  1. Robert I tends to his orchard in the Seven Skies, wiping sweat from his brow. With a reach of his hand he picks the finest golden grapes, which he offers to Otto, smiling warmly to his blooded kin. "You can still watch them from the reflecting waters of Gamesh, but try and relax - you have earned it."
  2. KRUSAE ZWY KONGZEM Issued by Erik Edvard Colborn on this 14th of Jula ag Piov of 522 Hearken, all of Aevos, for Queen Amaya has fallen. Her passing ought not be marked with sorrow and denial, for she was greatly favoured by the Light in death, as much as she was in life. For, in life, she wore her crown as Queen of Haense. She stood astride her lord husband on the battlefields of the Covenant War, from the historic triumphs at Breakwater and Hippo’s Gorge, to the bitter defeats of Westmark. She wielded her glaive as the General of the Rosen Banner, who marshalled even the courtiers of the Esrova Palace to bear steel in battle against the Veletzians and Orcs. She was lauded as the Queen of the People, for she was ever a present warmth on the streets of Valdev, and her grace was exclusive to none. In death, she was the White Flame. Though her body grew weak and blighted, she was favoured with death in battle against the Infernals she had once shown mercy to. She was blessed as the Blossom-Blooded, for when she bled upon the soil, fresh tulips bloomed to mark her favour in the Seven Skies. She was the Summer Rain, for, when the bells of Valdev marked her passing, those who loved her so wept until autumn had come - and those that loved her so were beyond counting. Let all the realms of man come pay their respects. To Amaya. Queen of Haense. The White Flame. OOC DETAILS Lord, Erik Edvard Colborn, Grand Elder, Holder of Lysnir the Shadowbane
  3. The Queen’s Peril Published from the County of Malkovya AND ISSUED ON THE 7TH OF JULA AG PIOV, 522 E.S. Not even two years have passed since the shadow struck at the heart of Malkovya, piercing my flesh and bringing forth vile torment to my coil, were it not for my sister Queen Amaya, Marian Weiss, and a passing Elfess alchemist then I would have joined our ancestors. It was first, when I recovered that I was told of my wife’s passing. Hers, at least, was in peace, without the influences of devilry or shadow. But while our attention pointed towards the county, and I was recovering, my sister Queen Amaya was assassinated in cold blood by the agents of Iblees, and her Martyrdom will not be forgotten. It has lit a fire in all of Scyfling kind; no son of Slesvik fears the shadow or its many forms, nor do we shy away from confrontation. Before we could grieve the passing of our fallen, we sallied out in search of answers. I and the patriarch investigated what we were able, and with the help of our fellow statesmen, we found our answer. But it came at a great cost, for as we scouted far into the north, we were ambushed by daemons and barely managed to escape with our lives. I write this proclamation thus as our Patriarch is still recovering from injury. The guise of Iblees comes in many forms, in his division of man and his corruption of men, but in the case of Amaya’s death, he had possessed the flesh of our dead kinsmen Aaren Colborn and through him partaken in devilry most vile. The man we knew as Aaren has long since been dead, that we had known for years, but whatever possesses his mortal flesh today, is no kin of ours, we declare it thus, with conviction and retribution. I say to you, daemon who has taken the form of our kin, we will search for you, we will find you, and we will slay you where you stand. Every Colborn knows how to pay their dues, and we will have you pay yours. As for the forces of the Deceiver who attempted to burn Malkovya’s church and attacked our people, not once but twice, we will deal with you, of that have no doubt. We thus invite the Holy Canonist Church to our land. May they bring light in the darkness and strike the shadow back to whence it came from. We call upon @Xarkly Villorik, Cardinal Westerwald to house and station the Holy Order of The White Comet in our land, and we shall battle at your side and support you in any way possible on the battlefield, financial or otherwise. Lord, Erik Edvard Colborn, Grand Elder, Holder of Lysnir the Shadowbane The Right Honourable, Mikhail Ulric Aleksey Colborn, Count of Malkovya, Viscount of Venzia, Baron of Bethlenen, Lord of Vorenburg, Protector of Scyflings, Deputy-Treasurer of Hanseti-Ruska, Owner of The Scyfling World
  4. "Oh, Vati is being coronated? But I don't have any clothes for such an occassion..." Erwin looked around his shared room with his brother @Liokv "WE FORGOT TO BUY CLOTHES REINREIN! ! ! WE FORGOT TO BUY CLOTHES! ! ! ! !" It seemed during renovating their room the small budget was only used on furniture...
