"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.

Otto Ludovar laughs. "Ready the men."

"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.

ACCEPTED. REPORT TO ISAAKEV POSTHASTE.

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.

"Prepare Isaakev for any attacks." Otto commanded to his cousin, Viktor Ludovar. "We must be prepared to ward off any Veletz offensive."

"He knows what he is talking about." Says Lord Speaker Otto Ludovar.

Otto welcomes his brother onto the Aulic. “Took you long enough. Wonder when the footman will join us.” @Blake0205

"Okay." Otto shrugged, seemingly unimpressed.

Otto Ludovar prepares the Hussars and doubles the mining within the mountains. “We must be ready.” He told Amleth.

"A masterpiece, a shame you did not write this one." Otto smiled at Amleth and returned to fixing the Royal Ludovar Mining ledgers. @yopplwasupxxx
