"The Mauled Man", The banner of House Harhold, depicting their hounds attacking an enemy of the empire and unionism.
THE HOUSE HARHOLD
Has long abided the presence of heathens in our grand and most holy Empire so there might be peace in our realms during this terrible age of violence. In return, the pagan has infiltrated every corner of our nation, spreading their offensive cultures and breeding forth ailor who spit at the Spirit with their blasphemous ways and refusal to cast away their false gods. Yet I forgave them, I even allowed them to live a mere stone's throw away on the miserable island of Angle Veer along with their scheming lords. But still the pagan is not sated.
Notorious criminal Marvolo Ardelan confessed to me, the Lady Howlester and various guards on the night before his death that he and his thugs had been hired by a coalition of pagans led by the House Sorenvik to end my life in a most heinous manner. I received an arrow to my shoulder during a high profile meeting which many have witnessed to their horror, a gift from the Honorable Kaya Sorenvik no doubt.
Thankfully, I did not fall for this token of esteem, however this did not stop the plots, as Ardelan attested to. This is a crime I cannot and will not forgive.
Even after all our hostilities had ended the perfidious pagans saw it fit to court my rebellious allies to the south. Wishing to heat up the worryingly cold war between Anglia and Dragenthal, to bring more needless bloodshed after our lands had just recently been ravaged by the warring of rebel lords and screaming pagans. This too is a crime I cannot and will not forgive.
The House Harhold has sworn an oath to protect Anglia from those who wish to bring it harm, and we are men and women of our word. We'll have no more threats to our blessed lands, neither local nor foreign. They that sow the wind, shall reap the whirlwind.
We, the House Harhold, demands this of the pagan influencers and pagan houses of Regalia both common and noble.
- The surrender of all pagan relics, priests and scriptures within your spheres of influence, holdings and possessions.
- The destruction of all pagan sites of worship in the untamed and uncivilized North.
- The official conversion of all pagan lords, ladies and masters of common houses to the ONE TRUE FAITH.
- The atonement of Kaya Sorenvik for her crimes against Anglia, Dragenthal and the House Harhold.
- The peaceful occupation of the untamed and uncivilized North to ensure the safety of proselytizing Unionist reverends.
- War reparations from the pagan velheimer clans in the form of a tub of gold, silver and miscellaneous valuables from each landowning family. A befitting reimbursement to all those unionists affected by their crimes.
- The disbandment of all coalitions made against the House Harhold.
Untill the Pagan alliances of the Empire agree to my terms, I hereby declare our two realms at WAR.
Signed,
Lord Hengest Harhold,
Duke of Vlissinghelm,
Rightful Revain of Zuiderpoort and West Dragenthal,
Patron of Commonfolk,
And true patriot of the Empire.
((For the sake of fairness, a week's grace period 'till next sunday is in place. Please, por favor, bitte, respect this so I don't have to deal with needless OOC bickering.))
