Amended pursuant to the following Edict:

VE HERZENZ EDYKT I 378 ES The Lords Edict of 378 ES Issued and Confirmed by His Royal Majesty, Koeng Henrik II on the 9th of Vzmey and Hyff, 378 ES. VA BIRODEO HERZENAV AG EDLERVIK, It has been a few years since the conclusion of the Noble Audit of 374 ES, made with the intent of investigating the situation and state of our nobility and the various Peers and their noble families that make up our Kingdom’s nobility. Many of our Peers and their noble families are going through periods of growth, and for that we must commend their efforts. Where they sow the seed of growth and contribution, the Kingdom harvests this growth into its welfare, and our rewards and gratitude shall be extended to these families. Furthermore, it is the intent of the Crown, that from this day forward, every Peer must have at least one subsidiary title of every tier leading up to their primary, these subsidiary titles may be distributed by a Peer to their relatives, who may hold them titularly until their death or its revocation, whereafter it returns to the Peer. It is also the Crown’s will that, following the changes made to the status and rankings of various Peers and their noble families, that the noble title of Margrave shall be discontinued henceforth, and all titles of Margravial tier be turned to Counties. The following changes are made to the Peerages of the Realm: The Barony of Voron is promoted to a Viscounty, thus becoming the Viscounty of Voron. It shall remain a subsidiary title of (Naumariav: Herzen) His Grace, Ruslan Baruch, the Duke of Valwyck, to be inherited by his rightful Heir and held by the House of Baruch. The Duchy of Vidaus is granted to The Most Honourable, Maric Ruthern, the Margrave of Greyspine, to be inherited by his rightful Heir and held by the House of Ruthern. He shall thus be (Naumariav: Herzen) His Grace, Maric Ruthern, the Duke of Vidaus. The Margraviate of Greyspine shall be relegated to a Viscounty, becoming the Viscounty of Greyspine, becoming a subsidiary title of House Ruthern. The County of Jerovitz is created and granted to The Honourable, Jan Kortrevich, the Viscount of Krusev, to be inherited by his rightful Heir and held by the House of Kortrevich. He shall thus be known as (Naumariav: Komitzem) The Right Honourable, Jan Kortrevich, Count of Jerovitz. The Viscounty of Sezwesk is created and granted to The Right Honourable, Kazimar Ludovar, the Count of Otistadt, to be inherited by his rightful Heir and held by the House of Ludovar. The County of Otistadt shall be relegated to a Barony, becoming the Barony of Otistadt. Kazimar Ludovar shall hence be (Vikomitzem) The Honourable, Kazimar Ludovar, Viscount of Seswesk. The Viscounty of Varna, the Barony of Kraken’s Watch, and the Barony of Lorentz shall be returned from The Honourable, Britannus Vanir, to the Crown and absorbed into the rest of the titles held by the Crown. Britannus Vanir shall hence be (Naumariav: Firr) Mister Britannus Vanir. Additionally, the Crown shall be releasing another noble letter, a new house joining the House of Mondblume as newly created nobility of the realm. The following amendments are made to the Haurul Caezk: Section 601 shall have the following amendments made: 601.01: A man or woman who lawfully holds the noble title of Grand Prince, Grand Princess, Prince, Princess, Duke, Duchess, Count, Countess,Viscount, Viscountess, Baron or Baroness and affirmed by the Crown within the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska shall be deemed a Haeseni Peer, of esteemed birth and social standing and upon whom is bestowed obligations and expectations to serve the Kingdom more arduously than those of lesser birth; 601.012: A Peer may delegate one of their subsidiary titles to their heir apparent, which shall be held by them until they succession, or until death; IV JOVEO MAAN, His Royal Majesty, Henrik II, by the Grace of Godan, King of Hanseti and Ruska, Grand Hetman of the Army, Prince of Bihar, Dules, Ulgaard, Lahy, Sorbesborg and Slesvik, Duke of Carnatia and Vidaus, Margrave of Korstadt and Rothswald, Count of Chatnik, Nenzing, Graiswald, Karikhov, Baranya, Kvasz, Kavat, Karovia, Kovachgrad, Torun, Turov, Kaunas, Alban, Reza and Markev, Viscount of Grauspin and Varna, Baron of Thurant, Rytsburg, Venzia, Essenstadt, Krepost, Kralta, Antioch, Kraken’s Watch and Lorentz, Lord of the Westfolk, Protector of the Highlanders, etcetera

REFORMATION OF THE HAENSE ROYAL ARMY TO THE BROTHERHOOD OF ST. KARL Issued on 3rd of Jula ag Piov, 378 ES by order of His Majesty Koeng Heinrik II “Ea szalmar ter mzider” “I shall not falter.” In conjunction with the other officers of the Crown, His Majesty has decreed that the armed forces of Hanseti-Ruska are to enter a state of reformation. The main aim of this reformation is to reintroduce but more importantly, revitalize the times of the past. While also seeing that the flaws of old are recognized, provided a solution, and put right. To reformation! A new sense of brotherhood shall be instilled, between all of its members; footmen and officers alike. As such, His Majesty shall brand the army anew as the Brotherhood of Saint Karl. Continuing on from the announcement, the following reformations are to be put in place, as outlined in the rest of this post. Ranks of the Brotherhood of Saint Karl Informally and amongst those in the BSK, The expected salutations of brotherhood values are to be used: Officer --> Footman = Comrade Footman --> Officer = Sir Footman --> Footman = Brother Ranks of Command: LORD MARSHAL | HAUCHMARSKYAL Salutation of The Lord Marshal | Lord Marshal, Marshal, or Sir. The Lord Marshal is the penultimate authority of the military, chief general of His Majesty’s armed forces, and in the logics of the central Brotherhood, is de facto first-in-command of all military affairs. It is therefore expected that the Marskyal organizes the majority of duties and tasks to be dispatched to lesser officers, as well as coordinating the establishment of garrisons, patrols, training exercises and other large scale operations. The Hauchmarskyal also serves on His Majesty’s Aulic Council, being held privy to the inner machinations of the Realm. CAPTAIN | OBERNIK Salutation of a Captain | Captain [Name], or Sir. Captains of the army are commissioned officers awarded their own command. Captains often hold considerable sway within His Majesty’s forces, oftentimes dictating the state of morale within the ranks. Stationed within the central command of the Brotherhood they are tasked with the directing, arming, maintenance, and training of His Majesty’s forces. The purpose of Captain is to serve as a Marshal’s right hand man, aiding in advice, be it physically combative, plotting a battle, or general infrastructure of the army. LIEUTENANT | LEYTNANT Salutation of a Lieutenant | Lieutenant [Name], or Sir. Lieutenants of the Brotherhood are those who maintain the traits or values of duty, diligence, competency and a passion to serve. They oversee and administer subordinates beneath their own rank, where in the hierarchy they typically are directing, or leading two to three sergeants of their own. This is the first officer role of the BSK, and is considered to be of esteemed value. Sergeants under the Lieutenant will pertain to a certain branch of the army being; scouts, cavalry, shock infantry, or regular infantry. One lieutenant may be charged with the maintenance of three branches, delegating one of the three branches to the sergeants underneath them. For example, a Lieutenant charged with the scouts and cavalry, may delegate the scouts to one sergeant, while another is delegated to the cavalry. Ranks of Foot: SERGEANT | SERZHANT Salutation of a Sergeant | Sergeant [Name], or Sir. The Sergeant is the toughest of the enlisted men. As a veteran of various battles and wars, they are no stranger to combat, and have earned the respect that comes with the rank. They are armed with the finest equipment, and are expected to take active leadership roles in the Brotherhood through training, patrols, and upkeep of the men. Their duties extend to and from: Recruiting new members into the BSK. Taking charge of separate branches, or squadrons in battle and leading men. Taking charge when there are no other present officers. OFFICER CADET | OFFICNA NAUIHAUNUV Salutation of an Officer Cadet | Officer Cadet [Name]. Officer Cadets are officers in training in essence. They are not permitted to charge, or give out commands, unless another officer has commanded them to do so; they may only give orders if assigned such. Otherwise, they are enlisted soldiers in training to be an officer. One can become an Officer Cadet at any point in time past the rank of Oathedman, or Oathedwoman. These are typically men, or women who are wanting to take on more of an administrative, strategic or advisory role in the BSK from the start. Any potential Officer Cadets are to be voted on by the Officer Core and Sergeants of the army, judging them based on their initial character and allegiance to Hanseti-Ruska. ARMIGER | BRUSTYA Salutation of an Armiger | Brother, or [Name]. An Armiger is the veteran of the Army, who neither seek further promotions, or are incapable of receiving such. They typically operate in conjunction with Sergeants, but bow to their authority in operations. Armigers are expected to lead from the front, take command in the absence of a Sergeant and be a role model for the men beneath him. ARMSMAN | OXTZEN Salutation of an Armsman | Brother, or [Name]. An Armsman the tried and tested soldiers of the Army. Each Armsman has proven his mettle in battle, his steel sharp and his heart true. Comprising a good quarter of the Brotherhood’s forces, it is from the vetted Armsmen that the leaders of tomorrow are selected, and the new steel of the North is tempered. OATHEDMAN | PRIVESKDYLEVAR Salutation of an Oathedman | Brother or [Name]. An Oathedman consists of the bulk of the Brotherhood; men who have passed their Initiate trials and have been deemed worthy by the Hauchmarskyal of being accepted as a fully fledged soldier of the Brotherhood. INITIATE | NAUMAAN Salutation of an Initiate | [Name]. An Initiate is a recently volunteered or conscripted soldier, untested in battle and untrained in the art of combat. These recruits are not considered soldiers yet, and will have to undergo a series of tests and trials before they can be promoted to the rank of Oathedman. CADET | NAUIHAUNUV Salutation of Cadet, [Name]. A cadet is a recently recruited soldier under the age of 14 and above the age of 8. They’re untested in battle, untrained in the art of combat and will be tutored and trained by experienced officers within the brotherhood. Cadets will be eligible to be promoted to the rank of oathedman/oathedwoman once they’ve completed their training and have reached the age of maturity. Cadets will not be permitted to engage in combat till they have reached the age of 14. In some cases a cadet will be assigned a soldier to learn under, not unlike a typical squireship. Specialised Positions: QUARTERMASTER is the man responsible for arming all of His Majesty’s soldiers as per their rank. The Quartermaster ensures that all soldiers requisitions are properly taken care of, as well as replacing broken or unusable equipment. FIELD MEDIC is a medically trained and certified soldier responsible for the treatment of his injured comrades within the line of duty. They answer directly to the physician, who manages and trains the field medics if necessary. PHYSICIAN is the officer responsible for the upkeep of soldiers’ health. In the case of disease or other injury from battle, the physician works tirelessly to ensure that the men receive the treatment they need. CHAPLAIN is a priest of the Church of the Canon who provides religious guidance for the soldiers in the brotherhood. Blessing men before battles, performing funeral rites and other religious ceremonies. STANDARD-BEARER | FAHNENBAR is entrusted with the sacred honor of bearing the Brotherhood’s flag into battle. A model soldier, patriot, and budding leader, these men claim the greatest glory of all, with the Brotherhood boasting only three standard bearers. ENGINEER oversees the field fortifications and siege weaponry used by the brotherhood. They are responsible for training soldiers on the use of cannon, ballista and trebuchet and also provide instruction on siegecraft and defensive works. When in the field, the engineer will oversee the construction of any works required to accomplish the current objectives of the BSK.

