"Torugr, FRIEND NOT FOOD. Fifteen great-grandson of Peter." Otto gestures to the royal infant "Majesty, make sure he knows-" He bowed to the Queen-Consort before leaving the palace. Otto hoped the young heir wouldn't meet a swift end by the belly of Tor'rug.@yopplwasupxxx@sarahbarah

"A great argument as always." Otto smirks as he reads over the document.

"Prepare the hussars, we march again," Otto Ludovar declares with a solemn nod as he learns of the impending march on Stassion. His orders echo through the castle, and the sound of armor clinking fills the air. "Southward we go, no time to waste," he adds, his voice carrying a determined tone.

Otto Ludovar prepares his agenda for the next meeting of duma.

THE KVAZI HUSSARS

“Golden Hussars”

“Asereo Zakiskmavr Ildanz”

Motto of Golden Hussars

“We Defend Our Homes”

The Northland Brigade Golden Hussars is a corps of cavalry operating with the Brotherhood of Saint Karl, composed entirely of light spear-wielding horsemen known as Hussars. Raised by order of Koeng Sigmund II in 320 ES, the company was tasked with the defense and protection of the western frontier of Slesvik, drawing its recruits jointly from the Low Marian settlers and the Kusokarovian natives of Johnsland (the area encompassing Johnstown and surrounding hamlets). Now, the brigade defends the Kingdom from foreign raids and is stationed on top of Mount Sigismund. Because of the sprawling wilderness and lack of proper infrastructure (such as roads), the company operates primarily in loose formation, able to cross rugged and alpine terrain over long distances while acting as scouts and riders.

I have known Nathan (Raijen) for over a year now. He played with me in Sedan and Haense. I can first hand say that he is one of the nicest people I have ever met on this server. He is always willing to listen and to try to make everyone happy. That being said, he will bring something to the moderation team that I feel like it lacks, compassion. With that and all my other biased reasons for supporting this applications, +1.

VA BIRODEO HERZENAV E ELDERVIK, 

With newly formed foreign threats encroaching on the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska, I, Otto Ludovar, deem it fit to reinstate the Robertian Initiative in this time of strife and uncertainty. It is the duty of all nobility to donate to their Kingdom and ensure its survival.

Therefore, under the responsibilities and powers vested in me as the Patriarch of Barbanov-Ludovar and as Lord Speaker of the Realm, I declare the following:

• That the noble House of Barbanov-Ludovar, and its pedigree, swears their undying loyalty to His Royal Majesty, Aleskandr II, Koeng of Hanseti-Ruska and to his heirs that succeed him afterwards.

• The House of Barbanov-Ludovar, sponsored by the Royal Ludovar Mining Company and the Ludovar Foundation, provide a considerable sum of raw and processed materials both to the Aulic Government and to the Brotherhood of Saint Karl respectively, for their future projects and greater war efforts.

• Every mineral mined has been mined by the Royal Ludovar Mining Company in Isaakev, Otistadt and the surrounding areas.

• The following shall be distributed to the Brotherhood of Saint Karl and the Aulic Government.
  • 10,368 bars of ferrum ingots (or 162 units or three crates)
  • 3,456 bars of daemonsteel ingots (or 54 units or one crate)
  • 384 leather pelts (6 units)

• The House of Barbanov-Ludovar reaffirms its total support of the Crown of Hanseti-Ruska, in military, economic, and political ventures.

To the Reader,

Countless species roam the highlands; from the animals of the plow to the beasts of the elder forests, the diversity of Edel is resounding to behold. Yet sadly, many of these animals are forgotten due to their lack of documentation.

The St. Otto Spaniel, also known as the Ottoshund, is a large canine native to the Kingdom of Haense. They are named after Saint Otto, who purportedly created the breed, and have a rich history: originally bred as watch dogs for the ruins of Vanderfell, they descend from various breeds of Carnatian herding and guard dogs, themselves the offspring of a former hunting hounds used by the nomadic Karnat tribe. Today, they can be found throughout the Haeseni highlands performing a multitude of jobs and tasks, including herding, hunting, and acting as watchdogs and emotional support companions.

• Lowlander
• Mountaineer
• Hyperborean
