Azja Weiss had long left the land of the Karoslund, clawing at memories of the lands she once loved, her home in Hanseti-Ruska. She had been tending to the seat of House Weiss in the cold, white walls of Novkursain, now dulling from age, to ensure it did not fall to ruin. Somewhere in these lands did the youngest sister of Kazimir hear of his passing. Azja was not one to weep, nor show any real emotion of any kind, but this news cracked that cold heart of hers. She had abandoned her people, her family, chasing the shadow of a life that could never be given light once more, and in doing so she could not prevent the death of her eldest brother. This was unforgivable. The solitary lioness of House Weiss trudged back into the hall of their ancestral home, approaching the seat bestowed to the head of their family. No warmth filled this keep any longer, though, one could perhaps hear the echoes of memories, long lost, hiding in the shadows. The voice of Kazimir and Karl giving lessons to the younger members of the House, the laughs of children chiding one another, a mother’s quiet embrace, lovers’ soft murmurings. Azja stood in the silence of the hall, the statues of her ancestors watching her from the darkness, their faces only illuminated by the golden prayer candle she held in her hands. She carefully set it upon the seat once destined for the Head of House Weiss, then knelt down and uttered a quiet prayer for those the good people of Haense had lost, and for those that continue to fight against adversity. The candle was then left to burn in those cold walls, the light dwindling until it was no more. The ancestors would smile when Kazimir joined them, this Azja knew, the same could certainly not be said for those who took Kazimir from this world so early.

Hilda looked over the missive as it was passed to her by another worker of Tuvia, a simple huff of a laugh escaping her chest, “Another great member of Balian past leaves the fold, hm? If she has left, what will we come to?” She questioned as the worker moved on down the path, “Ich will have to pay her a visit, ensure retirement treats her well.” The knight thought, folding the missive and placing it on a nearby crate before hurling a bale of hay onto her shoulder and disappearing into the interior of her barn. In more distant lands, the proud nephew of the aging Vilac had been awaiting such a missive, reading over it with a bright smile, “Nicely done, aedymamej.” He rose from his desk, going to sit on the floor with his toddling children, “Look! Aedymamej Gwen officially retired, perhaps we can all visit her more frequently, hm?”

Hilda looked over the missive having fought along side the queen for her final battle and watched as she took her final breaths. She quietly made her way to Tuvia, her own armour still soaked in blood. She had to tell her princess all that had happened and escort her to see her mother, it was truly the least she could do.

Issued by the Viscounty of Krusev c. 532 E.S. It is with great sadness that House Kortrevich announces the death of Prince Dimitri Otto de Pelear, formally Dimitri Otto Kortrevich. Dimitri was a much-loved member of House Kortrevich who served the family with duty and honour for many years before joining House de Pelear to be their consort and lead the Sovereignty of Hyspia with dignity and loyalty. He will be missed by many friends and family members. May he be at rest in the Seven Skies. ⋅ ───────────────⊱༺⠀I⠀༻⊰─────────────── ⋅ Attached is the final will and testament of Dimitri Otto. THE HONOURABLE, ERIK OTTO KORTREIVCH Viscount of Krusev, Baron of Koravia, Lord of Fort Ileana, Lord Captain of ve Bykursain HER LADYSHIP, EMMA MARIYA AMADOR Royal Physician of Hanseti-Ruska HER ROYAL EXCELLENCY, DAME GWENYTH ‘THE UNYIELDING’ CALLISTA VILAC VUILLER, Constable of The Royal Balianese Duana, Marshal of the Regiment of Saint Lothar, Lady Sentinel of The Royal Sentinels, Garrison Commander of Fort Demetrio, Cavalier of The Order of Saint Michael

