Isana au Isard lowers his head sadly. "Ah gud man, t'at 'un. Ye 'l be missed, yer lad-ship."

Yo! Recently, someone left a baby item in the basement of my character’s house, and I, being the chaotic gremlin I am, decided to run with it and make it my character’s legal heir. I am looking for someone to play an Orc, Goblin, or Uruk girl. She will be the adoptive daughter of Isana au Isard. -=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The Child The child is named Marja Wren au Isard, named in honor of Isana’s friend Marjorie. They are currently an undefined young age, so there is no particular rush for you to start, just whenever convenient. Marja Wren does not yet have any siblings as Isana is unmarried as of present, but there are set to be quite a few other children in various Silasian familes over the next few months, so you won’t be the only child around town. Marja Wren’s personality, appearance, and character arc are up to you, but please let me know the general gist of your goals for the character. If you are able to play Marja Wren often with this character, awesome, but this is not a top priority. Once a player is found, I will commission a skin for them based on how you would like the character to look. -=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The Family The adoptive parent is Isana au Isard dwedki Irongrinder. Isana is currently the Knight-Marshall commander of the Silasian military, head of a recently created noble family, sits on the Grand Duchy of Silasia’s Fair Council, and is the Silasian diplomat assigned to Western Aevosi nations. When not politicking, Isana is often found engineering or building infrastructure projects. Isana is an odd duck. While kindhearted, playful and fiercely protective of others, he claims to have been raised by a ‘Giana Irongrinder’ in Urguan (despite there being no evidence of this other than his Dwed accent), claims to have been engaged to an Urukess of clan Lur when he was 17, designs functional but unsafe industrial equipment, scatters alliums much anywhere he goes, and enjoys playfully gaslighting people around him. It is unclear if he is actually unhinged or if this is just a more elaborate gaslighting routine. There is currently no mother, as Isana is as yet unmarried. -=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Interested? If you enjoy family RP and quirky RP, please DM me on Discord at Bloody_Russian. Can’t wait to see what you do!

The Allium Blooms ISSUED BY: The House of au Isard c. 23rd of Malin's Welcome, 191 S.A. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- INTRODUCTION: Greetings. The Family au Isard hopes that you find this notice well. Things The Family au Isard joyfully announces that it has welcomes its newest member. In the last year, a wee child was left in the basement of the seat of House au Isard for unknown reasons, and given the temporary name 'Marjoria' in honor of a family friend. After caring for Marjoria for some time, the Family au Isard has come to a decision. As of 191 S.A., Isana au Isard formally announces the adoption of Marjoria as his lawful child according to the laws and customs of the Grand Duchy of Silasia. Barring unforeseen tragedy, the child formerly known as Marjoria will from this day forth be known as MARJA WREN AU ISARD, and will be his lawful heir unless otherwise specified. CELEBRATION: Although the naming of Marja Wren will not be officially celebrated until they have reached at least five years of age, the Family au Isard extends to all citizens of the Grand Duchy of Silasia an informal invitation to the HOLD OF WIDOW'S PEAK for a feast commemorating the child's adoption. Respectfully, Isana au Isard Riteris-Marshall of the Argent Order of the Titan, Silasian Skyrimas and Vice-Delegate for Western Aevos [!] The Official Seal of the House of au Isard! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ((OOC INFORMATION BELOW))

Isana au Isard quirks a bushy eyebrow before shaking his head. “Ma woodnae be proud o’ tis chet.”

Isana au Isard scowls. "T'is bee a big load of kerrem-zkah if ye ask me. T'ere be ein queen o' Petra, an' t'at be Adalia-lass." The slightly pudgy Heartlander tears the missive, pacing into the Big Alrisha Memorial Square.

Isana au Isard grins, quickly scrawling an RSVP on the public notice. “Ye did et, yer dukeship!”

