DEATH OF A DESPRINCESS: MERITH WYRMWOOD FINALLY SLAIN
27 October
Just hours ago, Duke of Maraisburke, Grand Commander and Greywitch Commander Leufred du Brierüst emerged victorious from a battle that resulted in the fatality of none other than the ill-famed Desprincess, Merith Wyrmwood. The fight between the Duke and the Desprincess began late last night, with an attack on the du Brierüst countryside estate. A full room of the house was damaged, as well as rows of wine-grapes just weeks away from ripeness for a new generation of wine.
The fight continued with Duke du Brierüst tracking down Wyrmwood to the Lantern Tree, her assumed hideout since the forced infections of members of the nobility. Duke du Brierüst was joined by Greywitches Qalhata Sarnai and Alcuin Diederich for the final battle. With the assistance of Diederich, Duke du Brierüst was able to finally finish off Wyrmwood with a javelin to the back. Wyrmwood is stated in her last moments to have expressed regret of what the Sanguine curse turned her and warped her into. Duke du Brierüst escaped with a broken leg, a large gash on his forehead, and a bite taken out of his side, stretching from just below his ribs to his hip.
"What happened to Wyrmwood is regrettable," Duke du Brierüst said. "By all accounts, before her transition, she was like any other Altalar. Perhaps a bit prideful, a bit nationalist, but mundane. Most importantly, she was capable of being reasoned with. When the curse took hold, what was good about her died forever. It is the job of every good citizen to report Vampirism when it is discovered so that we, as guards and as protectors, can wipe the beastliness from them until the stain becomes permanent, like with Wyrmwood. But, the addicts, the curse supporters, the Jacobins. They lay on the wrong side of history. And given time and resource, we will wipe them from Aloria."
Wyrmwood is most famed for leading the Hierarchy coven, and committing innumerable acts of murder, attempted murder, assault, kidnapping, burglary, and forced infection of the Sanguine curse.
If you or anyone around you becomes infected with the Sanguine curse, it is in everyone's best interest to bring them straight to the Violet Order for curing and healing. As always, your safety as a citizen of the Empire is paramount, and the Violets are always here to help and protect you.
REFUSAL TO RECOGNIZE BARS VIDUGGLA FROM MARSHALRY, GUARD
26 October
26 October
A tense moment at the Secretariat meeting led to Duke of Norrland and Secretary of the Army Garth Viduggla to be barred, in no uncertain terms, from both the Marshalry Cabinet and the Violet Order, effective immediately. The meeting of the Secretariat was hosted at the Howlester Estate while the Imperial Palace undergoes renovations. In attendance were the Lord Chancellor, Secretary of the Whip, Secretary of the Army, Secretary of the Southmark, Secretary of the Faith, Secretary of the Commons, and all three Vice-Secretaries of the Magi. The Secretary of Finance was not in attendance.
In response to the legalization of atheism in the North, Duke Viduggla was truly put between a rock and a hard place on Saturday. Secretary of Faith Jared Kade pursued a line of questioning to the Duke related to the legalization, which was met with noncommittal or otherwise non-answers and a fair bit of staring. Secretary Kade then approached Duke Viduggla directly, asking him straight-on how he, himself, stood on the issue. Duke Viduggla then replied, "I do what is best for my people."
Dissatisfied by this response, Secretary Kade went further, asking the Duke what he truly thought about the legalization of atheism in his home of the North. In response, Duke Viduggla said, "I will not commit slights on my people when all they have done is stopped their prayers. They harm nobody. They don't push their agendas, because I had asked them to and they agreed. I am content. Are you?"
It is at this point that the Imperial Court Marshal and Lord Commander of the Violet Order William Howlester chose to speak. He asked the Duke Viduggla if his House had turned its back on both the Old Gods and Unionism, to which he garnered no response. He then commented, "The House Viduggla acknowledges no gods."
Duke Viduggla then turned to the Imperial Court Marshal, stating what may well have sealed his very fate: "The one thing I am not acknowledging here is you, Imperial Marshal." He was then promptly barred from any upcoming meetings of the Marshalry Cabinet, due to his refusal to recognize the Imperial Marshal as the leader of such. Duke Viduggla was also stripped of his rank of Guardsman within the Crown City Wardens chapter of the Violet Order and discharged. Before his selection as the Secretary of the Army, he was the Commander of the Crown City Wardens.
The Duke Viduggla has been given a period of three days to recant or otherwise state his views on religion in the North, or else be subject to the Secretary of the Faith. At the time of writing, one of these days has already gone by, leaving the Duke with a precious two days to state where he and the North he rules over stand in regards to their faith.
CERBERUS: THE THREE VICE-SECRETARIES OF THE MAGI
26 October
26 October
During the witching hour on Friday evening, leading into Saturday morning, His Imperial Holiness the Emperor Alexander I saw fit to bring in not one, but three Vice-Secretaries to fill the office of the Magi due to widely differing political views. Aeralaanys Rhylovhas voluntarily abdicated the office once confronted with the options for an appointment for removal with the Emperor, and applications opened for the position Thursday night.
The three selected for the Secretary's position are Duchess of Maraisburke, Valerie du Brierüst; Gilded Templars Captain and House Typhonus Court Mage Valarosta Baal'ial; and magical scholar Alexis Morgan. The three Vice-Secretaries are expected to work together, as each individual Vice-Secretary can process and legalize aberrants separately. However, if one Vice-Secretary steps out of line, the other two can move to accept or deny that action in its entirety. As well, if one Vice-Secretary is brought to the Emperor by the Whip and the inquest leads to firing, all three are fired at the same time.
Duchess du Brierüst is a Mage specializing in antimagic. She also has a past history of work with the Azure Order, the Divine Militia, the Crimson Inquisition, and the Greywitches of the Violet Order under her husband. Being born into House Ravenstad and a member of the nobility, we can expect Duchess du Brierüst to have a tight control on palatial dispensation especially, and serve as a more conservative figure of the trio.
Captain Baal'ial is a Mage who specializes in duality-themed magic. She serves tirelessly with the Gilded Templars of the Violet Order as a Captain, working underneath her wife. Captain Baal'ial also serves as the Court Mage of House Typhonus, a testament to her strength and skillful use of her magic, and is quite the fighting force on the front lines of the Dread War. Being a Manathar as well as a mage, we can most likely expect more liberal or moderate views from Captain Baal'ial, as well as legislation addressing magic on the front lines of the city's defenses.
Vice-Secretary Morgan is a woman yet unseen in the Holy City, and the Rose Record is at the time of writing unaware of her past history. We do know, however, that she is knowledgeable about all sorts of things pertaining to the arcane, and can expect her to be a "swing-vote" of sorts on the council of three.
It remains to be seen what actions the Vice-Secretaries of the Magi will take, but it is with high hopes that we look to the future.