“Va Eyvize ve Krawn” Motto of the Office of the Aulic Council ‘To Advise the Crown ’ THE AULIC COUNCIL OF HAENSE, PRIVY COUNCIL OF THE CROWN Est. 131 E.S. | 1578 A.H. Or, A STUDY INTO THE AULIC COUNCIL OF HAENSE BY SIR VIKTOR KORTREVICH Baruch & Kortrevich Publishing --- The AULIC COUNCIL (New Marian: EUYLIK KONKIL), or officially known as the AULIC COUNCIL AND PRIVY COUNCIL OF THE CROWN, is composed of commanding members of several Aulic Offices, who hold authority over the Kingdom’s legislature, military, law, interior affairs, treasury and foreign affairs, second only to the Sovereign of Haense, and advises the Sovereign on matters of varying significance. Historically, the Aulic Council has been comprised of several trustworthy advisors who oversee the Offices of Palatine, Marshal, Speaker, etcetera. The most likely candidates for designation into the Aulic Council have typically been from Haense’s most experienced and trustworthy individuals who possess higher education from the Kingdom’s Royal Academy. In most cases, those born of nobility have held a seat on the Council although there have been cases where members of the gentry have also held a seat on the Council. Historically, since the establishment of the first Council, most all aulic councillors are attributed with extensive education prior to their ascension to the Sovereign's privy council. The reconstruction and growth of the Kingdom’s Aulic Council continues to take place extensively from each reign to another. There has been a trend since the first Aulic Council underneath King Petyr I where the vast majority of Aulic Councillors have belonged to certain nobilital families, from Ruthern, Baruch, Vyronov to Amador. The Aulic Councillors are distinguished by the unique bulavas forged using different metals to symbolize where their authority reaches in the Kingdom. The reign of King Petyr I saw the creation of the first Aulic office, the Lord Palatine (f.

Moreover, we pledge our cause to be the bulwark against all threats to our land made by both man and beast alike. In the course of recent events, it has become pertinent to justify our cause in this enactment. Spontaneous threats such as Rimetrolls pose great dangers to the safety and security of our citizens.War along our borders continue to perpetuate fear to which we will not tolerate. Our policy shall henceforth be proclaimed in these pretense: Firstly, the Kingdom of Haense reaffirms in candor, its steadfast duty to keep and maintain all of its existing treaties. Secondly, The Kingdom of Haense resolutely commits to providing a shield of defense for allies or sovereigns that are considered vital to the Kingdom’s security if their freedom and or self-government are threatened by another sovereign. Thirdly, in cases of antagonism, we shall furnish military and economic assistance wherein requested in accordance with our treaty commitments, but we shall look to the sovereign directly threatened to assume the primary responsibility of providing the manpower for their defense. The Kingdom of the Hanseti-Ruska, Sovereign of the Highlanders, does hereby vow to intercede on behalf of its allies when requested or deemed necessary to secure itself from foreign threats, be it diplomatically or by military force. Let this be a cause for all those who seek to defend against the threats that lay before us. We implore all men and women to defend against these wicked snares under our Royal banner. We solemnly profess from this day onward that any provocation made by entities who seek to disrupt the order and peace of Haense or her allies shall be met with force as God wills.

Amended pursuant to the following assented bills:

JURASZ VE KOENGZ DUMA Law and Order Bill of 374 ES Introduced in the Duma. An act to change the criminal classification of the crime of resisting a warrant. INTRODUCTION Currently, the Haurul Caezk classifies the crime of resisting a warrant as a middling offense. However, this could encourage criminals to resist warrants that could lead to evidence of a severe offense. In cases such as this, the criminal would instead just be punished for the middling offense of resisting the warrant, and prevent investigation into the severe crime they are suspected of committing. I. Necessary Definitions - Warrant: order issued by a Jovenaar granting permission to Royal Detectives to enter any property to search for evidence of wrongdoing. II. Amendments - The Haurul Caezk shall be amended to the following: 419.07: The crime of refusing the execution of a warrant shall be a severe offence.

Necessary Definitions - Trespass: being on private property when not explicitly given permission II. Amendments - The Haurul Caezk shall be amended to the following: 413.01: The crime of intentionally breaking into a private property where the offender does not have permission to be shall constitute a minor offence.

Unidersiaveo Sant-Otto or; University of Saint Otto "MONN HAURULNIY OE WIELKAET" Motto of the University of Saint Otto 'May our Knowledge be blessed.' 3rd of Msitza and Dargund, 376 ES KRUSAE ZWY KONGZEM Foreword: Continuing in the efforts of the previous Royal Academy of Saint Charles, the university of Saint Otto seeks to renew the efforts of the academy previously in ensuring that those seeking to become leaders within the kingdom are appropriately learnt in the kingdom that they seek to govern. Previous iterations of the royal academies have often eventually fallen decrepit as its educators grow old and retire. This university, under the Crown’s directive, shall seek to ensure that those talented individuals who aim to climb to the highest ranks are both learnt in, and aware of the Haeseni classics. From that of its rich culture such as that of Haense’s history, language and literature that is of an essential aspect to the kingdom’s nature. This shall be done as has been done through simple testing similar to that of the Haeseni Civil Service exams of 288 ES. It is the hope of the Crown that writers continue to produce educational works for the benefit of the kingdom’s already expansive literature. This university therefore seeks to support its writers through offering both the ability to rise to the rank of Dragus, (styled as “His/Her Most Enlightened) as well as financial support for completed works of exceptional calibre. The Dragusi Blessing As our Kongzem continues to grow and thrive, so too does its rich culture. It is therefore of paramount importance that those who represent and serve the Kongzem in a higher capacity not only understand this culture, but actively embody. In pursuit of this, the Dragus serve to assess and educate, all in order to ensure that those who champion Hanseti-Ruska do so with full respect to her culture and values. Prior to formally assuming office, Aulic Councillors, Alderman and the Grand Maer, Stewards, HRA Officers, and Kastellans are required to obtain the Dragusi Blessing -- this serves as a mark that they possess adequate knowledge of Haeseni culture. This adequacy is a basic one, achieved if an officer can demonstrate fundamental concepts of Haeseni culture such as the correct way to say Haeseni to New Marian vocabulary. The Blessing is obtained by, very simply, receiving the approval of two Dragus. The Dragus, however, have complete discretion in how they ascertain whether an officer possesses this knowledge. They may do so through a simple oral interview, or they may subject them to a more practical trial. The Blessing will never be unreasonably withheld and should not be a timely endeavour. Dragus System The Dragus are the wisefolk of Haense and work as the Kongzem’s esteemed sages and scribes. Appointed by writ of the Crown in recognition of their expertise, the Dragus assume the address of their Enlightened, and their work consists of publishing works that promote and develop the Kongzem’s rich history and culture. The Dragus are entitled to room and board in the Unidersiaveo and are paid for their publishings.

