The County of House Stahlben

Posted by Cirroch on 06/16/18
As of 1/10/1009 AR Magnus Stahlben of Bonespire is granted the title of Count and the lands immediately surrounding Bonespire will be part of his county.

Dark times are ahead of The Compact. Though we have defeated enemies in The Silent War and The War of The Pirate King there are still many powerful forces out there who would see The Compact's demise. With these threats in mind I have brought the tribe of Stahlben into The Compact as a new county in vassalship to Sanna.

In addition to swearing fealty to Sanna and The Compact Magnus is wed to Paige Stonefield, now Countess Paige Stahlben. I understand this is unorthodox and against tradition, and why these traditions are in place, though with the severity of the threats we will face I have decided this was all a necessary course of action. I do not ask for approval, only understanding, and that my fellow peers give House Stahlben the chance to prove themselves.

--- Halfshav Stance (from Khanne) ---
House Halfshav supports their vassals, House Sanna, in their decision. We expect House Stahlben will prove themselves to be loyal additions to the Compact.

--- Navegant Stance (from Arcelia) ---
A bold move to be certain but unorthodox actions can be necessary at times. Navegant wishes Stahlben and its chain of fealty the best of luck.

--- Amadeo Stance (from Duarte) ---
I have no idea who they are but I'm sure the time to prove one's self is after ennoblement and not before. So congrats.

--- Redrain Stance (from Gwenna) ---
House Redrain supports House Sanna and welcomes House Stahlben into the fold, as well as congratulates the newly wedded couple.

--- Inverno Stance (from Donato) ---
House Inverno welcomes House Stahlben among the ranks of the civilized, though remarks that seeking a political alliance may have been a more prudent first step in this new venture.

--- Crovane Stance (from Asger) ---
House Crovane recognizes neither Stahlben nor the upstart plot to install Valardin commoners as nobility in the north as legitimate. More over we condemn Sanna for the lack of discretion and this attempt.

--- Ashford Stance (from Harlan) ---
This sends ... an interesting, and possibly dangerous message. That said, the Marquis knows what is best for his lands. May this prove to have an auspicious outcome.

--- Leary Stance (from Fairen) ---
House Leary expresses... Reluctance that this is not some ill conceived violation of tradition.

--- Nightgold Stance (from Lydia) ---
People should be judged on acts. Nobles doubly so. I wish nothing but prosperity and peace for Bonespire, wisdom and prudence for Magnus Stahlben as its Marquess, and happiness for the new couple.
