptions, and to begin to pave a path to a peaceful and cooperative future. In pursuit of this homeland restored, we seek no expansion, no glory, no treasure. We seek no historical triumphs written in blood, no harkening to the conquests of the past. It is with this in mind that I wish to begin the Kingdom of Aaun’s time of peace with a formal invitation to his Majesty Karl III, King of Hanseti-Ruska, to join me for a private state dinner within Castle Brandhof hosted by the Graf von Minitz, Sir Leon Barclay KRE, upon a date preferred by his court so that we might speak of our shared future as fellow Princes of Canondom, and of continued peace directly. @GMRO IN NOMINE DEI, Charles I of the House of Alstion, Sovereign Prince of the United Kingdom of Aaun, Prince of Alstion, and Duke of Corazon As Host of Minitz, Seine Hochgeboren, Leon Brandt Ritter Barclay von Minitz KRE Ernte Herr, Graf Minitz, Burggraf Tucay, Freiherr Boriënwald, Herr Brandthof und Durres [05/11/2022 3est ?] Thanks to @Xarkly for writing the post while i was at work

King Charles stood with hands fidgeting in some vain attempt to distract himself from the current discomfort, expression clearly unsettled as he was held in wait by the gate of Corwinsburg - clear in wait for a certain individual. His mind abuzz with thoughts; he was never a good father, ultimately, for after all, was it not him who abandoned his children to his divorced wife in Balian? To go off on some selfish undertaking eventually resulting in the formation of his Kingdom. At the time, he had convinced himself his ambitions was in part to create a better future for his family, but it was evidently disproven as he became consumed by his monarchist expectations - would his family simply not have been better off if he had just remained initially present in the raising of his own children? Wedged between duty and familial love. Regardless, the imminent return of his firstborn washed away the doubt that had crept upon his countenance, a sense of fatherly pride now replacing such disturbance. The doors of Corwinsburg swing wide open, and Charles for the first time in many years, smiles a true sun's smile.

"Azor is quite pleasant at this time of the year, isn't it?" A certain Charlie Charles Alstion quipped to his sister within the Minitz tavern, "Think I'll take the carriage to the Alps and pay these fine Azors a visit... Petrans? What's a Petran? Seems like a figment of your imagination, Sophia. I only know the Azors of Aaun, those who wont be cowed by petty threats or Novellen wiles."

ROYAL LETTERS OF THE COUNTY OF VELETZIA 10th of Sigismund’s End, 1896 TO OUR RESTORED REALM, It pleases the Crown of Aaun to recognize Our leal subject, Heinrik of the House of Sarkozic, as a great servant to the United Kingdom and a protector of the Royal House. Their efforts in the restoring of our Realm has not gone unoticed. As such, the Crown of Aaun, with the prerogative vested upon us by Our people, enfeoff the Lord Sarkozic with the County of Valetzia, to hold and pass onto his legitimate heirs forevermore. He is charged with preserving law and order within his holdings, upholding the rule of the reigning regnant, serving the Crown of Aaun dutifully, and raising his sword in defense of the Kingdom, primarily in the region of Lower Petra. In return, and as a sign of Our gratitude, We do privilege their head to administer their land as they see fit in accordance with established expectations. BY THE WILL OF AAUN, HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS, Charles I Alstion, Prince of Alstion, Sovereign of the United Kingdom of Aaun, Duke of Corazon, Protector of the Realm