Or, A STUDY INTO THE LORD PALATINES OF HAENSE BY OTTO THE TARCHARMAN & SIR VIKTOR KORTREVICH & OTTO GANT Baruch & Kortrevich Publishing --- The LORD PALATINE, or officially known as the LORD PALATINE AND CHANCELLOR OF THE CROWN, is the penultimate authority of the realm, second only to the Sovereign of Haense, and leads the realm as Head of Government and first aide to the sovereign at his/her behest. Historically, the Lord Palatines have held massive authority, rivalling that of some modern monarchs, and traditionally operate as one of the crown’s most loyal and zeal subjects in accomplishing its interests and goals. The most likely candidate for selection has typically been from Haense’s sprawling nobility and gentry, though there have been cases where clergy (VIII) and even commoners (XIII) have held the seat. Historically, early in Haense’s history there have been more palatines with military backgrounds while later palatines have been pulled from more bureaucratic and aristocratic backgrounds. The growth of complexity of law, rulership, and provincial divides is part of this, as well as Haense’s gradual shift between the late 100s and the early 200s from a military monarch in the likes of Petyr I and the Gold Corps to a more bureaucratic and tradition-based society. Another interesting trend is the apparent rise and fall of certain families through their palatinate history, from the Kovachevs, Bihars, Rutherns, and to the more recent Stafyrs. The office holder is distinguished by the golden bulava of the State and Army, carried only by the Sovereign, and traditionally holds command over both domestic and militaristic affairs (with exception). Since the era of Robert Bihar’s second term in 233, the Lord Palatines have also been traditionally active in Duma politics and actively supporting the legislature through its chambers. Notable office holders include Ser Rickard Barrow (I), Prince Karl-Sigmar (II), Ser Lukas Vanir (IV), Prince Henrik Bihar (VII), Prince Robert Bihar (XI and XV), Ser Matyas Colborn (XIV), Leopold Stafyr, Count of Nenzing (XVIII), and Lerald Vyronov, Duke of Carnatia (XX). As of 363, three officeholders have died in office (XIX , XXV and XXVI), five from battle or injuries sustained in battle (IV, VI, VII and XVIII), and one from illness though under mysterious circumstances (XX). Four officeholders have resigned under political pressure (II, III, IX and XVI), one officeholder has been imprisoned, tried, and executed for treason (XIII), twenty-two officeholders have resigned due to personal interest, health, or age (I, V, X, XI, XIV, XV, XVII, XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXIV, XXVII, XXVIII, XXIX, XXX and XXXI), while one officeholder was elevated to greater office, with one High Pontiff (VIII) and one Koeng of Haense (XII). Seal of the Lord Palatine --- Views on Moral Authority The views of the moral authority of the Lord Palatines can be traced to two distinct schools of thought. Historically, seventeen officeholders have followed Everardianism [Moralism] (I, II, III, IV, V, IX, XII, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XX, XXI, XXII, XXV, XXVII and XVIII) and eleven officeholders have followed Stephanianism [Secularism] (VI, VII, VIII, X, XI, XIII, XIV, XIX, XXIII, XXIV, and XXVI), to which both have retained a majority of palatines’ ideologies. The schools of thought on moral authority are as follows, Everardianism, or Moralism, holds Canonism and the Church of the Canon as the chief moral authority of the realm, and therefore, holds adherence to Canon Law as a vital virtue of the Haeseni national identity. Everardians tend to favor stricter moral laws, greater freedoms to the clergy, and patronage of Canonism as the state religion. Stephanianism, or Secularism, holds the Sovereign and State as the chief moral authority of the realm, maintaining royal law and prerogative and loyalty to it as a crucial belief. While a Stephanian may still support Canonism and clerical law, the monarch remains superior in cases of conflict. Stephanians tend to favor laxer moral laws, stricter restrictions to the clergy, and heavy patronage to state secular learning. --- Views on Government Haense, through his long history, has developed its own political philosophy known as Biharism. Biharism is a center-right nationalist philosophy founded and formulated by Saint Henry of Bihar, which has become the leading national philosophy in terms of stewardship and government policy. Biharist, or Haeseni, thought can roughly be boiled down to the following tenets: Agrarianism, or a focus on the maintenance of the farm-based agriculture and peasant economy of the northern rural country. Sponsorship of agricultural development through veteran pensions or noble estates is typically the most pronounced form of this. Loyalty, or the utmost loyalty to the Crown of Haense and the ancient royal family of the Barbanovs. For centuries the Barbanovs have ruled Haense, and to the Biharist, their rule falls hand-in-hand with the well-being of the nation. This also includes loyalty to the state and the fellow citizenry, maintaining a concept of Haeseni honor. Pan-Highlanderism, or Haesenification, which is the concept of uniting all Highlanders, the Sons and Daughters of Joren, under one flag and one state. This includes both Raev, Hansetian, and other highlander peoples. Scholarism, or the support of literacy and scholasticism amongst the people. This includes support for schools and historical recording, and the patronage of such organizations such as the Church of the Canon and independent artists and writers. Expansionism, or a focus on enlarging the borders and influence of the Haeseni state and people. This includes both directly and indirectly, as well as cultural expansionism through use of assimilation. Traditionalism, or a focus on maintaining the specific customs and traditions of the Highlander people, as well as the noble and monarchical hierarchy of Haense. A Biharist does not deny meritocracy and in fact most endorse it, however the ancient customs and traditions of the nobility and religion are typically left untouched and unmolested. Haeseni Liberty, or the concept of the Haeseni citizen as protected under the government. Biharism holds the Jeremic Rights as its standard, which are as follows, “To each freeman is his own life, to take it is to be a thief, To each freeman his own time, to take it is to be a slaver, To each freeman his own sword, to take it is to blind him, To each freeman his own wife, to take it is to injure him, And to each freeman his own farm, to take is to make him no man.” There are numerous strains of Biharist thought, as well as non-Biharist thought, prevalent in Haense. Historically, nine officeholders have followed Feudalist thought (I, XII, XIV, XVI, XVII, XX, XXI, XXVI, and XXVII), seventeen officeholders have followed Centralist thought (II, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XV, XVIII, XIX, XXII, XXIII, XXIV, XXV, and XXVIII), one officeholder has followed Sergeyist [Libertarian] thought (III), one officeholder has followed Andrist [Absolutist] thought (V), and one officeholder has followed Rykovian [Anarcho-Biharist] thought (XIII). The schools of thought are as follows, Centralism, or Centralist-Biharism, is a centrist philosophy which supports greater powers of the royal state over that of the feudal estates, though in respect to Biharist rights and freedoms. Typically, a Centralist supports the royal army over that of noble levies, and greater focus on central institutions. Feudalism, or Feudalist-Biharism, is a centrist philosophy which supports greater rights of the estates over that of the central government, though in respect to Biharist views of authority and national loyalty. Typically, a Feudalist supports noble levies over the royal army, and a greater focus on feudal institutions. Rykovianism, or Anarcho-Biharism, is a radical philosophy which supports the Biharist rights and freedoms of man as the chief ideology of the nation, rejecting totally the feudal and monarchical hierarchy and establishment. The ideology is named after its founder and main proponent, former Prince-Archbishop of Jorenus, Nikolay Rykov. Waldorvianism, or Prioro-Biharism, is a radical philosophy which infuses the hard-right thinking of Priorism with traditional Biharism. A typical Waldorvian supports high centralized powers with a strong concept of Haeseni ethnic nationalism and national meritocracy. Andrianism, or Absolutism, is a radical philosophy which supports the prerogatives over the crown over that of the feudal estates and common people, as well as rejecting Biharist views on rights and personal freedoms. Sergeyism, or Libertarianism, is a radical philosophy which supports the feudal states and their freedoms to the point of denying most authority of the central government, as well as rejecting Biharist views on the need of national authority. --- I PALATIN Sir Rickard Barrow Sir Richard Barrow 131 E.S. - 137 E.S. | 1578 A.H. - 1584 A.H. @Ark Monarch(s): Petyr I, Andrik II Political Ideology: Everardian-Feudalist Sir Rickard Barrow (Common: Richard Barrow), renowned general and administrator, served as Lord Palatine throughout the entirety of Petyr I’s reign (131-135) and beginning two of Andrik II’s (135-137). Previously a veteran of Petyr’s condottiere Gold Corps and Haense’s inaugural victory in the Riga War, Rickard was immensely popular among the soldiers and nobility alike, and frequently participated in both the affairs of state and military. He commanded the Haeseni forces directly during the burgeoning skirmishes of the newborn realm, who still struggled with rebellious banditry which refused to recognize the united monarchy, and scored countless victories over the divided marauders. His power and grip on national affairs grew exponentially, and he effectively controlled the kingdom in the waning years of Petyr’s declining health and the first two years of Andrik’s rule. From his early career in the Gold Corps, Rickard was a patron of the Church of the Canon, sponsoring and supporting numerous pontifical candidates before and during his tenure as palatine, including the future Saint Pontiff Sixtus IV. After surmounting tension between himself and a joint faction of Andrik and his brother Karl-Sigmar (who both desired power of government be returned to the king), as well as his increasing age, Rickard resigned from his post, though he remained a highly influential courtier and a direct participant in the later Deep Cold Uprising of 139, where he directly opposed the king in his attempt at rebellion from the Holy Orenian Empire. --- II PALATIN Prinz Karl-Sigmar van Haenz Prince Charles-Siguine of Haense 137 E.S. - 146 E.S. | 1584 A.H. - 1593 A.H. @Birdman Monarch(s): Andrik II, Marus I Political Philosophy: Everardian-Centralist Prince Karl-Sigmar (Common: Charles-Siguine) was a Haeseni prince, the son of King Petyr I, and general who served as Lord Palatine for nine years from the last two years of Andrik II’s reign to the turbulent regency of Marus I. At first, an early supporter of his brother Andrik, he assisted him in his effective coup of former palatine Rickard Barrow and helped consolidate his power both civic and militarily. However, when Andrik II, spurned on by anti-Imperialists from numerous disenfranchised families including the Brawms, launched his Deep Cold Uprising in the wake of Emperor John IV’s death (139), Karl turned against his brother, and supported Rickard in removing Andrik from the throne in the stead of his minor son, Marus. Karl led the regency for the minority of Marus I, which became a haven of political intrigue and noble infighting between the numerous military families of Haense, each vying for power. The royal capital, which still remained undeveloped till now, was formally built-up under Karl and his regency, and in the wake of the chaotic civil unrest, he consolidated royalist power towards the once central city. Despite his frequent conflicts with the much of the