Keiser Herald of Skeptoni's Speech on Schulstein
Today Keiser Herald held a speech in the capital about the current situation in the Fulric-Schulstein tensions. After the speech was given copies of the speech were sent to all the old world leaders and it was distributed across the old world when Skeptonian merchants started to bring in free copies into other nations after a royal decree from Keiser Herald. This is what was written on all the copies.

Hello everyone thank you for coming to listen to this speech on the current political landscape over in Fulric and Schulstein. It is important that you all have knowledge about the history in that region prior to hearing what I have to say. In 1699 the brave revolutionaries in Schulstein fought against the tyrannical grand king of Schulstein. They successfully won their war for independence the same year against the cruel king. The Schulstein King ceded a third of his territory to the revolutionaries and FORFEITED ALL CLAIMS to those lands, so the Duchy of Fulric was born. But in 1807 the fool king Marwick Ludwig Donitz IV attempted to take the lands despite having no claims to them or a justifiable reason for war. The King was pushed back and defeated by the Fulricians. Then once again in 1809 King Marwick attempted to do the same thing, he was swiftly defeated once more. Now in 1836 King Marwick threatens to try and do these horrific acts again. THESE ACTS ARE NOTHING SHORT OF TERRORISM! Three times the Fulricians proved they did not need and still do not need the Schulsteins to impose their tyrannical rule on them! The Grand King of Schulstein is a barbaric man and he threatens the worlds peace! The mad man will not stop at just taking one more kingdom, destroying one more empire, torturing one more human life. I call upon the leaders of the world to stand up to this tyrannical mad man. Anyone who is aiding this terrorist or just doesn't care about it, just ask yourself "What if it was my freedom they threatened to take away, What if it was my family and friends whose lives would be destroyed by these terrorist, WHAT IF it was happening right in my own kingdom... I will leave it at that, may the gods bless the world.

For a second the crowd stood still,their breath taken at the power of the speech and then they exploded into a chant of support to rid the world of the terrorist in Schulstein.

Herald had returned to his chambers hours after he gave his speech and began to write a letter to the Grand King Of Schulstein...

To The Grand King Of Schulstein

To The Grand King of Schulstein,

Marwick I don't know what claims you think you have or some mad way you can justify your terrorist like actions but I have only this to say. If you dare wage war on the Fulricians I will destroy your kingdom. I promised them only one thing and that is if you dare declared war you would die screaming. I personally will march into your capital and perform a blood eagle on you. I personally will raze your cities, ravage your country side and all that you hold dear will turn to ash. Even if there is a piece of paper that says you won the war and you can have the Fulrician lands your heirs will be the kings and queens of ashes, rulers of a destroyed land. And it will all be at my hand. So think of this letter and think about what the value of your life and kingdom is when you decide if its worth it to do something as moronic as attack lands you have no real claim on.

Imperium Of Skeptoni
September 1836

Lithasblot



The Imperium of Skeptoni has long been connected to the religion of Ásatrú a pagan religion as old as the world its self. Today on September 21st the festival of Lithasblot has begun. The festival gives thanks to the giantess Jörð the personification of earth for her prosperous bounty. It is common practice and usually expected from every family for alms to be given to the unfortunate at this time in the form of food, clothing, or money. This is done to help bring communities closer together and to show that everyone has a place in the world. Some influential people in Skeptonian history such as philosophers, commanders, artist, etc have been known to have nothing until the Lithasblot gave them something and once they could get back on their feet they usually in turn gave back to the community for helping them in a time of need.



As per custom the ruling monarch at the time led a great feast in the capital for the nobility. The most talented dancers, sword jugglers, and musicians from all over came to entertain for this festival. The feast had seven courses of some of the most luxurious and best made food in the world. A kid goat, goslings, chickens, pigeons, young rabbits, herons, leveret, a fat capon stuffed, chickens covered with yolks of eggs and sprinkled with spice, wild boars, anything you can think of it was there and it was delicious. Keiser Herald decided to give his alms to the unfourtante this Lithasblot by donating all the leftovers from feast to orphanages around the capital.

The nobles weren't the only ones celebrating as pubs all over the nation were packed as people drank, ate, and sung together during the festivities. Tonight was the night were people all over the nation came together to celebrate as one, tonight was the night were everyone was proud to be a Skeptonian. Although after the first night of celebration and everyone had slept of their hangover it appeared that about 5000 dollars in damage had occurred to a pub in the capital. A new record after last years 3300 dollars in damage.

Skeptonian-Tangarian Relations

Skeptonian-Tangarian relations seemed to be at an all time high. After several successful diplomatic missions the Skeptonians have sent the Tangarian Emperor an alliance treaty. Not only that but talks of a royal marriage between the Emperor and the Keisers youngest daughter have been very popular among the nobility.

Skeptonian-Tangarian Alliance Treaty of 1836

1. The Imperium Of Skeptoni and the Empire of Tangaria agree to a total Military Alliance. Promising military support and military access for the other during the event of a war.

2. Should one of the nations not be able to abide by the aforementioned point they shall have a proper reason and even if they can not provide soldiers to a nations war effort they should provide support in some other way.

3. Unrestricted trade will occur between Skeptoni and Tangaria.

Serranthian Slave Trade
Slavery certainly wasn't a new thing to the old world but the recent expeditions to Serranthia have brought on a new interest in purchasing prisoners from Serranthian natives. Despite slavery long been abolished in mainland Skeptoni some have asked of the Skeptonian government to legalize the use of slaves in their Outpost/Colonies. The Keiser is expected to soon give judgement on the matter.

Anyone else still wanting to post? I believe Dedonus and The Grey Warden need to post and I'll do the update.

@Theodorable

Herald stood in his room quietly and waited for his youngest daughter Kari to sit down in front of him before he spoke. Kari upon seeing his serious attitude was concerned. "Father is everything alright?" Kari had asked. "Yes my dear everything is fine." Herald paused for a moment and then continued what he had to say. "Kari I have decided it is time for you to marry, the groom I have chosen for you is Emperor Jakob of Tangaria but he doesn't know this yet." Kari was the poster child for being a proper lady and she had always dreamed of being swept off her feet by a powerful monarch and then riding into the sunset with him. Kari broke into a giant smile ran over to her father and hugged him. "I love you dad I promise I will help make the marriage work!" Kari shouted. Herald hugged her back "I know you will dear, I will write to Emperor Jakob now to discuss if this marriage could take place but for now you must wait. Even though we are quite friendly with the Tangarians alliances aren't forged in a day." Herald had told her. Kari was satisfied with what he had to say and left Herald's room and Herald was happy that she was happy about the marriage but Herald wasn't just doing this for her happiness. Herald had decided that he wanted to integrate the Tangarians into his own empire. If Herald could marry his royal Skeptonian daughter to a Emperor of Skeptonian descent then it would be easier to integrate the Tangarians.

To Emperor Jakob

Jakob our two great nations have had great relations for a long time and I think it is in both of our interest to strengthen those relations. Since you are a man of Skeptonian descent I was interested in arranging a marriage between my youngest daughter Kari and yourself. I would have taken this request to you personally but I am unable to leave Skeptoni at the moment.

Sincerely, Keiser Herald Skaneg.

Herald sat his ink pen down and was satisfied with what he had wrote. The first part of his plan was in motion.