Edict of the Five Offices 13th of Harren’s Folly, 1896 IST The Five: Structure and Organization The Five serve as the provisional bodies of Crown governance until the establishment of the Royal Charter of Aaun, in which, as per the Crown’s deliberation, may be expanded upon to better fit the needs of a burgeoning realm. The Five remain reserved to the governance of the Crownlands primarily, and cooperate with the Provinces in regards to any of their relevant operations. Ultimately, the Five operate only with the authority bestowed upon them by delegation of the Crown’s authority, and thus serve at the dictate of the Crown solely. The Five shall hence be dubbed the ‘executive authorities’ and have been granted control of their governance to do so at the best of their capabilities and own initiatives. A Council consisting of the United Kingdom’s nobility shall remain as an advisory body to the Crown. Thus dividing the advisory into two classes, the Noble Council and the Five Offices - along with whatever auxiliaries requested by the Crown. Office of the Seneschal The Officer of the Seneschal is charged with the administration of the United Kingdom’s treasury and is granted the courtesy title ‘Chancellor of the Crownlands’. As the highest office of the Crown’s delegation of authority, they have become the Crown’s chief executive, and have been granted the right to act as the Crown would in totality. They shall, in this high authority, be the guiding hand for the rest of the offices to ensure collective success. Office of Rites The Officer of Rites, bearing the courtesy title ‘Master Almanac’, is chiefly responsible for the maintenance of the United Kingdom’s liturgical and secular calendars, as well as initiatives directing the revitalization of the Heartlands by way of royal and provincial programs - festivities, cultural affairs, tourneys, and so on. Office of War The Officer of War will bear the courtesy title ‘Royal Marshal’, and is charged with the defence of the United Kingdom’s royal territories in conjunction with the provincial nobility. Given the immediate lack of a Crownland army, the Office of War shall be tasked primarily with the assessment of the United Kingdom’s military capabilities as a whole, and will arrange the coordination of its forces in regards to wartime procurement of equipment. Office of Restoration The Officer of Restoration, bearing the courtesy title of ‘Grand Steward’, is responsible for the reestablishment of the Royal Capital foremost, and its subsequent revenue, which for now will remain the Ruined City of Vienne until otherwise. They shall then take upon the duties of that customary of a Grand Mayor, and administrate the Royal Capital as the Crown sees fit. Office of the Peers The Office of the Peers, bearing the courtesy title of ‘Lord Representative’, shall be tasked with representation of the United Kingdom’s peerage in direct communication with the Crown, ascertaining the evolving statuses of the provinces, and coordinate with its nobilities to best foster prosperity throughout the whole of the Kingdom. ============================= Archbishop of Albarosa Whilst the Church of the Canon remains the stewards of our spirituality, shunning aside the affairs of secularity, it cannot be dismissed that both aspects affect the others heavily. What cannot be tolerated is the supremacy of secularism over that of the spiritual, and thus, the Archbishop of Albarosa has been requested to maintain a part in the overseeing of the Kingdom’s executive affairs to best ensure that the Church’s agenda is not disrupted in any way by the decisions made by the Crown. IN NOMINE DEI, Prince of Alstion, Sovereign of Aaun, Charles Alstion

Charlie makes this face when he realizes his friend was forced to bend to the whims of his increasingly aging father who can no longer see friends from foe.

A certain Alstion peeked his head out from behind a mound of documents piling on his desk upon being informed of the latest decree of the Pontificate, "Wuh?" The Prince goes, as he does when taken aback by surprise.

PIETY AND PENANCE TO HIS HOLINESS, PONTIAN IV Our Kingdom of Aaun remains war-torn, spiraling once more into a new generation of strife. The once prosperous heartlands of Humanity forever scarred and changed. It has been in this environment that I have been accepting all of those pledging their arms to our cause, one specifically, Gawain Wick, or otherwise known as Siegmund Wick. In my quickened naivety, I made no further inspections of its character, instead utilizing its uncanny ability to reshape ruins into shape - which should have been a first telling factor in any potential suspicions. Its true self remained hidden, it seems, by way of heavy clothing and armor, as well as incense to dispel his presumed stench. Who am I to deny assistance, when offered in trying times? For it seems even the Barony of Acre, who claims us to be inhibitors of evil, employs the dark forces themselves with full knowledge of such - as evident of its defense of de Vilain bridge a month ago. Further, we do reject the claims of the Baron de Vilain, that this undead Wick was that of the Nauzicans, no matter what may have been found, or planted, on its rotting corpse. A guard it was at time, but not of my familial Brigade, for we Nauzicans hold no measures of identification under my reign. It has become, with the retirement of the Lectorate, and the exodus of clergy from that of the Heartland, that the Kingdom of Aaun lays bare to wiles of the undead, who prey on the discordance and death inflicted upon our land. Thus leading to their infiltration to this day. Hence, I do prostrate myself to the will of the Holy Mother Church, and most desirably request the intervention of the holy inquisitors to ensure able testing of my population to root out the darkspawn of Iblees - for it is the Prophet Owyn that the Kingdom of Aaun emulates, for Aaun was once His Kingdom, which he purified of apostasy. In this failure to properly maintain the purity of my realm, I do most humbly request penance by whatever means, so that I may cleanse myself of my failings, and become a stronger man capable of warding away such despicable abominations. Let the Flame of Owyn burn away the corruption plaguing our land. “The Aengul dipped the horn into the waters of the Grotto of Gamesh and poured them onto Horen’s brow. And the Aengul said ‘Here, I cleanse you. And you join GOD’s servants.’” Gospel 3:35-36 Castle Brandhof, Grafschaft of Minitz, 12th of Horen's Calling, 1896 IST IN NOMINEI DEI, Charles Alstion @Balthasar
