Ser Brandt Barclay claps his hands a bit with a wide smile about his face, preparing to enjoy some quality Haeseni tea like the veteran, middle aged knight he is.

Ser Brandt Barclay dips his head singularly upon seeing his brother's official abdication posted "End of yet another era" he sighed lightly "Let's hope its the last Duke of Reinmar I get to meet"

Ser Brandt Barclay smiles upon seeing his squire recieve his final trial, entering the forge then to begin working on Alric's knighthood weapon. Whilst working the man took a moment to sign the lorraine and pray to Saint Tylos for his squire's safe and victorious return.

"Finally" smiled Ser Brandt Barclay, giving the Royal Treasurer a thumbs up before getting back to working on opening the Haense Fur Trading Company

Ser Brandt Barclay dips his head, signing the lorraine to the nearly fallen monarch as he sighed "Saint Tylos deliver him to recovery." he prayed

"Ho ho ho, so many newspapers" Ser Brandt Barclay gave a cheeky smile as he clapped his hands a bit "How Karosgrad is booming!"

Ser Brandt Barclay would begin writing a letter to both Irena C. Ruthern ( @Eryane) and the renown scholar Otto "the Tarcharman" ( @yopplwasupxxx) "Your Excellency Irena vas Ruthern / Respected Otto "the Tarcharman", Upon read through the dictionary of New Marian, which you have had a hand at reviving to its modern use, I noticed there was not a word for 'steel', even though it is quite a common word used in everyday speech, especially in the context of our great kingdom. Additionally, seeing the situation under a blacksmith's point of view, I believe including such a word in the dictionary would prove to be helpful. As such, I would suggest the word of 'Staal' /ˈstɑl/ to be implemented. Following newer examples of implemented words - such as "Striet" for street - such a word would be easy to catch on and be used in this day and age, whilst retaining its Marian, or at least pseudomarian influence, with the double vowel "aa" also being seen used in Marian or other languages its derived from as well. I hope you approve of my suggestion. GOD be with you, Ser Brandt Barclay."

"Now that's a Barclay Bargain" smirks Ser Brandt Barclay, preparing for even more slaving and forging. He then starts looking around for teammates.

BUCK BUCK BUCK

Ser Brandt Barclay arches a brow, stopping his moneycounting to read the pact as he then smirks profoundly, preparing to set up some business arrangements.

Ser Brandt Barclay clapped and cheered for the talented snail slavers.... ough cough trainers; patting his snail Cedric Barclay on the head a few times.

Ser Brandt Barclay widens his eyes much as he can to make sense of the excessive handwriting, mumbling some comments to himself soon after.

rep out here doing allah's work 🙏

"Now that's a Barclay Bargain!" cheered Ser Brandt Barclay with a smirk, preparing for more slaving and forging.

Ser Brandt Barclay crossed the lorraine as he nodded, mumbling prayers to Saint Tylos as usual "Truly a good piece of history and an important lesson for the soul to remain humble, for GOD truly is the only most-powerful; having kings, emperors, pontiffs and ever aenguls under his divine control and wisdom. Godan bless!" exclaimed the Barclay as he gave a thumbs up to Cardinal Ailred.

Ser Brandt Barclay sighed havily as his head dipped low and shook "To think that fathering children and claiming to reform would change a man"

The mentioned disfigured Barclay crosses the Lorraine once more after the couple times he did during his humbled blessing, the man mumbling something about being grateful to GOD as he went on about his business. Now in a better mood, praises of Saint Tylos, Kristoff and Karl running through his head, as he himself would humbly pray for the Pontiff, confident in himself that he'd be in his holiness own prayer.

Ser Brandt Barclay looks towards his firstborn toddler @Frymark with an arched brow behind his now ever-present helmet concealing his face "Want to go kid?" he asked before following the lighthearted jest with a chuckle

Ser Brandt Barclay grins lightly behind his helmet and bandages as he awaits an icon of Saint Tylos!

"Surely does sound exciting" commented the disfigured and now helmeted smith that is Ser Brandt Barclay, the man arching a brow behind his helmet as he'd ponder for a moment, and release a sigh the other "Shame it's only fur dwarves" said the smither before shrugging and preparing his traveling equipment soon after "I'm guessing Ich should be allowed to watch" concluded the Barclay as he prepared for departure to Urguan on the day of the tournament, perhaps feeling obliged to attend as a spectator at all, after a moment of consideration, he took one of his finest works with him just in case.

All I read is "Welcome to lego city". Nice video tho 👍
