Henri IX "The Red Phoenix" of Luxembourg, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, aged forty
The Phoenix seems to ever rise and shine brighter. That is the theme of the rule of Henri IX of Luxembourg, Emperor of Rome since his ascension from the ruins of Heidelberg a decade ago.
He has brought the realm peace and prosperity, martial prowess and most of all stability.
To him the ascenscion of his son as his heir apparent and king of the Romans seemed only natural the fulfillment of destiny for his dynasty. And for that he had been willing to do all necessary even making a pact with the Bohemian devils themselves.
Yet those that would call themselves his family have shown their true colours going back on pacts made, opening up a realm maintained only by his personal glory to the violence that had already taken so much from Henri.
He knew, this time was the deciding one. From all else he could return. But this was the moment where it would all be decided. Thus he wasted no time, as he put his army to march northwards.
He knew he had only a few months to march before winter fell, so fast had events spiraled out of control after the Crisis of Frankfurt, thus he forced his army into a hasty march, exhausting almost all lands he marched through of any food left after the famine. While this kept his army well fed this meant that if Henri wished to march back south he would have to risk starving his forces. (The County of Jülich is now in IMMINENT COLLAPSE ).
As Henry marched, he followed his usual routine of great glamour. While this time urgency forbade him from holding tourneys, he more than compensated for with the sending of glorious letters to all local rulers as he passed demanding allegiance and the sending of aid and overawing many of his foes before he even came near.
And indeed when Henri arrived at the Rhine he already received news of the battle of the Ruhr.
Pleased with his allies success (as he saw that engagement) he seized Düsseldorf, which did not dare resist him.
Yet here his attempt at a daring dash came at a halt.
For next was a siege of Cologne one of the largest cities of the Empire.
Henri offered the city again and again safety from looting as the months ticked by and Theobald of Bar held out. Yet he knew he had little hope of survival as the surrounding region had all but wholly declared for Henri. Worse, the city of Cologne ever prone to rebel against the authority of the Archbishop started to make their own seperate peace talks with the Emperor.
Faced with the possibility of seeing his seat fall as that of Mainz did, Theobald finally relented letting the Emperor on the 2nd February of 1314 into the city. Yet that had been enough.
For now Henri was trapped here, having to wait and see as news from all across the Empire came in.
As for news from his personal holdings, they were quite mixed as in both Limburg and Loon most of the Ducal army assembled, but with the inaction of the Count of Flanders the arrival of their new large mercenary host had been delayed.
In Thuringia meanwhile in Erfurt a sizeable army assembled, yet many peasants from the eastern parts of the Duchy, still loyal to the Ludowingers and with some remnants of the Thieves Movement among them did not come.
Yet grimest were the news that came from Paris.
His son Henri, the rightful king of the Romans, in a desperate bid to cement the Luxembourg claim to the Palatine had in the last year hastily wed his Habsburg bride.
This was rewarded with a healthy young boy.
Yet it also was rewarded with his already sickly mother becoming permanently barren.
The Luxembourgers, who had ever increased their lands through the marriage to great heiresses, now were stuck at a dead end, as their heir was married to a woman unable to birth him children, but any divorce or anullment would risk the legitimacy of the only Luxembourg heir to an electorate.
This war had only just begun.

The Neutral Eminence
Henri of Nassau, Archbishop of Trier, aged sixty-five
Where temporal chroniclers attribute the great peace of the past ten years to Henry or Wenceslaus, the chroniclers of the church are full of praise for the vital part Henri of Nassau played in the past years. Originally elected as a Luxembourg partisan he took great care to exercise his seniority and position as first elector to rein in his younger and more hotheaded colleagues, ensuring that neither incited instability.
Now with civil war having broken out openly Henri has chosen to declare himself neutral in the conflict, both vaguely endorsing Stephen's rebellion while also maintaining the legality of the Frankfurt election.
For now Trier has resigned himself to use the growing instability in the Empire to promote his own personal interests, massing his forces near the border with Nassau, ready to enforce his claims to overlordship.

