"Oh, I see he finally forwarded the thing he asked me to help him with. The young are ever so energetic." The Colborn Patriarch smiled as brightly as an elder would. It reminded him of his own youth where he made plenty of donations to the Kongzem. It might be time he do so again.. the young had rekindled a flame in him.

The elderly Koeng, Robert I of Haense spoke to Sigismund over a drink of ambrosia. "I must say, you certainly left them with a lot to read my new friend!" With the clink of wine glass the two men smiled to eachother, eyes peering to the mirrored waters in between. "I suppose we'll have to see what your descendant decides to write... then again he is my descendant likewise." While the two waited above in the Seven Skies it seemed they wouldn't have to wait too long until the newly styled Koeng gave them what they wanted.

@Linde Having followed the man from the palace together with the Knights the elder Patriarch Adrian Colborn shook with each step, his legs were barely keeping on through the emotion hidden within. When the Koeng had told him of his plans, his final play, the old man could only draw in a breath and stand by his side as he had always done. When the blade of Ser Walton the Wall finally struck true, some blood splattered across the square, small droplets painting all those near. It was gruesome, but at least it was the fate the boy had wanted for himself. Perhaps the Haeseni could find peace with that and no doubt would they all honor his decision, for his strength and his valor. "He found his answer after all these years..." With a ringing in his ears and a hand clutching his cane he made way towards Rudolf Vyronov, perhaps sensing the man's mood the boy spoke to him quickly. "Please, do niet ask me to dual vy, Hauchpapej Adrian." The words broke the Patriarch free of his mind's many worries, is that what he had looked like? As if he was ready to die? Letting out an internal chuckle he steadied his hand with a smirk and whacked the boy across the top of his head. "Shush you fool, i'm not that old yet you hear?" On the inside the man was thankful as those words had brought him the clarity he needed. "There's still much to be done... Barbanov, our brothers, us Colborns will always stand by you and so has been true since both our founders made that promise, that vow. Perhaps that is why we have such long lives relative to our liege, so we might carry their burdens just a little longer." The Vyronov groaned out as Adrian began his monologue, far too used to it by now. "Hauchpapej I want my rest, please.." Thinking that perhaps he also needed his rest the elder relented and left for his bed, perhaps it could bring back the warmth he had lost mere moments before. ------- @Seuss Somewhere above the tall sky was a man kneeling before a far reaching pond which seemed to reflect the blue above, in its reflection could be seen the scenes of the mortal realm. He had been kind in life and loved his people, his was a different reign than most, but so were all those before him and after, behind him stood his father and a burly man. Though in life his son took a entirely different route than himself, he had always hoped there would be successor who followed in his footsteps, more akin to his ideology, his dream had long since been realized and ever since he watched Sigismund's every move. There was finally one amongst Karl's descendants that he felt entirely satisfied with. The Koengs before him which he met with frequently likewise had their favourites and Robert I certainly loved all those who worked the throne and wore the crown. But today, just for a moment he wished to meet someone he had long wished to speak with, for the first time he thirsted, thirsted for someone similar to speak with. "Brog, I see all too well and now that he has come to us it is only right I applaud him in person this once." The many centuries spent in the seven skies had not lessened the ever-warm smile of the former Koeng, as his naked feet walked the shallow pond waters. He had observed the longest out of the former Koengs, having not left these mirrored waters for centuries, for to him the Kongzem was the greatest passion of his life and its people the jewels of his eye. But today he wouldn't gaze, no, today he would be elsewhere and glad to be so. Perhaps he already knew that it wouldn't only be this once, no, chances are that he and Sigismund had far too much to talk about.

HOUSE COLBORN ON THE MATTER OF THE HOSPITAL OF ST. AMYAS Issued By THE PATRIARCH OF HOUSE COLBORN On this 7th of Tov & Yermey 423 E.S O' GUD, VOR HJELP I GYNE ERE, In the XXXVIII Session of the Royal Duma there was a moderated debate on ongoing worries from the medics, as well as the opinions thereupon by the representatives that went over the Hospital Bill of 423 ES, written by Lady Erika Barclay. The moderated debate moved on to a vote and resulted in a draw, which in simple terms means the bill did not pass. We of House Colborn having been present in number overhead these proceedings and found both sides to have good points, as a result, we wish to help the Kongzem as we always have, no man or woman, soldier or civilian should have to worry should they be wounded, and as such to alleviate such worries we offer to you Adrianna Darkwood three of our own to study beneath you and become of use. It is by this decree the following members of our family shall make themselves presentable before you post haste, Firr Godric Adrian Colborn Firr Felyx Francys Colborn Firr Cole Gadian Until a solution is found or an agreement is met between the parties of the Royal Duma, we hope this might be of use, may we all serve the Kongzem as our ancestors did and we still do, may the new blood do likewise as the old, together we shall not falter. We are all Haeseni and in its glory, we stand together forevermore. SKRALI VOR GUD Firr Adrian Erik Colborn, Patriarch of House Colborn, Court Herald, Keeper of The Book

"That's my boy! As ambitious as always." Said one Adrian Colborn with a elderly smile as he heard the news.

