Nice april fools joke.

Ahmed Al Kharouf would tend to his herd of goats while he would multitask and read the missive. With haste he would write a missive and attach it to his messenger goat, sent to Sir Gaspard. Written in the missive would be the following. @M1919 " Personally if that was me... I would not take that. (P.S Do you have any goats to trade?) - Ahmed Al Kharouf "

FROM KING TO KING-SLAYER Anno Domini 1952 ☩ ☩ ☩ Frederick Aurelian would hurriedly pack a bindle with a select amount of weapons and hunting gear, with enough food to last a month, a wide assortment of liquor and his prize possession the ICON OF EXALTED OWYN. He would wrap the bindle tightly and ensure that he had sufficient minas in his pouch before running out of Castle Aurelian and straight for Winburghs marketplace in search of a horse. With his leave, a note would also be left on the castle throne. To my son Richard, You must now be aware of today’s events but I wish for you to hear it from me. Today I had rallied a group of our most loyal bannerman, unaware initially until it was too late that the actions I committed today would be treason. To kill the bloody cripple and the two degenerates that assist him. This was my only option to stop the cripple from proceeding with his incompetence. I apologize for doing this all during your travels, taking the men who risked their lives on a cause that could lead to their death. But we were successful, the cripple was killed and his aides' necks were cut open. But my actions have led me to this current event of announcing my leave. I soon will be banished, either by your hand or by the next Protector of Aaun. Nonetheless, I am not a simple man to be killed. If the Acreans were unable to kill me, neither would the Alstions. But use this letter I write to you, to prove your innocence; I am the reason behind Edmund the Cripple and Heinrich Lothar's death. I had never informed you of such actions to keep you from any trouble to come, but I wish to make this letter to ensure that others know. This was not my initial attempt on the bloody fool's life. It seemed the failed attempt in which the hired assassins were unable to kill him as he fell off the pit was money not well spent. But once again, I had not informed you of my plans during that assassination attempt. Neither did I order Baldrick to assault the king but out of sheer coincidence, that had worked out in our advantage. I had recognized that paying assassins would not result in the cripples death, in which I took it into my own hands and rallied men without any knowledge to commit an action to end a tyranny that is needed. The cripple fell. I am sorry, Richard for my actions but I hope that Aaun may strive with three less degenerates. To all those in anger of my actions. Catch me if you can. Frederick Aurelian would tuck the Icon of Exalted Owyn deep into his satchel as he went to place his belongings on top of the horse he had bought in Winburgh. He would climb its stirrups, with a slight grin on his face. He looks to the nearest group of people before saying; “ Want to hear a joke? ” “ I once thought a Cripple and a Ginger could run a kingdom but… ” His newly bought horse would suddenly rear its front legs, causing him to almost fall off. He would quickly regain balance, before the horse would rush into a gallop. The joke never finished… SIGNED, Frederick Aurelian, King-Slayer

UNJUSTIFIED AND JUSTIFIED Anno Domini 1952 ☩ ☩ ☩ TO THE GOOD FOLK OF THE HEARTLANDS, In spite of the efforts of those who forged the Heartland Accords, it seems the Heartlands have yet again been plunged into turmoil. Despite the weakness which plagued their armies and which ails their cities, the moves of the Petran Crown against those who were once considered their allies have only grown bolder since leaving our binding alliance. Just earlier this Saint’s Day, three of the men of Stassion ventured into the Petran Capital city of Vallagne, presumably to see what festivities the otherwise lifeless capital might have to offer. Despite having opened the gates of Vallagne to allow the men of Stassion passage into the city, a group of Petran Knights apprehended the party shortly thereafter without provocation, violently taking Sir Tristand Dresnay, the Baron of Valcour, for interrogation. Though Sir Tristand answered their various unwarranted questions honestly and truthfully, the knights of Petra were unconvinced of his good intentions and sought to make an example of the man. Those barbarians they call knights first considered taking his head as tribute, but reason prevailed as they recognized the folly of such a bold action without the backing of a competent and well organized army to support their stupidity. Thus did the Knights of Petra settle to instead break the man’s hand, with the intention of sending a message to the March of Stassion. What these actions show is that what they did was; UNJUSTIFIED. This message was received and answered by the men of the March in full. With a swift response, the March sent out scouts, in search of any of the so-called ‘powerful’ nobles of Petra, only to find a member of the von Theonus’ family. The man was unknown to many, seeing as the family breeds faster than rabbits. All the same, the men of Stassion brought the man with the same gesture as the Petrans had allowed Sir Tristan and his men into the city of Petra. While the Theonus lay in our halls, enjoying the liquor drank by the pissants, our guests from Veletz arrived. Sir Gaspard and his party entered the room and questioned the Petran noble’s presence. Upon providing the men with the answers they sought, there was but one remaining question— why does the noble still live. The response—“We waited for an audience”. And with it one less Petran noble lived. What these actions show is what we did was; JUSTIFIED. Frederick Aurelian