The City and the Church
Theobald of Bar, Archbishop of Cologne, aged forty-five
Theobald of Bar is a conflicted young man. A pragmatist at heart, he after being elected as a Luxembourg supporter he had long tried to arrange the claims of the Archbishopric with its claims on the Luxembourg ally Saxony.
With Stephen's rebellion he thought that the time had come to free himself of such constrictions declaring for the Premyslid claimant.
Yet it was too late, as the Phoenix made a fast dash to the Rhine putting Cologne under siege.
With his own family declaring for Luxembourg, Henri offering favourable terms and his own city threatening revolt, Theobald relented, letting the Emperor in.
Yet his short moment of independent action had already had after effects as Arnsberg and Bilstein Cologne vassals, had declared for Stephen too and with Rudolf of Saxony occupying their lands seemed set to remain loyal to the Premyslids for now.
Worse Cologne had so far failed to raise any actual army, making itself for now mostly a tax and food base for Luxembourg armies with little ability to contribute themselves.

The Counts Palatine of Tübingen are theoretically the highest ranked family in Swabia, having as Palatine the duty to uphold the law of the Emperor in the duchy, standing above their peers. How succesful they have been in that role can be seen with the death of Count Rudolf's uncle Hugo at the hand of Count Frederic VI Zollern during one of the many border raids that have been left ignored during Emperor Dietrichs war in Italy along with the later ascencion of their Zollern archrivals during the reign of Emperor Otto VIII. Worse yet, his elder brother Dietrich died barely a day after Otto VIII, having like many young rulers of the region followed the Welf south to Italy in search of riches, glory and imperial favour. Thus the lands and titles of the family have fallen on Rudolf, a capable and boorish warrior if there ever was one. Thus while his host is well maintained and battle ready he has been unable to inspire much enthusiasm among his allies to back his declaration for Henri de Luxembourg, leading most emberassingly the family of his own wife to announce their erstwhile neutrality. Still as one of the most renowned warriors of the region and a man who favours the warhammer Henri has little doubt that soon Swabia will be united in their backing of the true Emperor.

One could think that Heinrich von Berge a man his fifties, ruling the least impressive Margraviate of the Empire, with a quick, but disastruously female heir would not involve himself in the errupting civil war, instead preferring to tend to his fields in times of famine. One would be wrong. For Heinrich remembers that it was the lance of his mainline cousin Heinrich that slew his son and heir Heinrich but five years back. Thus, already deeply involved through family ties in the Luxembourgian faction he has declared himself for the Phoenix, already marching towards Ulm to make the crossing into the active warzone of Swabia. This has however also created a bit of a political quagmire as his son-in-law, the count of Heilbronn has declared for the Premyslids, putting the already complicated question of the succession to the poor, but prestigious title of Margrave into further question.

Kinslayer they call him. Oathbreaker they call him. A man of spiteful pride since birth. Yet Heinrich is not one who cares for the prattling of lesser men. His lance slipped by the hand of god in that tourney five years back as any man knows is want to happen. The Phoenix is a tyrant as the proclamations of the Premyslids and the slaughter of the Habsburgs make clear. And his families the Nellenburgs and Heiligenbergs have already declared for the rightful king of the Romans, thus what choice does the head of House Berge have but to join them? Let his lesser cousins fight for the roasted chicken if they want. Let them waste their power fighting other nobles as fools would, at a time when the cities of southern Swabia, encouraged by the damned French Emperor, become ever more proud and impetuous. Heinrich knows which side he chose. And he knows that only if all lands of House Berge are united can his family hope to see the future in these ever tumultuous times.

Hagen II is named for a hero of old, a loyal warrior who commited most grevious crimes in service of his king and patron. And now it seems that a time has come where he will have to live up to that name. His cousin, Heinrich of Helfenstein was over a decade ago relieved of his titles by the damned northerner Otto Welf for using his most holy right to feud with the treacherous Zollerns. Since then Heinrich and his bastard son have been guests at his court. With his marriage to the Würtemberg family Hagen thus did not need to ponder long which side to support in this war, throwing his lot in with Luxembourg. As winter falls he is already massing his troops preparing to raid into the lands to the west to recapture them for his dear cousin. With the bastard leading the very front of the army.

Egino "The Elder" is the old patriarch of the Urach family clan. While the head of the most minor of the three Urach branches, he outranks his cousins in riches, age and political cunning. While it would be wrong to think that the other two defer to him on decisions (indeed Rudolf of Tübingen once called the Urach clan a "three headed Cerberus with a holy snake for a tail") it is true that where Egino the younger wars and Heinrich talks, Egino the Elder plots. Thus few doubt who the engineer of the Urachs ongoing neutrality in the warring is. After all little gain and many enemies can be made in these early stages of fighting, especially for a family as far flung, as close to erradication and with so many family ties to the various factions. Thus patience is the virtue of the day. Yet many ask how long that will hold. After all Egino is growing old. And his hot headed heir is madly in love with his new Zollern wife.

