[!] A New Age of Change [!]

A painting depicting the city upon the arriving of the Sauvageots.

The Second Part to an Overarching Story.

It was the next day since the family had returned home to Aedro. The family was torn by the loss, still mourning for the late prince. Their arrival to the citizens brought worries that they might force all under a new prince once more. Though it was not all bad, as the family did bring the new-found wealth that was discovered in the descendants’ land. After hearing the city streets begin to make a bustling noise, Jean Sauvageot walked out of the old Rosier palace to speak with the citizens, finding out all that had happened since the plague had once forced them out of their land. After speaking to a few of the merchants and townsfolk Jean came to the conclusion that the plague had forced Adren, Matria, and Larne to merge all into Rosenyr. What had once been four principalities all merged together in a single landmass came down to all being confined in one city. The mass population killed by the plague. Jean then began to speak around asking who was leading, how the city managed to stay strong when the others left scared of dying by the plague. Jean had come to the conclusion that the population was now run by the people, a small group of leaders elected by the people formed into a small parliament. Once figuring this out Jean quickly ran back to his family, making sure to tell him all of what he had found letting them know that they were welcomed, but the people were hesitant to have a prince once more. Yet, luckily for Jean, his father was already once elected by the people albeit in a new land. After a few days of parliament meeting, they decided to meet with the family upon signing into law a new constitution one that allowed the people to elect a leader but also left the ruling family power so that they too may help lead the people. The power where the Rosnian Prince was still above all but, the people had a vote and a voice….

[!] The Journey [!]

[!]

A ship depicting the journey to Aedro

The first part of an overarching story!

It was the day after Ser Jacques “le fondateur” Sauvageot had been slaughtered by the Empire. His wife Belle and three sons, Jean, Lumiere, and Valentin and daughter Marie, along with Jacques sister, the grand chevalier, Dame Noemie “la honnête” Sauvageot, prepared themselves for the long journey ahead of themselves, to make the trip back to Aedro from where they came from. After saying goodbye, the family, fortunately with more food and jewels from the new land, would be going back to the once plagued land of Aedro. The people had once left the land because of the plague that spread upon it. Now after time, it would be gone and the family could reforge and claim the land for themselves because of the downfall of the Rosier family. The sea was calm, the waves not much as it took two months to reach their lands. Upon arriving at Aedro, the Sauvageot family found themselves in the old city of Matia, completely ruined by the plague and war that had gone down upon the land. Upon trailing around the island they found themselves upon the bustling capital of Rosenyr, the once crowned jewel to the Rosier family now seen fully capable of running themselves the people leading instead of a crowned prince. Upon docking the ships the people quickly rushed to find that instead of a Rosnian prince arriving it was the honorable chevalier family. Upon explaining what had happened in the descendants’ land, the people did not know what to expect. The family in ruins, the last of the Rosnian people to survive the new world, had now found themselves in a city that had no real leader. The people told the Sauvageot they may reside in the palace until the people could decide what to do, now that there was a new Prince back in the city….

The Eiriksson Seal would be found stamped upon the letters sent out to all Ruric’s.

(If you are not a Ruric please don’t respond or metagame.)

“ To my family,

Although my father was not the best man, he did his best with what he was handed. Soon after arriving with the Eiriksson’s return, his father went away on a trip, and slowly the Eirikssons vanished with him the last in the city. Upon hearing the issues of the Realm after the building of See’s landing he went out to farm the fields of Lunsbeck hoping that he could do his part to support the people of Norland providing the wheat for all of the realms to provide bread for the less fortunate. My father was a kind yet generous man always doing what he thought would help others before himself. He took care of my brother Frode, and my sister Estrid. Upon the last days of his life, his ‘wife’ kicked him out for not having intercourse with her. She went to Halvar telling him of the misdeeds he had done. Instead of caring what he had done for the people of Lunsbeck she denounced him because he would rather help than have intercourse with her. I hope with writing this letter I am able to lighten the mood upon my father’s last days in the city of Morsgrad. Torn about his daughter running away writing how she felt in her journal, how the city had mistreated her for being an Eiriksson, how the faith thought of her as a lesser. She felt that only the King himself actually treated her like a real person. If you are reading this dear Sister please return home. I cannot do this alone. Our father has left big shoes to fill and I hope that I may be able to do his part unless any of the other Eirikssons wish to return and take his place. I hope that with enough guidance I can put claim upon the old island of Mournstone that I can keep our families Ash Tree alive and healthy while establishing our manor with the help of a few others. I believe we may be growing some grapes. ”

-Signed, Vyktor Eiriksson II

[!]

The Eiriksson Estate where the letter was sent from.