nobility, he was able to bring them to relative peace by the end of his tenure, brought to simmering standstill by his expanded royalist retinues. His successes, however, were short-lived, as by the end of the regency many of the hyper-Sergeyist nobility, unhappy with his centralist tendencies, steadily gained prestigious positions in court and actively sought to have him removed. They were eventually successful, and in 146 he resigned from office under pressure by the senior nobility only a few weeks after Marus’ accession. He remained active in royalist government affairs, and retained the rank of general until his death in 155. --- III PALATIN Heinrik Kovachev, 6th Herzen van Karnatiya Henry Kovacs, 6th Duke of Carnatia 146 E.S. - 151 E.S. | 1593 A.H. – 1598 A.H. @TankM1A2 Monarch(s): Marus I Political Ideology: Everardian-Sergeyist Heinrik Kovachev (Common: Henry Kovacs) was a Haeseni nobleman and the Duke of Carnatia, serving as Lord Palatine after the noble-ousting of Prince Karl-Sigmar in 146. He preferred the management of his own estates to that of the realm, namely being chosen as Lord Palatine as to sait the powerful Kovachev family after the turbulent regency of Prince Karl-Sigmar. For nearly the entirety of his tenure, he performed poorly in his duties as head of government, leaving both the military and treasury in shambles due to his inadequacy. His lack of attention to the affairs of state, the embezzlement of royal funds for his private fiefs, and his boiling tensions with the rival Brawm family led to his eventual dismissal and fall from grace in 151. --- IV PALATIN Sir Lukas Vanir Sir Lucas Vanir 151 ES - 165 ES | 1598 AH - 1612 AH (14 yrs) @Pureimp10 Monarch(s): Marus I Political Ideology: Everardian-Centralist Sir Lukas Vanir (Common: Lucas Vanir) was a Haeseni noble and statesman who served as Lord Palatine from 151 till Marus I’s death in 164. Lukas was the second son of the late Britannus Vanir and brother to the popular Fiske Vanir the Bloody, veteran and general of the Riga War, who he often found himself in his shadow. Following an impeccable career as maer and bureaucrat during the Johannesburg Refugee Crisis of the 150s, he came to rise quickly amongst the struggling royalists following the collapse of Karl-Sigmar’s government and an eventual candidate as palatine. A strict centralist, he would spend a majority of his time in office pushing policies that furthered the central government’s authority while slowly revoking the power of the nobility. Lukas proved successful domestically, though militarily the army remained under staunch Sergeyist sympathizers, including former palatine Heinrik Kovachev and his cousin Andrik Kovachev, and rebuffed most efforts of reform. The military therefore remained split two-ways between a royalist sector led by Prince Karl-Sigmar and his eldest son Prince Stefan Bihar and the private armies of the feudal estates, led in weak alliance between the powerful Haeseni clans such as the Kovachevs, Vanirs, Rutherns, and Brawms. Lukas would lead a successful war against a short rebellion by the Brawm family in 153, and after early victories, his government grew more emboldened against the expansionist Curonians of the Coalition War-era. The divided army, however, proved ineffective as time loomed on, and after a few major losses in the east and west respectively, the royalist government of Marus I fled into exile. Lukas followed the government with, and remained in Mardon till the king’s death and Lukas’ expiration of post, where he followed Stefan to the Second Battle of the Rothswald, succumbing to injuries sustained in the victorious fight. --- V PALATIN Sir Maverik Madonvik Sir Maverick Macdonough 165 E.S. | 1612 A.H. Monarch(s): Stefan I Political Ideology: Stephanian-Andrist Sir Maverik Madonvik (Common: Maverick Macdonough; Kvenish: Maaveerok Maadonais) was a Haeseni-Kvenoman nobleman who served as Lord Palatine briefly in 164 following the death of Petyr II and the victory of Stefan I at the Second Battle of the Rothswood. He oversaw the Duma of 164 which saw Stefan elected as the King of Haense and the restoration of the Haeseni state, though when the affairs of office soon began to take a toll, he resigned from office in favor of his nephew, Jakob. --- VI PALATIN Sir Jakob Madonvik Sir James Macdonough 165 E.S. - 166 E.S. | 1612 A.H. - 1613 A.H. Monarch(s): Stefan I Political Ideology: Stephanian-Centralist Sir Jakob Madonvik (Common: James Macdonough; Kvenish: Veikko Maadonais) was a Haeseni-Kvenoman nobleman who served as Lord Palatine from 164 to 166 under the restored monarchy of Stefan I. A staunch supporter of the royalist cause, he was a vibrant zealot in the pursuit of restored royal control and powers to the crown, and initially enjoyed some success in extracting taxes and levies from the returning nobility. However, he experienced failures at the start of border skirmishes with the northern realm of Nordenlund in the Second Northern War, where at the Battle of Rostig (166) he was slain in combat following a failed flank of his cavalry. --- VII PALATIN Heinrik van Bihar, 1st Prinzen van Bihar Henry of Bihar, 1st Prince of Bihar 166 E.S. - 177 E.S. | 1613 A.H. - 1624 A.H. @floop Monarch(s): Stefan I Political Ideology: Stephanian-Centralist Heinrik Bihar (Common: Henry Bihar) was a Haeseni prince, saint, and nobleman, a descendant of House Barbanov through former palatine Karl-Sigmar, who himself served as Lord Palatine from 166 to the end of the reign of Stefan I at 177. At first appointed for his military talent, where he quickly reversed the fortunes of the Second Northern War with key appointments of famed generals Alessa Grendok and Cullen Valerin. The military of Haeseni swelled after his appointment, and it was under Heinrik that the kingdom adopted Carnatian cavalry tactics for the royal army. He personally commanded numerous offensive raids against the Nordenlund holdings, winning countless battles and skirmishes along the border. He also grew in fame for his skill in stewardship and administration, where through his work, he oversaw the reconstruction of a vast majority of the salted and destroyed Haeseni farmland and wilderness, raising also villages and forts ransacked or ruined by the occupying Courland forces of the earlier Greyspine Rebellion. By the early 170s, Haense had emerged from a backwater imperial province to one of the richest realms of humanity, in part of Heinrik’s government and taxation reforms. Heinrik also took an active part in Stefan’s plots against the imperial state, commanding the Haeseni forces in the imperial capital both times which led to the deposition of Emperor John V and Lord Protector Robert of Marna. His death in 177 coincided with that of his patron and sovereign Stefan, with some believing it to be an act of espionage from the court of Emperor Peter II. Heinrik’s philosophy of ruling, known as Biharism, has become the leading ideology of Haense, outlining a basic concept of moral integrity, cultural expectations of honor, hierarchy, tradition, and national values of individualism, self-reliance, and scholarship. It is famously attributed to Heinrik to common Haeseni proverb and state motto, “I would have perished if I had not persisted.” A notable characteristic of Heinrik was his charity, donating mass sums of the profits of his private estates to the local church and sponsoring the study of Haeseni literature. For his patronage of clerical and theological thinking, he was later canonized by the Church of the Canon as Saint Henry of Bihar. --- POSITION VACANT, 177 - 180 E.S. | 1624 - 1627 A.H. --- VIII PALATIN Josef van Alban, Haucepiskop wir Jorenus Joseph of Alban, Archbishop of Jorenus 180 E.S. - 186 E.S. | 1627 A.H. - 1633 A.H. @Piov Monarch(s): Otto II Political Ideology: Everardian-Centralist Josef Baldemar (Common: Joseph Baldwin) was a Haeseni clergyman and Archbishop of Jorenus who served as Lord Palatine at the beginning of Otto II’s reign. His term saw the combating of poverty among the common citizenry and the codification of laws that promoted decency in public conduct. He continued his predecessor’s moral philosophy of Biharism, if not giving it more religious overtones, though retained a notably pacifist approach much to the annoyance of former rulers Stefan and Otto I’s court. His election as High Pontiff in 186 saw effective resignation from office, though he remained highly prolific in Haeseni political life due to his position. --- IX PALATIN Sir Fordsen Kyngeston Sir Fordson Kingston 186 E.S. - 191 E.S. | 1633 A.H. - 1638 A.H. @Devland99 Monarch(s): Otto II Political Ideology: Stephanian-Centralist Sir Fordsen Kyngeston (Common: Fordson Kingston) was a Haeseni nobleman and general who served as Palatine during the middle years of Otto II’s reign. A soldier by trade, Fordsen suffered a staggering lose as Vasiland (188) in the War of the Beards, though performed amicably in defending the realm during a second wave of Nordenlund raids of the Third Northern War, defeating them decisively at the Battle of Ayr in 190. The early death of general Alessa Grendok, however, at the Battle of Isinburk in 189 landed a serious blow to both the army and Fordsen, to which the officer corps was unable to recover from for some years. Fordsen’s preference on military affairs led to numerous conflicts with his brother and fellow councilmen Anton Kyngeston (Common: Anthony Kingston), and a small civil war between the brothers in the streets of the capital known as the War of the Quackers. Following a fight which led to the lethal injury of his brother Anton in 191, Fordsen was dismissed from office by Otto II, later to be tried a few years later under the government of his successor Sergey Kovachev. --- X PALATIN Sergey [III] Kovachev, 9th Herzen van Karnatiya Sergius Kovachev, 9th Duke of Carnatia 191 E.S. - 195 E.S. | 1638 E.S. - 1642 E.S. @Poor_Fellow Monarch(s): Otto II Political Ideology: Stephanian-Centralist Sergey Kovachev (Common: Sergius Kovachev) was a Haeseni nobleman, general, and the Duke of Carnatia who served as Lord Palatine for four years between 191 and 195. A veteran of the Greyspine Rebellion under Stefan and a renowned general at the time, he regained losses made militarily under his predecessor though enjoyed an overall unremarkable career as palatine. He resigned after a paltry four years in office and returned to the army, serving as a general for the remainder of his life. --- XI PALATIN Robert van Bihar, 2nd Prinzen van Bihar Robert of Bihar, 2nd Prince of Bihar 195 E.S. - 208 E.S. | 1642 A.H. - 1655 A.H. @Piov Monarch(s): Otto II, Otto III Political Ideology: Stephanian-Centralist Prince Robert Bihar (Common: Robert Bihar) was a Haeseni prince and nobleman, father of future monarch Sigmar I, and served as Lord Palatine (for a first term) from the ending years of Otto II and throughout the reign of his son Otto III (195-208). The son of famous palatine Prince Heinrik, he was groomed from his early youth for the position. He promoted policies closely linked to Everardian-Biharism political philosophy, strengthening the overall authority of the Crown and promoting free trade across the kingdom in a series of trade laws and agreements known as the Estermont-Bihar Acts. As a strict Everardian moralist, Prince Robert signed many landmark bills that strengthened crime and sentencing laws such as the Crime Prevention and Enforcement Act of 199 that instituted punitive measures on drug possession and felonies, as well as increasing the power of the clergy by signing laws to strengthen secular scrutiny on injuries against the faith. Robert took a particular leadership role in the Czena Crisis and the ensuing conflicts between the heartlander states of Renatus and the northern free-states of Curon and Haense. He led an initial string of victories against Renatus, though after a few staggering defeats in Curon by 208, the local government demanded some form of change. Following Otto III’s death, his main benefactor and patron, in the same year, Robert was