Adele Barlcay Early Life Frederik Aleksandr Ludovar, known through his life as Fredrick, was the eldest son of the eloped union of Aleksandr Ludovar, Duke of Kvaz, and his wife Sofiya Baruch. Born in 1748, the young Fredrick found himself in a family apathetic to his arrival. The Ludovar clan in recent years had suffered huge losses to its power and prestige- its former patriarch, Prince Jakob of Ulgaard, was castrated and shamed in a kangaroo trial orchestrated by rival families, paramount amongst them being the rising Baruch tribe. The trial hinged on the support of a traitorous kinsman: Fredrick’s grandfather, Petyr, reportedly born with a mental handicap and an intense hatred for his senior cousin. For his role in the downfall and death of Prince Jakob, Petyr’s father Henrik-Otto, the newly raised 3rd Duke of Kvaz, banished him from the family estates and disinherited him from the family fortune. However, the Duke took his young grandson, Aleksandr, as his heir and successor. Aleksandr grew to become a rash and romantic youth, swayed and controlled purely by his emotions; large mood-swings and passionate outbursts were a common occurrence, and he came frequently under scrutiny for his careless attention to contemporary moral and courtly standards. During his 16th year, Aleksandr vanished, only to reappear some four years later with deep debts and a pregnant wife. His grandfather was furious, though it unknown whether he took more offense to the mindless spending habits of his son or that he took a gentry wench named Sofiya Baruch, distant cousin of the mainline Ayr branch, as wife and future duchess. While never fully disenfranchised, Aleksandr spent most of his time away in pseudo-exile within his paltry southern townhouse, located in the lower middle-class district of the imperial capital. Born in 1748, the young Fredrik spent much of his early life in the streets of Helena and New Reza, as well as frequently visiting his cousins in the County of Ayr. But, once his father took ill, he took his position of head of house at age ten. He quickly was rushed through his schooling and took over completely after the regency ended when he turned fourteen, whereupon he summoned all the Ludovar cadets and branches and organized the dissolution of Ludovyk and pledged to restore the status of nobility to the family in the mainland [Editors Note: Ludovar had their titles stripped shortly after Duke Aleksandr’s death.] Frederick Ludovar with the Princess of Rubern before her death, Sir Mio Mackensen @Mio Frederick Ludovar with the dead corpse of the Rubern Princess as illustrated by Sir Mio Mackensen. @Mio King Sigismund, Count Frederick, and Palatine Deputy Otto the Tarcharman after the execution of the Princess of Rubern, illustrated by Isabelle Pickles @niya Career List of Battles and Events (Excluding all Scyfling Battles) 316 ES (1763 IST) - Operation Carnatia (Assassination of the Cardinal Ves) 7 Wzuvar-Byvca 317 ES (1764 IST) - First Raid of Nottingham [100 vs 100] 13 Joma-Umud 318 ES (1765 IST) - Skirmish at Rubern [150 vs 100] 22 Joma-Umund 318 ES (1765 IST) - Second Raid of Nottingham [150 vs 200] 12 Wzuvar-Byvca 319 ES (1766 IST) - Skirmish at Curon [200 vs 120] 1 Gronna-Droba 321 ES (1768 IST) - Third Raid of Nottingham [100 vs 110] 3-17 Jula-Piov 322 ES (1769 IST) - Operation Ulgaard (Kidnapping of the Princess of Rubern) Alongside the seasoned warriors of his kin, Isaak Ludovar, Reimar Ludovar and Heinrik Ludovar, he pledged his loyalty to King Sigismund II offering him many gifts. King Sigismund II in return hired the men underneath himself [Editors Note: They were allowed the only levy in the Kingdom at the time] and famously ruled the [Ludovar Trial], a mistrial. A noteworthy accomplishment of House Ludovar. Frederick named the company, the ‘Fredrik Irregulars’ or the ‘Northland Hussars’. It mainly operated as a cavalry group, similar to the Kovachev Hussars. [Editor's Note: The calvary group was used historically by Kings to be the first engagement in skirmishes and to process the Prince of Kusoraev into his coronation.] The Fredrik Irregular’s most famous mission for King Sigismund II was named the [Ulgaard Operation] and was set out to assassinate the Princess of Rubern. Without much effort, Frederick, Heinrik and Isaak infiltrated the Rubern Palace, capturing the Princess and taking her back to New Reza. It was a marvelous feat and Frederick was given the honors of killing her himself. After winning many battles and skirmishes