[!] A poster has been distributed throughout Portoregne Brains & Brawn The Senate Campaign Poster of Hilda Brawn About the Candidate Hilda Adrianna Brawn is an immigrant to the lands of Balian, purchasing a property in the city at the age of sixteen, moving from her familial home in Reinmar; she always had a deep interest in the kingdom, joining the ranks of the Regiment at only ten years of age, and has been a squire of Ser Tristan de Lyons since she was fifteen. Since that time, she has gained many achievements, recently completing all of her required squire trials, and being promoted to the rank of Man-At-Arms within the regiment because of her seniority. She has also represented the House of Novellen-Tuvia in peerage meetings, because of her mind for politics and trust instilled in her by HRH Ariadne Casimira. One may argue that Hilda Brawn may be too young for such a position, yet, she is of the same age group as many of the candidates looking to take the position and has been involved in kingdom life and politics from a very young age, even putting her life on the line time and time again to defend the kingdom against threats both big and small. Unlike many of the candidates, Hilda Brawn comes from a common family, having no familial links to any nobility in Balian or her home kingdom of Reinmar, meaning she can truly represent the common people of the kingdom, having shared the same struggles as the common man, and understanding what it is like to be of common blood within the city of Portoregne. How many of the other candidates can say the same? Manifesto What Hilda Promises: Bring forth the opinion of the citizens of Portoregne, no matter how insignificant they may seem. Hilda will run weekly meetings where the citizens of the city can present their questions and concerns that they believe should be addressed by the Duana, and therefore, the Monarch. Hilda will then discuss what should be brought up and take it before the Duana. No matter the opinion, you will be able to share it freely with no judgment. Bring up the question of events for the city. More should be done to bring the city back to life. The city has become somewhat of a ghost town of late. More should be done to fill the streets with life once more, as such, Hilda will push for more events to be hosted in the city on a weekly basis, with civilians also being encouraged to host events themselves. Do the people of Balian feel safe? Should more be done to protect the citizens? The current crime rate in the city of Portoregne is quite frankly worrying, with witch threats and darkspawn, and the looming threat of The Watchman and their goons, more should be done by the Regiment and Magisterium to make the citizens feel safe. Not only that, the royalty should also be more protected, with the threats of The Watchman being aimed at the royal descendants primarily. Hilda will push to change this fact. Are there too many noble Houses in Balian? Should more be promoted? Or are there too many? What are your opinions on the amount of noble families in the kingdom? Do you feel there are too many, and the streets are mostly filled with those of noble blood? Or do you believe your family should be nobility themselves? Hilda would like to know and perhaps make changes that reflect public opinion. How represented does the common man feel? Can Hilda Brawn make you feel more seen? Most of Hilda’s fellow candidates are of nobility, does this truly represent the commoners of Balian? Do we truly need more nobility in the government? By voting for Hilda, you can dilute the nobility in government, and add more varied opinions. Vote for Hilda Adrianna Brawn for Balian Senate! Signed, Hilda Adrianna Brawn, Squire of the Order of Saint Michael

Hilda Brawm looked over her court summon, tutting a little, “Damn, they got my name wrong… Something to correct at the trial, I suppose.” She then tucked the missive into her desk drawer and went to her balcony to have a cigarette.

When Dimitri heard of the death of Amaya he fell to his knees, the missive in hand, the cane used to support him clattering to the wooden floor of his office. After the great success of the Haense carnival he had carried her to her bed in the clinic, made her comfortable, kissed her on the forehead before departing as she had wished him to do. He owed his very life to her, the life he has built, the kids he has fathered are all because she came to save his life when others would have left him to die. Amaya had been there for him in every meaningful moment of his life, from the death of his mother, to his wedding. He so desperately wanted to show his children to her but never got the chance, and now never will… For once, Dimitri was at a loss for words as his tears began to fall onto the missive he stared at, deeply hoping the words were not true. This is a loss that will stay with him, but he knows she is at rest now, and that his mother will welcome her into the seven skies.

