State of Esshar

[ilio]

1738

Osrona's point during these times of war is clear. Opting for a clear, minimalist approach in these State of Addresses.

• Elesius Soleis has been made the first Paladin in decades, a rank separate from the Order of the First Light and the Church but one which the Esshar Empire holds highly all the same.
  

• Lloyd Durages has been promoted to Radiant for his efforts in the war and high sense of duty, a long time coming. He bears the crest of the Blazing Lion Knights of past.
  

• Ophelia Soleis has been granted nobility for her families past deeds for the Crown but more importantly her own diplomatic ventures to aid to Osrona and it's people, her kids will hold status as minor nobility. Elesius humbly refused this offer like his grandfather, Lightbringer Elijah Soleis before him.
  

And finally, to shed light on the situation from months ago, a more formal document/warrant has been shared with Osrona's people:

Regulus Grimmore - Wanted for Sedition, Aiding and Abetting, Criminalism, Desertion.
Asta Hargrave - Violating Clause 5 of the Myllenoris-Osrona Treaty when attempted arrest was made, Assault on a leader, Declaring War, Terrorism, Sedition, Murder, Resisting Arrest, Aiding and Abetting.

The Capital Crimes
Murder - Asta Hargrave's murder of Order of the First Light Knight Hrist.
Sedition - Regulus Grimmore conferred with foreign leader Asta Hargrave (Myllenoris' Leader) and then sought the King in private, suggesting to break up the Triumvirate Law (A Law signed into existence by the previous King) by replacing it with a forged, manipulated copy instead of going about it the proper way.
Sedition/Revolution - Regulus of House Grimmore, one of the three major houses continuously made efforts to question King Alexander's claim to the Throne, witnessed by several nobles and people at the party. This and his abandoning of Osrona led to the removal of his nobility.
Terrorism - The fake holy-war waged by Asta Hargrave, pulling out of the Siege after Regulus Grimmore and Asta Hargrave were the ones who asked for stricter terms. Essentially manipulating and lying of political nature to put Osrona and its people in danger and create tension between cities.
Assault on a Leader - After resisting arrest, Asta Hargrave attacked several high-ranking members of the Shimmering City.

This finally came to a high at the wedding party, where a gang of sewer kids were encouraged to crash a private party by Regulus Grimmore and Asta Hargrave at the Petrakis Castle. And then finally when Asta Hargrave (an uninvited guest) called forth spirits and magic against the Queen in a place of celebration. When Osrona made efforts to arrest, it was met with threats of murder and stark refusal and the night escalated from there.

[[This document was handed around Osrona as an explanation to the higher echelons of society but now has been made available to all people.
Essentially it is made from Osronans perspective, as all these State of Esshar addresses are propaganda pieces.]]


The Esshar Empire stands in agreement with the Church Contract, signed by the late Saint Pericles and King Alexander II Petrakis.

A United Osrona.

"I will not agree to the ridiculous demands of two-hundred live sacrifices made. To even ask for such shows a disregard for human life. We will not waver in face of the aggression of Asta Hargrave who sees fit to wage a war against innocents merely because I call to question their crimes. We will defend all our people, from the merchants in Messaris to the people in Sudbury to the nobles in Aerendale."

King Alexander Petrakis

And finally, Princess Alice Petrakis addressed Osrona in recent times, telling them to have faith. Speaking of a sign from the Angels and Kraus above.. could it be true?
