[h1][b]Empire of Vornehm[/b][/h1]
[/center]

The people have spoken! The people have pleaded to the Emperor that Vornehm should become a colonial power so that the motherland have no need to import raw materials, increase the economy. The Emperor has long set his eyes on Serrenthia and with the people supporting him, he would have no choice but to actually send a exploration team out to find new lands. Those lands shall become bulwarks of the Vornehm Empire and the Old Faith alike. 

"My people, long have we sat on the sidelines while other nations proceeded to colonize the world and spread their influence. It is imperative that we follow along this path with our brethren of nations! That is why I ask of thee, who dare wish to partake upon this treacherous journey into unknown lands? Who wish to go and find new lands for the Motherland? Who wish for glory forever in the hearts of our people?," the Emperor questioned the populous at a gathering with the Vornheim square. He stood upon the balcony of the palace, looking down on the crowd of his loyal subjects.

Much chatter came to engulf the crowd, feign dares and mockery of one's will to go to these new lands, yet no one approached his majesty. That was until a man of Noble stature stepped forward, a cane in hand with a beard as magnificent as his looks. The crowd grew silent until in a deep tone of voice, the nobleman announced, "I, Horst Heindl, shall partake upon this journey, this quest! I shall do so with my own money, the government need not spend a single piece of shelting for me! I only pray for my majesty's blessing. Will thou bestowth that blessing upon me?"

Emperor Reiter looked down upon the nobleman, a smile coming to his face as this event unfolded in front of him. "You have the blessing of the motherland herself, Hiendl! Go and make haste for there is little time! Best of luck, noble one of the Empire!" 

With the matter concluded the nobleman turned and the crowd proceeded to swarm him, shaking his hand and patting him on the back and escorting him to his home. There Hiendl would begin his preparations, charting courses and reading reference material, as much as need in order to make this expedition a successful one. He would win the sight of the Emperor, his family will become only the noblest, second to the Emperor's family itself!
