John Valentinus looked at the missive during his daily rounds through Whitespire. "Maybe this is a sign to get involved in something bigger than myself," he remarked to himself. Now he was off to speak to his Father and to start packing for this potential 'field-trip.'

ENSWERP AFTER-HARVEST FARMERS MARKET of 1972 A local artist’s recapture of the Great Harvest of Enswerp, Circa 1971 TO THE CITIZENS OF AAUN, ENSWERP, AND BEYOND The backbone of a feudal society is made up of its profoundly competent serfs. Without them no one would be fed, or clothed, or even alive due to their necessary work. That is why the people of Enswerp wish to celebrate their paramount work, and they wish to celebrate it with all! The Farmer’s Market will allow those within Enswerp, and out, to sell their wares and share within this natural wealth. The only requirement to be eligible for a stall is that you’re in good standing with the hamlet. To apply for a stall or stand, one can simply write to the Bailiff and one will be provided. This is all of course if there is room, and once there is no more space available the public will be informed! A new tradition for the hamlet is the inclusion of the People’s Choice Award. Every participant, be they customer or seller, will be allowed to vote for their favorite stall. By the end of the market, all votes will be tallied-up and a winner of this year’s Farmer’s Market will be declared! The winner will win a permanent, tax-free stall in Enswerp along with a 100 Mina prize. ITINERARY The Farmer’s Market [April 13th, 2:00 PM EST] Stalls will be established throughout the Hamlet of Enswerp. The main festivities will occur next to the Town Hall. The People’s Choice Award [April 13th, 3:00-ish PM EST] A brief announcement will be made regarding who has been awarded the most votes during the Farmer’s Market. The winner will receive a prize of 100 Mina and a chance to showcase their wares. The event will officially conclude afterward, but festival-goers may remain for drinks and entertainment!

John the Younger peeled back the envelope of his invitation with glee! However, his smile began to fade as he noticed when it'd be occurring. "I'll just have to get them something proper! Surely Charlie can hand-deliver it, or would it be better for me to?" He'd begin to plot!

A great summary for both sides! Reminds me of Matthew 7:3-5. :^) Also, Ephesians 6:12. @Nooblius

To his Holiness, Vicar of the Creator and High Pontiff of the Mother Church, I would like to petition your Holiness for my electorship to be returned to me! My family, that of the Montelliano has a long and storied tradition, dating back to the City of Ves upon Arcas and even before that for a time within the boom town of Belvitzia in service to the Duke of Adria. My family was the first to receive the honor of patricianship and served humbly as both mayors cultivating Ves into what it was centuries ago and within the old Adrian duma. For most of the dumapaloozas we have attended as electors, until the great rebellion of Heinrik the Betray and his neo-Renatian goons. My brethren in culture, the Bracchi, have been given a vote and as fellow Illatians and Adrians of Atlas and Arcas I humbly request such a right to be given to me, Ser Stefano Montelliano, as head of the Esteemed house of Montelliano and to continue the tradition so that this dumapalooza is as legitimate as the one's of old! In the case that you do consider and accept such a request, I cast my vote for house Barbanov-Bihar, even if they did burn Ves all those centuries ago... Signed, Ser Stefano Montelliano -

Ludolf looked at the missive's contents within his chamber. "Now is the time.." He'd begin to polish his armor and set time aside to focus on his martial abilities. Battle would surely bring honor to both his nation and to his departed Father!

Within the FORT ALBA of the Hamlet of Enswerp, Ser Stefano was able to ponder the issue for several months. The thoughts of his nephew-cousin lingered day and night. At times he was hot, but at other he was cold. Perhaps Emilio the Young wasn't such a bad fellow. Instead, it was those that he associated with. He also thought, at times, that it was Emilio Jr. that brought this reckoning upon himself. There was one thing that came to mind each and every time. . . That the hate between a Father and Son would likely boil over into the loss of life just as it had done many times before. This surely must not happen, for the sake of his family!

ENSWERP KING’S FESTIVAL of 1966 An artist’s representation of the Aaunic countryside on the eastern side of St. Daniel’s Crossing, Circa 1964 TO THE CITIZENS OF AAUN, ENSWERP, AND BEYOND With a newfound peace within the land it is proper to hold a festival in honor of our Apostolic King and the Covenant Victory over our enemies! The people of Enswerp wish to also show reverence to our King for his decision to allow us to live within our own hamlet and to seek GOD within our own community. All citizens of Aaun are invited along with nations that are of good standing with the Apostolic Kingdom. Two competitions will be held along with smaller events sprinkled throughout the Saint’s Day. At the end of the festival ALL CANONISTS will be invited to honor our most holy GOD and his disciples. SCHEDULE The Festival [March 2nd, 3:00 PM EST] The Festivities will occur throughout the entire Saint’s Day, but a particular list of events are as follows: Contest of St. Robert of Metz In respect to St. Robert, contestants will compete with one another to see who can stomach the most beer! The beer is locally supplied by Enswerp’s wheat farms & brewery. The champion of this competition will be paid 100 Mina and will be known as ‘The Fat-One of Enswerp.’ Bop the Stassie With the Marchlands just across the river the Stassionite presence was impactful within the region of Enswerp. That is why we will be celebrating the Covenant’s victory over the rebels! Contestants will attempt to hit one another off of a small platform. A bracket system will be created for this contest, and the winner of each round will face another winner until a champion is made. This champion will win 100 Mina and will be known as the ‘Bopper of Enswerp.’ Feast for the King As both competitions are held a series of speeches, poems, and so forth will be read aloud during a feast held within the main square of Enswerp. This feast will be in honor of our Apostolic King and his victory over our enemies. As well, this feast will be in recognition of his decision in allowing Enswerp to settle along St. Daniel’s Crossing. The Offerings of the Four Exalted After all the celebrations are through the participants will burn offerings to GOD, the Four Exalted, and the Saints as a form of honoring them. This allows proper Canonists the chance to ask for intercession and have their prayers answered.

Ser Leopold welcomed his Eldest into the Seven Skies with extended arms. "You were dealt a bad hand, and I am sorry for what was left to you! However, now we may celebrate for the rest of our lives.. In GOD's presence." A gentle smile formed on the Father's face. Whilst. . . Ser Stefano was deeply troubled by the news. He sat along the Eastern side of the St. Daniel's Crossing as he pondered the missive's contents. "My King put him down, but for what..?" The question almost slipped from him breathlessly as one of his many nephews marched their way up to him. The only thought that was left was that he'd have to leave another candle by the alter.

Ser Stefano came across the missive as he traveled through St. Daniel's Crossing. The parchment was crumbled within his grasp, and he wept aloud. "How could this happen to such a nice boy? My very own squire? I pray that his Spirit can bring him to the right path." He would continue his way into the hamlet to spend the evening in the chapel to pray over Robert's fate.
