  1. SUMMONS TO GRAND DUMA OF ADRIA | 1906 13th day of Sigismund's End of 1906 TO THE DUCHY OF ADRIA The dumacratic values of Adria are considered sacred and the bedrock upon which our Adria was founded. Since the times of Duke Franz I Vladov, Adria has distinguished itself for its progressive values and integrative vision of a Duchy established not on the despotism of hitherto Savoyard or Horenic polities but instead on that of compromise and unity through differentiating ideas. As Duke of Adria, it behooves me to recognize the people's will and give them ample capacity to advise on the governance of Adria. Thus, I summon the inaugural Grand Duma of Adria so that we continue to forge our shared vision of prosperity and stability. Heinrik Otto var Nikolai Sarkozic THE DUMA IS SUMMONED UNDER THIS ITINERARY OATHS OF CONFRATERNITY Once all members of the free and open assembly are seated, an inaugural Oath of Confraternity. The Assembling Horn will be plugged and wine and spirits poured in. All those who drink heartily from it will be known thenceforth as friends and brothers of the Grand Duma and are entitled to a vote and an audience. VALIDATION OF THE FRANCISAN ARTICLES It is the hereditary duty of the Duke and Duma to validate the Franciscan Articles of Adria, the most hallowed of Adriatic governing documents. Though some argue the Duke, by his authority, may promulgate such unilateral declarations, those are wrong, for the power of the Duchy lies inherently in the Duma itself, to which all are subject. Thus the Duma itself must declare the Franciscan Articles so that none may misinterpret the genesis of power. CONSIDERATION OF THE EDICT OF ROSEMOOR The Ducal Seat wishes the Grand Duma to consider the application of the Edict of Rosemoor unto the Duchy, formally allowing women to stand for election to the position of Duke of Adria and its inherent titles on equal grounds so told they qualify under the electoral laws of the Franciscan Articles. ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE DUCAL SEAT The Duke will give multiple announcements regarding the welfare of the Duchy of Adria and updates on Ducal affairs. Furthermore, it is the duty of the Duke to regularly inform the Duma of Adria of preeminent business within the Duchy. PETITIONS TO DUKE AND DUMA & GENERAL PROPOSALS Concluding the business of the Grand Duma will be for any to petition the Duma or the Duke regarding the business of the Duchy OR issue for Duma consideration. IN NOMINE ADRIAE His Grace, Heinrik I Sarkozic, Duke of Adria, Count of Veletzia, Baron-Consort of Aldersberg, Protector of the Aaunic South, Keeper of the Swans
  2. SUMMONS TO THE ROYAL DIET OF AAUN Declared and published in the year of Our Lord, 1906 TO THE UNITED KINGDOM AND ITS NOBLE ESTATES, In accordance with Section II, Statute I, Clause IV “The Royal Diet may convene at its leisure, provided the Grand Peer or a representative thereof is present to chair the meeting, and fair notice has been given to all Noble Estates.” With the continued effect of the Great Charter of Aaun, it is necessary that national governance and representation are consistent. So in the prerogative afforded by our United Kingdom, I summon the Estate Nobility to the Parliament Building of New Vienne; whereas the proper functions of government may occur. WE SUMMON THE FOLLOWING ESTATES: His Highness, Prince Ottomar II von Alstreim, Prince of Merryweather and Lord Vandalore of the Waldenian People His Grace, Duke Leon I Barclay, Duke of Minitz, High Chieftain of the Reinmaren and Protector of the Aaunic Heartlands The Right Honorable, Margrave Louis II de Rosius, Margrave of Haute-Epine and Protector of Arentania The Right Honorable, Guinevere I von Reuss, Margravine of Velen and Protector of the Aschenwald The Honorable, Cosima von Augusten, Viscountess of Hohengarten IN NOMINE DEI His Grace, Heinrik I Sarkozic, Duke of Adria, Count of Veletzia, Baron-Consort of Aldersberg, Protector of the Aaunic South, Keeper of the Swans
  3. UPON A DIFFERENT FATE | THE AGENDA OF HEINRIK I 15th day of Horen’s Calling of 1904 ”Haec omnia habebant hoc offerre” Augustus d’Amaury’s derision after the Raze of Brelus, 1521 When the future Archduke d'Amaury rode upon the banks of the crimson Novellen River, watching the city of Brelus aflame, he stated coldly, "So this was all they had to offer." Just as the little blonde Hugo was beheaded, so too now would his beloved Adria. From thereon, our ancestors would wander aimless, the remaining men fighting under Emperor John I, but for naught, their families would continue to dwindle and their melancholy unending. This was to be the fate of Adria, washed away by time, and to join the ashes of the