  5. CAUSE FOR CAUTION for AEVOSIAN IMPERIALISM by ERIK of MALKOVYA PRINTED BY THE COMMON MAN SOCIETY OF ANTI-IMPERIALISM An artistic depiction of an Imperialist imagining the world without Oren. With Aevos returned to peace following the conclusion of the Coalition War, the sovereigns of the new world order now gather to best steer our shared destiny forward, one free of unnecessary bloodshed and wanton chaos - as stipulated already by the Winburgh Proclamation, Section VII, the Future of Man, wherein the Grand Covenant of the Exalted Horen's descendants have been convening to discuss such a new pivotal chapter in the Tapestry of Man. So far consisting of the realms of Petra, Haense, Aaun, Hyspia, Balian, and perhaps the emergent Principality of Reinmar. We find ourselves now in a post-war world where the dreams of Imperial ambition is once again settling into the minds of man. If not by the monarch(s) and their crowns, then by the scholars’ quill or the sword of warriors. We are staunchly reminded thus that humanity will always aspire to unite further, for better or for worse, our ambition as deep as the ocean. But it is for this very reason that I stand in opposition to Tiber of Neu Paradisius. I lament that we have seen these attempts by men greater than us, not once but twice, yet each attempt has failed harsher than the last. I shall in good conscience outline why the three forwarded conceptual unifications are faulty, and entirely a dream, which if realized will bring naught but harm and wasted time. While I recognize Tiber’s hope to settle any flaws through cooperation and find common success, I find it unlikely to be solved even by the greatest minds of man. Shall my words fall on deaf ears then may at least my criticism help make any faults more clear than before. Glaring Faults of Unified or Imperial Humanity With any unification attempt the yoke of each nation(s) independence must be infringed upon, stoking unpopular sentiment among the people, as well as spitting on the sacrifices of many wars, causing widespread dissatisfaction from the onset. Any open-gate policies or shared citizenry registers would cause widespread bureaucracy liabilities that neither stand to profit from the changes but instead make governing more difficult. In the same sense, criminals would also cause further political turmoil, for states will stand by their people, even if to the demerit of another state, as has been shown many times historically. Any unified capital and governor or monarch of such a place will only stand to benefit the first ruling family or representative of such a place, each nation making vast sacrifices, to bolster such a place at their own expense, while they would do better without it. As proven time and time again all it takes is for a singular state or representative of a larger group to act out, to break the system, or otherwise be disenfranchised for the whole thing to come crumbling. May this be the “unified” leader deciding that their family is in fact a dynasty now and no new leader shall be elected, or for example a state asking to revoke membership due to grievances or dissatisfaction. The effort and sacrifices required to form such a union between states will always require more time and work than the benefits that would result from less work, begging the question: Why even bother? The unification in all but name relegates each royal family to a vassal of a greater entity that may or may not have its best interests in mind. Many conflicting loyalties will exist as a result, and the only solution would be for each state to give up statehood for shared identity, something that will only benefit the unified leader and not any state royals. For any Empire to be successful it is tantamount for it to control its various territories and vassals. If you promise that such control shall not be imposed and states will retain their independence, then unification and Imperial Ambition cannot be successful, such is the reality of an Empire, for a lack of control is the death of any such entity. For cultural, ethnic, political, and other reasons, the goals of each nation and the direction its people dictate are diametrically opposed to each other. This will only further rifts, causing political pains that cannot be recovered from under a unified mantle. With a grand leader of the union of states or the Empire at its head, one could only rule such an entity impartially if aware of each state's wants and needs, meaning communication must be near perfect, the history of each nation must be known at length, and cultural differences must be bridged expertly. I for one believe no man of our current day to access such ability, nor capable of performing such miracles. In the end, each ruler will lean more towards some states than others, causing harm to them, when they have sacrificed so much for unification. Succession will be argued endlessly and states will leave if a leader is elected or chosen that is entirely unacceptable by their standards, no man or woman, capable of being accepted by each realm and their people as leader will be followed by such a man or woman, as such spelling the timed doom of such a concept. I advise thus to all who read this to find in their hearts the logic and reason which I know them to hold. To learn from the faults of our past, and remember history, without the charm of legends and myths of greater men, but rather the realities and results of the events that transpired. From this article, may your logic not falter in the face of the Imperialist Ambition of Old.