Nivoren Telperion looked at the missive still in his home as he sighed. His electric blue eyes looking to his wife. ”This is not the Silver-State I remember. Let us hope Purity still stands.”

-The Adreni-

For centuries the strong willed and hardworking Ardreni have been the backbone of the Realm of Aedro through their agriculture. They are not only relegated to farming however, as they are also considered the artists of Aedro. Often viewed as the most kind and helpful in all the continent, they carry an unusual altruism to them rarely seen anywhere else. 

‣The Sacking of Adren

Between Rosenyr and Matria sat the city of Adren. In the hopes of moving the border of Matria, the power hungry prince declared war upon the working city of Adren. This slow, gruelling war at first seemed to be frozen in a stalemate. This spurred the Matrian prince to ally with the Rosnian prince, bringing an abrupt, swift end to the war and claiming the land for the Matrians and Rosnians. The following sack of the city was the worst attack in history against the Adreni, committed during this bloody war with the Matrians and Rosenyr.

‣The Faith of Aedro

Unsurprising for the most religious people in the land, The Ardreni established the faith that would be worshiped throughout all of Aedro once all the four principalities were united under Rosenyr. The faith worships many gods suc Heruparkraat, the god of war. 

https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/178084-the-faith-of-rosenyr/

‣The Way of Life

Working has always been essential to the lives of the Adren people. This mindset was reflected in their fashion, often seen in basic clothes and soft colors made to resist the wear and tear of working on a farm. This simplicity can be deceiving however, as there are notable Adreni people known to be master musicians and poets, along with the occasional few who have become actors and actresses. Although most live life dedicated to their agriculture, they also commit themselves to benevolence, spending their day to day life eager to help all they may come across.

-The Matrians-

The Matrian’s date back soon after recorded history began within the Realm of Adreo, home of the Rosnian people. The Matrian’s originate from the Principality of Matria most notable for their achievements during war often seen as the fighters of the realm. Due to the savage ways the folk are seen as brutal fierce warriors that stain their name.

‣The Way of Life

  The Matrian people commonly wear their iron or leather armor around for daily life always prepared for battle. Many smiths and leather workers are seen throughout the city preparing new gear or repairing it from previous battles. Matrian war heroes are often worshiped and put up on pedestals.

‣Crowning of the Matrian Prince

For the Matrian people their prince has always been the best fighter out of their principality. Most Matrian princes have been depicted as war heroes who come home from a victory and challenge the current ruling prince to an honor duel often causing the prince title to change to different families frequently.

‣The Hundred Year War

The Hundred Year War is often depicted as the downfall to the Matrian’s greed. The war started with Matria sending a full on assault against the Lyrani people. The peaceful folk of Larine had no chance against the militaristic principality of Matria, Larine quickly falling to the Matrians. The second part of the war was when the Principality of Rosenyr sent a full force against Matria. Although Matria split between two cities was not prepared to defend. The city was able to create a stalemate making the war last longer than it was needed. Matria having enough time to send word for their troops to return home to defend their own city. Unfortunate for the people was the Rosnians outsmarted the city by sending troops by their coast attacking the city from two fronts leaving Matria in rubble forcing a surrender under Roseynr. This led to the united Realm of Aedro.

Its stated that their favour of axes comes back to Karina Lunner's great grandmother, who supposedly took an axe into battle that induced her with rage, and that Karina's Great grandfather shot a stringless bow, that left a trail of ash behind.

 The Lunnik harvest festival is an annual celebration that occurs around the time of the main harvest of a given region. Given the differences in climate and crops around Lunsbeck, the Lunnik harvest festival typically features feasting, both family and public, with foods that are drawn from crops that come to maturity around the time of the festival. Ample food and freedom from the necessity to work in the fields are two central features of harvest festivals: eating, merriment, contests, music and romance are common features of the Lunnik harvest festivals around the world.

Vyktor places a hand over his heart after his fiance’ read this to him. “Ave Norland, Iron From Ice. May the Father’s light guide them.” He would say as he began to get back to his duties in Lunsbeck discussion plans with his fiance’.

Snagga For Sale Start the Biddings NOW!!!!!!

Vyktor looks at this after someone read this to him. "How interestin seems teh King be a servant to teh Queen." 

Ser Uther Grimlee ‘The Old’ smiles from the Seven Skies as his clan is reformed once again. “The All-Father will be pleased to hear of our clan reformation once more.”

Gonzalo de Castro rolls in his grave from hearing that what was once Courland and defeated by Santegia is now renamed. “Oh how the Stauntons Fall again” He would say with a chuckle to his family in the Seven Skies.

Vyktor Eiriksson thinks to himself after he got someone to read this letter. He would then speak to the said person. “No they go back on there word. Sounds like Courland from teh times o SeaHelm.”
