Harren read the missive with some confusion from within Greyspine, scratching his chin, he wobbled off to find his fiancée, Adalia de Astrea. "Do vy have a clue what vyr Aedypapej is up to?" @shay

"My wrist hurts!" retorted the young Ambassador, "But da, yam glad that we will continue to protect Godani and the clergy. The Church should niet be affected by war." With glee, he then hurried home to Greyspine, and waved the Convention proudly in Adalia's face. "LOOK, MOY NAMED IT AFTER OUR HOUSE." However, the young man was so excited, either by the contents of the Convention, or from the sight of his fiancée, that tumbled backwards down the stairs. @shay

Harren laments the fact that he's getting married around the same time as his father is getting married for the second time!

"Holy **** the mad man is actually getting married?!" exclaims Franz with great surprise, though he was nevertheless eager to attend his good friend's wedding, for he loved Fionn very dearly, like one loved a brother. Franz had always had a strained relationship with his brothers, the monarch Josef, the absent manwhore Stefan, the silent Aleksandr... But in Fionn, he had found a most agreeable man, one of the few whom he considered family.

"****!" exclaims Harren, having hoped that he would have avoided participating in the Lifstala by proposing at a campaign rally, before going to kick over one of the "VOTE ADALIA DE ASTREA FOR ALDERWOMAN" signs in front of Greyspine, though, fearing retribution from the woman who was now his fiancée, quickly put it back upright.

Franz hid himself within a crowd as he read over this edition of the Hearsay, especially as he counted his own name mentioned six times! With a weary sigh, he finds solace in the fact that he was, as the Hearsay stated, running unopposed! "Dear Godan..." mumbled Harren to himself as he read over the edition, shaking his head some. "W-well... At least they spoke highly of Adalia!" "I-I'm just fascinated by armour!" claimed Lauritz, sweating profusely at the claims about his sexuality!

Hobbies: Poverty and borderline starvation. One interesting fact about yourself: My father is (allegedly)... a farmer. I don't know, my mother won't tell me. Why should Tatiana choose you?: Please, I'm starving. I just want to eat a nice meal for once, I can barely feed myself scavenging grains on the farms, and the rats steal most of my food. I just want to eat a meal for once, please, and the opportunity to live with Tatiana in Greyspine would allow me to buy new clothes and not be on the border of starvation while living in poverty.