[!] A missive has been distributed throughout the Human realms A PERSPECTIVE Hyspia’s Independence Meeting from the View of Dimitri Otto [!] A Hyspian Sunset painted from views from a palace window 12th of Francisco’s Resolve, 91 D.R. I shall begin my writings by paying respect to the late Vicente Murietta II. He held unwavering loyalty to the Sovereign State of Hyspia, not just to one leader, and always showed bravery in the battles I had the honour to fight at his side in. He had a passion for the history of Hyspia and was very close with mine and Ramona’s children. His loss will be felt for many years. May he find peace in the Seven Skies. The Happenings of the Meeting The meeting begins with Cesar laying down the scroll on which the agreement has been written. Aleksandr has some problems with the alliance but knows a way for those concerns to be remedied. The knight flanking him rested his hand on the pommel of his blade then. Quickly followed by our own guards. He has concerns with the popularity of Cesar’s reign within Hyspia. That being given independence would lead to our opposition to swoop in and attack Hyspia to remove Cesar from leadership. Cesar doesn’t understand his popularity within the Covenant is being questioned, not just his popularity with the orcs. Aleksandr points this out very clearly, looking between Ramona and Cesar, implying he wants Ramona to take over Hyspia to ensure Hyspia stands tall. Aleksandr II: “I fear vy will niet uphold that popularity.” Cesar states that he wants independence to be the final thing he does as the Viceroy of Hyspia. Aleksandr points out that no kingdoms want to rally to save a nation headed by Cesar, “Hyspia as a sovereign state is difficult in the eyes of many to answer the rallying call for”, then suggests that Cesar abdicate, stating his promise of sovereignty will be fulfilled only after Cesar stands down. He also states that Cesar’s reputation for what he has done so far in his reign, likely during the war, will be enough to seal his name in history. This creates tension throughout the meeting room. Vicente Murietta wants to speak, Aleksandr shuts it down, stating “Vy would speak before vyr Viceroy?” Cesar states he still has much he wants to do before he abdicates the throne for Ramona. He wants this independence to be solidified before Ramona takes the throne. Aleksandr says his agreement to give Hyspia independence won’t go ahead until Cesar backs down so he will give him time to complete what he wants before another meeting is set to hand over independence. Vicente questions why the agreement should be delayed. He doesn’t understand why the abdication should be hurried along. Arman states independence should be the most important goal here. “Independence must be the most important goal, padre.” Aleksandr states that if abdication can’t be hurried, independence shouldn’t be either. Vicente quips back with “Then abdicate too.” - “You want new blood? Abdicate at the same time.” This is heavily disliked by the Haense party, “Who is this man?”, one of the Haense knights questions. Ramona breaks her silence to ask what plans are left for Cesar. Independence was his goal. “What plans are there left? - This was the plan, Independence for our people. Independence is to be seen as a serious nation of people. No longer to be overshadowed by our allies.” Aleksandr says that for independence in Hyspia to flourish, the kingdom needs new blood. Ramona. “I'm saying that in order for the flourishment of independence I grant - new blood is needed.” He then goes on to state that allies only need to help Hyspia because of Haense, “If something were to happen to Hyspia now, many would be indebted to aid due to the Haeseni relations. Once these ties are severed between our nations, those once indebted no longer will be.” Dear reader, this is entirely untrue. Hyspia holds its own defensive pacts with many other nations without the aid of Haense. Vicente looks between Ramona and Aleksandr accusing them of conspiring against Cesar. He then draws his blade stating he won’t let Hyspia be crushed by a Haenseni boot. “Conspirators.” - “I will not let the people of Hyspia be choked by a Haeseni boot!” The Haensers also draw their blades. Cesar tells all involved to stay calm, with Ramona explaining that she had no knowledge of Aleksandr’s plans. Vicente backs into a corner, pointing a sword at the knights that approach him yelling Hyspanic. “¡Lamebotas Haeseni! ¡Regalas nuestro país!” (Translation: “Haeseni Bootlicker! “You give away our country!”) “Good Godan.” is simply muttered by the King of Haense “Vicente, sheath your blade before you lose another arm.” States Jose Fuentes. “You selfish dog, don’t threaten me! All you care about is glory!” Spits Vicente. Ramona tells Jose to duel Vincente outside, Vicente then lunged forward to stab Jose in the chest. “Death to you Imperialist dogs!” The brown-haired knight states he wishes to duel Vicente to the death for threatening Aleksandr. “A man who draws a blade upon my king is a dead man already.” Jose replies to the attack with, “For that, I sentence you to death.” Cesar tries to calm the situation down, to no avail. “I died