[!] Duke Jan Kovachev of Carnatia, leading a cavalry charge against Courlandic forces at the Siege of Krakens Watch C.1563. A Decisive Coalition Victory. [!]
For many decades that have past, the North has been rendered victim to slaughter and oppression. Our culture, our religion, our very way of life has been destroyed by those who would see us on our knees. We have been tread on by the boots of those who would look for the genocide of our people and all those that will oppose them in their goal of conquest.
In cold blood, a mere boy of the age of eight was slaughtered in a court whilst pursuing for peace. A boy of Ruthern who wished to uphold his oath to his liege, was slaughtered over the crime of refusing to pay a reparation so stained with greed and decadence it blinded all form of reason.
The Mad King, Joseph of the House Staunton, would once again look to stain the ground of our land with blood just to quench his own thirst for conquest.
For too long have we looked idly by and watched as this madness has taken place.
As of now, House Kovachev formally declares an alliance with House Ruthern. We would join them in their cause and would see our blades wet with the Mad King’s blood. We would declare war against those who would seek our destruction.
It’s time Courland answered for their crimes against humanity.
Courlandia Delenda Est

His Grace, Viktor of House Kovachev, Duke of Carnatia,
Count of Turov and Kvaz, Baron of Kovagrad and Valwyk.
