Sir Markus Kruber grabs the document, pointing towards it and screaming at Baldr. "AVE IMPERIUM!"

rigor post 🔥‼️

"We are the Emperor's angels of death, not his angels of mercy," bids Sir Markus Kruber to the adherents in the Imperial Order of the Red Dragon, prepared to find the culprits of Cardinal Alaric's death and put down any insurrectionist and schismatic movement, now outlawed within the extended domains of the Holy Imperium.

Sir Markus Kruber smiles, believing that Crown Prince Hadrian might have taken inspiration on his own name. "Heh."

‧₊˚♪𝄞࿐₊˚⊹ Issued and averred by the office of the IMPERIAL CROWN ✠ I: MILITARY OCCUPATION By virtue of the Emperor, let it be known to all: the Kingdom of Norland is no more–we have occupied the newly established Province of Norland, which shall now stand as a northern bastion of the imperial states. With the death of the most honourable warrior-king, a promise was brokered when a blade strung at his throat – clemency, and the protection of the Norlandic. Despite the execution of the High King of Norland, Haakon Edvardsson Ruric, styled Haakon Konansson, he left behind a male progenitor to take claim of his throne: Haraldr Sigmar Haakonson. The military occupation of the Imperial Province of Norland is considered a temporary affair until the heir is of age, in which he will be allowed to reclaim the throne. It is the role of this imperial tenure to ensure the Norlandic do not stray from their path again, and that the inheritor King is as virtuous as our glorious Emperor. During the military occupation, imperial authority will prevail–a chosen few knights and imperial guardsmen will be sent to ensure the Emperor’s peace is maintained. Furthermore, the Imperial Office of the Archchancellory will be sending an Imperial Governor to rule in the stead of the King until he is of age. The role of the Imperial Governor is further described below. After the military occupation, once Haraldr Sigmar Haakonsson comes of age, he will be known only as King of Norland. He will not claim the title of High King, and Haakon will be the last of this title. Those who attempt to aid, abet, or partake in any sort of restorationist movement, rebellion, or anti-imperial propaganda will be dealt with an iron fist. Any and all Norlandic who defy the Emperor’s peace or attempt to harm the Imperial Governor, or any guardsmen, will be dealt with accordingly. “And in times of war, young Hadrian, you must show your strength. You cannot falter,” High King, Haakon Edvardsson Ruric. ✠ II: IMPERIAL LAW Whilst occupied by the Empire of Man, the Lex Tiberi will take full effect and will be enforced, barring matters of faith. All guardsmen selected by the Imperial Governor, alongside the Lord Marshal of the Imperial Guard, will be expected to abide by this legislation and ensure it is properly followed whilst occupied. The Norlandic Code of Law is null. Once again, at the conclusion of the military occupation, before departure, the Imperial Governor will aid in writing a new legislature for the anointed King of Norland to make sure humanity never strays from unity again. Nonetheless, the Imperial Governor has been granted the rights to amend the usage of the Lex Tiberi within the Province of Norland to the benefit of the locality and the Empire, such as the punishment-tier and discretion on certain laws. This exception has been allowed to ensure a smooth transition into the imperial system and legislature during this military occupation. “The law is precise,” His Imperial Highness, Hadrian Tiberias of the House Horen. ✠ III: MODERATED FAITH The Imperial Province of Norland is now temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Empire of Man until such time that the infant-king is of age to claim his throne. Whilst subject to the Emperor, the Red Faith shall be moderated by the guardsmen in places of worship within the Province of Norland. Any and all Raevir who fled humanity to live amongst the Norlandic, now adopting the name of Karoslund, are expected to remain virtuous and faithful to the Lord GOD and the True Faith. A priest will be sent alongside the Imperial Governor to continue spreading the True Faith in the Province of Norland, and to aid in any conversions of godless-men and women, though this will not be forced. “Quae fides praevalet? The faith of all men,” His Imperial Majesty, Tiberias I, Emperor of Man. ✠ IV: THE IMPERIAL GOVERNOR - Markus Kruber Markus Kruber will be appointed as the Imperial Governor and will be in charge of any and all directives within the Province of Norland. This writ grants him the right to command the imperial guardsmen and imperial knights who occupy the Province, to maintain the main legislative body of Norland, and to also aid in the leading of the government. The Red Council is hereby officially dissolved, and any councillors are removed from their post. The Imperial Governor will be in charge of the recreation of the government body, to fit the empirical views of the Emperor, to ensure that there is stability in the Province of Norland, and to grant the infant-king advice and guidance for when he comes of age. ✷ Invested Powers ✢ To govern the Imperial Province of Norland. ✢ To command any and all guardsmen and knights sent to occupy the Province. ✢ To be the personal advisor to the infant-king Haraldr Sigmar Haakonsson. ✢ To enact the Lex Tiberi within the Province of Norland. ✢ To ensure a smooth transition hand over to the infant-king once he is of age. ✢ To maintain the Emperor’s peace. If you are not provided a writ of permission from the Emperor of Man or the Imperial Governor to partake in the military occupation of Norland, you will be sent home, and failure to comply shall be regarded as treason. A writ of permission will only be provided to: the imperial guardsmen who assist in the military occupation, the imperial dragon knights who assist in military occupation, and any priests partaking in humanitarian aid and spreading of the faith. Current: His Excellency, Sir Markus Kruber “the Emperor’s Justice”, Knight of the Imperial Order of the Red Dragon, Imperial Governor of Norland ✠ V: ON FINAL WISHES Although considered pagan and of a godless tribe, the High King was considered a strong warrior who garnered respect from those within the Empire due to his military might. In order to respect his last wishes, as decreed by His Imperial Highness, Hadrian Tiberias, Crown Prince of the Empire & Burgundy, it is known that the following are under the protection of the Empire: ✢ Dima Milena Kortrevich ✢ Ilse Nataliya Haakonsdottir ✢ Anwyn Mirana Haakonsdottir ✢ Sólgifu Anya Haakonsdottir ✢ Haraldr Sigmar Haakonsson Let it be known. ✠ V: CALL TO PRIESTS By decree of this writ, any priests who wish to aid in spreading the True Faith within the Imperial Province of Norland are asked to step forward and send a letter to the Imperial Governor. The priest must be open-minded and willing to cooperate with a diverse culture, and must be willing to ensure that the Emperor’s peace is not breached. “Ad pacem et felicitatem,” His Imperial Majesty, Tiberias I, Emperor of Man. AVE IMPERIUM! H V M A N I T A S I N V I C T A “Für Gott und Kaiser,” HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, Tiberias I of the House Horen, by the Grace of GOD, Emperor of Man, Holy Imperator, King of Burgundy, Seventis, Salvus, Renatus & Oren, Duke of Middelan, Helena, Lorraine, Sunholdt and Reutov, Protector of Grense, Protector of the Heartlanders, Patriarch of House Horen & the Tiberian Dynasty, Captain-General of the Church, Defender of the Faith.