destroyed. One hundred and ninety years later, the spindle of fate would be cruel towards Adria again as their Golden City, Ves, burned at the hands of the betrayer Marius and the mad Emperor Antonius. Once more, this was the fate of Adria, burned twice, once in stone and once in gold. Then, the eagle roared from Adrian Sarkozic, but corruption ran too deep. The Ambition-soaked Sarkozic dreamed of himself atop the Imperial Throne, and it was achieved with the betrayal of Adria, virtually dissolving it with the demolition of Renzfeld and the forced resettlement of her people into Helena, his now jeweled imperial capital. His son, Joseph Clement' The Unworthy', proved no better; he later married to become Emperor, kept the title away from fair election out of jealousy, and dissolved it entirely. This was to be the fate of Adria, burned twice and betrayed twice. It is this fate Adria seems destined for, one of immense ruin and tragedy, yet the Adrian Dream persists untarnished. Now with the Dumapalooza of 1903, our task is different; our path shall be different. We sit at the precipice of the future. To let ourselves be defined by others and the past or strive upon a different fate. As Duke of Adria, I proclaim for the latter. Let our tenacity and hope define us. Let our great endeavor of rebuilding and rejuvenation define us. Let our willingness for reform and change, ready us for hindrances. Thus with this agenda, I intend, with the support of my people, to enact their will and declaration. Let the words of d’Amaury ring, ‘so this was all they had to offer’. For we take them with pride, all we offer is bravery, tenacity, our adoration, work for the prosperity of Adria and the commitment of our cause to GOD. Heinrik Otto var Nikolai Sarkozic Austina Prudence Sarkozic A Bannerman of the Greycloaks on patrol, circa 1903. INAUGURAL AGENDA OF 1904 THE EXPANSION OF OUR CAPITAL, VELEC The current clutter of tents forming Velec shall be transformed as bricks are inlaid and tents are lowered in favor of a township that shall be at the forefront of the refoundation of Adria. Familiar architecture from previous duchies shall return anew with an invigorated design and further development of housing so all may find a roof over their heads. THE WAYWARD PEOPLE OF ADRIA Our people are long adrift; thus, it is my mandate to regather them and those families from Adria’s past that still live. Under the auspices of St. Catherine, we open the golden door of Adria to those poor, lost and homeless. Those who yearn to breathe freedom shall have a home in our beloved Duchy. To any who wish to make a living, paid professions of different trades shall be offered. Whether that be arms, merchants, or labor, all shall share in the splendor of Adria. THE REFORMATION OF THE GREYCLOAKS Though our hopes are peaceful and stable, we must make preparations for those who have more malicious values and intend to do ill upon our people. Therefore it is a part of my agenda to reform the ancient Greycloaks of Adria. Founded by the brave Rickard Barrow, the Graycloaks fought valiantly during the Duke's War to protect Adria. Now we recommence their duty and ancient code to guard Adria and serve its people dutifully through honorable service. THE RESTRUCTURING OF THE ADRIAN DUMA AND GOVERNMENT Adria is known as the land of democracy; free and fair ideals though sometimes chaotic, always shine in Adria. Therefore in righteous reverence, we seek to resume the liberal procedures of the Duchy. Though the process shall be daunting, we strive to lay the infrastructure of righteous governance for posterity with a Constitution. Appropriate undertakings shall be made to usher in the governing Duma and continue Adria's tradition, so none no matter class, shall be left without a voice. THE CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF VELETZIA AND THE DUCHY The Lands of our Duchy are bountiful, and we must consider the past states' failure to use its advantages adequately. Therefore, farms, lumbermills, industry, and other developments shall be actively encouraged and undertaken to increase the prosperity of the devastated land. Economic and financial incentives shall be offered to bring and create commercial enterprises in Adria. By these efforts, Adria's populace will grow and become stable so no soul shall go hungry. IN NOMINE DEI His Grace, Heinrik I Sarkozic, Duke of Adria, Count of Veletzia, Baron-Consort of Aldersberg, Protector of the Aaunic South, Keeper of the Swans AVE ADRIA

  5. Heinrik Sarkozic read over the detailed biographies, producing a smile before it’d be abruptly cut short by the thought of having to write a companion novel for the Dukes “****” He simply stated.
