-----------------------------
Good Fae of the Duchy of the Eternal Myst’s,
Let word be sent through the land,
To the County of the Violet Tide and the Barony of the Fertile Desert
To the County of the Harvest Moon and the Baronies of Fire and Mist, and Verdant Crux
To the County of the Falcons Aerie and the Baronies of the Starry Eye, the Shining Scales, the Sluagh’s Silence, the Moon’s Crescent and the Enlightened Gaze
To the County of the Liquid Silver
To the Barony of the Smokey Valley
To our Northern Borders and South
From the Rising Sun to the Setting Sky
Be these things known,
Upon our Ducal court, exchanged in Oath was the name Andswaru shared with another. Our Daughter, Daoine Andswaru ni Fiona has been unto us a beacon of hope and a bright shining star in these blizzard days. Her warm Heart and Vigilance have been the cornerstones of what we have sought amongst our nobility. She serves our fealty proud, she honor’s our name even more. As she honors Andswaru and the Eternal Mysts with her love and compassion, her nobility and wisdom, so do I honor her. Be it known, Daoine Andswaru ni Fiona is granted privilege and titles there in as a Count of our realm. Unto her the lands of the County of the Harvest Moon are bestowed, and as our namesake the duties of Regency of the Eternal Myst.
Lord Gaylcogar ap Balor of the Frost Freehold, Lord Worthington il Eiluned of Fire and Mist, and Sir Baker of the Fertile Desert, we call upon your Oaths and service to this Duchy, serve now the Count of the Harvest Moon. In such does the Barony of the Fertile Desert leave the graces of the County of the Violet Tide and join again in the image we crafted.
Through great acts of wisdom and guidance, one among our line has shined to us, defining to us loyalty and always pleasing us in service, even in absentia. He is a man who has not forgotten what it is to dream, and a man who has offered unto us much over the many moons we have been honored with his service. Malikai nu Diktu ap Eiluned, has served our-self and this Duchy as our Ambassador. Though we will call on such service still, be it known we grant unto him the privilege and titles there in as a Count of our Realm.
The Duchy of the Eternal Myst is a wide land, with many who call it home. Many have stepped forth unto us to serve as Baron of the lands in the far reaching corners of the Myst, and as they stepped forth in worth, so did we take them as vassal, and honor them with Escheat. Lord Tor ap Fiona of the Barony of the Smokey Valley, Lord Firewynter ap Eiluned of the County of the Liquid Silver, Lady Westfall ni Gwydion, The County of the Falcons Aerie, So do we call upon your Oaths to serve this Duchy through a new Lord, His Excellency Malikai nu Diktu. Though he has no land, he is Count of the Winds that pass through our valley’s, across our plains and nestle in the coves of our beaches.
In his past he has made mistakes grievous to us to the point where the dreaming struck him blind; grievous to us where he was demoted to but a squire, stripped of his armor, and weapon. One man has been by our side since the beginning. He was our First Knight, he will be our last Knight. Strong has he been in the face of Winter and though a long road traveled, he has redeemed his name in our eyes. He has shown me the definitions of strength. He has shown me the very meaning of loyalty. He has shown me why so many days past we knighted him. He is our First Knight, and though he will be our last, he will be granted the title and privilege of Baron of our lands, Lord Theodore il Eiluned.
As in days past did we grant him safe passage through our realm, so do we do so again. Let all know Lord Theodore may travel unhindered through all our land, and find welcome gates and warmth by all Balefires with in. We have tasked Lord Theodore as Captain of the Wolves of Winter, Our personal Guard. He will be recruiting vassals for such, if you wish to stand steadfast before the storms and wars to come, to serve ourselves and this Duchy, and believe yourself worthy, then step forth to he who is our First Knight.
We call upon Lord Alain Doreth ap Liam of the Liquid Silver to answer to Lord Kaden Firewynter ap Eiluned, who we hence forth entrust as Viscount of the Liquid Silver. In such privilege do we bequeath the Blade of Liquid Silver, forged from the iron atrocities wielded against the lands last true Count and stained by the silver which is of the County’s name. By our word and action this blade which was cold and became stronger so shall it be the symbol of the seat of the Liquid Silver, so shall it always be held by its true lord.
We call upon Lady Victoria Nox of the Twista-cap to answer to Viscontessa Lienne Westfall ni Gwydion of the Falcons Aerie. Long has the Falcons Aeire stood, long shall it continue. Be it curse or banter, be it plague or blessing, it remains, as always it shall remain.
Long have We bared the burden of many oaths through our lands, now do We call on those we have found true and noble to hold this burden, if but a piece of what we have held. Though many who once called us Lord and Liege will be finding Escheat with another, We remain as we were. Be those of our fealty in direct oath, or vassal of our vassal, know we are your Lords Lord. Know that our might is yours, and our wisdom your council. Know that we remain as the very wheel of time.
Our words in the past hold no less weight. If those who seek to rally strong among others remain, then know too does the Coral Guard and Armed Might of Pacifica remain, so too does the Wyvern Ryders of our own banner, so too does each Barony and hold. The strong arm of Pacifica and the Eternal Myst have been blessed to stand with their sister fae in this cold season, finding a new warmth among each other and an everlasting hope. It is our endeavor that as the Eternal Myst stand through the storm of seasons passing, that the magics of our being, the very soul of Arcadia stand in triumph as the Myst. Only in joining with one another, standing unrelenting in the face of those who deem to bring fear and oppression upon our doors will we succeed in such. For succeed we shall.
Our doors and halls remain open to all of our land, it is our privilege to offer solace when it is called upon.
Eternal are the Mysts, Glorious is Pacifica,
Ryknar Andswaru ap Eiluned
Duke of the Eternal Mysts
Hand and Eye of the Kingdom of Pacifica
High Lord of House Eiluned |
