1731 AC
Today, High Lady Asta Hargrave stood before the lords and denizens of the Kingdom of Myllenoris. Teraphim and humans alike gathered at the Tower to hear the words of their theocrat.
Quote:We stand at an unprecedented moment, in our Kingdom's history. We have spent many decades comfortable in our isolated woods. Our homes. We have cultivated our strength, raised powerful warriors, craftsmen, scholars. Through isolation, we have prospered. But all this changed when High Lord Randor Dinendir lost his life in his pursuit of peace.
I have served Myllenoris in his abrupt absence. I have secured our sovereignty as an independent people. I have ensured the sanctity of our grounds, and the ways of Aschea's Faith. But my work-- our work, is far from finished. For you see, the time of recluse and isolation is over.
The Spirits have whispered, and I have listened. They are my guiding wind. My northern star. Aschea's will paves the way toward prosperity and balance.
But there are agents that would threaten this balance that we work to preserve.
The first announcement: I have agreed to the marriage proposal of Lord Regulus ven Grimmore, the head of the great house of Osrona. This decision did not come to me easily, but through it, a friendship will be secured between Osrona and our people. This secures our independence, and aid for the fights yet to come.
The second announcement: Ilburg, the refuge of bandits, slavers, rogue mercenaries in the sands. I have meditated long and hard on them. The spirits have spoken, and I, their listener and speaker, heed their words.
The remnants of Elaide's influence stir in this place. As I am High Lady Asta Hargrave, Head of Aschea's Faith, I exercise the power bestowed upon me by Aschea herself.
Myllenoris, and Aschea's Faith, declare Holy War upon Ilburg and the dreaded occultists and witches that dwell within. We will purge them, remove every stain of witchcraft from this realm, because it is as Aschea did. Thus is her will, and us, her followers.
Thus, Myllenoris declares Holy War on Ilburg for (allegedly) harboring witches and occultists.
High Lady Asta Hargrave announces her engagement to Lord Regulus ven Grimmore, sealing a lasting alliance between the two Kingdoms. Her speech places emphasis on the freedom and sovereignty of the Kingdom. Perhaps something for the Queen Mother herself to hear: they are no vassal state.