  6. Dimlin Irongut would kneel at Dunhiem beneath the Great Statue of Belka “Dear Lade’ Belka, please grant peace and stabilite’ to Urguan. Win er lose, we are all Urguani at t’e end of t’e day.” He stated in prayer as his mind wharfed to a time where all respected the authority of the Articles and unity was sacred.
  7. Do you know a kid named finger?
  8. Heinrik Sarkozic blinks “I thought the children of von Reuss knew how to read and write by age five?”
  9. An invite would be extended to Anton Siegmund Tuyvic in accordance with the last Adrian Dumapalooza
  10. A CLARIFICATION REGARDING THE DUMAPALOOZA Issued on 5th of Horen's Calling 1897 It has come to the House of Sarkoz that two of the rules regarding the Election have caused confusion among the Electorate and must be amended accordingly for clarification. The language used was not meant to change the rules of the Election but rather simple confusion regarding the hosting seat and the nature of the Election.
  11. DUMAPALOOZA - THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM Issued on 13th of Sigismund's End 1896 The Duchy of Adria, a title often attributed to political paper, has not had lands for any of her people or kindred to coalesce for well over a century. As any good Sarkoz should, we bemoan the deprivation of a proper land to call Adria, one where we may exercise our ancient, vaunted customs. Now, we seek to re-unite those who have wandered aimlessly in this time of interregnum- not under the banner of Sarkozic, but under the banner of Adria, that which we may all claim as ours. House Sarkozic, however, invites all the remaining cadet-houses of House Carrion and those families of influence in Adria’s past to a formal Adrian Election regarding the title of our forebears. It is long past due that those of Adrian stock aim to return to the days of the Cercogstva Adrija; and we are here to retrieve one through a fair election that has been delayed, but never forgotten. There shall be drink for all, revelry, and celebration for this joyous occasion. INVITATIONS ON THE FOLLOWING RULES: 1. The Duchy of Adria shall only be elected by those Crow Elector Houses specifically named within this document. 2. The Duchy of Adria shall neither be a titular nor roaming title; it shall be bound to its allotted land within the Lower Petra known as Velezetia. it shall be bound to the allotted lands decided by the first elected Duke. 3. Although he is not required to hail from Adria proper, the elected Duke of Adria must reside primarily within the Duchy of Adria. He who neglects this duty is liable to be deposed. 4. The elected Duke of Adria may not hold any higher title, nor stand to inherit any higher title. Such candidates are hereby barred from holding the Duchy of Adria unless they renounce their previous titles or inheritance. 5. The Duchy of Adria may never be conferred, inherited, purchased, granted, or otherwise obtained through methods other than election by the Duma. House Sarkozic var Aaun invites the following Honourable Electors: THE PONTIFICAL THRONE His Holiness, Pontian IV - @Balthasar THE HONORABLE CROWS Aaun Sarkozics - @Beamon4 Balian Sarkozics - @Matheaww Barbanov - @GMRO Barbanov-Morovar - @HogoBojo Basrid - @JoanOfArc Tuyvic - @gavyn Rutherns of Hanseti-Ruska - @Demavend Rutherns of Balian - @Aehkaj Ludovar - @CopOwl Petrine Ivanovich - @excited Aaunic Ivanovich - @Calvin_ Varoche - @Enlightenment ESTEEMED PATRICIANS OF VES Bracchus - @Publius Montelliano - @TwistedFries Ren - Last descendant of Watanabe - @Moo_bot Kortrevich of Jerovitz - @Phersades De la Baltas - @monkeypoacher Ratispora - @Optimus420 Jewelbeard - @Nooblius BIRDS OF THE FEATHER & ESTEEMED GUEST Western Turkin - @Tibertastic Esteemed Guest - Ottomar von Alstreim, Last Descendant of Duke Franz Nikolai, Margrave of Vanderfell, Lord Vandalore - @Ramon Esteemed Guest - Anton Siegmund Tuyvic, Son of Duke Franz Nikolai @GMRO Esteemed Guest - Erik Euler, Architect of the Adrians @Laeonathan
