Life of Lies

A depiction of Sergei and Elizabeth Othaman in their younger years 

A blissful man

Found a somber woman

And picked her

for his own

They traveled

And danced

And soon enough

Somber she was

No more

On one knee

He opened a ring

Five words he whispered

In the dead of night

“Elizabeth, will you marry me?”

Seven words

She spoke returned

A joyous grin

Upon moonlit lips

“Yes, for all I love is you.”

Faithful was that blissful woman

Fickle was that crumbling man

She spoke one winter day

A friend or so she had thought

A mistress

One of many to the man

She wept

And wailed

 and finally declared

All she’d loved

She’d loved alone

A lie of life

A life of lies

The Countess of Halstaig reads over the invite with glee! Rushing out to purchace some find silks and furs to begin her autumn attire! 

very good roleplayer, would be a good addition to the team +1 

The news of the newly deceased found its way across the land to one Lady Dowager, Elizabeth Othaman. She listened closely as she'd been told of what'd happened that late night, lips curling to a smile, releasing a cold laughter at her sons death - she'd never been fond of Kelhus or any of her children for that matter. 

Meanwhile a young Lorina Othaman found herself skipping through the eastern forest toward her home manor, Valles. She'd not spent much time with any of her Uncles but was in a childish dire need of help from someone after not able to find her mother of father. Meandering up the halls to the rooms and pulling one door open. "Uncle- oh.." She purred to emptied chamber. "Vhere ist everybody nowadays.."

Athri, one way or another gets her own raffle ticket- then proceeds to return home and drag her daughter out to do the same. "C'mon Yevi, maybe you can get something nice." @Itz_Cookie

"'M comin 'm comin!" The young elfess, Yevi, hissed as she was dragged along presumably by some piece of her clothing. Ripping herself free and snaching a raffle ticket of her own. 

The Duchess' newly appointed Mistress of the Robes donned a bright smile as her tailoring abilities had been put into light. "I will have to step up my game now that I am going to be making her wardrobe." The Countess of Halstaig commented toward her oldest friend and grounds tenant with a chuckle. 

"A lovely couple" The Countess of Halstaig chirped, a few sewing pins bobbing betwixt her lips as she finished up the Princess's wedding gown!

Somewhere a lonesome nun, a woman of faith, prays a silent prayer for the Cardinal - ending with a sign of the Lorraine.

Annual Augustine Paint Night

____________________________________________________

Though not many people were able to make attendance to the first Annual Augustine Annual Paint Night there were still quite a few talented artists in attendance that had quite a lot of expressive fun! Those being 
Miss Eugénie Cécile Ashford de Savoie
Lady Safiya Oma Basrid
Lord Calahan Antonius O’Rourke
Lady Theodosia Illaena O’Rourke 
Lady Anna Asul’onn-d’Arkent
The artists who so graciously agreed to allow myself to display their pieces include the following;

“Walter the Chatter-Chat” by Eugénie Cécile Ashford de Savoie @sunflowerist
The lovely Miss Savoie mixed each paint carefully to create the right shades. Beginning with her background and then adding in the precious stained white cat she knows and loves as Mister Walter!

“An Autumn Day” by Theodosia Illaena O’Rourke @RaindropsKeepFalling
Lady O’Rourke dipped her brush into her newly purchased paints, gliding them across the canvas carefully. Her brows furrowed as she worked intently to create the simple but beautiful painting for display!

“A Dream”  by Anna Marie d’Arkent née Asul’onn @Maevlin
Lady Arkent’s hands were stained with the charcoal color after her pieces were complete. Though she hit the canvas with clear intent on where the color would go, creating a family piece of a mother, father and children within a humble abode! 

And! As this event will be annual I am happy to announce the next one will occur in two saints weeks from the last!

ON THE DISAPPEARANCE OF WOODES O’ROURKE

By the Office of TRH Countess Halstaig

ISSUED 1831, 12TH OF HOREN’S CALLING

Woodes, circa 1827

It is with heavy hearts that the O’Rourkes hereby and henceforth declare Woodes O’Rourke as a missing person. This is derived from his disappearance as of over one year ago, now. His vanishing has come as a severe surprise to the whole family, especially succeeding Countess Anastasia O’Rourkes death, and we mourn. 