in the ramparts of breakwater.” Is the reply from Vicente. The brown-haired knight brings his hammer down onto the back of Vicente’s leg. The queen of Haense enters as Jose swings for Vicente’s throat. It makes contact, blood spilling from Vicente’s mouth, the Hyspian colonel falling limp to the ground, the sickening gargling of blood filling the chamber. Jose then twists his blade into the poor man’s neck, possibly ensuring the man was killed by the blow. A truly unnecessary death… I should note the honourable Patriarch Josef did plead for Vicente to simply be disarmed. This was blatantly ignored. “You Let your man draw his blade on the king.” The red-haired knight addresses Cesar now. “Nie- nie!” Cries Aleksandr, still trying to defuse the situation, with the queen then asking why blades were drawn at the meeting in the first instance. She receives no reply. Questions are fired across the room to ensure everyone is alright after that ordeal. Cesar replies that he’s alright, stating the overreaction cost Vicente his life. Jose cleans his sword on the dead colonel’s body, sheathing his sword with a quick apology and returning to guarding Ramona. Cesar states he wishes to finish reforming the knight order and was going to abdicate two saints weeks after the signing of the independence treaty. Ramona quickly replied that independence is what Cesar wanted, what Hyspia fought for. “Do you not care for Hyspia?” The queen joins Aleksandr at his side. Aleksandr leaves the decision between Ramona and Cesar, suggesting that Ramona could give Cesar a high position of power once she’s the leader of Hyspia, stating himself Cesar is good and smart but not popular. He states it isn’t his place to convince Hyspia one way or the other and has offered to leave the room for Hyspia to discuss. Ramona says she wants her father to rest but will allow him to be on her council, but there is now a death in relation to this issue. Cesar says he wants to talk with just his family. Ramona doesn’t understand what is left to discuss. Cesar states he was going to abdicate soon anyway so we should have talked with him if we wanted him to step down sooner. He believes that everyone here took a revolutionary approach. I find myself agreeing with this statement. Discussions could have, and should have, remained peaceful. Arman points out Cesar dedicated his whole life to getting independence and if he was so willing to step down, why hasn’t he already? “If this is their non-negotiable, and you were already going to (abdicate), why not?” Ramona echoes this, asking if Cesar thinks that Ramona isn’t capable which Arman states that is disrespectful to Ramona and that he’s denying the nation a great opportunity and the dignity to be independent. Cesar states that he has been disrespected by not being left to do his final preparations and that he will sign the agreement, abdicate and leave Hyspia. Ramona says she has always trusted her father and gave him complacency but there has been no change in Hyspia since the war came to an end and our people have fled in fear we cannot protect them. She states that Cesar always has a place in Hyspia but this is how change will be made “This is where it starts. Hyspia will live past us. I will ensure it.” Cesar believes it is best to leave Hyspia entirely, and agrees that new blood is needed for Hyspia, hence why he was taking a step back. This contradicts his previous points that he was working very hard to get his projects in Hyspia done before he left. He also doesn’t like how this agreement was forced upon him but he is too tired to argue against it, so he will leave to experience the world again. The Haenseni party is allowed to re-enter the chamber and quickly does so. Ramona states she has felt none of the so-called “stepping back”, but sees no reason to continue arguing, and is glad it reached a peaceful agreement. Cesar simply states, “Let’s sign it then.” The king re-enters with a “Hola.” The clause of abdication is added to the independence agreement and Aleksandr says the agreement will be signed and published the following day. Cesar believes that it should be published this same day. The document is finally signed by Cesar, Aleksandr and Ramona. I shall note a final quote from the previous Viceroy, “For the future of Hyspia.” To end, I will state that I held, and continue to hold, a great respect for Cesar. He welcomed me into the family De Pelear with open arms and served the realm with grace, bravery, and most importantly, loyalty. He may have made mistakes or became disliked, but all leaders face the same treatment, no matter their achievements. Myself and Ramona will take upon the mantle, and shall lead Hyspia into an even brighter future, to match the sun that graces our lands. FOR THE FUTURE OF HYSPIA Signed, HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS, Dimitri Otto of Koravia, Soberano-Consort of Hyspia, Duke-Consort of Pacazu, Baron-Consort of Arenisca and Del’mar, Lord of Ladorada, Lord of Niseep, Gereon's Hold, and Ciudad de Plata, Gran Maestre of El Orden de Francisco, Protector of the Hyspian People, Protector of the Farfolk, Gran Chamberlan of La Corte de Girasol

