A PRINCE NO MORE The death of the Prince of Merryweather, Heinrich II Lothar von Alstreim One cold morning in the year of our Lord 1904, there was a great commotion within the white walls of Corwinsburg Castle in the Arentanian Alps. Servants ran from chamber to chamber, carrying towels and water, doctors arrived from the capital, soldiers waited quietly for news. Many footsteps echoed through the corridors that morning, but then silence engulfed the Waldenian castle before a quiet scream echoed in one of the chambers. “It’s a boy, Your Highness. Do you have a name for him?” Inquired a maid “Heinrich Lothar…” Silence was short as a trembling voice of the mother answered the inquiry. On that day it began. It was a warm, summer day in the year of our Lord 1952 when the Prince of Merryweather and his party travelled to Whitespire in order to hold an emergency Royal Diet meeting before a planned conference regarding some pressing international matters. There was no indication of what was to come. Everything was going according to plan until a mass of soldiers clad in purple and black streamed into the castle. They all drew their blades and started killing. It then became evident, Stassion betrayed all the Kingdom stood for. AN ORDER WAS GIVEN, THE VOICE OF A TRAITOR ECHOED “Do not harm the Chancellor, Duke Janos, or Grand Prince Ferdinand! Kill the King, kill the Prince of Merryweather!” Heinrich’s eyes widened as he faced the blade of an armoured soldier of Stassion - there was no escape. The last thing he saw was Johannes running to safety, Boon jumping out of the window, Walter with raised hands and the awful sound of a body being cut open. It was a quick death. It was a painful death. One he feared for years. One of which he told his dear Aleksandra so many times. The very death she did not want to hear of was real, and it claimed her husband. The tip of the blade pierced the Princely throat. The redhead fell to his knees, bleeding out. The man who stood at the head of the state, always in shining armour, held in high esteem by his enemies, was humiliated - cut up like a piglet for a feast. The pain was immense. The last thing he managed to think of was his family. People he loved but failed their trust in the end. His pride would never allow him to admit this failure. Definitely not after he fell to his knees begging for his wife's forgiveness so many years ago. There was no turning back now. Henry managed to mutter out his last words while choking on his blood… “I FOUGHT I LOST NOW I REST” The rest was darkness. He was free of all his burdens. The Prince of Merryweather and the Rhine, Landgrave of Alstreim, Baron of Corwinsburg, Lord of Blackwater, Elected Margrave of Vanderfell, Lord Vandalore, Lord Regent of Aaun, uncle to the King and most importantly husband and a father was now lying dead on the floor of the Hand of Horen, a few meters away from his office. Now the Principality was in his son's hands, safe at last. He failed his family, especially his wife Aleksandra who he loved dearly. He failed many. Heinrich II Lothar passed on that day but he did it with dignity, defending the boy he proudly called his King... On that day it ended. HEINRICH II LOTHAR VON ALSTREIM PRINCE OF MERRYWEATHER 1904-1952

NACHFOLGE DES HAUSES DES BLUTIGEN RABEN Succession of the House of the Blood Raven Penned by the Prince of Merryweather, Heinrich II Lothar in the year of our Lord, 1947 [ ♪ ] TO ALL THOSE WHO MAY BE CONCERNED, Times are challenging. Poverty, hunger, the risk of war - each of us fears what the next day, week or month may bring. Fear must not paralyse every day of our precious life, it is too short to be afraid. The last few years of peace and relative seclusion have allowed me to spend more time with members of my family, at least those who stay by my side at all times. It is only now that I have realised that I am getting older and my children are growing up really fast, faster than I have anticipated, soon to be adults and will start families of their own. Faced with the inexorable passing of time, it is time to think about the future, about what awaits this House after I am gone. Therefore, today, on the 5th of Tobias’ Bounty in the year of our Lord 1947 in accordance with the resolution of the Fürstenrat, I declare my son Johannes Lothar von Alstreim the Count of Whisperwood and heir to the Principality of Merryweather. If my son is unable to succeed to the throne after my passing or abdication, his brother Corwin Ulrich is next in the line of succession. If neither of the brothers is able to lead the Principality, my youngest son, Karl Franz, is to sit on the Blood Raven Throne. May merciful God watch over Merryweather and the Princely House von Alstreim. GOTT MIT UNS, HIS HIGHNESS, Heinrich II von Alstreim, Prince of Merryweather and the Rhine, Landgrave of Alstreim, Baron of Corwinsburg, Lord of Blackwater, Lord Vandalore