  12. THE EAGLE’S FUTURE Issued on 13th of Godfrey’s Triumph, 1896 The House Sarkozic had been summoned by His Holiness, Pontian IV to the ruins of San Luciano to discuss its future. After much discourse, it was proposed to elect a head of a northern branch of Sarkozic, so Heinrik Otto var Nikolai Sarkozic and Ratibor Kazimir Sarkozic could pursue their own ambitions in the north of Almaris independent of the Sarkozics of Pompourelia. All Sarkozics present were given one vote, including the chair. Upon tie, one mina was flipped to break the tie and determine the breaking vote. IN PRESENCE WERE: His Holiness, Pontian IV Heinrik Otto var Nikolai Sarkozic Ratibor Kazimir var Nikolai Sarkozic Paul Emanuel var Nikolai Sarkozic Franz Arthur Sarkozic, Baron of Pompourelia Katerina Angelika Sarkozic var Pompourelia Laurent Frederick Sarkozic var Pompourelia Esteri Adrienne Sarkozic var Pompourelia AS SPECTATOR: Sigismond Varoche TO DECLARE HEINRIK OTTO VAR NIKOLAI SARKOZIC AS THE NORTHERN HEAD OF HOUSE SARKOZIC RESULTS DA: His Holiness, Pontian IV Heinrik Otto var Nikolai Sarkozic Ratibor Kazimir var Nikolai Sarkozic Paul Emanuel var Nikolai Sarkozic NIET: Franz Arthur Sarkozic, Baron of Pompourelia Katerina Angelika Sarkozic Laurent Frederick Sarkozic Esteri Adrienne Sarkozic RESOLUTION OF THE DRAW: COIN TOSS Symbolic for the double-headed eagle of Sarkozic, much like a double-sided coin. TAILS Sarkozic var Pompourelia HEADS Var Nikolai Sarkozic OUTCOME: HEADS CONCLUSION OF THE ELECTION: Heinrik var Otto Sarkozic declared as patriarch of the northern branch of House Sarkozic. Signed, His Holiness, Pontian IV Heinrik Otto var Nikolai Sarkozic Ratibor Kazimir var Nikolai Sarkozic
  13. Heinrik Sarkozic would simply shrug at the announcement, after all it had no real effect for in his mind his Balian cousins could do as they wish.
  14. Dimlin Irongut would very briefly stand from his bed in his former Darakaan Manor and look outside, towards reality and away from his soap opera books. His gaze shifted towards a gilded set of Legion armored, long rusted, and the Dwarf who once wore it “Well shite, ah suppose a new ‘ome defense system moig’t be best fer t’ese sort of toimes” He’d state simply, completely ignorant towards the dire state of the Kingdom. After a moment of contemplation, he’d slither back into bed, in the comfort of his books.
  15. Dimlin Irongut would sigh although this would suddenly break down into a sheer deluge of tears “Yemekar rest your soul Gildroc, and forgive me mah friend” He’d say, his regret stemming from his frequent outbursts and remarks towards Gildroc, though when all was said and done Gildroc was one of his truly loyal friends.
  16. Dimlin Irongut cries in pride of his clansman’s decisive statement “Donate to the home lads, DO IT FOR THE KIDS!, THEY WERE RAISED STUPID, T’EY CAN’T ‘ELP IT!” He’d state, breaking down in a heat of passion and tears, it would be clear the old politician’s fiery and assertive edge had waned, all that remained was a overly-emotional retiree surrounded by romance novels and cruise pamphlets.
  17. Dimlin Irongut would just blink entirely bemused by the vapid promulgation "Wait ah moment, if Ire'earts can't read 'ow t'e fock did t'ey wroite t'is......They've been lyin' THEY CAN READ!!!" He'd scream in realization by the great conspiracy that was Irehearts being able to write such a stupid declaration

  22. As issued 11th of The Grand Harvest, 2A 6 THE SIXTEEN GRAND CHAMPION OF URGUAN After the conclusion of the Grand Tournament of Urguan, Grimnir Ireheart stood at the Great Dias of the Arena of Urguan being given the sovereign question on his acceptance of the title of Grand Champion. He stated simply he intended to fight only with honor but not accept the title in any stead, thus forfeiting to Durorn Ireheart. He was given the same question with triumph “Durorn Ireheart, vested in me as Grand Marshal of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan and seeing you fit as the best example of honor and pride in Urguan. Do you accept the title of Grand Champion of Urguan, defender of the Grand King and the light of dwarven valor?” The Marshal stated simply shouting to the spectators all gazing up with envy His answer was simple. “Aye” Silence overcame the arena as the Marshal would grab Durorn’s hand bringing it up high as a sign of victory “THEN HAIL TO THE GRAND CHAMPION! NARVAK OZ DURORN NARVAK OZ URGUAN” DURORN IREHEART XVI GRAND CHAMPION OF THE GRAND KINGDOM OF URGUAN
