Yoooo LLIR WAS MOD ADMIN FOR A MINUTE?! @Josh3738 Congrats Josh!

Maeve af Brasca, who had been very busy raising her children with her husband, Jan, smiled upon hearing her brother Adrian would be eventually assuming the Galbraith title. She wondered if perhaps she should visit her family again soon and make amends with her older brother who had been terribly afraid of her during their childhood.

not leaving entirely just yet, don't worry!!!

Every few years I go on hiatus, but this time it looks like it'll be a bit longer than usual. As some of you MAY know I'm getting married in April and have been pretty focused on real life versus mineman lately and have even been just straight up neglecting to get on LOTC except for in small bursts when I have the time. No it is not because of anything that happened ON LOTC, it's simply because I've realized I truly do not have the time to manage all of the things I wanted to manage, while also managing a REAL life with my fiancé, @DistendedAura. This isn't a goodbye forever, obviously, just a hiatus. If I do later find that I'd prefer to stay off the platform, then I'll be officially departing with a proper post. To those of you who I have in friend discords/Norlanders, I'll still be around to hang out with you but not on LOTC as much as you'd like me to be, if at all. I've realized trying to manage politics on my Hyspian, while it sounds very fun, is a bit too stressful to do while I'm in the process of planning a wedding and the rest of my life. Same with trying to become a priest on Maeve. It isn't that I don't enjoy myself anymore, because the short times I am ABLE to get online, I really do enjoy myself. It's just that I simply cannot find myself having the time to manage it all at once. Thanks again to all of my friends who hang with me, both inside of LOTC and outside and a BIG BIG sorry to @TheHunter38who plays Jan (Maeve's husband) and @Marshiwho plays Fleur for dipping like this. If I had more time, I'd definitely be more active and able to hang, but I'd love to support your endeavors from afar, if only for a little bit. We'll circle back around on how active I'll be going forward AFTER April (wedding/honeymoon/seeing my family, etc) and if I decide I truly don't have the time I may encourage all the people who were previously relying on me to find other endeavors. If you don't mind waiting or only seeing me sometimes, I'll be here for you, so no worries there :D This post was super scatter brained, but unfortunately I'm recovering from covid which means my brain is fogged up beyond BELIEF. Thank you again for your continued patience with my brain rot (adulting is hard, roll credits)

C. 1955 PENNED by the HOUSE OF HALCOURT TO THE PEOPLE OF HYSPIA, With the Disappearance of our House Patriarch, Sir Laurens Halcourt d’Artois, the Barony of Campagnon has been left without a baron for over 8 summers. The council of Clermont has seen fit to officially declare Sir Laurens missing and presumed dead. The House of Halcourt shall enter a period of mourning, and with this does the house name Sir Laurens’ Heir, Her Ladyship Phoibe Chloe Halcourt d’Artois du Clermont, Baroness of Campagnon and she and her heirs shall hold claim to the house and the titles held by Sir Laurens. Due to the unknown status of Sir Laurens, the house has decided against a formal vigil and shall instead privately mourn his loss. Signed, The Right Honourable, Phoibe Chloe Halcourt Baroness of Campagnon.

A certain gay Haverlock, Daniel, frowned at the idea he could still not marry his beloved. Surely this could change someday, if people were not so close-minded.

Eryane Teufel began to quake in her home in Hyspia, looking at her husband Jack. "Do you remember the stories of the empire, mon cheri? They are attempting to bring it back, should I be excited or absolutely terrified?"

"He has lost so much." Phoibe frowned for her friend Demitrey, who had been losing people left and right.

Phoibe, the Heiress to Halcourt, read the retelling, flabbergasted. "What in the world did I miss?" She asked herself, spending time with her young daughter for the last several months.

"May he rest in peace." Elaine sighed upon her hearing of her brother in law's passing. Pontiff or not, she would always remember him as Albert's little brother and went to comfort her husband at the loss of his younger sibling.

Maeve read the missive awkwardly, holding her newborn son in her arms. "Ah... shit. Well I guess I got some apologies to make." Marlena cheers at the victory for her kind, the bisexuals! Daniel Gale cheers, thinking of his boyfriend. Now he hoped he'd leave his wife.

C. 1964 Penned by ✾the barons of campagnon✾ With the noble designation bestowed upon us, the House of Halcourt had announced the arrangement of a Fête du Campagnois.

Each vessel will be provided with a ribbon, which all are encouraged to write their regrets. The ships will then be launched into the water, symbolizing a renewal of spirit. Signed, Her Ladyship, Phoibe Chloe Halcourt d'Artois du Clermont Miss, Daphne of Campagnon

Phoibe gasped when she'd heard the news, holding her month old daughter as she read. She remembered meeting Anika once with Konstantin. "Oh ****... that's awful." She frowned. "I hope the Denodados take all the time they need to grieve."

Elaine gasped when she read the missive. "I hope Arna- His Holiness is alright."

Maeve cringed at the missive she found in Petra, signing the Lorraine across her chest. "I don't know how yet..." She murmured. "But there's just something about this that's.... discomforting."

Need one male and one female child played for two different noble families! Will discuss details in dms, message me on discord @Aehmi You have cool parents on either character, honestly.