  6. If your wishes are thus to thrust onto us the devices of an Empire, then you must abandon the name of Oren. When the day comes that humanity is united may it not reignite the claimants of old, instead, may it stand a new legacy. I will speak not at length on this subject as any scholar should understand my meaning. Should this be the Empire of Oren or Pax Orenia, then it will fall as soon as it attracts the flies once guided to such a name. Those of you who hold onto the name Oren as if your life depends on it, know this, you will be the reason for the tapestry of man's continued divide. Lamented Erik Edvard Colborn as he felt as though he was seeing a reoccuring headache appear once again.

  8. IF YOU'RE READING THIS THEN YOU WEREN'T CONFIDENT ENOUGH ABOUT YOUR NATION UPVOTE TO REGAIN YOUR CONFIDENCE IN YOUR NATION (❤️ You're all loved and appreciated ❤️) Also, please tell me your favourite moment in your nation, and this post is lowkey a positivity post 😀 Optional second question: Tell me what you love the most about your nation.
  9. A Jolly old Colborn in the Seven Skies, one Adrian, simply laughed heartily. "Good, all things are as it should be. It seems Cassian II lives up to the name."

  11. I can't believe its finally real. I must say, massive credit to Greenh for making my dream a reality - Christmas came early.
  12. A KING’S LAMENT A rose to the fated, a rose to romance. To the good Queen Mother of Balian, The Kingdom of Balian has done you a great disservice unlike any other. For three decades I have devoted myself in service of my future duties as a husband, surrendering my soul and essence to mastering such a craft. Now, I find myself surrounded by nought but the hope for a wife most worthy--hardworking and steadfast. I thirst only for companionship, one equal and steeped in heartfelt consideration. I’m surrounded by my peers and my equals, friends and family, who all support each other with care and dedication. I see and respect your profound broad-mindedness and ability to stand up for your truth. Thus with a heavy heart, I write that I shall, as a lamenting King searching for his Queen-to-be offer a chance for the two of us to be. Your home may lay elsewhere as you’ve said, from Adrian I to Davyd I, in pursuit of true union--not emancipation. Where respect and the sanctity of GOD shall stand forever, without being tarnished. I shall preserve your right to your children, and be a father to them, unlike the one who attempts relations with a foreign monarch--souring relations with untoward advances. All I ask is to preserve my right to be the King to your heart, befitting my role as your stalwart partner. I pray that day will come, and I lament that we’ve yet to come together a KING to HIS QUEEN. My heart aches for you as yours do for the people. I reach you thus by letter as you’ve so graciously offered, I can only hope you offer me a chance--a path to your heart. A PATH TO BE YOUR KING! Signed by your ardent admirer, His Royal Highness, Davyd I of Muldav
  13. One Erik Colborn read the writ and couldn't stop himself from speaking aloud from atop the mountains, just above the Weiss lands - where he herded goats. "WHAT IN THE ACTUAL ****! THE WEISS ARE OUR ALLIES! I SWEAR IF ANY WEISS BLOOD IS SPILT OVER THIS I WILL SACK HIS HOME WITH A THOUSAND GOATS!!! OR ELSE MY NAME IS NOT ERIK COLBORN."
  14. St. Carr pulls along Cassian I to peer down from the seven skies. While jutting a finger in the direction of the ceremonies he speaks softly while patting his descendant's back. Their eyes are kept on the new Count. "To think you'd be the first one who'd have a second peer named after you. It seems he has much to live up to." While Cassian I remains silent and leaves without much disturbance, St. Carr stays still--gaze kept upon the earth below. "Cassian II, let's see what tale he'll write."