THE FIRST CRUSADE OF REINMAR A REPORT ON EVENTS LAST SAINT’S DAY Issued by the HAUPTMANN OF REINMAR On this 13th day of Joma and Umund of 496 E.S. TO THE PIOUS MEN AND WOMEN OF REINMAR AND WHOMEVER THIS MAY CONCERN, A most momentous event took place on the last Saint’s Day in the year of our Lord. After the concussion of the dual weddings of Helfgott - Berkhoven and Helfgott - Burke. The mad Necromancer Funnybone and his ilk graced Reinmar's firm towers with the blood of man and beast alike in a show of their disgusting cruelty. However, within the walls of Reinmar was the truest form of faith before GOTT. Men and women of multiple races from across Aevos had come to support the most holy union of the two happy couples. So when the party guests, as well as the brides and grooms, saw the cruel action, all quickly ran into action. Under the loose command of Hauptmann von Reinmar but mostly with the Lord’s divine grace on them, the diverse group of Canonist forces engaged the foul darkspawn who had foolishly remained bear witness to the Lord’s wrath. NOTED PARTIES HOUSE OF WEISS Lord Walter and his Wife Marian Weiss, Who had come to the wedding, lived entirely up the name of the ever-zealous House of Wiess, both of them joining the front line against the heretic shield wall. With Walter landing, an important hit on the dark spawn with the House Holy Blade. KNIGHTS OF SAINT JUDE The Knights of Saint Jude appeared in force at the battle, taking the bulk of the front line against the enemy shield wall. Their most holy force held the line against the dark spawn line for the bulk of the battle, aided by other good men of Canonism. And prevent their taint from moving even an inch closer to Reinmar once the battle began. The Landser would like to express their utmost respect for the knights of Saint Jude and their desire to work together again, as their order in battle was exemplary. We were also honored to see a new faithful join their ranks after the battle. LANDSERS VON REINMAR The Landsers von Reinmar, including all four of those who had their wedding just prior, stood fast alongside their Waldenian Brothers, with Particular not to a very amusing fireball fired by Oberlandser Mage Arthur Burke, which caught the scum Funny Bone causing him to eventually flee the battle screaming. 'Put it out! Put it out!' as well as Leutnant Avya Berkhoven, who slides the massive head from the bear-sized flesh golem. Overall, the Landsers all conducted themselves well according to their roles. Using properly combined warfare with magic, alchemy, and slayer-steel brute force. FORCES OF MINITZ The Forces of Minitz, including their templar, managed to break into the center of their formation, with their templar blasting and shutting down any more range attack from the Iblees forces. The Prince of Minitz Ferdinand Barclay, standing and fighting alongside his cousin, his Princely Grace Manfred Barclay, the second. PERSONAL MENTIONS Laurissa von Haense for her efforts in targeting the most dangerous of the enemy and going to great physical lengths for our holy cause. The House of Colborn, while they may not have intended it, sent a very big soldier in a small package. MESSAGE TO THE FAITHFUL Canonism won the battle this day, but the war rages on as Iblees forever attempts to corrupt our world. So never let your sword dull or become ignorant to corruption, for he who rests rests. Wer Rastet, Der Rostet. With the glory of Gott's victory in your hearts. I encourage you reading this missive to remember we are Gott's blades, and our one true enemy is Iblees. So, never turn your back on your fellow canonist, no matter their secular allegiance. Now, all good canonists, go with Gott and steel yourselves against corruption! CLOSING PRAYER Saint Edmond, model of all knights, possess me not with fear; grant me peace and strength in the hour of battle. Let God think not on my faults but on my potential. I swear that if I come through this day with courage, I will strive to embody the honour that thou didst: I shall show clemency to the prisoner, give succour to the widow and spare the peasant. Amen! GOTT MIT UNS, ,Hauptman of Reinmar Thank you to @Petsch2k@Trey@Balthasar for playing the baddies and giving everyone a fantastic event!