The House of au Isard Founded 21st of The Amber Cold, 188 S.A. House Words: “Minimum Pretium Porrum” -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Origins The pre-nobility Family au Isard has unclear origins. Its founder, Isana, appears to have had either an entirely fictional or extremely bizarre backstory that is impossible to confirm or deny. After the death of his father when he was a few weeks old, he claimed to have been raised in Urguan by a dwed, Giana of clan Irongrinder, and speaks with a strong Underfolk accent, but seemed to know absolutely nothing about runesmithing or golemancy. He bore an unfathomable fascination with Orcs and claimed to have been previously engaged to a goblin named ‘Danl’lur’ who was murdered at the altar by a toothless hag, and he spoke fluent Blah, but no such name appears in Luraqi or Urguani records (though the name does appear in several Hyspian tax records, oddly enough). He claimed to have been a traveling merchant previously based in western Aevos, but had not a silver penny to his name upon arriving in Silasia. Perhaps most weirdly, he developed an odd fascination with mooing at any pregnant woman he saw, but only those he considered close friends. Possible myths aside, the House proper was founded several years after Isana came to the Sylvan Duchy of Brabant (now the Grand Duchy of Silasia). The Isards quickly threw themselves into the Order of the Titan (predecessor to the current Karunele Mountain Dragoons). Within several years, the family found themselves commanding the Order and were awarded a spot on the Duchy’s Fair Council and Diplomatic Bureau (despite the family’s insistence on calling the Duchy a ‘Dukey’). --=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Culture Despite living in the Grand Duchy of Silasia (where Waldenian accents are common), members of the Family au Isard often speak with a Dwed accent to varying degrees due to their history living with Dwarves, and tend to refer to time in ‘Stone’ days, months and years rather than ‘Saints’. With the exception of Hou-Zi (of which their founder bared an irrational fear), au Isards tend to completely disregard one’s race and social status, and are willing to embrace any Orc, Elf, Dwarf and Beastfolk alike as equals. The family has a strict taboo (punishable by disownment) against killing or eating any form of crab, which they consider honorary citizens of Silasia. Public service and aiding those less fortunate is strongly emphasized in the Family au Isard, and altruism is considered the highest second highest virtue, second only to humility. Businesses The Family au Isard chairs the East Aevos Company, a small, mildly unprofitable middleman trade business centered in Lotusgrad. They have also recently sponsored the creation of the Allium Free Shipwrights, a shipbuilding firm based in the Grand Duchy of Silasia.

Issuing Body: The House of au Isard 2nd of Malin's Welcome, 188 S.A. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WANTED Alive and Unharmed ONLY! Reason: Family/Friend Bonding A photo of Baby Elliott REWARD: 20 mina Elliot Falkner, son of Lothair and Marjorie Falkner poses no threat, whatsoever towards the citizens of the Duchy of Brabant-Silasia. He has committed no crimes, nor made any effort to offend any citizen. Such heinous innocence must not go unrewarded. As such, the House au Isard, acting in good faith towards the House Falkner and in affection for its patriarch's godchild, is formally sponsoring the Duchy of Brabant-Silasia's first recreational bounty! Whichever brotherly bounty hunter, amiable assassin or magnanimous mage (or any other profession!) manages to steal away Elliot and deliver him safely (unharmed!) to the arms of Isana au Isard or Duke Sterling Whitewood will receive a bounty of 20 mina from the House of au Isard. Be warned: Elliot may be occasional be found in a barrel. This hunt is not for the faint of heart. ------------------------------------------------- Yours in Friendship,

Isana au Isard, yawning as he opens his door in the morning, finds a copy of the scroll nailed to his door. Grumbling, he unfolds the parchment and reads it. He places it to the side to read again once he fully awakens. Shortly after, he again reads it, this time absorbing its contents as his jade eyes flick over the words. "Gud ideas can be gud ideas, naematter ta source."

Isana au Isard smirks faintly, a thin smile playing upon his lips . "T'at be me lad! A chaenge fer ta batt'r in polit'cs!"

Isana au Isard smiles, slowly clapping his hands. "Ah new lead fer ta Dwed be gud. Ah look forwarda seein' wot ye do, Starbreaker lad."

Isana smiles faintly as he examines the invitation. "Gud ta see t'at ye foind lov, laddie. Mae ye'ave many weefolk."

Isana's lips twist into a faint smile as he reads the missive. "Per'aps ta folk o' Vikela will see tat there be multiple kinds o' freed'm. Freed'm o' speech, freed'm o' association....but mor 'mportant, freed'm from fear. Oi wish ye well, laddeh-boy."

Isana silently agrees with Kezmur's sentiment.

Upon reviewing a copy of this missive in the Birchwood Tavern, Isana au Isard shakes his head, grabbing hold of the vellum parchment. "War be ah abumination, laddie. Nae need fer pointless ardol war." Isana rips down the parchment, folding his hands behind his back as the sheet ripples lightly in the humid breeze.

Isana grins, moving to sign the notice. "Oi'd love ta go!"

Isana nods, a small smirk playing upon his lips as he reads the CCC’s counter-notice. “Time fer ta Weefolk and tallfolk ta merc ta Greenfolk. Warmest o’ wishes, nak’mar.”

