Chalons
A delectation by Roberta Leopoldine de Chalons
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
“ROBERTA” by Philippe de Amgmoncu, Louisville (1842)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
While the rain crashed upon the soils of Savoy. Upon the year of 51 on the 14th of The First Seed.
Roberta Leopoldine de Ravensburg shall be declared as Roberta Leopoldine de Chalons.
She is no longer of the House of Ravensburg. But now reborn as a beautiful rose, within the summer season.
Long may the Matriarch of the Hosue of Chalons live.
As well as my rebirth as not a Sedanian, but as a Savoyard.

"God bless my new sister in-law... she will need it with him... thankfully I will come. Not for him, for her... she will need it. After such, I will never see him again"
Roberta de Ravensburg would comment towards herself with a sorrowful tone, the woman fully moving into her new home within Savoy. The woman in distress, but kept herself up through these trying times.

"The ways of these people are so foreign, so strange, so unique... but ultimately flawed and will be their downfall."
Saevil would comment towards himself with an "interested" tone, seeming not so impressed by the 'aheral's actions, primarily the actions of the withering Silver State.

"These children were not baptized by their parents after birth! What heretics!" A young Sedanian woman comment with shock, while letting out a gaping gasp, at least these poor children were finally getting a baptism, the de Ravensburg thought while in a Tavern within the blessed city of San Luciano.

“God bless Savoy! An heir is born!”
Roberta de Ravensburg would comment while she prepared a gift for the Princess Royal of Sutica and her son, the Lord of Brynnrose. While she prepared the gifts, she’d also write a letter of congratulations to the new mother.

"Oh he passed away . . . awww . . . mmmmm . . . - Alright." A young maiden of San Luciano would comment while having a calm tone, talking, with fellow ladies of the serene Savoyard Court. Seemingly undisturbed by the death of the young heir. The ladies would be in the palace courtyard, sharing cupcakes and small sandwiches, with bright sun shining on them and the cool wind would breezing through.

Savoyard Traditions for Birth
A study of Savoyard traditions recorded by Roberta Leopoldine de Ravensburg
“The mother of Mankind” by Philippe de Amgmoncu, Louisville (1842)
For centuries and above, children have always been an important and protected group of the world, from the offspring of the Exalted Horen and St. Julia to the offspring of the common man and woman today. The event of one being born is widely celebrated, from the elvish people to the orcish brutes to humankind. Recently I had done a study of the traditions which the Savoyards do when a child is born within the community.
Baptism
Like any canonist state with followers of the canonist faith. After days of being born, the child will have a baptism. Being able to be viewed up by the light of god and viewed by the friends and family of the parents whose child is being baptized. In Savoyard culture, Baptism is highly celebrated for the implications of the child undertaking the first sacrament which introduces them into the righteous flock of GOD.
After Baptism Celebrations
After the baptism, the traditions of Savoyards express that the friends and relatives of the parents will travel to the house of the parents. Where these friends and relatives of the parents will be able to take part in many activities. Where guests are expected to wear gold bracelets with coral, as it is believed it would ward off evil spirits trying to harm the infant.
Gifts
One of the first activities many Savoyards have is one, which is shared across many other cultures but does not leave out the Savoyards. This tradition is gift-giving, these gifts could be gifts to the mother which is traditional, flowers (primarily roses), fumes, and golden jewelry, and to the father these gifts are traditional, spices, furs, and a sum of a mina (preferably three hundred mina). But most choose to buy gifts for the newborn such as a cradle and other common necessities for a newborn or items the newborn could wield and use in the future.
“The feast of Light” by Amelie von Bargiur, Westerwald (1600)
Feast
Another tradition for Savoyards is to hold a feast, might it be large and hosted by the royal household for a royal birth or a small one hosted by a farmer’s family. Most Savoyards would hold a feast that includes heavy meat-based dishes and lots of alcohol. It is believed the more food eaten by the guest, means the more chance the child will have a more painful and sad life. While less eaten food would predict that the child will live a fulfilling life. Hence the reason why most Savoyards will avoid being gluttonous.
Blessings
After the celebrations such as the gift-giving and the grand feast. The festivities would end with blessings. A person would then go to a small shrine with many candles and lighten. The idea is each lighten up candle symbolizes a prayer sent to God. A prayer for the child to be blessed with safety in the cruel and sad world, to live a fulfilling life. After each guest does this, they shall all do a large prayer and be escorted out of the house.
Savoyard Myths and Practices
Besides the traditions which the Savoyards do after the birth of a child, they are also an abundance of myths that a Savoyard believes for a newborn to be comfortable and safe. In this documentation, I will be writing three of these myths and beliefs.Fireplace
Many Savoyards have the belief that the cradle of the child should be near a fireplace during the winters or anytime it is cold. They believe that doing so will keep the child warm and their head warms so they will not freeze under the cruel and cold weather. But this method is rarely used anymore considering the warm climate of San Luciano.
“The Prince Olivier Laurene” By Lucrezia di Bracchi, Sutica (1822)
LightAnother myth Savoyards keep to their hearts is lighting up the rooms of their newborns. As the story says, there is a witch named Fuseur d'Ombres who will come from the shadows and take the child from the cradle as when this vile woman was youthful she was accused of witchcraft and adultery while pregnant and burnt at the stake. After this, the woman while burning swore her soul to thy devil. Once this pact was finished, she swore to take any child away from a mother to make them mourn too. But as the story explains, the witch would not be able to touch the light, hence the lighting up the rooms.
Scents
Savoyards believe that it is important to keep a newborn around scents such as flowers and other calmly smelling items as when the child grows older they will be able to keep good hygiene and know the difference between good and bad hygiene. The scents Savoyard parents will place near the baby’s cradle include lavender and roses
Death by Childbirth
Whenever there is a tragic event such as a mother dying while giving birth to a child. Most Savoyards believe that the mother could either become a spirit that will protect other mothers while in childbirth if their child had lived when they gave birth, or become an evil spirit that haunts expecting mothers. But, many Savoyards also believe a way to ward off this evil spirit is to pray for luck and health than eating healthy foods such as any vegetable and fruit, then, to stay hydrated. In addition, expecting mothers usually maintain themselves in confinement throughout the third trimester of their pregnancy to avoid perilous or anxious situations.
Abandonment
A vile and shunned action for all Savoyards is the abandonment of your children. Besides the moral implications of abandoning your child. Many believe that abandoning your child is denying a gift blessed by GOD and aligning yourself with the devil. Traditionally, whenever a Savoyard parent would abandon their child, the people themselves would seek out justice such as sending that parent to a convent to become a nun or monk, which is one of the less harsh punishments. Another action to punish the parent would be to cut off their tongue, legs, or any limb. Sometimes some Savoyards would even kill the parents.
Now most modern Savoyards living in San Luciano simply shun the person on the streets or could be arrested and charged with criminal actions. But still, the action of abandonment is very severe.
Conclusion
After some months of studying within Savoy. I have seen a very interesting viewpoint and an interesting set of traditions for taking care of them and celebrating their newborns. Before closing up this documentation of Savoyard traditions, I’d like to thank the serene courts of Savoy for teaching me the different traditions of celebrating and taking care of the Savoyard newborns. Hopefully, I will be able to publish more of my studies.

