A Denunciation Of House Vuhnreniirn

[Halsi]

FROM THE DESKS OF THE MASTER AND MISTRESS OF THE HALLS
HIS GRACE, FABIEN DU PONCAIRE, DUKE OF MARAIS
HER LADYSHIP, ROWENA BANCROFT, COUNTESS OF KAARTE
​

In light of House Vuhnreniirn's impromptu party hosted at the same time of the Imperial Gala, we find ourselves compelled as the Master and Mistress of the Halls to address the situation and respond to the Marquis-Elector accordingly.

We firmly denounce House Vuhnreniirn for trying to incongruously upstage the Crown, while also criticising and stressing the Marquis-Elector's poor conduct by shamelessly rivaling an invite so graciously extended by the Imperial Court. To decline an invitation warrants no point of concern, however to host a competing gala that would purposely conflict with an Imperial event should be regarded as a universal insult not only to its hosts, but concurrently to His Imperial Holiness, the esteemed College of Princes and the entirety of the Imperial family.

For little over a month, my darling reader, us both have diligently ensured that we performed well to the Emperor's expectations. We have been given the hospitality to open the Imperial Palace by the divine grace of His Imperial Holiness, a space with great halls of light that will follow the sunrise and shine out to all corners of Aloria, so they might all see the glory of our Empire. A space that is open to the entirety of the peerage, however with the necessary precautions set to protect the Emperor and the Imperial Court from the forces of the Occult. The Marquis-Elector, like the rest of the peerage, should comprehend the need for the Palace's aberrant detection gates, and should most certainly understand the necessity of Occult registration within the Imperial Court. If not, we would most certainly find fault in the Marquis' propriety even further.

However neither of us have received word or notice from the Marquis-Elector regarding the registration of his Lordship's Silvenism and affiliation to the Occult. It baffles us beyond compare how the Marquis-Elector would purposely ignore the several meeting points we have opened to conduct interviews, including the one organised moments prior to the start of the gala, only to use it as a feeble excuse to arrange an impromptu party of his own. It makes us question the Marquis' intentions, whether this was just a desperate call for entertainment and company in his lonely estate, or a malicious stratagem of vindictive vitriol to undermine our success.

It is our sovereign duty to His Imperial Holiness as the Master and Mistress of the Halls to enforce proper behaviour within the peerage, and criticise faults in propriety whenever it does concur. We are of the opinion that the Marquis-Elector's actions of yestereve were tasteless, insulting and impudent in all regards. We sincerely hope the Marquis will find reason in this public denunciation, and that he will take the right accountability for his wrongs towards the Imperial Crown.

Signed and officiated by their seal,

Duke of Marais
Master of the Halls
Foreign Consul of the West


Countess of Kaarte
Mistress of the Halls​

I pray this finds the Master and Mistress of the Halls well,

I shall keep this point brief as I do not see a reason to drag on with anything beyond just a mere explanation. While an invitation was extended, and was graciously accepted by my family, I myself was unable to attend in person due to not having the proper clearances in place. I am unsure what the need to elaborate on why such checks on the Occult are necessary as I both understand and agree with it, which is why I did not seek to press it further by showing up at the door and forcing a decision upon the gracious hosts. To do such would be improper and insulting to the peace created.

Were there times to be interviewed on my condition? Yes. Did they fit within the framing of my own schedule? No. Why it is assumed that I ignored these opportunities I do not know. It is our position as the nobility to share the Emperors love and peace to all people beneath the Crown. If I was to not be able to attend the Palace then I would create an environment to engage with those who would not find a seat at the Palace the same evening. I do not consider this to be an upstaging of the Crown, but an expression of the same generosity to those who lack in the social graces to be able to experience an equal love from the Emperor in their own position. I apologize if the Master and Mistress of the Halls have found offence in this, but I digress from the point.

My intentions have been and remain pure to the nature of the Imperial Palace and my position beneath the Crown. I spent an evening entertaining those who are less fortunate than us of the nobility and those who would not be allowed into the Palace as their upbringing is beneath the standards and conduces that are expected of any such visitors to the Imperial Palace.

I wish the Master and Mistress of the Halls continued success in their endeavors.

Glory to the Empire
Reynaud Vuhnreniirn
Marquis-Elector of Ulmaanisla

OOC: I do want to preface this that I work irl and so I can't show up to spontaneous checks, even ones put up in response to posts I make on Discord

A copy of a certain notice is pinned next to the Marquis-Elector's well-formatted response, as to properly compare the two announcements. Harlow Ketch, the perpetrator of such an action, makes no attempts to hide it.​