forced into resignation by the more militant members of court under the leadership of his brother Prince Franz Bihar. --- XII PALATIN Sir Franz van Bihar Sir Francis of Bihar 208 E.S. - 219 E.S. | 1655 A.H. - 1666 A.H. @Birdman Monarch(s): Karl II Political Ideology: Stephanian-Feudalist Sir Franz of Bihar (Common: Francis Bihar) was a Haeseni nobleman and general who served as Lord Palatine for the entirety of Karl II’s reign till his own elevation as King in 219. Franz was a well-known militarist by the time of his appointment, having been the most vocal critic of his predecessor’s role in the Czena Crisis, and spent most of his career as Lord Palatine commanding Haeseni forces in the ensuing conflicts. Though he gained few victories, he retained a strong support and loyalty from amongst the military, and he kept the invading heartlander estates from invading into the Haeseni basin. Upon Karl’s death and the conflict of control over the throne, Franz led a short, bloodless palace coup with his loyal soldiers, effectively declaring himself monarch. --- XIII PALATIN Karl van der Rothswald Charles of the Rothswald 219 E.S. - 223 E.S. | 1666 A.H. - 1670 A.H. @Birdman Monarch(s): Sigmar I Political Ideology: Stephanian-Rykovian Karl van der Rothsvald (Common: Charles of the Rothswald) was a Haeseni commoner and preacher, who served as Lord Palatine for four years from the death of Franz II till Sigmar I’s arrival into the royal capital. A monk by trade, he rallied the Haeseni peasantry in the wake of Franz II’s death and seized control of the royal capital, where he declared himself Lord Palatine under a council of peasant leaders. While technically ruling under the ascent of Sigmar I, he refused the former to enter the royal capital for four years, ruling the realm de facto by his accord. After Sigmar returned with a sizable force of his own in 223, the soldiery loyal to Karl surrendered without a fight, and he was summarily tried and executed by Sigmar’s court. --- XIV PALATIN Sir Matyas Colborn Sir Matthias Colborn 223 E.S. - 233 E.S. | 1670 A.H. - 1680 A.H. @JuliusAakerlund Monarch(s): Sigmar I Political Ideology: Everardian-Feudalist Sir Matyas Colborn (Common: Matthias Colborn) was a Haeseni nobleman who served as Lord Palatine for ten years. Matyas’ tenure came to coincide with the end of the Czena Crisis and Haense’s capitulation to the heartlander estates after the disastrous Sigmar’s War and the Battle of Karl’s Hill. A bureaucrat and writer by education, Matyas restored much of the damage caused by the king’s expansionist wars and costly treaties, restoring much of the treasury drained by decades of border wars and skirmishes. Later, which became a focus of his career, Matyas began a campaign against the growing cultists of the sect known as the Rotsvaeyl, which became a point of public hysteria well into the late 220s and 230s. His efforts reopenned Haense diplomatically both to many of the former heartlander estates as well as the Church of the Canon, who had excommunicated former King Karl II. Matyas performed the duties of a diplomat quite successfully in securing advantageous treaties for the Haeseni state. Matyas’ greatest achievement and legacy, however, was his first inroads in diplomacy with non-human states, who at the time had very little to no interaction with the dominant human realm of Haense. Towards the end of Sigmar’s reign, who became increasingly distracted from royal affairs, Matyas assumed more and more duties of the state, though he soon grew to resent the added labor of state, and retired fully in 233 in order to fully pursue his interests in the occult. He retired as a historian and author, though remained active somewhat in Duma life till his death. --- XV PALATIN Robert van Bihar, 2nd Prinzen van Bihar Robert of Bihar, 2nd Prince of Bihar 233 E.S. - 241 E.S. | 1680 A.H. - 1688 A.H. @Piov Monarch(s): Sigmar I, Robert I Political Ideology: Everardian-Centralist Prince Robert of Bihar (Common: Robert Bihar) was a Haeseni prince and nobleman who served as Lord Palatine (for a second term) during the waning years of his son Sigmar’s reign and the beginning years of his grandson Robert’s rule. After staying out of public life for twenty years, he was summoned by his son to serve as Lord Palatine, being the first and only one to serve as Lord Palatine in two non-consecutive terms. One of the first issues wracking his second term was the growing scandal of demon-worshippers in the Brotherhood of Saint Karl, where he set to work immediately removing and exterminating non-Canonist cultists within the ranks of the military. The following year, with the death of his son, the elder palatine saw the accession of his grandson, Robert I, and devoted much of his time tutoring and mentoring the new king on matters of state. Robert also devoted a good majority of his efforts to foreign relations, and rebuilt diplomacy with Adria and Curon following the disastrous Czena Crisis. In one of his visits to Adria, the elder Robert was captivated by the new modern industries of the railroad and became the first Lord Palatine and royal to use the railroad. Prince Robert was also involved in Imperial politics and launched his campaign during the beginning days of the first Imperial Senate, though his campaign sustained violent attacks in the streets of Carolustadt by imperial absolutist opposition. After a short imperial career, he resigned from all public offices due to failing health and died in 254 at the age of 81. --- XVI PALATIN Demitrey Ruthern, 2nd Herzen van Vidaus Demetrius Ruthern, 2nd Duke of Vidaus 241 E.S. - 260 E.S. | 1688 A.H. - 1707 A.H. @Sky Monarch(s): Robert I Political Ideology: Everardian-Feudalist Demitriyus Ruthern (Common: Demetrius Ruthern) was a Haeseni nobleman who served as Lord Palatine for the majority of Robert I’s reign. Despite his long tenure and reasonably powerful position, the majority of control was vested in Demitriyus’ more competent underlings and secretary, retaining power only through his close friendship and marital ties with the sovereign. He remained out of most states of diplomacy, military, and city stewardship, and as remarked by his contemporary Lerald Gambinoel (Illatian: Larry Gambino), “If he was not the most competent placeholder known to our realm, I do not know who is.” --- XVII PALATIN Konstantin Ruthern, 3rd Herzen van Vidaus Constantine Ruthern, 3rd Duke of Vidaus 260 E.S. - 262 E.S. | 1707 A.H. - 1709 A.H. @Security_ Monarch(s): Marus II Political Ideology: Everardian-Feudalist Konstanz Ruthern (Common: Constantine Ruthern) was a Haeseni nobleman, the son of the former Duke of Vidaus and Lord Palatine Demtriyus Ruthern, who served in the palatinate himself from 260 until his resignation in 262. As a personal friend and childhood companion of Marus II, he appointment came more from familial relations than merit. After an underwhelming two years in office, with wanting to focus on his personal estates and family, he resigned from government to live a life remaining mostly out of the political limelight. --- XVIII PALATIN Leopold Stafyr, 1st Komit van Nenzing Leopold Stafyr, 1st Count of Nenzing 262 E.S. - 271 E.S. | 1709 A.H. - 1718 A.H. @Emenzi Monarch(s): Marus II Political Ideology: Stephanian-Centralist Leopold Stafyr (Common: Leopold Stafyr) was a Haeseni nobleman and Count of Nenzing serving as Lord Palatine between 262 to his death at 271 under King Marus II. Leopold was the son of disgraced Lord Marshal Sergey Stafyr, and despite the recent fall of his family, had during his time as pater familias managed to re-elevate his family to comital status and strengthened his own political power, leading to King Marus summoning him to serve as his Lord Palatine following Konstanz Ruthern’s disgrace and resignation. Leopold's tenure as Lord Palatine coincided with a build-up of tension and military stand-offs in the heartland estates between competing powers of Renatus (led by the imperial-claimant Pertinaxi dynasty) and Adria (who had recently elected Marus II as their duke). He gained fame in his defense of the sovereign during the subsequent Sacking of Ves (264) and destruction of the Adrian estates, defending Marus both in the court of the Pertinaxi dynasty and during the Adrian massacres. Leopold was also seen as instrumental in the Nenzing Plot where high lords of the Empire convened in a chamber deep within the castle of Nenzing to plot a revolt to replace the Pertinaxi dynasty with the Marnantine dynasty. After the plot was unraveled by imperial spies, Leopold orchestrated the first imperial coronation of a Holy Orenian Emperor in over a century of civil turmoil, sparking the War of Two Emperors. During the war Leopold fought in the victorious Battle of Upper Rodenburg, though suffered defeats at both Lower Rodenburg and the crucial Siege of Helena (269), before being killed at the Second Battle of Leuven (271) due to an infected arrow wound. Under Leopold’s tenure, he completed the first Haeseni Law Codex, though it remained unpublished till the end of the War of the Two Emperors under King Andrik III, and heavily sponsored the Duma and its subsequent rise in political influence. --- XIX PALATIN Sir Georg Alimar (the Elder) Sir George Alimar 271 E.S. - 273 E.S. | 1718 A.H. - 1720 A.H. @Piov Monarch(s): Marus II, Andrik III Political Ideology: Everardian-Centralist Sir Georg Alimar (the Elder, not to be confused with his nephew Georg the Younger, Palatin XXV) (Common: George Alimar) was a Haeseni prince and statesman during the last year of King Marius II and in the early accession of King Andrik III. He led government in the disastrous final stages of the War of Two Emperors, coordinating the defenses of the southern borders of Haense and maintaining the realm following Marus II’s untimely assassination. However, following conflicts between himself and nobleman Lerald Vyronov, he was captured when enroute to his country estate by enemy soldiers of the Pertinaxi dynasty and subsequently assassinated. --- XX PALATIN Lerald Vyronov, 15th Herzen van Karnatiya Lerald Vyronov, 15th Duke of Carnatia 273 E.S. - 285 E.S. | 1720 A.H. - 1732 A.H. @Flapman Monarch(s): Andrik III Political Ideology: Everardian-Feudalist Lerald Vyronov (Common: Laurence Vyronov) was a Haeseni nobleman and the Duke of Carnatia, serving as Lord Palatine from 273 till his death in 285 following the assassination of his predecessor. Lerald belonged to ancient though relatively minor Haeseni aristocratical family, and though his clan was usually overshadowed by the elder Karovic clans, he became a leading political and Feudalist in the Duma, and became one of the spokesmen for the preservation of ancient noble rights. Ascending the position of palatine during the late stages of the War of Two Emperors, he was the one to lead and negotiate the Treaty of Leuven (274) for the Haeseni front, ending the war whilst ceding southern territory to the heartlander estates. His tenure saw moderate success in rebuilding the war-exhausted realm, including a sizable regrowth of the army by the early 280s. He was known as a staunch feudalist as well, and used his position numerous times to gain advantageous titles and holding for his supporters, including his very own elevation as Duke of Carnatia. Despite an admirable record as palatine, Lerald came under a string of accusations against him in a public hysteria known as the ‘Vyronov Conspiracy’. He became connected to loses and suspected sabatoge in the previous war, connections between himself and former enemies from the heartland estates, the murder of his predecessor Prince Georg Alimar, and to some even the assassination of the former King Marus II. Beginning the late 270s, a coalition of influential politicians of the Duma and local nobility formed against him and propagated the conspiracy. Towards the end of his life he became increasingly paranoid and avoidant of public appearances, later to die under suspicious circumstances in 285. Lerald’s tenure as Lord Palatine coincided with a regrowth of Haeseni scholarism