Frederick Aurelian patiently waits for Stassion to get blamed for Adrian 'the Weak' being incapable at holding onto a woman. He would begin to pen a letter as any 81-year old eligible bachelor would, it starts with 'To Her Royal Majesty Andromeda' he would write with a grin.

AN INNOCENT’S JUSTICE Anno Domini 1948 A PROMISE OF A DEBT TO BE REPAID A THOUSANDFOLD P R O M I S S I O R E D D E R E D E B I T V M M I L L I E S "Let his death go not in vain, blood must be repaid with blood.” Richard Stassion to his Council ☩ TO THE GOOD FOLK OF THE HEARTLANDS, The unfortunate news of the recent murder of Louis Dresnay, a teenager, a brother, a son, a member of Stassion, a citizen of Aaun. The fact that a teenager entered Haense with no threats, physical nor verbal but as a simple young man to attend the Haense Court with a childish joke as children do. To only be then murdered by the weak-minded King of Haense. The same King who proclaims to be a pious and well-worth King, to slaughter a child in the midst of his barren court and then blame his murder on a possible plot from Heartlanders. But let it be known, this act of unjust violence will not go unnoticed nor will it be forgotten so easily as it is done within the lands off the Highlanders. Louis was not just a member of Stassion but friends among many within the Heartlands, from our neighbors in Drusco to the city of Winburgh and more. As a teenager would never be a threat to those with proper thinking and common sense. There seems to be a lack of proper thinking and common sense within Haense. If our hate must stray away from the degenerates of Balian to the child-murderers of Haense, then so be it. Stassion will not stoop to the levels of killing women or children, but understand this clearly, and individuals who defend the Kingdom of Haense let it be through allegiances or through the bearing of their tabards or weapons will face justly revenge. Blood for Blood.

Frederick smiles upon seeing Louis Dresnay with his men to his side coming closer to him "For new beginnings, for more growth." He'd say to himself as he welcomes Louis with open arms

Not officially part of this group, but I have done a lot of RP with them. They are an extremely large community and completely deserve getting their own realm setup. Would create great RP for the whole server.

Frederick Aurelian would be cheering as he would dump all of Vivienne's clothes outside the castle "She is finally out! About time!" Shouting would be heard from the background "Father, she still has nearly two years before the wedding occurs!"

Frederick Aurelian would be sitting in the Feast Hall having a conversation with the Count @Timer "Ill-spawn! Quite ironic for a doomed man to say. Stassion will be coming and with it Valogne and Pompourelia!" he would chuckle.

Frederick Aurelian would be standing at the front Castle Aurelian before seeing figures coming from the distance, he would then shout "The Sarkozic's of Pompourelia have arrived." he would state with grin on his face.

"May Baron Rickard as he has done so already in his lands, but with it grow his lands and uphold his duties as not just a Knight but now Baron!"

