No Stone Unturned

Posted by Aedric on 10/05/21
Esteemed peers,

I write to you now regarding a tragedy which has recently befallen New Hope and House Blackshore. The flotilla of Skye Blackshore, our Baroness, dispatched to the Darkwater Deeps in pursuit of pirates flying the colors of the defeated Skal'daja, was consumed by the unexpected emergence of a vortex. Though search and rescue efforts are presently underway, there exists no evidence of her flagship having escaped the whirlpool's downdraft. After convening a meeting with her family and most trusted advisors, it has unanimously been decided that I will be named Baron in my niece's absence. Continuity of governance and political stability are of paramount significance to the people of New Hope and Blackshore's holdings and, as such, the transition of leadership is to begin immediately. To assist me in my new duties, I hereby appoint Lords Dycard and Cornelius Blackshore as my Voices and entrust that they will carry out their oaths in manners befitting of our institutions.

Though these may be uncertain times, House Blackshore remains committed to its military and economic obligations. Those members of the Compact willing to assist us in wreaking havoc upon those responsible for Skye's disappearance and demise shall be welcomed as allies and offered seats at our tables. Make no mistake: there is no abyssal chasm or trench deep enough to conceal them, no harbor bold enough to offer them shelter, and no gust of wind strong enough to permit their ships to escape us. As was the fate of Great Beast felled by our ancestors, so too shall their blood stain the sands of our shores.

Aedric Blackshore
Baron of New Hope

There will be no safe harbor to be found in Ischia and her surrounding waters will be combed for any information leading to the discovery of those responsible. House Seraceni remains vigilant and ready to bloody blades to help House Blackshore soak it's shores once again.

--- Redreef Stance via Ember ---
House Redreef stands with House Blackshore. House Blackshore's enemies are House Redreef's enemies, and like House Redreef's enemies, they shall receive no quarter.

--- Tessere Stance via Piccola ---
The villainy we are taught should be repaid in kind, but our teachings shall be harder and better. House Tessere shall lend its aid for any such object lessons.