Isana au Isard shakes his head upon reading the missive. “Crav’n raties, ta lot o’ ‘em. Imagine get’n mad like tree huggers.”

Isana sighs, shaking his head. “Oi wish Danl’Lur nae had died after our weddin’. A gud Uruk, tha’ lass. She nae would o’ klomped friends over trees o’ trampled churches fer nae gud.” He turns to pace towards the barracks, scowling all the while. “Nae hon’r in pointless war. Craven raties, ta lot o’ em.”

Isana grins upon seeing the notice. “A child!”

((Several fliers with barely legible writing have been posted on Brabant's notice board.)) On the Subject of Culture... To Whom It May Concern... OY! Oy! Having shared values and traditions are important to keep families together. Brabant is a big family. So, we need culture to be….cultured… ((Something incomprehensible has been scribbled out here)). Cultured. Culture. Cultured...anyway... Anyway! Brabant is a ((incomprehensible text)) and needs shared cultural icons. A group of Brabantine citizens has come together to draw up a list of potential court/state songs and icons to represent the spirit of the Brabantine people. Attached below are a list of songs composed by ((incomprehensible names)) and items chosen by ((more incomprehensible names)). Proposed National Anthems/Ducal Court Songs Call of the Coronet Mountains ((Real Name: Triarii – The Final Legion; https://youtu.be/oAy7o4GxiVs?si=vxzBTwTrMRs9U1M4)) ((Reason: ‘Coronet Mountains’ is a proposed name for the northern Brabantine hills). Viceroyalty and Valor ((Real Name: Saboton – Ruina Imperii Orchestral Remix; https://youtu.be/oAy7o4GxiVs?si=kKsdleQ68FkeqJ6b)) The Second Sun ((Real Name: Triarii – Ode to the Sun; https://youtu.be/9NrxHTTPufg?si=b2cCRPJu2YISCNI8)) ((Reason: Due to the recent absence of the sun, the descendants have been forced to become a new ‘sun’, being the force to drive out the darkness from Aevos.)) Wild’s Triumph and Tragedy ((Real Name: Triarii – Muse in Arms; https://youtu.be/i1khAc9nJpI?si=o_uNqddyJvExIshY)) ((Reason: Brabant is based. More specifically, Brabant is based in the untamed Briarwood Forest. As nature (the descendants) triumphs over the hostile lands, nature also suffers tragedy (destruction of the wild). Brabant strives to keep this in balance.)) Briarwood Brothers; Sterling Sisters ((Real Name: Ugniavijas - Oi Šermukšnio; https://youtu.be/cyA6Ekh70hA?si=o4Rr0F4Wbc0lGKeO.)) ((Reason: Brabant is in the Briarwood Forest, and the ducal family is House Sterling.)) Proposed National Animals Blue Crab: Brabant is on the coast of a lake, which ostensibly has crabs. Disregard the fact that no one has seen them. This is only included because a certain member of our committee was obsessed with the rights of crabs to full citizenship. Swan: The swan is already a common symbol in Brabant. It could potentially be nationalized. Proposed National Plant Mulberry Shrub: Brabant is packed with thorny mulberry shrubs. A bane to invaders, a boon to foragers, it is perhaps the most widely known plant in the Briarwood Forest other than the often-maligned birch tree. Birch Tree: A symbol of Brabant’s devotion to living with nature. Proposed Holiday Duke’s Day: A symbol of the duchy’s founding. Celebrated each anniversary of the Lotusgrad settlement. Often abbreviated to D-Day. ((I had to)). Best, The Brabantine Crab Rights Committee The Brabantine Cultural Committee

isana au Isard eyes the maps carefully. He turns to Petronella and quips, “Nice maps, methinks lass. Certainl’ practical. But ‘ouse? Oi nae ‘ave one, much less one that’ oi named De Rosius.” He turns to follow Marjorie to the river.

Personally, I really like the idea of an Orcish language. However, if that language is a bastardized form of English/Common....it tends to encourage memery and foolish phrasing. I believe a full Orcish language should be developed and utilized by the Orcs, as it would 1. Add to the culture and depth of the Orcish Race 2. Differentiate them from the Dwed's peculiar brand of Common further 3. Discourage meta as very few non-orcs would bother to learn such a language and 4. Be VERY fun to develop. I've been developing a fictional language of my own for one of my writings for quite some time, and I can certainly say that it truly does grant a true appreciation for the structures and nuances of dialects, as well as more fully immerse one into a story, as Elvish in the Tolkien universe does.
