The dragon lord ponders on this..

Corn readies his blade, his newly given role 'whisperer' stamped on his imperial uniform (He is a spy). He prepares to soon take his role as right hand man of the dark lord.

Corn wept aggressively even though he probably didn't fully grasp the concept of death.

Corn very much supports this man

Issued and averred by the office of the LORD PRAETOR The Margraviate of Drusco seeks to claim the western plains across the river from the Principality of Ivoria, which has now been settled and constructed by the Margraviate of Avistra. By the words of Drusco, they claim the rights and titles to the land, and that those of Ivoria are entitled only to the river-side half away from their mainlands. O God, I am nothing before Thee. Why have I desired, why have I ever wanted, why have I searched in vain for all but Thee? O God, my God, I am but a drop in the ocean, a leaf on a tree, yet, knowing that even a drop and a leaf falling is known to Thee, reduce me in pride. Let me hate myself, and love Thee. Amen. •• ━━━━━ •• ✠ •• ━━━━━ •• SIEGE OF CASTLE AVIAN Be it known that tensions between the Margraviate of Drusco and the Margraviate of Avistra have entered a critical stage.

Reports confirm the gathering of troops, the construction of siege equipment, and the mobilization of supply lines in the borderlands.

Issued and averred by the office of the LORD PRAETOR LORD PRAETOR ☩ The Lord Praetor is the head of warfare within the Imperium. His task is to maintain stability within the imperium by settling disagreements and grudges internally and pursue the Emperor’s will through external wars. INTER-VASSAL WARS: All vassals partaking in inter-vassal warfare should be going to the Lord Praetor for any grievances or petitions on matters of warfare, to then be brought to the attention of the Emperor if it is deemed worth his time. ✷ Just Cause Conflict within the imperium is not allowed unless the cause is just, and this impartial basis is only for the Emperor to decide. This will take into account the balance of probability and whether a war, in earnest, requires battle. Usually, it is for the Emperor to attempt to stop any wars amongst his vassals, but if no other resolution has been identified besides war, then it may be allowed. Wars may occur for numerous reasons, from honour-bound conflict, ancestral history, family scorn, conflict abayed by soldiers, or conflict due to nobility disrespect. There are endless causes for war. ✷ War Goals A war goal is the primary aim of the war. Usually, this is something discussed by the Emperor himself, and in the end, it will be for the Emperor to allow. At the same time, it is the role of the Emperor to offer a better goal. At the conclusion of the war, it is for the Emperor to ensure that the winning-side has been met with the terms of agreement, and should the vassal not agree with the specified terms upon their loss, this is considered a direct act of treason against the Emperor himself and will be met by force and punishment by the Imperial Reiksguard. A war goal can be as simple as a written apology from the losing side, the execution of a perpetrator, and extremely rarely does this include ownership of land or titles. ✷ Imperial Permission War requires the Emperor’s seal and signature, and without it, vassals are unable to partake. The direct medium in order to partake in a war must be deemed acceptable by the Emperor himself. If the conflict is between the vassals of other crown vassals, it is for the crown vassal to attempt to mediate. If the crown vassal is unable to mediate the conflict between his own vassals, or with the vassals of another crown vassal, both crown vassals must speak directly to the Emperor who will then allow and send out an excerpt of war-commitments. The word of the Emperor is final on matters of war and this cannot be appealed. ✷ War Alliances The imperium will never allow or justify external alliances or mercenary support in vassal disputes unless this is specifically requested by both parties. In most cases, vassal wars should only be conducted by the (involved) vassals, which is up to the Emperor to decide. ✷ War Impost In the Holy Imperium, the role of the Emperor is to be the highest temporal authority, with landmass as wide and far as the whole continent, his duties are bound to numerous issues. The matter of war is a concern of vanity and is never a good ordeal, and so, it is for the warring party to offer (as a gift of courtesy) the Emperor a donation worth the war goal. It is for the vassal to offer and tread carefully, as the value of the Emperor’s time could be taken as an insult. The war impost will be discussed by the Lord Praetor and the Emperor, and set on a case to case basis. FOREIGN WARS: ✷ Just Cause Ultimately the task of the Lord Praetor is to enforce the will of the Emperor through the means of conflict. Sometimes such matters extend beyond the bowels of the Empire, which might result in an external war. It is the Emperor and the Emperor alone that has the power to declare a war, and no reason has to be given for him to pursue his goals through such means. If the Emperor seeks guidance on matters of warfare, this can also be constructed by the contemporary aid of those in the Imperium, or by setting up a temporary war-council. ✷ War Council During times of external warfare, it is the role of the Lord Praetor to mobilise all landed vassals of the imperium, and to set up a war-council on a temporary basis, usually consisting of members elected or raised by the Emperor that fit a certain criterion. The council will always consist of: ☩ Emperor of Mankind - @Tide1 ☩ King of Numendil - @Nooblivs By virtue of the Emperor and kings of the Imperium, the following are also elected to join the war-council at all times: ☩ Crown Prince of the Empire - @Werew0lf ☩ Crown Prince of Numendil - @RomanceRPer By extension of the crown, and for the purposes of a military tour, the following are also elected to join the war-council as mandatory: ☩ Lord Praetor - @vurmy ☩ Lord Marshal of the Imperial Guard - @irishmanmichael ☩ Lord Commander of the Radiant Guard - @Lazybacon At the conclusion of the campaign or foreign war, the war-council is disbanded and no longer serves any other purpose. On further basis, not all elected members are required for the war-council, this is included for many reasons: ♛ If the war does not warrant the mobilisation of all states. ♛ If the Emperor does not deem a war council necessary. ♛ If the war is warranted but requires no participation from either side, i.e. if the Emperor warrants a war with the Kingdom of Numendil wanting to be the sole participant without aid, a war council is not necessary, vice-versa with the Imperial States. The purposes of the war council is for the strategic planning of any and all matters relating to the brevity of foreign warfare, including movement of troops, siege-craftsmanship, war impost costs, and or on matters of foreign aid or alliances.