ERNENNUNG DES ERSTEN FÜRSTENRATS Appointment of the first Princely Council Penned by the Princely Scribe, Konrad Lipa in the year of our Lord, 1940 [ ♪ ] With the completion of construction work comes new responsibilities. New tasks and challenges await our Principality every new day. In accordance with the positions announced at the inauguration of Merryweather and by the authority granted to me as the Prince von Alstreim by His Majesty, the King, I announce the establishment of the first Princely Council of Merryweather. The council will consist of six members and its main task will be to assist the Prince of Merryweather in his reign and to advise him at times of need. Members of the Council, with the exception of the Bailiff, are appointed for an indefinite time period, which stipulates that the end of their term of office is marked by resignation, removal from the Council by the Prince of Alstreim blood or death. Each Council member must have been a citizen of Merryweather for at least five years prior to appointment and must have demonstrated skills that will assist them in fulfilling the duties of their specific position. Each person who sits on the Council is accountable to the Prince of Merryweather directly, without any intermediaries, as it is the Council members who enact the laws of the Principality and should ensure that these laws are respected. DER MARSCHALL VON MERRYWEATHER UND DER SHERIFF VON APFELBERG The Marshal of Merryweather and Sheriff of Apfelberg For his continued support of the Princely House von Alstreim, now as in previous years, the title is bestowed on Walter Vanderrecht. He is the first Sheriff to be stationed in the office located in the heart of the Principality, right outside of the Schloss Ulrichsburg, and the same office will be the seat of the next Sheriffs of Apfelberg after Herr Vanderrecht retires from office. As the Principality's chief law enforcement officer, the Sheriff has the authority to: I. Arrest suspected criminals and hold them in his personal cells located within his office building until the arrival of the Commander of the Merryweather Rangers or the Prince of Merryweather himself. II. Dispense justice in matters where the Prince's presence is not needed - theft, armed robbery, burglary etc. III. Issue bounties for criminals and use the Princely Seal to validate their worth. IV. Wear a specially crafted star-shaped badge that represents the power of his office. DER KOMMANDANT DER RANGERS VON MERRYWEATHER The Commander of the Rangers of Merryweather Dietrich Faust is someone who needs no introduction to anybody in Aaun. A capable and loyal soldier, always standing at the side of Prince von Alstreim. His faith in the Alstreim cause is supported by his brave deeds, for it was he who tracked down and then killed many spawns of Iblees on behalf of the Prince. Now, officially for his service and merit, he is appointed the Commander of the Rangers of Merryweather so that he can continue to track down darkspawn and bring them justice in the name of God and the House von Alstreim. As the Commander of the Alstreim levy, the Commander has the authority to: I. Promote his soldiers to a higher rank. II. Track down, in coordination with the Sheriff, darkspawn on his own and fully at the expense of the Principality. III. Execute, publicly or privately, not only the spawns of Iblees but also criminals if the situation requires such measures. DER LANDVOGT VON APFELBERG The Bailiff of Apfelberg Anyone who has spent time among the people of Merryweather knows the master trader, champion at cooking, Boon, very well. His presence as well as his support is invaluable. From the very beginning, he faithfully stood by our cause, providing us with quality meals and good company. Now comes his time of trial, as he is appointed the first Bailiff of Apfelberg for the next four years. As head of the Merryweather community, Bailiff has certain authority: I. Collection of taxes from residents of Apfelberg and other parts of the Principality. II. Organise local festivals where every culture present in Merryweather will be promoted. III. During the election of the next Bailiff, the previous Bailiff can vote for himself with the power of one vote or another candidate with the power of two votes. DER FÜRSTLICHE HEROLD The Princely Herald The tasks of the Princely Herald are given to one of my two eldest sons, Johannes Lothar. The boy has always shown an interest in writing and court affairs, although until he reaches the age of sixteen, his Lechian tutor, Konrad Lipa, will pen documents on his behalf. The position of the Herald comes with no authorities other than using the Princely Seal to submit the written documents and announce the decisions made by the Princely Council. DER GRAF VON WARSOVIA The Count of Warsovia His Lordship Waclaw Jakub Jazloviecki, as a subject to the Prince of Merryweather is granted a seat in the Princely Council until his heir replaces him as a reigning Count of Warsovia.The Count is granted all the rights and authorities included in the affirmation of his title from the year 1909. DER FREIHERR VON TRIGLAV The Baron of Triglav His Lordship Mikhail Stefan Jazloviecki, as a subject to the Prince of Merryweather is granted a seat in the Princely Council until his heir replaces him as a reigning Baron of Triglav. The Baron is granted all the rights and authorities included in the affirmation of his title from the year 1927.

