House Argento: Outlaw
Posted by Belladonna on 06/24/17
Avrum:
House Pravus declares House Argento to be Outlaw. Their titles and their lands are stripped from them, their resources and coffers are siezed, and each of them is under arrest for treason, piracy, smuggling, or collusion with those of their family that are charged with the same. Since my father's murder, Pravus has been conducting an in-depth investigation with the help of many of our allies, and we have found that the rot goes to the bone. Marcus Argento led his family down the path of doom. They have been preying upon all trade in the Compact's waters, killed those of their vassals that did not cooperate with their goals, and have been having far darker dealings with the Compact's darkest enemies. Knowingly. Willingly.
House Pravus names Lady Lianne Pravus, who has been serving as the Voice of the Stormborn for some months, Marquessa of Nilanza. House Pravus further names Lady Nicia Pravus to Countess, and ennobles Duarte Amadeo to be Count. We have full faith that under the leadership of these three individuals, Nilanza can be brought back to prosperity and the light.
House Pravus does not ask Argento's military to fight against their lieges, we ask merely that they lay down their weapons when our forces come to claim the city. Any who serve the Argento who cooperate with my men, who lay down their weapons, will be pardoned in full for their part in these crimes. They will maintain their positions and their pay.
House Pravus does not ask those vassals not of Argento to fight against their lieges. We expect full cooperation, as we do with the military, but we understand the particular position that the Argento family has put their sworn men in, and will not punish those who could do no other if they wished to remain true in the eyes of the Gods. Lay down your weapons and you will be spared the same fate as the Argento family.
To the people of Nilanza: stand down. You will not be held responsible for the actions of your leaders, but you will be held accountable for those actions taken from this moment forward. We understand that this is a frightening time, but I assure you, we have no interest in upending the economy. We will take the necessary measures to ensure that you are well taken care of once we have gained full control of the city and the island. I ask you to look to the people of Setarco as assurance that we take care of our own.
All members of the Argento family have one week to surrender so that they may face my mercy. Those of the Argento family who do not choose to face my mercy will instead face my navy. Any who assist us in the capture of those Argento who are not already in Pravus custody will be rewarded appropriately.
By my word and my hand,
Duchess Belladonna Pravus, Duchess of Setarco