Heinrich is the young patriarch of the Urach family. The head of the middle of the three Urach branches he outranks his cousins in powerful friends, the size of his domain and youthful energy. While it would be wrong to think that the other two defer to him on decisions (indeed Frederic of Zollern once called the Urach clan "A hydra in need of a Herakles to tame her") it is true that where the elder Egino plots and the younger wars, it is Heinrich who talks. Thus few doubt who the engineer of the Urach's ongoing neutrality in the warring is. After all it is Heinrich's uncle the bishop, who closed the crossing of Speyer to all war factions and it is Heinrich, sitting on the crossroads between east and west in central Swabia, who stands to lose the most from unleashed violence. Thus patience is the virtue of the day. After all the family is hurting with the survival of many of its branches in question. And where others are plagued by dead or no births, Heinrich has been blessed so far with two healthy children. They are regrettably too female for his tastes, but he is still young and has time. His patience will surely pay off.

The situation of the Grüningen branch of House Würtemberg is illustrative how familiar bonds can force a ruler into a intennable position. Cousin to the Luxembourg supporting main branch and likely heir to the Margraviate of Burgau Count Harmann III was quick to declare for the Phoenix. Yet this has put them him in a strategic positon where he will largely depend on his allies elsewhere to save them from the wrath of Premyslid partisans. With his keep lying on the northern shore of the Donau they are surrounded by Zollern, Berge and Sigmaringen foes, with their only the cities of souther Swabia and his uncle the Bishop of Konstanz on the far side of the great river close enough to send any sort of assistance to him. With only a blind girl as his heiress it is hence likely that the Grünbergs will focus on the defense of their personal lands, holding out until some form of aid reaches them.

Hans of Heiligenberg is a supremely cautious man. A count by name he is closer to the power of a Herr, ruling a mere keep and the surrounding lands. With his key position between the Kyberg and Zollern lands it is hence no great surprise that he would declare for the Premyslid cause, throwing his lot in with the cause most likely to gain him a lands from the south Swabian cities in his region and confirm his inheritance of the Urach lands should his brother-in-law Egino pass, finally giving him lands worthy of his title of Count. Yet this caution makes him also a fickle ally, as he is so far restricting his activities to securing the road to Switzerland and protecting his keep, making it likely that should the wind turn that so will his cloak.

The scion of the forgotten fourth branch of the Zollern dynasty Albrecht III and his ancestors have spend their lives ruling over a minor County at the border of the mainline cousins, marrying minor lordlings while the main family acquired ever more prestigious lands and matches. Still despite years of feuding and jealousy he has decided to join the main family in declaring for the Premyslids, likely to ensure his sons inheritance of Triberg along with securing his positioning in line for the many Urach lands that he would have claims to should his relations there die without heirs. Still he remains cousin to the House of Tübingen and has a long list of grievances between himself and his cousins, making Frederic VI ever distrustful of his loyalties.

Louis of Nördlingen is a singular representative of what it means to be a decorated tourney knight: Gifted with arms, good looking, noble to the core and entirely unsuited to actually govern a realm. Coming to rule his county in his teen has spent the last decade traveling Christendom to test his might against the best lances of France, Italy and the Empire, leaving his fields unattended and his finances in disarray. Soon after the outbreak of war, bound by his noble marriage to the Reichserbmarshall of House Pappenheim he declared openly for the Phoenix, adding his strength to those nobes on the western Bavarian border who would seek to oppose a Wittelsbach invasion of Swabia. This had however unexpected consequences as tactless and naive as he was he demanded the Imperial city of Nördlingen put their coffers and men at his disposal, as his own seat was inside her walls. Not wanting to be left as destitute as the county has been made by Ludwig the city instead closed her gates to him and seized all his property within her walls, being one of the few Imperial cities to openly declare for the Premyslid cause. Ludwig has hence been forced to leave a nagging thorn on his northern border as he marches his troops to gather near the Donau, readying for what he calls "the most glorious of all tournaments".