AULIC COURT OF THE KINGDOM OF HANSETI-RUSKA Baruch, et al. z. ve Surgeon-General 4th of Joma and Umund, 370 ES Jovenaars Mr. Lauritz F. Jensen (Presiding) Lady Erika L. Kortevich (Assistant) Lady Annika A. Vyronov (Assistant) Plaintiff Lord Aldrik Baruch (on behalf of Lord Ruslan E. Baruch and Lord Alric S. Ruthern) Defense Aestenia Aevaris Lord Maric L. Ruthern (Lord Palatine) Testimonies William Carolus Aestenia Aevaris HRH Otto A. Barbanov High Pontiff Jude II THE FOLLOWING CHARGES WERE BROUGHT AGAINST THE DEFENDANT; 504.041: Where the dishonest or dishonourable conduct of one party leads to economic, reputational or physical harm to another party and such harm was a reasonably foreseeable consequence of their dishonest or dishonourable conduct, the offending party shall be obliged to pay damages to the injured party in an amount determined by the Court; THE FOLLOWING IS THE VERDICT BROUGHT BY THE JOVENAARS; Jovenaar Jensen, joined by Kortrevich and Vyronov; The Defendant, the Surgeon-General, Aestenia Aevaris, is found guilty on the charge of tort in the form of reputational harm in regards to Lord Matyas Baruch, but not guilty on the charge of tort in the form of reputational harm in regards to Ser Viktor Rauen. The Defendant shall be required to pay 1500 mina in damages to Lord Ruslan Baruch. THE FOLLOWING IS THE RATIONALE FOR THE DECISION FROM THE PRESIDING JOVENAAR; On the charge of Tort in regards to Lord Matyas Baruch; Jovenaar Jensen delivered the opinion of the court: According to the witness testimony of the Defendant herself, she did not receive the consent for the autopsy, nor the cremation, of Lord Matyas Baruch, as is legally required as per Section 414.02 of the Haurul Caezk (in this, the Aulic Court does interpret defacement to include the cremation of the body). Despite the fact that the body had been in the morgue for over a year, the Defendant never once attempted to contact the family of the deceased to get them to pick up the body, citing that it was “not her obligation” to do so. Subsequently, the Defendant proceeded to cremate the body, once more without asking for the consent of the deceased’s family. No matter the duration a body has been left in the morgue, it is required that consent be given for an autopsy and for the cremation of the body. The Defendant’s Legal counsel then tried to appeal that, if the body had not been cremated, it could potentially have caused the outbreak of a plague within the city of Karosgrad, however, it is the belief of the Aulic Court, that such a plague would also have been avoidable if the Surgeon-General had not been negligent in her duties, and simply notified the families to pick up the bodies before they fell into a state where they would run the risk of spreading disease across the Capital. The Aulic Court does view that the Defendant caused reputational damage to not only Lord Matyas Baruch, but also the entire House of Baruch, by preventing them from being able to hold a proper Canonist burial for the deceased, thus preventing them from following their duties as respectful Canonists, which is supported by a letter from the High Pontiff, and therefore finds the Defendant guilty of tort. On the charge of Tort in regards to Ser Viktor Rauen; Jovenaar Jensen delivered the opinion of the court: As Ser Viktor Rauen was a Knight of the Marian Retinue, with no family nor will, the Crown is viewed to have been the first and foremost authority in regards to his autopsy and cremation. Whether or not approval was received for this cremation, it would be upon the Crown to direct the Office of the High Justiciar to conduct an investigation and subsequent summons for this, and not upon that of a private individual with no authority to do so. Therefore, the Defendant is not found guilty of tort. It is so ordered.

"WOO! YEAH! YOU CAN DO IT HONEY!" screeches Harren supportively, despite being away in the Haeseni Embassy in Oren, he hopes that Adalia would hear him.

"Oh, well, I guess I know who I'm voting for then!" Proclaimed Harren thusly to Adalia, perhaps a little upset that he was missing out on the thrill of the campaign trail. "A-and you too, of course!" He quickly added in.

"Dobry Alderman Candidate, **** squire." Remarks Franz Barbanov, mentor to Aleksandr.

SENSE AND SENSIBILITY ANOTHER TERM FOR MAER BARBANOV Maer Franz Barbanov during a Session of the Royal Duma, circa 368 ES. THE HISTORY OF FRANZ BARBANOV: Franz Barbanov, born in New Reza in 330 ES, is the youngest son of Koeng Sigismund II. He joined the HRA as soon as he reached the age of fourteen, led the Haeseni Expedition that discovered the continent of Almaris at the age of sixteen, and became a squire soon thereafter. He became a Knight of the Order of the Crow in 359 ES, given the moniker of “the Oracle.” He has served as the Grand Maer of Karosgrad since 355 ES, the first Maer elected upon the continent of Almaris. He has been the most prolific Maer in the history of Hanseti-Ruska, issuing a total of eight Edicts during his four terms, and passing and introducing the most Duma Bills during his four, totalling 17 bills. For his efforts as Grand Maer, he was granted the rank of Kossar within the Order of Queen Maya and the Lily in 364 ES. THE POLICIES OF FRANZ BARBANOV: Franz Barbanov has, for his entire career within the Duma, been a proponent of a political ideology based around “Sense and Sensibility,” legislation that is built around simple and good judgements, while also building on empathy for all subjects of the Crown. This policy has led to the most prolific career within recent history in the Duma, with a total of 17 passed Duma Bills, and many more co-sponsored, like the Duma Reforms penned by himself and Sir Konrad Lauritsen. As Grand Maer, Franz Barbanov has promoted the usage of Maer Edicts to a greater extent than any other Maer in the history of Hanseti-Ruska, and has managed to successfully change what it means to be Maer. He, for one, began the process of paying the medical professionals of Hanseti-Ruska, and decreed the construction of roads to connect all the vassals of the Kingdom to the capital of Karosgrad. It is the sincerest hope of Grand Maer Franz Barbanov that the electorate of Hanseti-Ruska will elect him for a fifth term, in which the Kingdom can continue down the path of Sense and Sensibility.