Union af Brasca y Galbraith Jan and Maeve as children, playing together Since they were children, Jan af Brasca and Maeve Galbraith had been a part of each other's lives when the young Maeve continuously, despite her family’s best efforts, went to Adria (Veletz at this time) to explore. There she met the young af Brasca and developed feelings that carried into their adulthood. Come celebrate the union of these two young lovers who have decided to be with each other after all of these years. Invitations are sent to the following: The Adrian Diaspora The Citizenry of Petra The Citizens of Balian The Citizens of Numendil The Citizens of Aaun The Citizens of Norland Special Invitations are sent to the following: The family af Brasca The Galbraith family Chris Weiss, he may bring his wife Abbess Rebecca and the Diocese of Casica Jurkha Queen Catherine I of Petra, and her esteemed pedigree Queen Sybil I of Balian, and her esteemed pedigree SIGNED, Maeve Mercedes Galbraith https://fontmeme.com/permalink/240209/a8222245a55a37c2cbe4dde941286ffc.png Jan Gaspard af Brasca https://fontmeme.com/permalink/240209/934f0a6f60924020497ed71a3f876f07.png

Elaine, Elena's sister in law frowned. "I pray that Robyn is doing alright." She didn't have much to say for Elena herself, who had never really gotten along with Elaine.

Life, for the most part, had changed for the better for the Heiress. Phoibe met Karyna when she was still a teenager and despite her own mother's continued absence in her life Karyna became a wonderful motherly figure to the girl. When she heard of Karyna's passing, the heiress sunk to her knees dejectedly and cried. She would forever mourn the loss of such a wonderful human being.

Maeve Galbraith read over the missive with disinterest. The teenager mused. "It is a shame she lost her unborn child, certainly. It is an even bigger shame she blames the church for her inability to keep it safe. If she was turned before her pregnancy, she has no one to blame for it but herself that she became with child while infected." Meanwhile Phoibe Halcourt read over the letter with a large frown on her face. "Poor Sandra! How could they do such an awful thing to her?"

The groom's little sister, Maeve, heard the news sometime after it was released and gasped. "Who would ever be crazy enough to marry Chris? Is she well?" Though all said in jest, Chris' little sister was happy for him.

Little Austina heard the news much later than most of her peers. "I should've protected her, she even let us go to her house."

A very poorly written candidate form. Do they know how to read? Username: Aehmi Persona Name: Autina Tesch Persona Age: Uh.... fivuh Place of Residence / Street Address: Petra!!!!

Marlena read the missive and laughed. "d'Arkent cares not for the Amadorian harlot. Just because your name was mentioned, doesn't mean it's about you." Meanwhile, Feodor was lounging around and came upon the missive with a frown. "What happened for all of THIS to occur?" The Stafyr seemed concerned, if nothing else about the way his mother's family was being treated.

Estrangment of Haus von Augusten Issued by the County of Salia, B.A. 93 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg18Kf4en2o&ab_channel=TaylorSwiftVEVO In light of the recent announcement regarding the engagement of Fredrich von Augusten to Theodosya Amador, the House d’Arkent hereby declares the formal withdrawal of its support for the von Augusten family. The House's disapproval of Theodosya Amador has been a longstanding sentiment, particularly following her dismissal of Peter Theodoric d’Arkent, the heir to our esteemed household. The House d’Arkent has historically expressed its aversion to Lady Amador, especially considering her previous involvement with Peter Theodoric, the dear first cousin of the heir to the Augusten Viscounty. This association ended abruptly, as Lady Amador chose another man, later revealed to be the nephew of the Countess-Consort. A prior letter was dispatched, cautioning about the distress faced by Peter Theodoric due to Lady Amador's actions of leading him on, with the hope that the family could offer solace to their cousin. Regrettably, no communication was extended regarding the purported relationship between Fredrich von Augusten and Theodosya Amador. Consequently, the reasons for the house's decision to distance itself from the von Augusten family are enumerated as follows: 1. Despite being aware of Lady Amador's previous betrayal and the resulting heartbreak of his cousin, Fredrich von Augusten knowingly engaged in romantic conduct with her, having publicly expressed his plans to bind himself to her in matrimony. 2. Despite receiving a letter detailing Theodosya Amador’s transgressions with the House d’Arkent, Fredrich von Augusten consciously extended an invitation to his wedding for the family of his cousin, Peter Theodoric, displaying a clear disregard for the feelings of his cousin and his aunt, the Countess-Consort. 3. Despite Marlena d’Arkent née Augusten’s historical support of Haus von Augusten, she has reached the consensus that further endorsement would only perpetuate the belief within the von Augusten family that they may continue to slight their close relations. Additionally, previous accusations of vampirism within the family further stain the reputation of Haus von Augusten and their associates, posing a significant liability to House d’Arkent regardless of the truth, – a liability that House d’Arkent shall bear no longer. SIGNED, The Right Honorable, Marlena d’Arkent, Countess-consort of Salia The Right Honorable, Gabriel d’Arkent, Count of Salia His Lordship, Peter Theodoric d’Arkent, Heir to the County of Salia, Lord Zelador of the Courta Cometa