and literacy, and by the peak of his career, the Haeseni state maintained the highest literacy and population growth as according to imperial censuses. The reconstruction of the war-torn capital was begun under Lerald as well, though its completion would not be realized till his successor Konrad Stafyr. --- XXI PALATIN Sir Terensz Mau VKML Sir Terrence de May VKML 285 E.S. - 286 E.S. | 1732 A.H. - 1733 A.H. @Piov Monarch(s): Andrik III Political Ideology: Everardian-Feudalist Terenz Mau (Common: Terrence May) is a Haeseni-Heartlander statesmen, descendant from burgher Heartlander refugees who were displaced from Johannesburg and escaped to the North during the Coalition War. A fisherman by trade, May began his ascent into politics after garnering support by his local fishing guild in the County of Ayr, rising to prominence following his appointment to the Duma in representation for the Baruch family, lobbying for the fishing and whaling industry. He was appointed Lord Palatine due to his political savvy with the Imperial government in the wake of the Imperial succession crisis. During his brief term, Terrence May embarked on an ambitious domestic program. He introduced the largest spending measure in Haeseni political history, a package of proposals to fund military, education, and infrastructural provisions. However, his support in the Duma was eclipsed by skeptics and Stephanian-Centralists who believed his policies promoted radical Feudalist efforts to drain the royal treasury. Following a failed bill which would have expanded the Haeseni river systems in a series of canal expansion (which was later given royal assent), he was forced to resign, though remaining active in Haeseni local and imperial politics. --- XXII PALATIN Sir Konrad Stafyr HKML Sir Conrad Stafyr HKML 286 E.S. - 293 E.S. | 1733 A.H. - 1741 A.H. @AndrewTech Monarch(s): Andrik III Deputy(s): Markus Kortrevich, 1st Margravir van Korstadt (I Zweimpalatin; 291 ES - 293 ES) Political Ideology: Stephanian-Centralist Sir Konrad Stafyr (Common: Ser Conrad Stafyr) is a Haeseni nobleman and the cousin of the late Leopold Stafyr, Count of Nenzing, belonging to one of the family’s numerous branches. Originally beginning his career as a bureaucratic clerk under Georg Alimar, Konrad represented the Stafyr family in the Duma for several years and was influential in the early development of the body as one of the first Speakers. The longest serving officeholder in that post, he was called up to the palatinate in 286 in wake of the collapse of Terrence May’s government. Unlike May, who came from lowly gentry and was resented by the established aristocracy, Konrad belonged to the elder echelons of Haeseni nobility and had an easier time in achieving compromise between the Centralist government and the Feudalist landowners. During his tenure in office, Ser Konrad pursued a strong domestic agenda to build upon the domestic achievements of his predecessor Lerald Vyronov, and to a lesser extent, May. Konrad oversaw the completion of the reconstruction of the royal capital (originally damaged in the War of Two Emperors and repairs began under Vyronov), the creation of the first royally-funded grammar school and university, and the increased regulation on commerce, most notably his seizure of the capital inns and taverns and any outlying properties. He also presided over several emergencies during his tenure as palatine, the most notable a short crisis (Crisis of 289) between a provincial-led movement of the Provincial Commission (composing of Haense and numerous other states) and the Imperial government over rights of law and gubernatorial authority. Konrad himself was lead emissary in talks between the two parties, and despite fierce opposition from Feudalist detractors, he propagated a policy of unionism and reconciliation with the federal government and signed the Treaty of Renzfeld (291), disbanding the provincial alliance entirely. The economic and military growth of the kingdom continued under Konrad, and despite participation in the short Orcish-Imperial campaign, the realm remained peaceful and mostly prosperous. With advancing age and personal interests in family matters, Konrad resigned in 293 to his northern estate, spending the majority of his life in companionship with his wife and youngest daughter. --- XXIII PALATIN Markus Kortrevich, 1st Margravir van Korstadt Marcus Kortrevich, 1st Margrave of Korstadt 293 E.S. – 305 E.S. | 1741 A.H. – 1752 A.H. @CaptainZenny Monarch(s): Andrik III, Andrik IV Political Ideology: Stephanian-Centralist Markus Kortrevich (Common: Marcus Kortrevic) is a Haeseni nobleman and knight, belonging to the nascent Kortrevich family of originally gentry origins and serving as Lord Palatine from 293 ES to 305 ES. Once a commander and soldier in the armies of Robert I and Marius II, cutting his teeth with the brutal conflict of the War of Two Emperors, Markus rose up in the civil Haeseni administration as centralist protegee under the senior politicians Ser Terenz Mau and Ser Konrad Stafyr. After the former’s lackluster tenure and the latter’s more successful yet domestically-oriented tenure, Markus was called up to the palatinate, chiefly for his lofty military experience and centralist roots, upon the start of the civil conflicts in southern Haense. Leading a war-time administration, his early career came dominated in the field as commander-in-arms to Andrik III, successfully warding off an assault on Reza (294) by rebel forces and scoring a victory at Hangman’s Bridge (295) in the later spring. While Markus rode the laurels of military achievement, domestically his administration came under siege by rival feudalist opponents. After Markus halted all government projects during the war, including the construction of the canal connecting the river Karov to lake Helena, the feudalist majority called and passed (7-5) a vote of no confidence upon the palatine, though in a political twist of fortune was ignored by Andrik III, leaving him in control of government. In the years following, Markus, as leader of the centralists, would reconstruct its majority in the Duma after a feudalist domination of twenty years, and by the end of his twelve years as palatine, would have flipped the Duma entirely from its traditionally anti-centralist views. Most infamously, Markus survived both an assassination attempt (orchestrated by a disgruntled feudalist during the canal crisis) and later a short time as prisoner of war during the winter months of 299. Markus also continued sponsoring learning and education during his tenure, including the foundation of the first university (called the St Charles University of Reza) under the lead of his later palatinate successor, Georg Alimar the Younger. Later in his career, when the war drifted further from Reza, he continued the work of reconstructing and maintaining the defenses of Haense’s central region. Markus maintained government until the young Andrik IV’s mortal injury and regency, which came instead to be controlled under the military by lead of Sir Tybis Barrow. This transfer of government would eventually lead to Markus’ willing resignation, though he maintained his position in administration as Knight Paramount. --- XXIV PALATIN Sir Georg Alimar (the Younger) Sir George Alimar 305 E.S. - 309 E.S. | 1752 A.H. - 1756 A.H. @Piov Monarch(s): Andrik IV, Sigmund II Political Ideology: Everardian-Centralist Sir Georg Alimar (the Younger, not to be confused with his uncle Georg the Elder, Palatin XX) (Common: George Alimar) was a Haeseni prince and statesman of the Alimar family, serving a palatine briefly for two years from 305 to 307. Originally a scholar by trade, he was called up to the palatine after then-regent Sir Tybis Barrow took control of government upon Andrik IV’s untimely death, though nearly all affairs of government remained vested and in-control of Tybis’ junta regency and Georg himself remained more or less figurehead within the Haeseni administration. With this relationship, most of Georg’s attention focused instead upon the sponsorship and philanthropy of the newly-established Haeseni universities within the realm (namely, the St Charles College of the capital) and commercial ventures, such as the founding the Haeseni Trappers and Fur Company and the hostile takeover of many struggling companies, including the Ludovar Mining Guild (a copper mining company sold to Georg by the 4th Baron of Rostig-Otistadt) and the Southern Haeseni Express. After Tybis’ death in battle in 307, Georg was quickly sidelined by the administration (ironically led by his father, the 4th Prince of Muldav) and retired to serve as president and dean of the St Charles College. --- XXV PALATIN Otto Alimar, 4th Prinzen van Muldav Otto Alimar, 4th Prince of Muldav 309 E.S. - 317 E.S. | 1756 A.H. - 1764 A.H. @Pureimp10 Monarch(s): Sigmund II Political Ideology: Stephanian-Centralist Otto Alimar (Common: Otto Alimar) was a Haeseni prince and statesman of the Alimar family, serving as palatine for nearly a decade from 309 to 317. After the resignation of his son, the elder Alimar assumed office as the prominent figure of the Aulic Government, shepherding the regency until King Sigmund II came of age. Not without controversy, Prince Otto’s appointment as the second consecutive Alimar to preside over the Aulic Government, sparking doubts of his legitimacy by the Valwyck Pact, a lobby of Feudalist lords. During his tenure, Prince Otto clashed with the peers over fiefdom regulations, favoring a centralized approach to architectural styles and land surveys. The compromise with the Valwyck Pact ensured a continuity of government and a codification of the rights of the nobility. Another notable policy of his tenure saw the reforms of the Haeseni military structures, reorienting the Brotherhood of Saint Karl into the Haeseni Royal Army. Other policies include the expansion of state mercantilism with the formation of the Haeseni Fur and Trade Co. with Lord Tiberius Barrow and Lord Rennard Amador to increase revenues. In the realm of foreign affairs, Prince Otto presided over the waning period of the AIS War and the War with Rubern, signifying an end to decades of tension from the early 1700s. --- XXVI PALATIN Petyr Baruch, 2nd Herzen van Valwyk Peter Baruch, 2nd Duke of Valwyck 317 E.S. - 329 E.S. | 1764 A.H. - 1776 A.H. @CaptainHaense Monarch(s): Sigmund II Deputy(s): Paus Otto Barrow HKML (II Zweimpalatin; 317 ES - 327 ES), Sir Konstantin Wick (III Zweimpalatin; 327 ES - 329 ES) Political Ideology: Everardian-Feudalist Petyr Baruch (Common: Peter Baruch) was a Haeseni nobleman, belonging to the ancient House of Baruch and served as Lord Palatine from 317 ES to 329 ES. Prior to this elevation to the Aulic position of Palatine, Petyr Baruch served as the second Duke of Valwyck and later the leader of the Valwyck Pact which was one of the many proponents that led to his eventual appointment to the Palatial Office in 1764. Throughout his tenure, Duke Petyr was instrumental in aiding the Haeseni vassals of Ruthern and Vanir in settling in the Wickwood. Around the same time, the Ducal Palatine resolved the Lendian Crisis that was taking place in the Kingdom for a number of years. Prior to his assumption of the Palatine position, he had many plans and aspirations for the Kingdom that he himself wished to task himself with completing; one of them being the reform of the Aulic Council which led to the recreation of the position of Deputy Palatine (p. Palatine-Aspirant) and the replacement of the Lord Kastellan position with the Royal Envoy (c. Aulic Envoy) position. Later on during his twelve years as Palatine, he completely overhauled the Aulic Government to become a more bureaucratic system known as one of the first of many ‘Aulic Edicts’ passed by King Sigismund II and later King Josef I. The vast majority of Petyr Baruch’s tenure as Palatine took place subsequently throughout the Scyfling Invasion where he himself led a number of defenses at his home fief in Valwyck (located in the northern reaches of