Thanks in advance, appreciate the effort in making roleplaying more accessible and clean.

A nameless Sun stirred, a King contemplated the shared nature of a vision, the North prepared for which that encroached and loomed over it. Questions plagued the sovereign and elders who were privy to the foretold, the chains that bound them all whirled, links caressing one another in anticipation.

Haakon lamented the news of the passing of his uncle Calias. It was a sad day.

You and your ilk have broken the laws and customs of the All-Father Most High, in your urgency to grasp power which was not yours to take, in your heretical march from the capital to whatever far encampment you call your home, you have neglected that which is most pertinent, who was truly chosen to lead the Norlander. Seething in the wasteland, you have issued slights that shall not be ignored. It has become clear through your words and actions that you would forsake everything for the chance to wear a crown upon your head. So you, VÁLI the Béosson, and your subjects will suffer unending immolation in the Allfather's fire. You shall be delivered from your mortal coils so that you might understand that there are not two Kings of the North, but one, whose name is Haakon. TO THE “CITY STATE OF VANSK” AND THOSE WHO DWELL WITHIN: Look to the East and behold the Cleansing Flame, which climbs to the sky with pillars of smoke and leaves embers and brimstone in its wake. Look to the East and make your choice, O’ accursed flock. Your flesh shall be rent from your bones in the cleansing flame of the Allfather’s chosen, and from your lips shall echo the words: ‘Woe unto us who have lied, woe unto us who have cheated away and stolen from our master.’ The twisting, winding flame that will engulf you and your kin will be visible from all corners of Aevos and etched in permanence upon the land, the site of your defiance of the Divine Ordination. This will come to pass, unless you renounce VÁLI, who has led you astray, return to the fold, and swear fealty once more to the King of the North, or should your tongues not confess: the coming year shall see your oblivion… AND SO IT SHALL BE, BY THE WILL OF THE FATHER, Jarl of Vjardengrad & the Lowmarch, Blood of the Herald & Lord of the Ashwood Throne, Protector of the Highlanders, High Chieftain of the House of Ruric & King of Norland, Haakon av Edvardsson Ruric Master of the Order of the First Flame, High Keeper of the Red Faith & the Flame Imperishable, Ellenore av Eiriksdóttir Lord Purifier of the Order of the First Flame, Hand of the King, Ægir Edvardsson Ruric Scribed by, Brother Huscarl of The Round Table, Erakles THE ARMY APPROACHING VANSK Targeted Tile: tile_snow_highlands_6 Proposed warpath: [Reference] https://www.artstation.com/artwork/qQWg9R [Art by @Sean_VEVO]