The Hyspian consort looked over the missive, “A duchess? So close te catchin’ me up! But I thought she was already in charge of House Vuiller?” He looked to his wife, holding the missive for her to read. @_mady07

Dimitri looked over the missive, having heard of the pilgrimage coming to Hyspia but he was too injured from a siege to go to greet them, “Ea’ve never seen why the church disliked same sex couples te begin with. Let people be people…” He muttered to himself before folding the missive and placing it in a pile with already read missives. He then took a mouthful of whiskey and leaned back in his chair, staring out over Hyspia from his office, thinking about how happy people would be if love could just be accepted. A young recruit of the Balian Armada read over the missive when it was given, “I was there for that! I made a difference!” She then ran off to show her best friend Pebble. Her horse.

The Hyspian Consort looked over the missive, eyes tired from grief and restless nights filled with the echoes of war. “We shall bring those who snuffed out her light te justice. Under the eyes of Godan, under the eyes of DIOS. May the ground beneath our boots tremble, and our eyes niet rest until they are found.” He rose from his desk, pinning the missive to the wall opposite so he may see it every moment he works.

Dimitri looked out over the river he had planned to take Marjorie out on, tears rolling down his cheeks, he had almost forgotten the pain of losing a family member, yet now it had reared its head once more, taking with it the life of someone far too young, “Ea’m szam we never got those fish fer vy, Marjorie…” He wiped his tears, placing a wreath of blue, grey, white and yellow flowers onto the water. The colours of House Vuiller. He then returned to the palace, seeking comfort in the arms of his wife, the wreath slowly drifting down river, fish stirring the water beneath it.

Hyspian Bullfight As presented by Lord Dimitri Kortrevich La Corte de Girasol 5th of Javier's Justice, 77 D.R. [!] Painting of a Hyspian Bullfight [!] Painting of a Kortrevich Bull What the Event Entails All are invited to participate in a bullfight like no other!

Dimitri looked over the invitation, his eyes brimming with tears of pure joy and pride, “Godan, where has the time gone?” He then wiped his eyes and got up to find his best outfit for the wedding.

The young Kortrevich Lord had always wanted to participate in a joust since watching his first one, and now, with his own horse, he didn’t hesitate to sign up.

Dimitri stood silently alongside his siblings as he came to look upon his mother, his jaw clenched tight and hands clasped behind his back, as he had seen many a noble man do before. He looked to his youngest brother, eyes void of emotion, not truly knowing how to process such a loss. The boy left, soon returning with an old, worn polar bear plush; worn in such a way only many years of love could achieve. He moved over to his mother, placing the bear down beside her. "Pat will take care of vy while vy rest, mamej. He has always been good at that." Dimitri then placed a kiss upon the forehead of his mother, and quietly left the room, retreating to his own to process his emotions on his own.

A DUEL BETWEEN BROTHERS [!] Attached to this letter is the letter in which the challenge was presented. A being such as yourself is already cursed to eternal damnation, but if you want to duel me, so be it. I accept such a challenge. It is just a shame you must hide behind a champion. Let it be known I do not do this just for the people of Haense, but for my daughter you have threatened to harm first and foremost. You have set no terms, so I shall set mine. We meet upon the bridge to Haense, between the two gates that guard the city. You bring only yourself and your champion, or the duel shall not take place. If I win, you shall stay to your word and never step foot in the good city of Valdev again, or hurt any of my family. If I lose, I shall leave instruction to my wife about what is to be done going forth, and you shall leave my body, dead or alive, upon the bridge. I will not allow for my being to be damned as yours has been. Firr Rolim Tordove