Haense). Later in his life following his wife’s sudden death, his mental state sharply declined which led to him assuming his son was responsible for his wife’s unforeseen death, resulting in his own son killing him in an act of self defense. As a result of such events, Petyr Baruch was later succeeded by his colleague, Konstantin Wick in 1776, the very same year King Sigismund II took his own life. --- XXVII PALATIN Sir Konstantin Wick HKML Sir Constantine Wick HKML 329 E.S. - 361 E.S. | 1776 A.H. - 1808 A.H. @Xarkly Monarch(s): Josef I, Heinrik II Deputy(s): Viktoriya van Bihar (vas Ruthern), Koenas van Haenz (IV Zweimpalatin; 329 ES - 337 ES), Marcella Barclay (V Zweimpalatin; 356 ES - 361 ES) Political Ideology: Everardian-Feudalist Sir Konstantin Wick (Common: Sir Constantine Wick) was a renowned attorney of law, later serving as palatine from 329 ES to 361 ES. Serving as the longest serving Lord Palatine to date, Sir Wick was appointed following the retirement of his predecessor and the abrupt death of King Sigismund. His tenure was defined by nearly three decades of service which saw the end of the AIS War, the annexation of Rubern, the Independence of the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska from the Holy Orenian Empire, and the codification of a modern Haeseni law code. He was also a notable Josephite politician in Oren, serving concurrently as President and Member of the House of Commons prior to the Treaty of Helena of 1786. Despite being a member of the Wick clan, Sir Konstantin’s tenure also saw a dramatic unfolding of tensions between his kinsmen and the state. Throughout the reign of King Josef, a series of incidents regarding alleged brutality by the Haeseni Royal Army (HRA) upon the Wicks, stemming from a systemic history of marginalization that dates back to the early Bihar Era. Palatine Wick was unable to foresee and prevent incidents regarding the Wick arrests, closure of the New Reza library, and the protests concerning corruption in the HRA. These events were depicted by the Golden Crow Chronicles as the ‘Nikirala of Discontent.’ Following the independence of the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska, Palatine Wick was instrumental in the establishment of an independent judiciary. The codification of the Haurul Caezk is considered by many to be the epitome of a storied career. Sir Wick was also a patron of legal philosophy and legal education, thereby shepherding the role of lawyers, the courts, and jovenaars. --- XXVIII PALATIN Marcella Barclay Marcella Barclay 361 E.S. - 363 E.S. | 1808 A.H. - 1810 A.H. @Zaerie Monarch(s): Heinrik II Deputy(s): Maric Ruthern, 6th Herzen van Vidaus (VI Zweimpalatin; 361 ES - 363 ES) Political Ideology: Everardian-Centralist Marcella Barclay (Common: Marcella Barclay) was a Haeseni noblewoman from the militant House of Barclay, serving as palatine briefly from 361 ES to 363 ES. She is the first woman to serve as the Palatine of the Realm. In her first year as Palatine, she directly oversaw the naming of all the land encompassed by the Haeseni realm on Almaris. In her second year as Palatine, she saw reason to reallocate funds to the Haeseni Royal Army to benefit them with new armaments and supplies. As a result of such action, the Army under the leadership of Lord Marshal Friedrich Barclay saw increased morale throughout the Rimetroll raids. Despite Marcella only being in the Palatial Office for the better part of two years, she was instrumental in campaigning for the first elven house to obtain Haeseni nobility. Through her efforts, the House of Asul’onn was granted Haeseni nobility a few years following her resignation. Directly following her resignation, her Deputy Palatine, Maric var Ruthern succeeded her as the twenty-ninth Lord Palatine. Nothing more of significant note occurred during the first female Palatinialship, although it is to be noted that since her elevation to become the first Lady Palatine, more and more women in Haense have garnered the ambition to strive to further heights in the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska. --- XXIX PALATIN Maric Ruthern, 6th Herzen van Vidaus Marick Ruthern, 6th Duke of Vidaus 363 E.S. - 379 E.S. | 1810 A.H. - 1826 A.H. @GMRO Monarch(s): Heinrik II Political Ideology: Stephanian-Centralist Maric Ruthern (Common: Marick Ruthern) is a Haeseni nobleman and Duke from the ancient House of Ruthern, serving as palatine from 363 E.S. until his resignation in 379 E.S. Prior to his ascension to become the twenty-ninth Lord Palatine, Lord Ruthern was appointed as Deputy Palatine underneath Lady Marcella’s palatinal administration. Following the unforeseen resignation of his predecessor, King Heinrik II quickly appointed the Duke to ascend to the Palatial office. As the third Ruthern to occupy the Palatial office, he quickly took command as he led the Aulic government through a strenuous time during both the Rimetroll War and the expedition to the Attenlund province. Throughout his tenure in office, Lord Ruthern; the Stephanian-Centralist, placed a distinct emphasis on both solving domestic issues and issues abroad, while keeping the interests of the Kingdom at a forefront. Many of these issues including; The Greyspine Convention, The Eftenbach Edict, the reallocation of funds to the Northern Geographical Society and reforms to dueling and nobility laws were all measures that were assisted by the purview of the Ducal Ruthern. As is the case with every Palatine, conflict is inevitable to occur, Lord Ruthern’s tenure was no exception. Immediately after the Royal Academy operated for eight years (specifically, the Royal Academy of St. Charles), Lord Ruthern was delegated responsibility of the Academy after Hauchdragus Sir Viktor Kortrevich’s resignation, which quickly led to the institution’s collapse. Although it is to be noted that later on in his tenure, the return of the formerly used ‘Haeseni Civil Service Exam’ came to fruition after the founding of the University of Saint Otto in 376 E.S. In his latter years as Palatine, he also assumed responsibility of High Justiciar briefly for three years following the vacancy left after High Justicar Matyas Baruch (VIII) was suddenly murdered. During his time as High Justiciar, he presided as the prosecutor of two major trials; the Baruch, et al. vs. Surgeon General of Hanseti-Ruska trial and the Ruthern vs. Wick trial. As the head of the Aulic Council, Lord Palatine Maric var Ruthern was someone who aided in keeping the peace during the incursion of the Rimeveld and helped mend relations between vassals and neighboring states. After sixteen long years as an occupant of the Palatial office, the elder Duke willingly resigned to his estate in Vidaus wherein he lived a life focused on family. As a result of such a decision, Attenlund expeditioner Adrian Colborn ascended to the Palatial office. --- XXX PALATIN Aydrian Colborn Adrian Colborn 379 E.S. - 393 E.S. | 1826 A.H. - 1840 A.H. @JuliusAakerlund Monarch(s): Heinrik II, Sigmund III Deputy(s): Kaustantin Baruch (VII Zweimpalatin; 389 ES - 393 ES) Political Ideology: Everardian-Centralist Adrian Colborn (Common: Adrian Colborn) from the ancient House of Colborn, serving as Palatine from 379 E.S. until his resignation in 393 E.S. where he was succeeded by his deputy, Kaustantin Baruch. Adrian served as Palatine for the Latter half of Heinrik II’s reign and the beginning of Sigismund III. Attenland expeditioner Adrian Colborn was appointed to the position of Lord Palatine following a falling out between former Lord Palatine Maric Ruthern and King Henrik II. Adrian was an amiable man with much respect from his peers, but holding no office or role in government prior to this appointment ruffled the feathers of many within the Aulic Council. Adrian was hoisted into the position during a tumultuous period, and had to deal with many internal conflicts, such as the conflict between the Ducal Union Houses and House Barclay. Adrian spent much of his tenure acting as the Crown’s personal diplomat and negotiator, as Henrik’s wroth and fiery temperament aggrieved many a noble peer. Adrian’s tenure is marked by the malaise of the Haeseni people and stagnation of the Aulic government, between Adrian’s lack of administrative experience and Henrik’s fiery temper; more time was spent putting out fires than strategizing a government approach. Adrian spent most of this time in meetings with disgruntled nobles which made very little progress in solving the problems despite his best efforts. Following the abdication of Henrik II, Adrian stayed on as Palatine for his son, Sigismund III for the first few years before retiring from public life and spending his time tending to and constructing his newly earned Barony of Bethlehen. --- XXXI PALATIN Kaustantin Baruch Constantine Baruch 393 E.S. - 402 E.S. | 1840 A.H. - 1849 A.H. @Herod Monarch(s): Sigmund III Deputy(s): Eirik Baruch, 6th Herzen van Valwyck (XVII Zweimpalatin; 393 ES - 402 ES) Political Ideology: Stephanian-Centralist Kaustantin Baruch (Common: Constantine Baruch) from the esteemed House of Baruch, serving as Palatine from 392 E.S. until his resignation in 402 E.S. where he was succeeded by his Cousin, Eirik. Kaustantin served as Palatine for the early years of Sigismund III’s reign. Kaustantin’s tenure was marred by the growing hostility with the Oreniam Empire after the March on Cathalon by King Sigismund III, for perceived insults against the Royal Family by the Duke of Cathalon. The Major successes of his time in office revolved around the Royal Duma, where the Lord Palatine was very active. Kaustantin used the Royal Duma to pass the reformed Haurul Caezk (Law Codex), which he and the king personally wrote. Kaustantin often used the Duma to pass government reforms or ideas rather than edict, as he held the right of nobility to advise the Crown to be a sacred contract, and wished to champion the voice of the people of Haense. Kaustantin also saw the end to the unpopular Silver War, which saw the Silver Kingdom of Haelun’or compensate Haense and bear sole responsibility for the conflict between the two nations. This, among his other successes in office are largely overshadowed by the souring relations between the Crown and the Empire, which brought the two nations to the brink of War. Kaustantin resigned as Lord Palatine in 402 ES, unofficially passing his position off to his kin, Eirik Baruch, who served as the Lord Palatine for the remainder of King Sigismund III’s reign. --- XXXII PALATIN Eirik Baruch, 6th Herzen van Valwyck Eric Baruch, 6th Duke of Valwyck 402 E.S. - Present | 1849 A.H. - Present @Gusano Monarch(s): Sigmund III Deputy(s): Isabel Baruch, 7th Herzenas van Valwyck (XVIII Zweimpalatin; 402 ES - 426 ES) Political Ideology: Everardian-Feudalist Eirik Baruch (Common: Eric Baruch) is the 6th Duke of Valwyck from the esteemed House of Baruch, serving as Palatine from 402 E.S. until his resignation in 426 E.S. where he was succeeded by his daughter, Isabel. Eirik served as Palatine for the majority of Sigismund III’s reign, and the first few months of Karl III. Upon the time of his ascension to the position, the realm was plagued by matters of foreign diplomacy, the downfall of Emperor Phillip II and the succession of Phillip III to the Imperial Throne, followed by the combined effort of Oren and Savoy to overthrow High Pontiff Everard VI. Eirik was personally present during the schism attempt, and ordered the successful evacuation of the High Pontiff for which he was posthumously venerated for. These events would eventually culminate in the start of the Sinners’ War. As the war took the attention of Sigismund III and Eirik, domestic matters were given less emphasis, though Eirik nevertheless saw to develop a functional ward system for the Palatial Office, to which he managed to recruit a large number of the next generation, whom he taught lessons and gave Palatial Ward Points (a service in which they could redeem favours from him, it is known that, for example, Konstanz Barclay received keys to the Lord