Thunderday 20th, Highsun, 1534
On this date the Stadtholder, Grand Pensionary, and Captain Zell van Zessen met and pleaded with a delegation of the Lord-Regency of Lünburg.
The topic of discussion was the formation of the New Imperial Regime and the longing for the Tzyrnowski family to return south.
If the Tzyrnowskis or any Attian may or may not return was of no discussion, as by the edict every Attian refugee since the Brigand Revolution may return to the Empire whenever they please. The topic of discussion however was the future of Lünburg, within Republic lands, and this led to some debate. What is attempted in this declaration is the position and stance of this government during these negotiations. As to reaffirm our friendly relations with the Tzyrnowskis here is a review of the discussion.
Firstly the Tzyrnowski family expressed their difficult position between the Republic and the Empire and states that should they not return to the empire, they be branded as traitors. Secondly they expressed their contributions to the Republic as a base to secede on friendly terms for the price of six thousand andros.
Having acquired Lünburg and Radymie in the aftermath of the Northern War against Hadriana the position of this government is doubtful on giving away Lünburg. The fact of the matter is that established in the Peace of Luminion, the Republic brokered a deal which essentially safed a doomed revolt against the Hadrian Brigands. As Janczyk swore to fight for his former liege, the Republic is reminded of the fact that this former liege also declared war on Raevendrecht. This created an awkward position, however to gain a friend in the form of House Tzyrnowski, and to gain Lünburg to create a defensible position against future brigand incursions the Republic agreed. The Republic then payed a sum of fifteen thousand andros on its already weary warchest to safely and soundly annex the territory of House Tzyrnowski. Additionally the Lord-Regents brother, Kazimierz received land in what is now called the Pomorze Estate. To further gain strength to our renewed bond with the House Tzyrnowski, for they had forsaken the Republic earlier, Janczyk was to keep his lordly powes within the tradition of his empire in a way that befit the Republic as well. In the period afterwards the Lord-Regent safeguarded the royal family of Hadriana, with overall Republic protection. Additionally the Lord-Regent raised a party and participated in our society gracefully.
Hence why losing the House Tzyrnowski was not our first priority. For we would rather have found a way to maintain House Tzyrnowski in the Republic, sadly they were adament. With all expenses discussed this government put a price on Lünburg of fifteen thousand andros. For its worth as the gateway to the north, and supplier of goods through its harbor and the river Venen was of such a greater value that six thousand andros would not be enough to compensate its loss and worth. Therefore both parties decided to part ways with House Tzyrnowski abandoning the castle of Lünburg within a fortnite (1 OOC week orso). The House Tzyrnowski then painted their concerns out Republic mining operations in the east of Radymie, to which the House was reminded that this operation was an aftermath of slow progress of mining in the area. The House Tzyrnowski however painted this as a landgrab from the Republic, to which this government disagrees, stating it a nescessity to better all people of the Republic.
This decree would explain the actions of this government in the eye of our national defense, and past actions this has sadly led to a split with the House Tzyrnowski. Them not abandoning their claim on Lünburg, and thusly creating animosity between our past relations has disappointed this government. For it made a compromise to let Janczyk's eldest son, Cedryk, maintain stewardship over Lünburg, as Janczyk went south and the Stadtholder offered his second born to be warded by the House Tzyrnowski. Sadly this compromise was rejected, and now a strain on the relation between the Republic and the House Tzyrnowski is realistic if not mended.
The Stadtholder and the Grand Pensionary's government wish well on the departing Tzyrnowski's, and may they once again return as friends.
We regret the outcome of the Tzyrnowski decision.