alongside the likes of the Hounds of Johnstown, Haense Royal Army (Also called “Brotherhood of Saint Karl”) and the Imperial State Army, Frederick was given a County directly from Emperor Peter III and a sizeable fief which contained the lands of Johnstown. Frederick was also bestowed knighthood by the Emperor. Sir Frederick Ludovar accepting his lands and titles in Helena from Peter III, illustrated by Sir Mio Mackensen. @Mio This act grew tensions between the two nations and ultimately led to the Haeseni Independence. Sir Frederick Ludovar was the last Haense Lord to sign their independence from Haense because of his status within the empire. He negotiated a deal with the Emperor and the King and was able to retain his new land and his peerage and knighthood were transferred to the Kingdom of Haense. Famous dinner of the Crows, Sir Frederick and King Josef I as depicted by Sir Ionanian Mackensen @Lickspittle Johnstown Evening at Johnstown, depicted by Sir Ionian Mackensen @Lickspittle Johnstown was a fief within the Northern parts of Haense, consisting of devout zealots and farmers alike. It was the bastion of the Northland Hussars which guarded Haense famously from the Scyfling Invasions. The other Haense lords were critical of the land and rewards Frederick received and pressured King Josef to strip the Ludovars of their military company and forcilly mandate them into the Haense Royal Army. This angered the lords of Johnstown and resparked the Baruch and Ludovar feud.

Exclusive interview with Weiss peer! Page 1 House Bishop starts- and ends- cow competition? The Kingdom of Haenseti-Ruska has announced a new competition for its noble houses: the Leather Leaderboards. The competition, which has been put forth by House Bishop, challenges other houses to engage in a leather donation competition to fill the stocks of the Brotherhood of Saint Karl armory. The quartermasters of the BSK have reported a lack of leather pelts for the crafting of arms and equipment. The competition has received praise from many quarters, with House Bishop's enthusiasm for serving the kingdom being particularly noteworthy. However, not all houses are happy about the competition. Confirmed reports are circulating that some members, likely boys or teens, of House Bishop have been killing cows belonging to House Barclay, with witnesses, one requesting to go by the name of B.L., reportedly coming forward to report and confirm the crime. B.L. was able to get the attention of one of our reporters and trek down to Reinmar, and report the crime to Ser Karl, a guard of the Duchy. The Duke of Reinmar has been made aware of the issue, but has yet to make an official statement on the matter. Despite these tensions, the competition is set to go ahead. The winner will receive a prize of 1500 Mina, with the second place house receiving 500 Mina. House Bishop will not be participating in the competition itself, but will watch on with interest.

A farmer has reported a disastrous potato harvest, with small and misshapen potatoes, a low yield, and pests and rot plaguing the crops. The farmer expressed devastation and heartbreak over the failure, and hope for a more successful harvest in the future. The news has sparked concern among members of the village, who rely on the farmer for their food supply. As a farmer, I have been tasked with the important job of growing and harvesting potatoes for my village. This year, however, my potato harvest has gone disastrously wrong. The potatoes that I have so carefully tended and nurtured have failed to grow to their full potential. They are small and misshapen, lacking the plumpness and firmness that is desired in a good potato. Furthermore, the yield of my potato harvest has been much lower than expected. My fields are filled with empty patches where the potatoes should have grown, and I fear that I will not have enough to feed my family and my village. To make matters worse, the potatoes that I have managed to harvest are plagued with pests and rot. No matter how carefully I store them, they are beginning to spoil and decay. I fear that I will not be able to sell them at market, and will be left with nothing to show for my hard work and effort. Overall, my potato harvest has been a complete and utter disaster. I am devastated and heartbroken, knowing that I have failed in my duty to provide for my village. I can only hope that next year's harvest will be more successful, and that I will be able to make amends for this year's failure.
