HerrVonAdmiral
Hertog van de Zuidelijke Hinterlanden
[!] A message was nailed to the notice boards and delivered to the nation leaders of Luminion, Mitrona, Al Khadir, Bergwood, Zadh-Nadrozz and Prezza L'Aquila bearing the crest of the Van Leuveren Family, now with a White Lion [!]
My fellow country men, Hinterlanders, long have we waited for a new light and long have I yearned to answer the call of my people.
My name is Silas Moetiour- Van Leuveren, Son of Arndil Moetiour and Isabella van Leuveren, Prince of Catamora and Stadtholder of the Hinterlands.
My people, the weariness of the Second Hadrian Civil War has weakened our people who once again were the pawn of the greater Empires. With the death of my first uncle, the previous Stadtholder Arnoud van Leuveren it is now up to me to restore a home to our people, who have been neglected for too long. We are Hinterlanders, a proud people and our lineage goes back to the Age of Kings when the once scattered Tribes of the Hinterlands fought the Kingdom of Hadriana in the 90 years war. Once we ruled ourselves, proudly from the lands around Bergwoude to the former capital of Wakkerdam, now known as Prezza L'Aquila. During the Second Hadrian Civil War we were loyal to the King, Roderick Withmond, but our people were punished for it. With no land to call our home we have all but scattered and exiled ourselves to all the corners of Eden, but this day we shall reunite again. When our former colony of Catamora was annnihilated by voidal demons the High Elves of Luminion saved me from certain death. But do not conern yourself, my loyalty has always been to my people, the people of the Hinterlands. Therefore after my uncle Lord Johan van Leuveren raised again the Orange banners of our proud and ancient House wand rode to Luminion to plead for aid, the Luminous Kingdom answered. Together during the year of 1528 we constructed a mighty new home for our people in the Highlands (Hooghlands) of Magna Attia. There we know assemble and reunite our people to call into being the SECOND REPUBLIC.
My People I invite all of you to venture North and re-unite with our people. Here we have raised a mighty castle but still require the hands of strong Hinterlanders and adventurers to aid us in making this harsh and cold environment our own. Here we call forth the Second Republic and reinstate the powers of the Staten Generaal (Estates General). In the former Hinterlands we knew no king, but were ruled by the people, for the people under the protection of the Stadthouders, who's legacy the Van Leuveren family still carries. Therefore our lands know no serfdom, for everyone who joins us is regarded as a Citizen with an equal vote in the Estates General.
Though we venture on a new adventure we call upon all Hinterlanders and daring folks of Eden to join us in our endeavour of making the North our home. It is a cold climate, it is a harsh climate, but we are strong and most of all we are free. Come home to us and together we shall overcome, and return our rightful place as a free people of Eden.
We invite all to come to the Castle of Raevendrecht, which lies north of the riverfork in Magna-Attia, the castle lies on the location where the once feared Raven Rider was defeated.
AN INVITATION
To the Realms of Eden we bear no ill will but to live in freedom. Therefore we invite representatives of all major nations of Eden to bear witness to the creation of our new free state. We kindly invite all the former families of the North, namely the House Tzyrnowski and House Rovelt to witness our establishment. In addition we would one representative of the Hadrian Empire as a gesture of no ill will after relations between our peoples were astranged after the collapse of the Withmond Dynasty, if uncomfortable we would welcome two guardians for your peoples, but fear not as we are still a people of the Dictus and to lay harm on a fellow Makerist is a sin. Foremostly we would also invite a great assembly of the Empire of Al-Khadir, long has your empire been prosperous in the south and we would seek aid and clarity as to what happened to my mother Isabella van Leuveren and her people who ventured to the failed colony of Catamora, which lies within your zone of controll. We would also kindly invite the Thriumvirate of the Denur, who were also exiled from their homeland. As a fellow exiled people we understand your struggle, and our Freestate lies in the shadow of your once great mountain, for which we offer our aid and assistance. Lastly, but not least we would welcome the Kingdom of Luminion and their neighbours Mitrona for celebrations as they more than anyone has aided and trusted the people of the Hinterlands.
We invite all of the abovementioned to participate in festivities at the beginning of Highbloom (November 14th 21:00 CET+1/ UTC-8)