Adrian, the Colborn Patriarch is rather supportive of the up and coming gentleman. "He has my vote!"

An elderly Adrian stood besides Godric as he let out a terrible sneeze! It got all over the poor grandson. "Oh lord above! My dear grandson it seems i've caused a blunder. We can't show such poor form to his Majesty of Hoonseti-Rooska!"

"Is this the clothing section?" A senile but gentle elderly Adrian Erik Colborn says as he walks into the wrong room.

Somewhere out there a ancient high elf is busy studying some archaic artefact, dug out from a ruin, in an attempt to study some long gone civilization. Corvac looked to the east then for a moment as a tingle went down his spine. "Hmm, that's odd... Oh-" He stopped for a moment as he came to a realization. "It must be that time of the year again, truly, the old, especially those who never age have infinite time to scheme. We can certainly say that in this department our kind has long outdone the impures. Then again... we might have gotten a little too good at it, seeing as our government never remains stable. Ah well, there's more ruins to dig up! And at the rate we're going i've no doubt we'll be in that next phase in a few elven months, new leaders, new promises, all a part of how things go in the elCihi." Thinking back to the days when he was young and had hopes of undoing the wrongs of the past, he for once in the last century let a small smile grace him. "It's all a dream, dreams made to keep us cozy and sadly ripped away once we wake up, only to realize such is reality. To my fellow kind I can only hope we break the cycle one day, if not, well we've a long enough life to contemplate why!"

"We come as crows." One Adrian Colborn stated while marching home from the bloody wastelands of the far north.

"Fish, spread, bread." said one Adrian Colborn in the background.

The Deputy Palatine, Kaustantin Barcuh arrives with a letter in hand. It reads as follows as the Lord Speaker scans over its contents. "I have faith in the abilities of Robert Ludovar and as such nominate him for Lord Handler." Signed, Lord Palatine Adrian Colborn

"I have faith that Emma will do well as Koenas. Let's hope time does not prove me wrong and as such not make you worry my Koenas." Adrian stated while finishing the last dab of paint on the coat of arms and seal of the Queen's Council.

Walking down the road Adrian Colborn took a moment to eye the palace behind him and muttered a few words. "All eyes are on you now Sigismund, all eyes are on you."

Adrian Colborn was truly curious who this mysterious 'Eye of Karov' might be. . .

A certain Baruch Boy with a depression complex walks in and places a written letter on the speaker's desk from the office of the palatine. "In good confidence I vote for Lord Handler to be Yvo Mondblume." Signed, His Excellency, Adrian Colborn

[!] Kaustantin Baruch arrives and brings a letter from the Office of the Palatine to the Lord Speaker's desk. "To His Excellency, Lord Speaker Ruslan Baruch I vote confidently and with peace of mind for Grand Maer Karl amador."

THE ATTENLUND MAIL DRIVE The Haeseni Vessel Arriving in The Attenlund As we move towards the culmination and ultimate end of the expedition as a whole. We seek now as much as ever to communicate with the mainland and lay down the needed work to prepare for what's to come. There will be trouble on the horizon which we will need to face together. Let's hope that the descendants that make up our expedition can find kinship and comraderie where needs be. Let the third drive commence, just as we hope it won't be the last that you hear of us. We announce thus the beginning of the third ‘Mail Drive’ Signed by, Expedition Leader Adrian Colborn Rules (OOC) To send a letter you simply respond (by posting your letter as a reply to this post) and tag whoever is supposed to be the recipient.

THE ATTENLUND MAIL DRIVE The Haeseni Vessel Arriving in The Attenlund In recent times the expedition has hit a snag. We have had to retreat to our newfound allies village, that of the trolls. I hope here that we can find some rest and prepare for what is to come. With these hopes in mind, delays no longer an issue, we shall proceed as we have before. Let there be correspondence with the mainland, let’s hope they will hear us, let’s hope they can bring us peace of mind. These hopes are what keeps us all from a terribly daunting cliff. So let it be for now, put to rest for a moment, put aside for another day and put instead our quill and ink to good use.

The Haeseni Vessel Arriving in The Attenlund In the distance of the Attenlund’s murky waters approaches a ship. The vessel is not large, yet not small either, carrying with it some precious cargo and one Nikolas. It comes at the mark of the first year spent since the expedition set out on its venture. There have been days of terrible nightmares as well as days of hearty laughter since then. An expedition is no simple matter and no doubt will its members face many obstacles on their path. It is as such, in between all hardship that we find comfort in the simpler of things. The pleasantness and comfort of home, speaking with those we love and care for, keeping in contact with family and friends, such is the nature of a Mail Drive. We carry thus our hopes with us that Nikolas may receive these letters and bring them swiftly to those would be recipients.

"And so it begins, the call for adventure." Adrian smiled the sun's smile.

"This, this has me inspired. It is a document worth reading that's for certain." Adrian Erik Colborn would note after he finished reading.