Großfürst Barclay was elected as Lord Vandalore in the year of our Lord 1919 and served us, the Waldenians, dutifully for the last two decades. Following his abdication the Diet was summoned within the lands of Merryweather to elect a new head of the Waldenic Diet. There was only one candidacy, that of Heinrich II Lothar von Alstreim, Fürst of Merryweather and the Rhine who represented the Electorate MERRYWEATHER-ALSTREIM. The Prince was asked a few questions after which the Diet called a vote on electing Heinrich II as the new Lord Vandalore. VOTE: ELECTION OF HEINRICH II LOTHAR AS THE 14TH LORD VANDALORE JA Merryweather-Alstreim Reinmar-Sutica Minitz Einmont ABSTAINED: Hohengarten Velen Arentania The vote passed, 4-0 as three Electors did not arrive for the session. As the voting concluded, His Highness Heinrich II Lothar von Alstreim was elected the new Lord Vandalore. He has promised the electors that he will revive the tradition of Waldenfest and finish the project of the Vander Knights started by the previous Lord Vandalore. ELECTION OF THE CUSTODIAN OF THE BOOK OF WALDENIA During the First Session of the Seventh Waldenic Diet the matter of electing the new Custodian of the Book of Waldenia was suggested by His Princely Grace Manfred Barclay, who represented the Electorate of REINMAR-SUTICA. The Book of Waldenia is an important literary work for the Waldenians as it contains the history and customs of their culture. For many years the Book has been lying covered in dust and thus lacks much information from the modern history of the Waldenian people. His Princely Grace offered himself as the first Custodian of the Book and promised to write the missing chunk of history. As it became evident that there are no other candidates to become the first Custodian the Electors called a vote on electing Manfred Barclay the Custodian of the Book of Waldenia. VOTE: ELECTION OF MANFRED BARCLAY AS THE FIRST CUSTODIAN OF THE BOOK OF WALDENIA JA Merryweather-Alstreim Reinmar-Sutica Minitz Einmont ABSTAINED: Hohengarten Velen Arentania The vote passed, 4-0 as three Electors did not arrive for the session.

DIE EINWEIHUNG VON MERRYWEATHER The Inauguration of Merryweather Penned by the Princely Scribe, Konrad Lipa in the year of our Lord, 1939 [ ♪ ] Until a few years ago, the name Merryweather raised questions as it was hard to spot.

THE OFFICIAL ANTHEM OF THE WALDENIC FOLK Die offizielle Hymne der waldenischen Völker Issued by the PRINCE OF MERRYWEATHER On this 10th day of the Sun’s Smile of 1930 The Waldenian people have been strong and united for centuries. We have our national symbols, language, colours and food, but there has never been a song that unites all our people. With this in mind I, Prince Heinrich II Lothar von Alstreim, wrote the lyrics to a well-known folk tune, which will serve as our anthem through the ages. May it strengthen our unity in moments of victory as well as of defeat. [ ♪ ] TEXT IN WALDENIAN: Rufst du, mein Vaterland Sieh uns mit Herz und Hand, All dir geweiht Heil dir, Waldenia!

PRINCELY ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE MOVE TO THE LANDS OF SAVOY Issued on the 4th of Godfrey's Triumph, 1924, at Merryweather [♪] It has been two years since I ascended my father's throne as the Prince of Merryweather. During those two years, I tried my best to match my father in all possible aspects of reign. I kept in touch with our family in the County of Warsovia, stayed in the Duchy of Minitz and visited other Waldenians in Haense. Unfortunately, my efforts have been interrupted by the vile hordes of Mori who are destroying the world as we know it. I fought them in Fenn, I fought them in Minitz. Both of these battles were unfortunately lost for the human kind. They had more men and equipment, I saw it with my own eyes. In the face of this deadly threat, I call upon all the inhabitants of the lands of Arentania under my authority: Waldenians, Lechians and Daels - follow me southwards, where Minitz refugees have set up camp outside our former home, our pearl of the south - the Castle of Merryweather. The castle, despite its overgrown exterior, is still usable on the inside. It will certainly work wonderfully as our new temporary home. I personally invite the following noble families from our United Kingdom of Aaun to move into Merryweather as soon as they reach the southern shores of Almaris: Members of the Royal House of Alstion @LithiumSedai Members of the Ducal House of Barclay @MadOne Members of the Margravial House of Rosius @rep2k Members of the Margravial House of Reuss @ncarr Members of the Comital House of Jazloviecki @ratlordmagic Members of the Comital House of Ivanovich @Optimus420 Members of the Comital House of Augusten @Frank_Dog In addition to the aforementioned noble houses, I also invite: The Right Honourable, Manfred Barclay, Baron of Sigradz @Ramon The Right Honourable, Sir Émir d’Arbre, Count of l'Arbre d'Or @exoo GOTT MIT UNS HIS HIGHNESS, Heinrich II von Alstreim, Prince of Merryweather and the Rhine, Landgrave of Alstreim, Baron of Corwinsburg, Lord of Blackwater
