THE HELMING CEREMONY
of
JÁNOS MÁTYÁS IVANOVICH
Issued & confirmed by the,
HOUSE OF IVANOVICH
On the 22nd of Godfrey’s Triumph, 1955
TO THE PEOPLE OF STRAN,
In the echoes of time, our beloved lands once danced with life—a symphony of tolling church bells, roaring bonfires, and houses adorned in hues of vibrant tales. Yet, the melody faded, and Andregrad now stands in a somber hush, its once lively streets now ghostly quiet, its population near zero.
But behold, like a tide rising to the shore, a renewal beckons. János Mátyás Ivanovich, a harbinger of change, seeks to breathe life into the dormant Duchy of Stran.
To mark the dawn of the new era, a procession is to be held on the 22nd of Godfrey’s Triumph 1956, exactly one Saint’s Week from now. Its itinerary, an ode to the traditions that once crowned the Duchy in glory, is outlined below:
Commencing at the Whisperwood Tree, standing west of Castle Arpacz, where the whispers of countless Dukes echo through its branches. The Cardinal Gelimar shall orchestrate a sacred transition—a baptism amidst harmonious melodies.
János’ white robes fall and the armor of Jan I is donned—an emblem of continuity and legacy. A return to the Andregrad Duma Hall on horseback follows, within which János Mátyás is anointed with holy oil, a consecration of divine favor.
Within the walls of the Duma Hall, János shall take the Helming Oath and be presented with regalia, including the ancient Mace of Kraija—a relic of authority and the birthright to rule Stran.
Then, the Boyar’s Cap, one rumored to be worn by Exalted Sigismund, is a symbol of strength and the weight of responsibility, is to be placed upon János’ head, marking the conclusion of the Helming Ceremony.
Finally, court unfolds, where petitions are heard, gifts exchanged—a communion between Duke and subject.
Once more, the church bells, silent witnesses to the passage of time, shall toll. The dormant embers, seemingly long-snuffed, shall be rekindled. The painted wooden homes, once faded canvases, shall shimmer anew with fresh coats.
Let this procession be the anthem of a resurrected Stran, where the echoes of the past harmonize with the promises of a vibrant future under Duke Jan II.

The Culmination of my Tenure as Lord Mayor of Whitespire
As I draw near the close of my tenure as the Lord Mayor of Whitespire, I can't help but reflect on the events that have defined my term. Heartfelt appreciation goes out to my family, friends, dedicated appointees, and our dependable Ward Representatives. Your collective efforts have been the driving force behind the remarkable progress our Municipal Government has achieved over these past six years. It is clear that without the support of each and every one of you, none of this would have been remotely possible. A hearty thank you is in order.
The opportunity to address a matter of import arrives now, albeit belatedly. The Plane Theatre, a bastion of culture, remains dormant, necessitating my final intervention. Amelia Paulina @ydegirl, a steadfast proponent of poetic verse and captivating performances, has fostered a fervor for creative expression rarely paralleled in Whitespire. In view of her persistent ardor and unwavering contributions, it is only apt that I confer upon her the title of Directress of The Plane Theatre.
To the incoming Lord Mayor, I underscore the pressing need to nurture our institutions with unwavering devotion. As you ascend to this mantle of responsibility, comprehend that your duty stretches beyond mere governance; it extends to the preservation and fostering of cultural strongholds. Imbue your stewardship with a sense of duty, weaving the guardianship of these enclaves of enlightenment into the very fabric of your term. In this endeavor, heed the cadence of public sentiment, foster alliances with stalwart collaborators, and champion progressive paradigms that shall ensure Whitespire's enduring legacy as a monument to prosperity, cultural eminence, and boundless inclusivity.
With these parting words, my gratitude resurfaces. With my new role as Chancellor of Aaun, I wish to reaffirm my commitment to supporting our Municipal Government. Lasty, I extend an invitation to all, to join in the Procession Ceremony that follows the election of the new Lord Mayor.
Humbly Yours,
His Excellency, Fernand de Lewes
Chancellor of Aaun, Baron of Virdain

