Viscount Britannus of Varna nods.

Viscount Britannus of House Vanir lets out a soft sigh. "I do hope that I am able to find a woman to eventually become me Viscountess-Consort. Time will tell it seems."

Does this mean resource island like last map? YES!!! POGGERS! LETS GO! THANK GOD I NEVER PUT EFFORT INTO VORTEX GRINDING FOR HOURS! YESS!!

"Good cause this shows the church that this war isn't about religion. It's also stupid to think it is either way." the young Lord Britannus would state.

The Traditions of House Vanir As penned by Viscount of Varna, Britannus Vanir Vanir c.o.a's _______________________ Raiding: The most famous and well-practiced pastimes are their incredibly troublesome and stealthy raids. Ever so often they would appear out of thin air where they would pillage villages, fortresses, or even a city whilst taking captives and taking whatever loot they could muster. Though plunder was not restricted to gold; highly sought-after prizes included tools, seeds, livestock, slaves, and trophies. Within these raids Vanirs have been known to spare the lives of those they raid should they be deemed honorable, to which they’d often be taken as prisoners or maimed so that they may tell the tale of a great Vanir raid. As for plunder, the Vanirs do not see it as theft yet more so of an honorable deed done to win glory or wealth for oneself or family. The loot taken from the raid was often shared between members of the party. Though a cowardly theft of another Vanir’s rightful plunder is seen as the gravest crime, akin to murder. Honor duels: Due to their hot-headed type nature, many disputes between Vanirs were solved with personal duels. This would range anywhere from a simple wrestling match or a bloody fistfight to a full-on trial by combat (exclusively permitted by the patriarch’s word only), these duels were seen as fairways to resolve disputes. If a Vanir was to lose he/she would admit his/her wrongdoing and makeup with the man/woman that he/she had just fought with, this would often cause a growing bond between them. Harboring resentment or ill will after the duel is severely frowned upon. Trophy belt: An important part of Vanir culture is that of the trophy belt to which is used to show off a raiders prestige and history of battle. After defeating a worthy opponent, a Vanir would take a trophy ranging from a weapon, cloak, or valuable and attaching it to their belt. The Patriarch of the family would often wear golden rings and chains on their person and belts as well, to distinguish himself as the leader. Festivals: The times of Harvest and Battle festivals were celebrated often by Vanirs, where they would praise their deities for a good year, and wish for luck in the next. These festivals were known to be filled with heavy drinking, dueling, swimming contests, and boat racing. Traders across the world would be welcomed for a few days only where they would be able to sell their goods or purchase materials. The Coming of Age: When a Vanir male or female becomes of age (14-18) they often are expected, if willing, to go out on their own voyage of pirating. The young and inexperienced Vanir will be expected to raid unknown territories so that they may experience the life of their ancestors of Vanaheim. When returning home they are expected to present the trophies and riches gained from their voyage to the Patriarch of the family. (Note: Writing a roleplay post filled with what they experienced upon the adventure is highly recommended) A Vanir’s Funeral: When a Vanir dies, a funeral feast is held to which they would raise a glass of ale or mead to the memory of the departed. After the feast, a ship burial is taken place at the family’s docks or at a coastline to the sea to which the corpse would be set upon a small boat filled with the Vanirs riches. As the boat floats away from the coast the Patriarch of the family is to shoot an arrow lit with fire upon it, setting it ablaze.

A Statement From Varna House Vanir c.o.a’s A month has passed since my father died and my brother, Vlademar, had taken up his rightful place as Viscount of Varna. Since that time my brother has abandoned the Viscounty where he had left a note of his abdication and that he has joined our cousin, Ivar Brackish, on a voyage of pirating as our ancestors did. With his abdication, it has left me, Britannus Vanir, as the new Viscount of Varna. My goal as Viscount is to rebuild my family’s presence within the Kingdom of Haense as it has gone dry during my father’s rule as Viscount. Furthermore, I shall seek to rebuild our stance as the natural figurehead of our Kingdom’s navy like we once had them many years ago in our Kingdoms history. ‘The Sea Bows to None’ Signed, THE HONORABLE, Britannus of House Vanir, Viscount of Varna, Baron of Kraken’s Watch, Lorentz, Serpenstone, Hallaberg

The old Stefan Vyronov, the grandfather to Baron Stefan, lets out a chuckle. "What is Haense without some Vyronov conspiracy or drama. This has been a thing since Duke Lerald Vyronov."

"Good." the old Stefan Vyronov states

Ivar Brackish lowers his head in respect of his now late cousin. Rest well me cousin. Even though I was niet here throughout your rule, I shall be there for your sons. Vu were always the brother I never had. Vu are a true Son of the Sea as a Vanir and Sea Bows to None.

"Perhaps me cousin, the heir to the Viscounty of Varna, Valdemar should take part in this. It'd be a good strong noble marriage." Ivar Brackish would think outloud

The old retired Stefan Vyronov nods upon reading the announcement. "About time my grandson marries or else he'd be old and no heir for the family. Shame I won't be able to make it but your sister will represent my presence that I am sure of."

(( Reserved )) Stefan Vyronov lets out a sigh. "Another Queen I have outlived it seems. Long may vu rest Isabel, you've served the Koengdom well."

The retired Baron and once former Maer lofts a brow at the small voice from the back.

"Good. We are a human Kingdom and our nobility should remain as humans not mixed like Sutica." The old Stefan Vyronov stated firmly

Stefan Vyronov sighs. "If he touches my grandson or any Vyronov again though.. he'll have to face me old wrinkled hands."

Stefan Vyronov smiles upon reading it. "This is a good way of getting to know my grandfather, someone I didn't get to meet."

Ah April fools joke. NO FIREARMS!

The old Stefan Vyronov takes a smoke from his pipe "Perhaps I should talk to my grandson about having some Vyronovs go out to seek out this woman. Could always use some good money."

Ser Robert Vyronov laughs seeing Sigmar arrive in the seven skies. "Well...well.. well.."

Stefan Vyronov nods in approval

The old Stefan Vyronov lofts a brow. "This saints day has been a weird day for my family, at least from my point of view."

The old Stefan Vyronov scratches his head. "What about my grandson, Stef? Is this the new Vyronov conspiracy theory.. what is up with my family being involved with these theories"
