A Public Letter On The Sulfur Ships Incident

[CrimsletMonarch]

In regards to the ships that carried Fristadvlom banners and seized the sulfur ships, House Fristadvlom denies involvement as these were not authorized nor possible with the current state of the Grand Barony of Upplanda.

The following is a list of reasons as to why these ships do not belong to House Fristadvlom and to dispel rumor and misconception:

⬦ The Grand Barony of Upplanda does not have naval access to the open waters, where the event took place.
⬦ The Grand Barony has no navy.
⬦ For the past few weeks, records will show House Fristadvlom had no focus on a navy, whether it be in its creation or maintenance.
⬦ House Fristadvlom has been kept at a defensive stance for the past few weeks.​

With these facts available, it is clear that these ships were not of House Fristadvlom, but of House Viduggla, who sought to obtain the materials without issue through usage of the banner from a house under the Empire.

Should the past reasons fail to rest these claims within those who read it, I ask of you to think of the logic in this matter. Would a house that were attempting to collude with a rebellion outright raise their flag? A house whose land is so close to Calemberg lands, that should Typhonus succeed in pushing back the rebellion, could crush its people and make their deaths 'right' retribution?

House Fristadvlom will not risk the lives of its people for this. The Grand Barony of Upplanda and its people have chosen to remain loyal to the Empire. However, we are no military power by any means. If we are to effectively aid the Empire, we wish to do so in such that our efforts will last and hold effect. This means ensuring that our land still stands and that we use the abilities it has in its disposal.

Grand Baroness of Upplanda
Matriarch of House Fristadvlom
