Coronation of Baldwin I, 1000 AT
Treachery!
On the day of the coronation, our nation has suffered a great betrayal at the hands of the House d’Alsaion! Many citizens were present to experience the unanticipated deceit brought upon by this house of heathens that brought their wickedness to light. Few of the citizens of Dunnsgate have joined the traitors against the true king, Baldwin I Roth Clements. Having assaulted a holy church and the ears of all those present; the d’Alsaion family’s levyman, Jon de Venerra, had the audacity to refer to the holy Clements family as a band of “murderers and rapists”. In doing so, he forget to mention the many charities the family has completed since these crimes of Godfrey that occurred over 500 years ago, of which the family has long acknowledged. If this were not enough, the hypocritical fools were raring to commit the exact same crimes they accuse the Clements family of, by murdering the new king, the Clements family, the High Pontiff, and many loyalists present. Drawing swords, a colluder loudly exclaimed “Bend the knee, and your tyranny will not be punished by death,” a statement that only further brought the situation to violence. Seeing the situation escalate further towards combat, the holy and loyal Baldwin I Roth Clements told these rowdy vandals to “Hold your weapons, no blood shall be split in the house of the One!” Seeing that the criminals did not comply with this respectful order, the newly crowned king, Baldwin I Roth Clements, found that he had no choice left. Forced to return such hateful actions, the Clements loyalists were able to run the cowards off without staining the holy house of the One with bloodshed. Now they gather an army of miscreants and hooligans outside our very city.
To ensure the rightful king, chosen by the One, can maintain his lawful and proper benevolent rule over our lands, we ask that the true worshipers of the One -- our fellow citizens of Dunnsgate and Oseria -- rise en masse, and fight for our true king and our kingdom!
