Issued by the DUKE OF VIDAUS On the 12th day of Vyzmey ag Hyff of 515 E.S. To the Noble People of the Kingdom of Haense, It is with a heavy heart and profound sorrow that we convey the news of the untimely passing of a cherished member of the esteemed House of Ruthern. In the quiet residence of the Castle of Morteskvan, within the walls of the ducal chambers, tragedy has befallen the realm, as Mikhaila vas Ruthern, the beloved heir to the Duchy of Vidaus, has departed during the sacred act of childbirth. Her motherhood was a sacrament held most dearly, and her great love for rearing the next generation, unfortunately, claimed her life. Thus, we dub her as ‘Mikhaila the Mother’. Mikhaila was not only a beacon of hope and ambition for the next generation of the House of Ruthern but also a symbol of unity and strength for the entire Kingdom of Haense. Her untimely demise leaves an irreplaceable void in the hearts of her family and friends, and is a great loss to the future of the Ruthern lands. In her brief time among the people, Mikhaila demonstrated unwavering dedication to her kin and a profound sense of responsibility towards her noble lineage. Her compassion, wisdom, and kindness were virtues that held the path of those fortunate enough to know her. During this time of profound grief, let the people come together as a kingdom to offer solace and support to the grieving House of Ruthern. The loss of an heir is a tragedy that extends beyond the confines of a family, touching the very essence of the shared community. MIKHAILA ‘THE MOTHER’ VAS RUTHERN 484 ES - 515 ES In her passing, she has left the last of her children to prosper in her stead. The title of Heiress now rests upon the shoulders of her eldest daughter, Lady Tatiyana Josefina. In time, she shall earn the title of Baroness, just as her mother did before her. DRUZ GJERNZ AG GRYVNZ, His Grace, Viktor var Ruthern, Duke of Vidaus, Count of Metterden, Viscount of Greyspine, Baron of Rostig, Lord of Morteskvan, Patriarch of All-Ruthern and Protector of the South

Published from the County of Malkovya ISSUED ON THE 11TH OF TOV AND YERMEY, 501 E.S. As our society marches unendingly forwards, the Countess Anabel Elia Colborn has fulfilled the duties assigned to her following the abdication of her eldest son, Carolus Ivan Colborn. For 18 years has she ruled justly and with great warmth over the growing Comital household, however age and the onset of senility draws her away from the forefront of peerage towards the pleasant home that she built at Vitraval upon Afors. Therefore, Lady Anabel wishes to abdicate her position as the Countess of Malkovya and Matriarch of House Colborn to her well-trained Grandson and Heir, Lord Cassian Colborn who has proven himself quite qualified. As such, Cassian Alarik Colborn shall henceforth be recognised as the Patriarch of the House of Colborn, the Count of Malkovya, Viscount of Venzia, Baron of Bethlenen, Lord of Vitraval, and the Protector of Scyflings, and Lady Anabel retired to her Council position as the Keeper of the Book of Colborn. Her Ladyship, Anabel Elia Colborn, Countess-Emerita of Malkovya, Keeper of the Book, Lady Auditor of the Royal Duma, and Secretary of the Esrova Courts The Right Honourable, Cassian Alarik Colborn, Count of Malkovya, Viscount of Venzia, Baron of Bethlenen, Lord of Vitraval, and the Protector of Scyflings

To House Melpestaus, From House Pinemaw "To Minuvas Melphestaus, My name is Elijahu Pinemaw, the current holder of the Hereditary Landless County of Pinemaw. I have read a recent article regarding a biography directed towards you, authored by a Scribe hired to your Household. And while I am amused and congratulate you dearly on your long line of achievements and brave actions, I would like to bring to your attention an error in the writing. Perhaps it was something as simple as a writing error or the misreading of old, faded documents. And I am not claiming any ill-intent towards you or your family at all. I respect you, and hope you will return the same respect. [!] Attached is a clipping of a copy of the biography. 'Of notable occurrence was a rebellion by the Princeps landed vassal, the county of Pinemaw. The Pinemaw rebellion was savagely put down and the titles rescinded, placing the House of Melphestaus in a distant succession to the Kingdom of Rozania as the primary title holders of the county of Pinemaw.' I'd like to bring to your attention that although the titles were indeed seized, the County of Pinemaw had temporarily ceased to exist before the Terroristic Peralien Maelstorm had set foot on Ebonwood soil, dissolved when she betrayed Urguan in exchange for Orenia. It was the Gwaithorship of Pinemaw that was seized into your possession, not the County. In addition, Peralien Maelstorm had no dynastic claim to the Kingdom or Duchy of Rozania (The Kingdom had ceased to exist after 40 SE), your biographer may have accidently assumed such a fact with Rozania because I myself was the Duke of Rozan in Krugmar before I dissolved it with unanimous vote from my Ducal Council. But the person in charge before me was a pure-blooded Buckfort, who had no blood or legal relations to a Maelstorm or a Pinemaw. I was only put in power because I was seen as a vital option, due to my Ancestor's position on the long dissolved Rzad. Let us break bread, Minuvas, and resolve any error or wrongdoing."

House Colborn: Succession - Carolus Published from the Viscounty of Venzia ISSUED ON THE 11TH OF WZUVAR AG BYVCA, 468 E.S. O’ GUD, VOR HJELP I GYNE ERE, Six long years have gone by since the passing of the former Viscountess of Venzia and my beloved cousin, Dame Ada Natalya Colborn, of whom I still think often to this day. Since then, I have taken on the task of leading House Colborn and have accomplished it to the best of my ability. However, such days belong to the past, and the time for the new generation to show their prowess has come. Therefore, with Godan as my witness, I hereby cede my position as Patriarch of House Colborn, including all of the House’s landed titles, to Carolus Ivan Colborn, effective immediately once this missive is published. House Colborn has always been proud of the meritocratic system used in the choosing of a new Patriarch. Carolus has proven himself capable beyond any doubt, and I trust that he will lead this family to greater heights - more than I could have accomplished. Even through my abdication, I will remain here to support the new Lord of House Colborn in any way I can, and I will continue to serve dutifully in His Majestys Brotherhood. SKRALI VOR GUD, His Lordship, Baldrum Carr Ingvar Colborn, Captain of the Colborn Company, Lieutenant of the Brotherhood of St. Karl The Honourable, Carolus Ivan Colborn, Viscount of Venzia, Baron of Bethlenen, Lord of Vorenburg, Protector of Scyflings, Her Ladyship, Anabel Elia Colborn, Keeper of The Book, Scribe of the House of Colborn,