Unless otherwise proven he will not be assessed as dead, as the man may rightfully be in hiding amid the d’Azor scandal and his own connection. Yet odd, still, as his very father, TRH Patrick O’Rourke is the Archchancellor’s right hand in the National party.

His primary outlet of business: his “pint,” has decidedly been left to Cillian O’Rourke for the time being, as a caretaker.

An internal search and investigation is pending until more information is acquired on the time before his disappearance. He was last seen in Providence.

If you, or anyone you may be acquainted with has an idea of his whereabouts, or reason for this sudden evanescence, please do not hesitate to reach out and direct letters to Halstaig; we implore you. 

The Halstaig Festival of Life

─────────────────────── ∘°❉°∘ ───────────────────────

To the families of Rourke, Falcone-Orlov, Rosius, Asul'onn & Astrea;

Death my come when we least expect it, causing tremendous amounts of pain and sorrow but we are there for eachother in the toughest times. 

We are inving you all to join us at the County of Halstaig for this joyous moment to reflect the lives of Anastasia O'Rourke and Revas Asul'onn. We shall not dwell in the recent events of their passings but reflect on who they were, the smiles they created on each of our faces and remembering all the good times we shared with them.

Thus this will also be the first big announcement of Lady Iduna Anne O'Rourke legally gaining the title of Countess Halstaig.

Food and drinks will be provided yet we ask that everyone dons vibrant colors rather then the dull blacks and grays you would during times of lament, even florals if you see it fit!

The event will be hoasted outside in the gardens of Halstaig - giving everyone a change to meet the members of their extended family on all sides.

IN NOMINE DEI,

TRH, Iduna Anne O'Rourke

Countess of Halstaig

Lord Elias Leon O'Rourke née Asul'onn

Count-Consort of Halstaig

Her Ladyship, Amicia Eloise de Astrea of Elysium

 His Lordship, Christopher Erwin de Astrea née Asul’onn of Elysium

What made you want to join LoTC and what made you decide to stay? 

Iduna Anne sat within her chambers as a copy of the letter found its way into her grasp. Letting out a shaky sigh as she'd already fell into her own state of lament at the many deaths and disapearances multiplying as the days went by. "The reaper seems to never rest.." The Adunian hissed with furrowed brows.

Iduna Anne hadn't a chance to get to know the man her cousin had decided to marry but she walked the halls of Halstaig with dispare, extenguishing every candle she came across. The tenants were quiet along with the rest of the house - an eerie silence falling over everyone within. Later that day the young woman called in her dearest friends and workers to help be fitted for a mourning dress so she'd be ready if the black garbs were requested to be donned. 

Somewhere, a woman wandering the lands recived the news of her neice. She shared a shred of greif for the family she knew little about..

"Oh.. poor dear." A woman sighed, frowning as she'd been informed of her friends banishment. 

Were you ever overwhelmed with everything upon first joining?

"It vas only a matter 'f time before s'e left Haense" Elias spoke out while making his way back to Iduna's side, finding a seat along the edge of the bed, "Ich 'ave alvays been proud 'f my Mar'haelun, glad s'e ist finally leavin' t'e place t'at left many 'f us vith a foul taste."

Iduna Anne had fallen victim to many sleepless nights, she’d simply lift her figure to peer over at the letter with a soft sigh. She fell back and disengaged herself from reality once more though deep down she felt sorrow for how her husbands family had been treated.

“For nearly seven years you debauched children hiss back and forth.” One Elizabeth Othaman grumbled from her home as the news was delivered. “For nothing but greed and silly title.” Tossing whatever letters she’d received over the years into amber flames at her side. 

Meanwhile Iduna Anne scanned each letter that’d pilled on her desk over the saints day with a soft sigh. “To be pulled in to judge arguments like this in the future has me on the edge of my seat.” She whispered at the topic of the Court of Lords.
