December 3rd - A huge battle is fought between Suville and the Carelian/Taran Alliance in Lurgrod. Suville took the day. |
This prior year, a great many things happened. Sadly, I was only privy to a short few of them, as I joined the great realm of Minas Leon in early August. But what a mighty year it was, nonetheless, and one does not need to have experienced those events firsthand to see evidence of them around the realm. First and foremost, simply look at the realm! Minas Leon is the product of numerous expansions- we stretch a span that once held four separate nations, and have exceeded even Minas Ithil if my memory serves correct in land. That we were able to do this within a single year is a testament to the greatness of our realm, the manifestation of our destiny in the politics of Atamara. While other realms, such as those infested by the treacherous and libelous Himouras (as a completely random and unintended example), contract and hemorrhage themselves like a dying animal, Minas Leon has brought the wealth and customs of civilization to the tundra wastes of the North, to the pastoral plains of the South. We've brought our sharp steel against the heads of the the Silnarian horde, meting out swift Noble justice to the non-realm which threatens both the integrity and the honor of our continent. In only four months I was capable of seeing this; one can only imagine how glorious our realm must be perceived by those who have been with her since the very beginning. And to whom do we owe the glorious light of victory? Whose patronage might we find as the source of our rightful pedestal in history? I can think of no answer other than his royal highness, our King Raoul De La Fere. When the clarion call of the feudal horn went up in Minas Ithil, our future King -the Duke of Leohampton at the time- found himself betrayed by the realm he had loyally served and loved. But did he capitulate? No! Did he abandon his subjects as his King and Realm and abandoned him? No! Instead, our King, in a move which best illustrates the wise and illustrious rule which was to follow, ceded from the realm he found unrecognizable and founded a separate realm, a realm based upon the conviction of a contract between Lord and Subject. A conviction in basic feudal sense. A conviction in the need for a Ruler to not only rule but to serve as a protector. It was this conviction which shown like a beacon of hope across the continent of Atamara. It was this conviction which thrust forward like a lit torch out of the dark cavern which was Minas Ithil and lit the way to glory. Yes, one year later, our first whole year as a realm, the results of his wisdom and judgement lie about us. We have expanded and grown so large that we are almost devoid of Knights, as there is a demesne for nearly every noble in the realm. We stand on the brink of adding yet another city to our already bursting realm! Glory, my fellow nobles. Glory and Honor to our realm, and, with it, the man who gave birth to it. I ask that in your reflections of the past year, you ensure some time to give homage to the man through which it was all possible. Long Live King Raoul De La Fere, and Long Live the Heritage of His Rule: Minas Leon!!! |
