THE LAST FADING STAR
In the year 226 of the Second Age
✠
To the Royarch,
The once-supreme status of the Principality of Celia’nor has long faded. People depart your lands en mass in search of better life. Those responsible for your citizens well-being are unable to protect anyone, and now you signed your end by standing with the excommunicated Haenseni.
The great men and women of Aevos are pressed under the boot of new generations of Haenseni, who refuse to rally in aid to even the smallest skirmishes. While it's not much different from the days of Veletz, these Haenseni can no longer guarantee safety and grant you protection under their wings. Upon the release of this missive, I already imagine how the skies will darken with flocks of birds towards the Starlit capital, begging you to ignore this, to remain as you were and to not listen to ‘heathens’ offering you a fair solution.
We have spoken not many times, Lady Celia’nor, but I trusted you to be a person of your word and you did deliver. Now, I offer you my own promises, should you be wise to accept:
You declare the end of Principality of Celia’nor as it is and relieve its boundless lands to me, Hadrian van Aert, to rebuild the country as he sees fit - a strong militaristic power of the region.
The titles of royalty, such as the Princess of Celia’nor will remain in the venerable Iryne Ibarellan’s possession, should she accept these demands.
A new country with a new name will emerge in its place with Hadrian van Aert as its head.
The current citizens within the county's borders will be allowed to remain. Peers of the realm will be offered new titles.
The remaining Ibarellans in honor of this agreement will be offered housing and safety, but will not be made Peers within the new realm. The sympathizers of Veletz will also stop hunting you for your ‘neutrality’ during the Aevos coalition war.
Celia’nor shall not have her history erased and her library will remain open for all.
Celia’nor shall provide Adalhart von Draco a personal butler by the name Ellisar Ibarellan (DuckstepOP).
I, Hadrian van Aert, now raise my hand and I shall build and elevate the new power of MAN in the Midlands. I offer you all this in hopes you understand that this is the only way for your citizens to remain in their homes, safe with their families. I will return to the Northern Midlands and save it from the decay that grips it now. I will act in accordance with the Lord’s will and return our Midlands to better days, days that many have longed for. Those in support of this noble cause should not shy away from vocalizing the benefits of my propositions to the people of Celia’nor.
Surrender your throne to me and all your people will thank you.
Hadrian van Aert
