Really good writing, mister Werewolf. Keep it up.

"Without aunt Calliope I wouldn't be the person I am now. She taught me how to pray and frequently brought me to the Chapel at Corwinsburg, prior to my departure for Salvus. Shame she is no longer with us, she could teach a few what it means to be a good Canonist..." Heinrich II Lothar said to himself after reading the document issued by Manfred

I love Waldenians. AUS EINIGKEIT KRAFT

"We have never spoken in private. If I am not mistaken we only shook hands once in Petra during the signing of Heartlander Accord. However, I believe he was a good man and God will allow him to enter his garden. I will convey my condolences to Duke Valentin and Gaspard personally if I get the chance." Heinrich II Lothar said to his council as the sad news from the Midlands reached Merryweather

"She must be found and killed quickly if that turns out to be true. Too many nobles are turning into these beasts." Heinrich II Lothar commented once he read the missive

"Ruhe in Frieden, Graf Haverlock." Heinrich II Lothar said as the news of Louis' death reached him

"We won..." Heinrich II Lothar said as he wiped the blood off his face - as he looked around all he saw was flames and the village burning slowly. Some people fled to safety of Ulrichsberg, some died in the flames. Once the Prince realised his losses, he added: "...but at what price."

"Find Johannes, at once." The Prince of Merryweather ordered his guard as he read the document while sitting in his office and smoking a fresh Salvian Cigar @Balthasar

CLEANSING OF DARKSPAWN Penned by the Prince of Merryweather, Heinrich II Lothar in the year of our Lord, 1942 After months of searching for Ottomar von Augusten, unexpectedly the wanted man himself turned up in Ulrichsberg. Armed, yet calm. The young man resigned himself to his fate and, refusing to flee further, surrendered himself into our hands. Charges were brought against the boy. His thoughts were consumed by darkness and sadness. The boy revealed to us that he was a parasite - a vampire. There was no other choice. Crimes of Ottomar Lothar von Augusten: I. Breaking the Vander Code II. Being a darkspawn III. Assaulting a church official IV. Escaping the Aaunic Prison V. Attacking a citizen of Aaun with firebombs Ottomar von Augusten was stripped of his title of a Waldenian and executed at Merryweather by decapitation and a stake through his heart on the ninth of Harren’s Folly in the year of our Lord 1942. GOTT MIT UNS, HIS HIGHNESS, Heinrich II von Alstreim, Prince of Merryweather and the Rhine, Landgrave of Alstreim, Baron of Corwinsburg, Lord of Blackwater, Lord Vandalore
