FROM THE DESK OF GARTH VIDUGGLA

Duke-Regent Elros Typhonus has claimed my action of halving the amount of conscripted forces from those in alliance Pacts purely on the decision on if he were to absolve the Pact between he and Houses von Drachenburg and Delmotte. I write out this proclamation to set intentions right. No threat was made to the House Typhonus on the account of Military Pact matters. The truth I will state, in the Regent's announcement, was the presence of discussion, though not lengthy.

The Regent of Calemberg called for a meeting, which I had accepted, to discuss the matter of conscription rates of his own tenpenny calemberger troops on the battlefield. His desire was for purely Calemberger troops be taken from the war effort entirely, to leave their comrades as other men from regions of the Archipelago continue onwards in their fight. Denying him outright, there was a provided option in halving or entirely removing troop presence from the Dread War Effort- To remove a member of his ongoing military pact, or leave it. His alternative: To absolve it entirely within a week should I grant only his troops a ship home by the next day. And so was left a final offer: A halving of all members of his pact, a premature return home for 4,000 troops as the latter 4,000 left on the war effort be sent home the following week, when said Pact is absolved and therefore the Houses be cleared from the Proclamation on Pacts standards I had written out.

The Regent denied. His intentions were only for Calemberg and his men. I will admit, he made me learn one thing- He did not view the men underneath even his allies' banners properly, and because of this, I made the decision to cut conscription across -all- houses, not particularly House Typhonus. He is the man to thank for the halved conscription with my views on his selfish desires.

And so, the so proclaimed lengthy discussion was cut short with Elros Typhonus walking out before I was finished. He lacked personal gain. And so, I deemed fit that the Typhonus troops are to be halved in numbers later than the rest of all Houses, as there is to be a battle in the Moors with a Calemberger General Reimar Typhonus soon. And for this battle, the General Typhonus had stated to me that 'every man underneath him is required' and the best make-up of troops for a Calemberger General has as many available men of Calemberg as possible. Troop count will be halved after Reimar Typhonus' battle, should he want so.

I wish to make one thing clear to Elros Typhonus.
If you wish to try and incite conflict with my House, do so directly. Do not hide behind false words.



Signed,
Garth Viduggla of Norrlan,

Duke of Norrlan
Secretary for the Army

"How dare he slander the good name of House Typhonus. North be damned for all I care," bellowed out Ser Harald.
 
"Typical Northern prattle. Perhaps Viduggla now realizes the gravity of his situation. I cannot think of why else he would choose to post such slanderous lies publicly." The Grand Elder of Calemberg grunted, tossing the missive to the side.

To the Duke of Norrlan,

Considering both the Duke Regent and Field General have far more pressing matters to attend to than correcting the excuses of a man backed into a corner, allow me to use my position as a valued advisor to all individuals addressed to set the matter straight for you and anyone else who would question our integrity.

After discussing the matter with my cousin, it is clear that the only reason why our military pact was brought into the discussion was due to your existing quarrels with our house and those that stand with us. Whilst you might claim that lessening our pact was the sole solution you could offer to the inquiry of altering the conscription numbers, it was rather easy for you to offer the same to all other houses without bringing their own pacts into question, whilst claiming that his request came from selfish motives.

You must truly be both a confident and ignorant man to state that House Typhonus does not care for the soldiers serving our empire on the frontlines, considering our continued support and focus on bringing this war to rest. The ongoing conversations between yourself and the Duke Regent have taken place with the intention of bringing the control of our men back into our own hands to ensure they are treated well and can serve their duty to the fullest extent. General Typhonus has proven himself to be fully dedicated to ending the threat before us, which is why his desire to maintain as many men as possible beneath his command is completely understandable.

On the other hand, you insist on placing the majority of your attention into internal affairs rather than the conflict you have been assigned to monitor, and would rather see the public pacts between houses that have opposed you in the past dismantled before showing your worth as a War Secretary. It is clear that all those that have spoken up regarding your mishandling of troop numbers are far more dedicated to the war effort than you have proven so far, not to mention your delay to send your own troops to join the frontlines in the past.

I'll remind yourself and those reading that my kin are too busy paying the soldiers that you insist on playing politics with and preparing for the upcoming battle to respond themselves. If you'd prefer, I'd be willing to instead suggest why you've been a lacklustre War Secretary so far in person on behalf of House Typhonus and the loyal houses and soldiers of the Empire, and I'm sure there's many that would join me on the occasion that you showed your face at the palace to receive criticism.

Signed,

Klaus Typhonus
Court Palatine
Scout & Soldier of the Empire​
 
Thea Rote would nod affirmatively at the Viduggla's words. A bread and jam basket would be sent his way baring the Rote seal.
 
Merdoc Slumberwood would arrange for a basket of fruit(imported from the Duchy of Narlas), wine, and other luxuries to be sent to the Typhonus estate bearing the message "To better celebrate the intellect of Ser Klaus Typhonus." and the Slumberwood family seal.
 
Deo! dei Termini would send both of them a neat picture of himself painted giving a thumbs up and smiling widely, upon the painting it would say, "Are you doing your part?!"
Truly a masterpiece of communications brought to both sides from the love of House dei Termini.

"Ew. Gross, throw that shit in the garbage." Louis said to his Viridian comrade upon seeing the painting of Deo.

@Wumpatron
The Paladin would reply to his peer, "If this man ever steps up to me again I'll cast him down the nearest well." He would then burn the portrait as he was greatly offended by the insinuation. "Disgusting pervert," would be the final words to escape his lips amongst the other knights back at their headquarters.