VICTORIA PRAETERITVM Lords of Westmark In the year 230 S.A., Kingdom of Burgundy ✠ DESCENDANTS OF THE ESTEEMED IMPERIAL HOUSE OF RENATUS AND ITS CADET HOUSE, THE LINE OF MARTIUS THE CORSAIR PRINCE, AND YURY THE BLACK-EYED. LET IT BE KNOWN TO ALL: BY BLOOD, BY STEEL, BURGUNDIAE INVICTA. ✠ In the wake of two bitter defeats, many would have expected the League of Veletz and its allies to falter, to retreat behind their walls and fortresses. But we did not break so easily. In defiance of adversity, the League of Veletz, the Principality of Stassion, and the Iron Horde rallied once more, binding their strength together with iron resolve. The Coalition, emboldened by their earlier victories, marched into the Westmark seeking to tighten their grip on our lands. They believed the Burgundian spirit was broken. They believed their triumph inevitable. They were wrong. Upon the rolling open fields of the Westmark, we met them. Though they outnumbered us almost three to one, it was not numbers that decided the day — it was will, and the unbreakable spirit of our burgundy-clad people. There, at the Battle of the Westmark, banners snapped in the wind, steel clashed, and the ground itself shook beneath the hooves of a thousand horses. Though this resounding victory didn’t secure the safety of our people — we have secured a legacy. The defense of the Westmark stands as testament to our valor, and by the blood spilled and the sacrifices made, we now lay rightful claim to the Title of Westmark. The Westmark was won not by happenstance or fortune, but by the iron will of those who refused to yield. It is ours by right of victory, by right of blood. The Westmark was painted burgundy by the blood of our enemies. It has been written in steel and sealed by sacrifice — and so it shall remain. ✠ B V R G V N D I A E I N V I C T A HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, Tiberias I of the House van Aert, King of Burgundy, Duke of Middelan, Baron of Pestilles, Protector of Grense, Patriarch-Dynast of the Pertinaxi, etcetera. HIS HIGHNESS, Coenraed I van Aert, Prince of Blackvale, Lord of Westmark.

Valentin reads the missive and falls asleep.

Duke Valentin, hopping from horse to horse pushes through the Coalition's forces with the Blackvale Cavalry. "They're cornered." He let out as the Covenants levymen somehow run straight into a wall.