Palatine’s Office) for attending lessons, completing tasks, and generally being a presence within the Kingdom. He was one of the primary supporters of the Karenina Accord, having been present at the meeting where the initiative for the Accord was started, and he frequently attended rallies and protests in favour of the Accord. He was the one to pen the Karenina Law, which passed unanimously in the Royal Duma, and brought upon a new age of Women’s Rights in Haense, now that women would inherit on the same terms as men. He also attempted to implement a position called Palatial Liaisons, which were meant to be individuals assigned to communicate specifically with another Aulic Office, but due to a lack of engagement from the Aulic Councillors regarding the establishment, he had to resort to simply hosting meetings of the Aulic Council more frequently, especially as such had rarely been held since the tenure of Konstantin Wick. Due to his aptitude for history, Eirik also revived the tradition of Chancellor’s Reports, which had last been done during the tenure of Terrence May, over a hundred years before Eirik’s own appointment. He published four Chancellor’s Reports during the war, where three of them mostly pertained to the Sinner’s War, and the last to the death of Sigismund III. He resigned in 1873, a month into the reign of Karl III. He was succeeded as Lord Palatine by his daughter, Isabel. --- XXXIII PALATIN Isabel Baruch, 7th Herzenas van Valwyck Isabel Baruch, 7th Duchess of Valwyck 426 E.S. - 442 E.S. | 1873 A.H. -1889 A.H. (16 yrs) @sarahbarah Monarch(s): Karl III Deputy(s): Ser Grigory Vyronov (XIX Zweimpalatin; 434 ES - 441 ES) Political Ideology: Stephanian-Feudalist Isabel Baruch (Common: Isabel Baruch) is the 7th Duchess of Valwyck from the esteemed House of Baruch, serving as palatine from 426 E.S. until her resignation in 442 E.S. Isabel was the daughter of the previous Lord Palatine, Eirik Baruch, and served as his deputy until his resignation, where she took over as Palatine for King Karl III. Isabel served as Palatine during the Successor’s War, and represented Karl and the Aulic Government at many diplomatic meetings during the postering and manoeuvring to isolate Krugmar and the Kingdom of Oren. Thanks to her diplomatic efforts, The Kingdom of Haense won a war against Oren without a single staged battle. Outside of her external successes with the war, Isabel focused on promoting Haeseni culture and educating others within the Kingdom. She revived and restructured the Haeseni Library, continued the educational ward program, and furthered the research into the history of the Kingdom of Haense. After 15 years of service, Isabel retired from public life and vacated her position as Lady Palatine, shortly following this Lady Johanna Barclay was appointed to the position. --- XXXIV PALATIN Johanna Barclay, 6th Herzenas van Reinmar Johanna Barclay, 6th Duchess of Reinmar 442 E.S. - 454 E.S. | 1889 A.H. -1901 A.H. (12 yrs) @Zaerie Monarch(s): Karl III Deputy(s): None Political Ideology: Stephanian-Feudalist Johanna Barclay (Common: Johanna Barclay) was the 6th Duchess of Reinmar from the militant House of Barclay, serving as palatine from 442 E.S. until her death in 454 E.S., where she was succeeded by Karl III’s youngest son, Prince Marius Audemar. While her predecessor focused much on foreign matters, Johanna focused mainly on the domestic front. She created the palatial post, a newspaper to inform the general public on important affairs within the Kingdom of Haense, and reformed the Palatine Office by removing the educational ward program, which had been in disuse for many years. Johanna formed a Palatinal Guard made up of loyal and promising members of the Brotherhood of Saint Karl. She also reformed laws on duelling within the realm, and attempted to create a Karosgrad city council before it was rejected by the Royal Duma. Johanna also saw her fair amount of controversy during her tenure, being a proponent and supporter of King Karl III’s plan to vassalize Norland, which drew the ire from some peers who were still fatigued by the Sinners’ and Successors’ Wars. Similarly, Johanna found herself in controversy again when she implemented the Nauherzen, a system to aid promising houses in working for a barony. This proposal agitated the established nobility who saw this as a shortcut and felt the lower class families would not have to earn their titles as their ancestors did, the proposal was eventually disregarded after the backlash. In the later years of Johanna’s tenure, she grew manic and isolated, and the government work was largely burdened by the rest of the Aulic Councillors. This persisted until her death in the Inferi siege, where she was killed after the tower she was stationed in collapsed onto her. Marius Audemar, the younger brother of Georg I and second son of Karl III would then succeed her as Palatine. --- XXXV PALATIN Marius Barbanov, 5th Herzen van Markev Marius Barbanov, 5th Duke of Markev 454 E.S. - 459 E.S. | 1901 A.H. -1906 E.S. (4 yrs) @Mio Monarch(s): Karl III Deputy(s): None Political Ideology: Stephanian-Centralist Marius Audemar Barbanov (Common: Marus Barbanov) is a Haeseni Prince and Duke from the royal House of Barbanov, serving as palatine from 453 E.S. until his resignation in 459 E.S. Marius is the son of Karl III and brother of Georg I, serving as his father’s Lord Palatine for a brief stint following the death of Lady Johanna Barclay. During his tenure, he focused mainly on the expansion of the Royal City of Karosgrad, completely renovating and expanding the eastern side of the Capital and turning the city into one of the Largest Ports on Almaris. After finishing the City expansion, Marius resigned following the death of his father and mother, Karl III and Amadea of Susa, to grieve the loss of his parents. --- XXXVI PALATIN Iosif Basrid, Haucepiskop wir Jorenus Joseph Basrid, Archbishop of Jorenus 459 E.S. - 474 E.S. | 1906 A.H. - 1921 E.S. (15 yrs) @Nolan_ Monarch(s): Georg I Deputy(s): Otto Gant, Bossir van Gant (XX Zweimpalatin; 459 ES - 468 ES), Carolus Colborn, Vikomit van Venzia (468 ES - 475 ES) Political Ideology: Everardian-Centralist Iosif Basird (Common: Joseph Basrid) is a Haeseni-Rhenyari clergyman, serving as Lord Palatine from 459 E.S. until his resignation in 474 E.S. Iosif was appointed to the position of Lord Palatine when Prince Marius resigned to mourn the death of his parents, Karl III and Amadea of Susa. Georg I appointed his close confidant and Court Chaplain Iosif to the position to help guide him during the early years of his reign. Iosif spent much of his tenure conducting reforms in the name of Georg I, who deemed it necessary to shake up the Aulic Government from its sluggish stagnation that metastasized in the final years of Karl III’s reign. Iosif and Georg completely reformed the Judicial system, removing the position of High Justiciar, and giving more power to the Jovenaars. Secondly, he reformed the Stewardry within the Capital of Karosgrad, simplifying the procedure to purchase a house or shop, and lowering taxes as well as stipulations to control the hoarding of unused buildings and houses. Finally, Iosif reformed the civil knightly order, creating the Civil Orders of Merit in place of the old Maya and the Lily order which had fallen into disrepair due to lack of record-keeping. Iosif also reestablished the Chancellor Reports in order to form a direct link between the Government and its people. During his tenure, Iosif strengthened the Government's power within the city of Karosgrad by nationalizing the Karosgrad Tavern, retaking it following years of private mismanagement, and commissioned a public museum following the closing of the Northern Geographical Society’s private museum. Iosif also saw foreign and diplomatic success with the formation of the Canonist League to combat the seceding Duchy of Adria, led by the Excommunicated Duke Adrian, which had defeated the United Kingdom of Aunn and gained its independence. Iosif resigned in 474 E.S., following the death of Pontian IV, where he campaigned in the College of Cardinals to be the Successor to the Pontificate. Iosif eventually won, becoming High Pontiff Sixtus V and vacating the Haeseni Chancellery, where he was succeeded by his former Deputy and Lord Emissar, Otto Gant. --- XXXVII PALATIN Otto Gant, 4th Bossir van Gant Otto Gant, 4th Baron of Gant 474 E.S. - 484 E.S. | 1921 A.H. - 1931 A.H. @Drew2_dude Monarch(s): Georg I, Aleksandr II Deputy(s): Carolus Colborn, Vikomit van Venzia (474 ES - 475 ES), Aleksandr Ruthern, Herzen van Vidaus (476 ES - 478 ES), Roslin Baruch, Herzenas van Valwyck (480 ES - Present) Political Ideology: Stephanian-Feudalist Otto Gant (Common: Otto Gant) is a Haeseni statesman from the Cadet branch of House Baruch-Gant, serving as Lord Palatine from 474 E.S. until his resignation in 484 E.S. Otto was appointed to the position of Lord Palatine following the resignation of Patriarch Iosif Basrid after his participation in the pontifical election and eventual victory, becoming High Pontiff Sixtus V. Georg I appointed his former cupbearer and Lord Emissar to continue the work of his predecessor in guiding and advising him throughout the remainder of his reign. Otto’s tenure was spent continuing the issue of Aulic reforms as Georg ordered, the main two being the Royal Duma with the Edict of Wilheburg, creating a two-bodied Royal Duma; and the reformation of the Royal Archives with the Viktorian Edict, which reformed the Archives that had been left defunct for many decades now, leaving the historical and cultural information severely outdated. Otto’s domestic policy took place at a time of great change, his greatest achievement being the construction of the new capital city of Valdev on the continent of Aevos following the fleeing from the Morri of Almaris. Prior to this however, Otto opened the Georgian Museum which focused on the History of Haense, and the published declassified documents from the Gant Commission in order to establish transparency and trust between the Government and its peoples. The Gant Commission's declassified documents confirmed the Vyronov Conspiracy, the Haeseni government’s successful obstruction of the Empire’s attempts to subvert the will of the Crown of Haense, and the assassination of King Marius II and the parties involved. During Otto’s tenure on Aevos, he brought the kingdom out of its debt that it had incurred to the monks following the relocating to the continent of Aevos and borrowing of supplies to settle the city of Valdev, once again providing the Kingdom with a minae surplus. Otto also negotiated a deal with The Collective, a group of arms dealers, to arm the Brotherhood of Saint Karl after it had lost much of its inventory in the relocation. Otto’s foreign diplomacy was plagued with the issue of the Duchy of Adria. Following his predecessors strategy, He recommitted to the Canonist League, and plotted multiple successful assassination attempts on high value targets, including his own daughter who had betrayed Haense for the rogue Duchy, and the daughter of Georg I, Princess Mariya who attempted to marry the young Duke of the Rogue state potentially causing claimant issues for the Crown of Haense. Following Georg I’s disappearance and the coronation of Aleksander II, Otto stayed on as his Palatine to aid in advising the new King. When Aleksandr II went on an expedition to explore the new continent, Otto reigned as Lord Regent of Haense from 482 to 484 E.S. During this time, Otto received much criticism for his elitist tendencies, rather than being seen publicly, he was only ever spotted on the balcony of his office in the highest tower of the palace. This is from which he gained his nickname Otto “High Tower'' for his elitist and isolationist status. Following the return of Aleksandr II, Otto finally retired from managing the state of Affairs as Lord Palatine but stayed on as an advisor to the Crown, he spent the rest of his days in the newly constructed duchy of Valwyck in the Westerwald of Haense.