ON THE NAMING OF STASSION Issued and confirmed by, THE PATRIARCH OF STASSION Anno Domini 1943 TO ANY INTERESTED PARTY, It has come to our attention that not only the Ferryman but many others have voiced their issue on aspects of Orenia and Novellen, and have listed the Kingdom of Aaun in the same standards as off Balian. To have seen the comparison of our own noble estate being placed on the same standing as those who reside in and lead Balian made us recognize the standards in which many have viewed us. Let it be known that Stassion does not claim anything related to Oren and has no intention to follow or create such. Our history may be related to the former Kingdom but the beliefs and the culture that are connected to such an entity are not something that Stassion will even consider to entertain. We shall not stoop to the levels of the degenerate leaders of Balian to contest for Orenia nor do we wish to claim to be called Novellen, knowing that we can be considered to have any relation to such pigs. THEREFORE, LET IT BE KNOWN: I — We do formally announce, as the mainline of the House of Novellen, that from this day henceforth the name shall be defunct and destroyed. Just as our ancestors of the House of Horen before us once did, we now lay the name to rest, to be confined to the pages of history. II — We do formally announce that, although our household is derived from the House of Novellen, we will be recognized as The House of Stassion. Like the Novellens before us, we too shall take the name of our ancestral palace, Stassion, from which our household originates. While we will accept that our ancestors were of the House of Novellen, we do hereby promulgate that generation of Frederick Aurelian and onward will bear the name of Stassion. III — We do formally announce that any who wish to continue to claim the name of Novellen, such as Adrian ‘the Weak’, shall be seen as nothing more than pretenders. We do hereby denounce any claim to the name Novellen and will regard any who attempt to do so as pigs worthy of the slaughter. We further announce that we will also join with those who believe that repercussions are necessary. To a personal message to Adrian ‘the Weak’ and any of those who wish to follow, claim what you wish. Stay in your keep with the guards which you count on but a single hand. If you wish to continue to insult us as you have done countless times. If that is the route you wish to take, let it be known. Stassion will be coming.

Frederick grins at the release off the new treaty, he'd stare upon the lands of Stassion before looking to his son Richard @Optimus420 "It has started. Let us greet them with open arms."

RALLY FOR WAR Issued and confirmed by, THE COUNTY OF STASSION 12th of Owyn’s Flame, 1938 TO THE CANONISTS OF AEVOS, Through are peaceful times in these lands so far, a horrid news has struck us which many are aware of already. But with it, action must be taken. The news of Father Stanislaw’s kidnapping and defiling his GOD given body. Father Stanislaw, being a local Priest who gave blessed sermons to our denizens will never be forgotten as with it he has made us more pious, a debt that can never be repaid in our lifetime. He is, to this moment, being tortured by cruel heathens. I call for any able-bodied warriors to rally with us, to begin the conquest on the annihilation for all those heathens and daemons that have sided in the aid and capture of Father Stanislaw and the torture that has been committed on him. I vow to ensure that when these devils are caught or killed, that they are ensured the lowest pits of the Void so their suffering will continue. Our lands will be willing to house and begin preparations for this conquest of annihilation and we invite all those who wish to stand with us, in the rescue of Father Stanislaw to join with us in these times to prepare for a war. As we may face many battles, and many more to come, canonist lives will always need to be protected. IN NOMINE LEONIS Frederick Aurelian

Merlin the Wizard would scratch his stomach before packing his entire belongings into a bindle "On my way to this Prince Fedder fellow! Merlin needs to offer his services!"

Merlin the Wizard would announce "I am a fourth-party. I wish to hire them for 1 minas! I still have not yet acquired such vast amounts of wealth yet to afford that price but I can pay in installments!"

Merlin the Wizard would be distraught upon hearing their was a fight he missed in which could sell his services "My minas... I need more!"

