Somewhere, an old, grizzled Knight of House Carrion lives peacefully along some foreign beach. His red tabard and pulsing long-sword hang beneath a pristine black Crow, which sits on a field of red, black and yellow.

Issued and Confirmed by the Privy Council of Oren As is decreed by His Grace, King Olivier of House Ashford and his Excellency Vasili Vanir, the Protectorate of Haelun'or is hereby in a state of Martial Law. All elections shall be put on hold until further notice, and the State shall be host to a National Guard force consisting of Orenian Army Regulars, until the King and Lord Marshal deem the situation to be under control.

Issued and Confirmed by His Majesty, King Olivier of House Ashford In times of internal strife, it is up to the Lord Marshal to reinstate order where the Lord Justicar cannot, in order to ensure the stability of the Kingdom. Several residents of Praedium are hereby charged with disturbing the peace, plotting treason against the Reformed Kingdom, and provocation of internal strife within the Duchy of Akovia. Thus, on this day, the 12th of the First Seed, 1509, a state of Martial Law is hereby declared in the Barony of Praedium and all lands under the jurisdiction of Baron Jacque de Praedium. This state of Military Occupation will only be lifted after at least one year ((one week)) of co-operation between the residents of Praedium and the National Guard force that is stationed in her lands. The verdict in the trial of Baron Jacque de Praedium will determine who shall lead the Barony after Martial Law is lifted. Signed, Lord Marshal Vasili Vanir

Duke Vanir smiles, excited at the prospect of a new, Nation-wide road system!

Vasili is shocked. He didn't know Karl has capable of showing emotion, let alone talking to females! He will attend, though.

Vasili wonders. "Why you do this, Karl?"

Duke Vasili Vanir nods his head slightly, hearing word of the recruitment drives that begin to sprout within his Duchy. Having yet to meet these new men under him, the Duke sends a runner off with a message, setting out a time for a meeting.

Was this map not supposed to last us a few years? Is that when Nexus will finally be removed, then? In my opinion, a good way to shrink the rift between the staff and the players is to listen to what the majority want. I could almost guarantee that the majority of this server would love to see nexus regions removed. Why not just reinstate the regions that were used in Anthos?

I remember you!

Holy ****. The staff's decisions are getting worse by the day.

(( Akovian feast postponed until 7EST tomorrow (Monday) due to IRL issues ))

would you consider yourself a professional rep farmer

Vasili Vanir looks somewhat surprised having heard from his brother Arik of the letter. He awaits eagerly for a response.

The Grand Akovian Feast Around the realm, to the sound of ringing bells, couriers scamper forth, messages clutched in their hands and shouts escaping from their lips. To every corner of the Kingdom of Man they ride, to each lord in his castle and peasant in his field. As stoic soldiers and hustling inkeeps hear the words, they join in the chanting, until the echoing sound can be heard for miles. “Feast, Feast, FEAST!” The Grand Feast of Akovia! In three months time, the Halls of Karovia shall be filled to the brink for feasting, fun and festivities! Festivities will include: A noble ball inside the keep A feast out in the fields A Grand Hunt All nobles, soldiers and subordinates of the Crown are welcome to attend to this celebration of Humanity's triumphs over foreign oppression and the arrival of a new Golden Age! Dress Appropriately!

I've known norman for like, almost two years now. Definitely a good choice for ET. He's an excellent RPer, knows how to take a joke but is serious when required. HUGE +1

=== Office of the Lord Marshal === Duties and Powers of the Lord Marshal The Lord Marshal is in charge of all military forces within the Kingdom of Oren. During times of war, the Lord Marshal is tasked with assembling the swords of Oren and wielding them to defend Humanity from all threats, foreign or domestic. In times of peace, he is responsible for ensuring that all levy forces within the Kingdom meet a certain standard, and for organizing Kingdom-Wide war games. Should an state of emergency be declared, such as Martial Law or a humanitarian disaster, the Lord Marshal can call upon the Kingdom’s soldiers to restore order or establish safe-zones. The Lord Marshal may declare Martial Law within a certain region in times of great emergency, if he deems it unsafe, or sees the resident guard force as incapable of maintaining the peace. Purpose of the Marshal's Office The Office of the Lord Marshal, currently located in the barracks in the Royal Palace, is where the Lord Marshal spends his time ensuring that Oren’s military runs smoothly. Any military related-declarations or notices, such as Levy Census', will be sent out from the Lord Marshal's office. All military related requests (such as request for supplies) to the Crown must first pass through the Lord Marshal’s office where their legitimacy is determined. A military order may only be eligible for financial assistance from the Crown once it has first been recognized as an Orenian military organization.
