Septimius Bracchus was too hammered in the Belvitzi tavern of the Seven’s Skies to initially notice Alex enter, but he gave him a jovial greeting the following night.

[!] Across from Helena on the short hills that a war camp once stood, a gathering of malcontents remained - Adrians, supposedly. Passersby to the capital began to see themselves jeered as word spread from it; a Duma approached. [!] Move quickly, this fellow seems not to be very sociable! Age old is the tale of an Adrian being deceived by a Helenan - though it would not seem so if you look upon the plights we yet face! Faulting ourselves though would be foolish. We cut a deal with a crow, but it was a Rhenyari voice that spoke through it! In two Saint’s Days, we shall host a new Duma, seeing as the Duke of Helena is too preoccupied to call his own.

Any who arrive shall be forcibly removed. Red Rogers shall host us in his tavern for it, and may it be as merry as any night drinking! All whilst wishing our people good fortune and fresh smelling breath, Father of Adria, Ratibor ‘Dima’ Ratispora

Having spoke of not caring to serve his role in privy within the walls of the palace due to condescension and hostility towards the various cultures that surrounded Helena, ‘Dima’ Ratispora would simply send notice of this to the Archchancellor. A not simply reading, ‘Let not my work go wasted on people like these.’, he set out first to the Adrian Heartlands, then to Haense.

Enjoying a whole platter of cheese and a bottle or two of wine, ‘Dima’ Ratispora enjoyed his night despite his poem about public restrooms being panned by critics.

Taking great pride in the Ruskan Renaissance and the changed in his life, ‘Dima’ Ratispora was pleased to heard from his old Curon connection of another prominent house! “They think of us as Streltsy of old...” At that, he bellowed with laughter!

“Ah, it seems these Konchaks are not so simple...” Grumbling as he sorted through the volumes of cultural reading given to him by Begovars, ‘Dima’ Ratispora immerses himself in study!

DUMAPALOOZA [!] Far and near the horses of the Konchak and Karaman riders see couriers deliver the final invitations to the widely advertised Adrian occasion, the Dumapalooza. From them, many would receive this missive, or find one second hand reading thusly… [!] Belvitzi folks partaking in Duma in the Balt, Date 12th Sun Smile 1697 “In Swathes and swathes they came, those merry Adrian Folk; dislocated from Ves and from Belvitz, by turmoil and upheaval of the simple life they knew. But one thing was certain; when Ratibor ‘the Red’ called upon them, these jovial dandies and jostling drinkers would surely come hither and listen. For the Adrian there is one thing they hold sacrosanct above all else: Duma.” - Boris Ratiborovich, 1732 Privej good men and women, of both the hordes or towns. Finally, may the open ears hear this - the Dumapalooza has a camp to base out of, and many electors at the ready! Wanderers near and far of Adrian descent, come by the old camp St. Michael between Rubern and Helena (X: -270 Z: -1340) and behold the host there! Expect the following revelry and good times: Performances by the old Hibou Plongeant! Elector Timothee de Fontaine and his merry band shall play fair and fun tunes and the like for those about! Drinks by the renowned Mr. Roger! Drunkeness to prepare for, and celebrate the Dumapalooza will be encouraged as it always has by the electors of the Duma! Our election itself - the be all, end all, for deciding our Duke! This should be self explanatory, as it should explain what the vote is for, yes! The Duma itself - we shall vote on the direction of the Duchy hereafter, via a great Duma itself!

“Eya, lemme buy you a drink!” Says ‘Dima’ to poor Thomas, watching he greet the tavern!

[!] Far and wide a missive is sent via many impoverished couriers – whether you see this looked over at a tavern, or robbed fresh from one of these fellas, news would spread far and wide of the coming reformation of Adria! [!] THE DUMAPALOOZA APPROACHES Hark, children of Adria! Drole times make bored the once merry Adrian diaspora, the bright smiles and merry revelers of all nations now! But worry little, yes, worry only an itsy bit, for not just a Duma is being called - but a Dumapalooza! All people are welcome to partake in these festivities, but only a few may elect a Duke! This missive serves only to see which families of these still live on, so we may better arrange the Duma itself! Coming soon will be a list of festivities and amenities, and an itinerary that those who are literate may follow. Summons to the ducal electors and families of is hereby issued, where the leader of the house or their representative may cast a vote to elect our new Duke; Ratispora, @Publius Sarkozic, @Hunwald Rutledge, @Language Basarab, @bungo Roscoe the Dragon, @ARCHITECUS Vladov, @erik0821 Bracchus, @WACKO Watanabe, @Moo_bot Majordomo of Auvergne, @YPJgamer1999 Valic, @Kid Mackin Ault, Scratch that!
