It is with a heavy heart that I, Baron Von J, loyal servant to the king must announce the death of our beloved monarch, King Karl Franz III. Our king managed to hold the desperate factions of Unkerlant together for over thirty years, and as he passes from this world without legitimate heir, I fear the kingdom will be torn asunder. Already forces from the leading contenders for the throne mobilize. Whomever can gain the majority of the Electorate votes will find themselves monarch, but at what cost to our tiny kingdom?
There is nothing so tragic as a civil war. Grand Duke Karl of Hetzenberg hopes any conflict will be limited and result in a just conclusion.
ReplyDeleteAll Hell will now officially commence to breaking loose.
ReplyDeletePity the peasantry, who bear the burden of the conflict.
I, Count Godfrey Bouillon, pledge myself and our retinue to the retention of peace along our borders. Should any vying power for the Unkerlant throne insist on our lands for any reason, we will take rightful and proper action.