THE TERMS OF ALDERSBERG
Issued on the 13th of Sun’s Smile, 1932. . .
On the day of the 9th Sun's Smile in the year 1930, the titleholders of the March of Aldersberg, Cressida of Aldersberg, and the County of Aldersberg, Markus Sarkozic, opted to discard their grievances. They convened on neutral grounds to deliberate and finally put an end to their longstanding feud, overseen by the Baron of Brasca, Sir Baldwin.
Their intention was to announce the agreed-upon terms once peace was brokered among the Canonist Realms. However, before the occasion could come to pass, fate dealt a cruel hand. Tragically, Cressida of Aldersberg met an untimely demise due to the complications of childbirth. In her stead, George of Aldersberg ascended as Margrave, bound by the solemn oath taken by his late sister, and dutifully adhered to the agreed terms.
The parties agreed upon the following terms;
I. The Houses of Aldersberg and Sarkozic commit to ending all animosity and hostility between them. They pledge to foster closer relations, recognizing that their shared bloodline is paramount to them.II. Both titleholders mutually acknow/ledge each other's separate lineages and legacies. It is understood that they have different ambitions and have agreed to allow each other to maintain their respective positions without dispute.
III. The heirlooms of the Österland Tiara and the Kaedrini Tiara of Ves will be relocated to the House of Aldersberg. At the same time, the Tiara of Furnestock will be relocated to King James Alstion of Aaun.

BLOOD BEFORE THE ALTAR [PK]
in Duchy of Stran
Posted
[!] Within the quiet town of Andregrad, Stran, a Duke stood silently within the Church of Saint Theodosius, head bowed in prayer.
A bandit blocks the doors out of the Church while on horseback and quickly draws his daemondsteel longsword “Halt!”
“Yam unmoving, Zhenya.” Janos Matyas says with a roll of his eyes,
“Brother.” spoke a familiar curt voice, the voice becoming louder as the speaker walked up behind Janos.
Three more bandits entered the Church of St. Theodosius then. . .
“Eja, Agnieszka.” Janos remained unmoving, his attention fixed on the altar before him. "What have vy done now. . ."
“Y? Vy serve under Johannian's, serving alongside the Haenseti.” Agnieszka drew her blade, stepping closer to him “A shame it had to come to this, but you take after papej, none of you deserve the right to our Grandfathers' Heritage, not Papej, not Andrejz, and not you.”
Izabela Anna Ivanovich, the Duchess-Dowager and mother to Janos and Agnieszka, then entered, lofting a brow, her gaze set upon the gathering before her before focusing then on one of the bandits, “What's the occasion. . . ?”
“Y will niet have w right for long, Y believe w Tsar jest revoking w Ksizadom of Stran.” Janos admittedly said with a lowly shake of his head.
Agnieszka Marie scoffed, stepping closer to him once more “Vy are not even going to attempt to scream for help.” she smiled, walking around to face him.
“Yam niet fit to rule this sved Ksizadom, one Y did niet even want to rule.” He stepped forth placing a finger directly at the center of Agnieszka's chestplate. “Blame vyrself for having it come to this.”
“For bringing y to this jebany place.” He added.
“Perhaps use the blade you hold on yourself” He thought. . .
Agnieszka Marie moved forward, attempting to stab her brother in the torso “Very well then, problem solved” she smiled, pulling it out again afterwards.
Izabela Anna Ivanovich swiftly moved to push past the bandits, her concern of the situation only growing evermore as she moved to behold the situation herself.
A bandit moved to block Izabela's path, fervently pointing towards his blade.
“Vy suka blya-.” The Duke hadn't even been allowed to finish his sentence, as soon as the sword impaled him he fell to the ground before the altar, his gaze still fixed on Agnieszka, even after death.
The Duchess-Dowager stood unblinking, seeing the body of her son suddenly drop to the ground. Her expression nearly blank as she tried to comprehend what had just happened.
Agnieszka Marie looked down at her brother's corpse, she smiled, lifting up her boot as she moved to crushed his skull in, bringing her foot down with full force “Long live the Duke” she smiled, moving to walk out the church “Burn it down.” The New Duchess walked over to take a torch from the wall, dropping it onto the body.
A bandit kicked the corpse over, quick to inspect if the man had anything of worth to loot.
“Dorat, you heard the Duchess, we burn the place down!” Called another bandit to his friend.
And with that, the Duke of Stran met his swift demise at the hands of his own sister. His dreams to rekindle the Duchy had been taken far too literally, the wooden town of Andregrad burned, the billowing smoke produced could be seen from the Capital.
REST IN PEACE