5th of Amber Cold, 1899 Frederick Aurelian positioned himself in the midst of a small skirmish, yet the situation proved dire for the Novellen. Recently he had united with a mercenary group for this battle, but his blunder was to pursue its inexperienced commander. Subsequently, it had now ushered Frederick to face a daunting ambush of a battalion of spearmen in front of men. In a swift motion, he immediately parried a lunge from a spearman before sauntering forward and piercing the soldier in his chest. Bathing in a shortened glimpse of glory and advance, the male discovered himself tackled downwards brutally and propounded a mouth brimmed of grit and dirt. The flavour deemed bitter and impure, exceedingly akin to the spoils of fleeting conflict. In a rigid and flailing moment, Frederick’s sword flung - rendering him solely unarmed. Rising valiantly to knee level, a riling palm scrambled and scratched unrelentingly at the muddied floor in search of his weapon. His leverage. The soldier distinctly did not seek to capitulate the stout countenance he rallied and wrought, for grimed arms began to grapple with the Novellen. A rapid reaction transpired in Frederick and, once more, a set of palms attempted to scavenge for his sword upon the crimson floor of battlehood. As a result, the male could only locate a tattered shield, in which he clasped and functioned such as a gauntlet. The shield, sorrowfully, did not have time to be acquainted with its new owner for it persisted forwards to smash upon the soldier’s visage. Cranium-on. A newfound sensation of adrenaline pumped amongst the blood of Frederick as the shield continued to maul its face until the piercing sound of bones crushing and grinding ceased. Laced with a cavernous sigh of repose hindered from Frederick, he shot a glower at this tattered, wearied shield that had halted the threat to his life. An impression of vigorous recognition embraced the blood splattered male, for etched upon the shield lay the sigil of Lorraine. He only had his studies of when he was but a juvenile to thank. A quizzical frown began to seek refuge upon the perimeter of Fredericks dirtied visage, before instantly regaining all senses. Abruptly, he gripped the nearest sword he could observe. Only then did Frederick advance forth, both the tattered shield of Lorraine and the muddied sword tightly gripped betwixt carmine digits. He had to recommence the fight. The Lotharingian Company was first formed in Aeldin, serving as mercenaries for various kingdoms and settlements in an attempt to solve lordly or political disputes within the realms of Marna and Ulmsbottom. With countless unimportant battles being fought in the lands of Aeldin, Frederick believed the value of the company should be shifted back to his homelands, and to the lands of Almaris. The Lotharingian Company, many of whose soldiers consist of a hybrid culture of Orenian and Savoyard, is formed to unite the followers of Frederick Aurelian in these troubling times. The company will be used for both the protection and war efforts in which the soldiers within the company are for hire. Albeit the company is made of the remnant followers of the Kingdom of Oren, the intention of the group is on the followings and beliefs of Lucienism and avenging the death of King Frederick and establishing a homeland within the realm of Almaris. “I shall find a path, or I shall forge one myself” - Augustus d’Amaury The company fights together as one group, as one army and with it the differences in ranks is bare to none. With only one clear defined leader, the officers are exceptional soldiers within the company but with no official rank that is higher. But with their exceptional standard comes the respect of all the other soldiers within the company. The Medal of the Iron Duke This medal is only awarded to soldiers within the company who have shown great leadership in battle, and that has led the company to victory. Those who are awarded the Medal of the Iron Duke, prove to be of great leadership capabilities. The Medal of Arpad This medal is awarded to those company members who through months of arduous training in the blade finally have an opportunity to display the fruits of said training, proving their hand at the blade through tournaments and either in battles or duels against foes in greater number or skill then themselves. These soldiers prove to be formidable soldiers in the midst of combat and customarily are the ones to be placed in the vanguard or in the rearguard position during or following a retreat. The Medal of Frederick Charles This medal is awarded posthumously to the fallen company soldiers who performed the greatest sacrifice and forsook their lives in the pursuit of their duty, dying heroically for the sake of their fellow soldiers who shall stride to follow in their example. Only on the rarest and most extreme occasion shall this medal be awarded to those soldiers that perform a sacrifice nearing the feat of those who passed. The medal is to accompany the fallen member of the company at their place of burial, though not all fallen company soldiers shall receive this honor. Meet with our soldiers within the company Peter Pruvia (lucass#9369) to ensure your enlistment within the Lotharingian Company.