Franz briefly re-reads the Hearsay, though his attention was predominantly locked on Natalia Kovachev. He breathes a sigh of relief at the tame writings about him!

Franz briefly reads over the Hearsay, though his attention was predominantly locked on that of the Duma. He breathes a sigh of relief as nothing was written of him, but frowns some at the article about Stefan!

hey gmro, just letting you know that this is an ama (ask me anything) and as such anything put on this thread should be phrased as a question, which your comment was not. please follow appropriate guidelines next time. anyway, what is your grand plan as story admin, dingo of the screaming sort?

In, out, in, out. Every exhale clouded the mirror in cold mist on this winter's night, the windows to his chambers left open to allow the breeze to stroll throughout the room. Nevertheless, it was that same scenario he had been in so many times before, staring at himself in the mirror. He didn't look as tired as he did a few years ago, in fact, he had started to forget. But then it came back, like a shattering glass ceiling it fell upon him, the suffering that every generation of humanity was cursed to go through. Franz had promised Isabel she would live to see three monarchs, and so she had, Sigismund II, Josef, and Henrik II. His father, his brother, his nephew. Yet, in truth, he had always hoped that his promise was wrong, that she would live longer than that. But there she was, crashing against the floor in the middle of court to all to see. It was not what Isabel had deserved, she had deserved a far better passing. A quiet one, at an old age, surrounded by her children and grandchildren, perhaps even great grandchildren. But fate was a cruel mistress, and would always be so. Humanity and suffering were intertwined, and would always be so until their very last days. He was going to miss her, more than anyone else he had lost so far.

A response is penned to the Surgeon-General, bearing the symbol of the Aulic Court: "To the Surgeon-General, It is the unanimous decision of the Jovenaar assigned to the trial of Baruch, et al. z Surgeon-General, that, despite the pleas of the Surgeon-General, there is no reason for us to not allow this summons to go to trial. If all things are as the Surgeon-General claims, we do presume that the Surgeon-General would be able to prove such in front of the court. Additionally, there is no precedent, neither set by the Aulic Court, nor by the Haurul Caezk, that the Aulic Court is able to dismiss a trial. Lauritz F. Jensen, Presiding Jovenaar of Baruch, et al. z. Surgeon-General."

"Papej, please stop. You've been doing that for hours." says Franz to that ghastly spectre of a father.

SUMMONS TO APPEAR BEFORE THE AULIC COURT KRUSAE ZWY KONGZEM This Summons, issued on 11th Vzmey and Huff, 368 ES by Harren A. Ruthern and Tatiana L. Ruthern and represented by Aldrik Baruch, Compels the Aulic Court to call upon Konstantin Wick to appear before it and answer the following charges: 504.041: Where the dishonest or dishonourable conduct of one party leads to economic, reputational or physical harm to another party and such harm was a reasonably foreseeable consequence of their dishonest or dishonourable conduct, the offending party shall be obliged to pay damages to the injured party in an amount determined by the Court; Arisen from these circumstances: During the Game Show “Who Wants to be a Minaniare?”, particularly during the bomb round, both Harren Ruthern and Tatiana Ruthern of Team 3 managed to answer the question, “Who popularized the Game Werheg?” (the answer to which was Lauritz Christiansen) before the bomb exploded, yet the host, Konstantin Wick, still reduced twenty-five points from their score. This caused them to eventually lose the game, despite them having answered the question in time. It must also be noted that they were never given four options for the answer (as specified in the rules of the game). The winning team, Team 2, had 615 points, while Team 3 (containing the Rutherns), had 610 points, the difference being less than 25. This means that the illegal reduction of 25 points caused the Rutherns to lose the game, as they otherwise would have had a 20 point lead. I swear the contents of this Summons to be true and accurate to the best of my belief before Godan. Signed, Harren Ruthern garentoft#1980 Tatiana Ruthern Juli#9597 Aldrik Baruch Pureimp#4596