"Hmm, darling should we make a bounty for imperial elves?" The Seregon would jest to her beloved with a cheery, but, calm tone while they ate steak dinner near the shoreline. "Even though they are elves, they bring our kind disgrace for siding with people who hunted us for sport." Alyssa would add after taking a large sip from her wineglass filled with Carrion Black, the 'aheral's tone now more bitter and filled rage. But she'd stay cool and collected.

About punishments- I have a two year warning left in for sending in- wait for it. A meme response
Two years- For- doing a little bit of trolling? I got another one once about characters not being able to interact with other characters if they are both not in the seven skies- while player number #054030 sent a response back or gave a reaction of their character gasping or something in the seven skies- and that player got unpunished Scott free. I was generally upset before about it. But it was a year ago- or felt like a year ago but only months ago. Overall. I do think mods shouldn't shoot first. If it is about a forum response. The mods in both situations should have asked me to change it. Not to give out a punishment. For not anything which- isn't even that bad compared to the stuff other people will send in forums.Am I saying the mods were horrible in this situation or were overall bad mods? No- they just did what they thought was best for the situation- which. In my perspective wasn't the best idea and I understand mods cannot catch everyone. But I would expect if someone is giving their soul to the devil called LOTC. They would at least think of the best way of dealing with the situation.
SpoilerApologizes for the horrible grammar! But hopefully, we can all talk about this without too much trolling or harassment.

"Hmmm, must be Orenians at it again with their false news. So sad- so disappointing they will use a death to insult Savoy." Roberta de Ravensburg would comment with bitterness and disappointment to the fellow scholars of the Savoyard Courts while in the safety of the Palazzo Aggrade. Away from the possibility of violence within the serene city of San Luciano, the woman, seemingly, to be in utter disbelief of this alleged tragedy.

A ‘aheral would be throwing vases and wrecking up her room in anger, throwing down book cases and vases. Nothing which she couldn’t destroy within her room. After some seconds of her acts of wrath, her lover, the Silver Lubba would enter her room confused. The Seregon would then explain her frustration after pulling out a bottle of wine from a cabinet and taking a large chug from the bottle.
“How dare they beat and insult a scholar’s legacy. May these false ones fall, Ando Alur was a city of the void. But, the voidal city’s fall, proved that some dreams shouldn’t be made true. Someone has to stop their foolishness, before more people get hurt. This isn’t even Ando Alur, it was a scholarly city, not the trade state of Sutica.”
After the rant, the woman would sigh, looking at her wand which was thrown onto the ground in all this chaos which she caused in her room. The woman making a very annoyed and deep sigh, the anger just pouring off of her.

“As much as I dislike the Titan, as they call him, and his brood for actions in the past to my family, I do not think it is all right to disrespect their statues or places to show their worship and faith, the ‘aheral are not much better then the Valah.”The aged woman would say while her blonde hair shined under the sun, speaking towards the Silver Lubba while they ate lunch on the shore. As she spoke, the ‘aheral expressed disappointment through her expression and tone, as well expressing the feeling of shame and guilt of the flawed ways of her people.

"He must be blind- I am no longer Roberta de Ravensburg, Roberta Jrent at all, I am- Roberta de Chalons."
The Matriarch of House Chalons would comment to herself while gleefully searching for a new home within San Luciano, having a bright and large smile shining from her her face. The woman seeming to be entirely fine with this 'declaration' from her elder brother.