Ulrich II has spend a life in the shadows. The posthumous son of Ulrich I he has spent his entire life being ignored by his regent mother, who showered all her attention on his elder brother Heinrich II, Count of Berge. Having to make due with the minor lands of Schelklingen Ulrich almost immediately after he became a man started to feud with his elder brother, seeking to gain his fair share of the Berge inheritance. This continued even after his brother was killed in Italy, now against his nephew of the same name, who to little surprise from Ulrich soon later proved himself a damned kinslayer when his lance slew their Burgau cousin. With Ulrichs marriage into the Würtemberg family it was thus little surprise that he would declare for the Phoenix soon after the election in Frankfurt, already preparing his small keep for the coming siege by the Zollerns and his treacherous nephew. However while true to his nature this bold declaration is seen as suicidal by many, as his lands are little more than a small dot on the road to Ulm, surrounded by Premyslid partisans, sure to be swept aside very soon by the armies of Zollern.

House Sulz is among the wealthiest families of western Swabia, their name coming from their control of the salt trade between the Rhine and Switzerland, a monopoly which they jealously guard against any who would threaten it. While this has brought many riches to the family over the decades it has also lead to a somewhat singular mentality for them, seeing the continued openness of the trade routes as vital to their continued prosperity. This has created a strange situation as in times of famine salt should be a valuable resource to be sold, but now either sits unsellable in their storages or does not even arrive as traders are fearful of raids from the various war parties. The aged count Hermann IV is not amused, raising his banners not to declare for any one side, but to "wage feud against all who would threaten the prosperity of House Sulz". Already his young sons Hermann and Hans have started raids on the lands of both Zollern and Tübingen in retribution for them closing their roads to foreign traders, seeking to pressure them into opening the lanes of trade once more. This stance of aggressive neutrality has not earned the Sulzes many friends, but is unlikely they care determined as they are not to let something minor like a breakdown of imperial order interfere with their stream of income.

Egino "The Younger" is the middle patriarch of the Urach family clan. The head of the primary of the three Urach branches, he outranks his cousins in prestige, legal position and military ability. While it would be wrong to think that the other two defer to him on decisions (indeed Hermann of Baden once called the Urach family a "three saints darned nails up my ass") it is true that where Egino the Elder plots and Heinrich talks, Egino the Younger wars. Thus few doubt who the engineer of the Urachs ongoing neutrality in the warring is. After all lying between the warring factions of Zollern and Tübingen and through decades of feuding being painfully aware of their abilities it would be foolish for the County of Urach to enter the fighting on any one side, especially with Egino, thanks to his infertile wife, lacking any heirs of his own blood to succeed to his titles. Thus patience is the virtue of the day. Yet many ask how long that will hold. After all Egino and his wife are growing old. And there is no telling if he may not soon be a widower ready to wed once more to ensure the survival of his family.

The House of Würtemberg is among the small circle of Swabian families who can be considered truly prestigious and dominant beyond the Duchy itself. Descending either from the old Salian or Luxembourgian dynasty they have for almost three hundred years made their home around the city of Stuttgart, warring off and on with the nearby Baden, Tübingen and Zollern families. Their true golden era started following the fall of the Staufian family as they used the confusion in the region to extend their lands into those formerly held by the Vaihingen and Calw families as well as acquiring the County of Grüningen for their minor branch. These days they rule almost uncontested over the Neckar river controlling its main crossing near their capital of Stuttgart. Their current ruler Hartmann II is a man whose wealth can be seen whenever he enters his room, his rotund form adorned with Flemish wool and Greek silk, a truly expensive costume considering his size. Hartmann has chosen to take the side of Luxembourg in the rebellion for three key reasons: Firstly he sees his wealth to most likely expanded with a continuing of the Rhine trade which has bloomed under the rule of the Phoenix, secondly he fears that the Premyslid supporters will seek to tear apart his family's illgotten gains in favour of the Badens and Löwensteins as Otto Welf did for the Zollerns and lastly and maybe most importantly his twin sons are currently second in line behind their cousin to the inheritance of Tübingen, which would once and for all cement the status of the Würtemberg family as the preeminent power in Swabia. Yet there is risk attached to such grasping and it may not be for long until the Würtembergs like many families before them will be reduced to a footnote in the history of German families.

As their name implies the Zollern family originated as mere imperial customs officers inside Swabia almost three hundred years ago. From this comparatively humble beginnings they spend their history aligning themselves ever with powerful patron families, be they Staufer, Habsburg, Ludowinger or as lately Welf. Ever acquiring new lands and rights they have hence emerged as the most powerful family of Swabia and prime rivals to the Tübingen's claim to regional leadership. While this has earned them many allies, prestige and recognition far beyond the borders of the Duchy it has also lead to much resentment by the local nobility, many calling them upstarts, money traders and lick spittles for their success. If this hurts Frederic VI pride he does not let it show, being a grim an determined leader focused on shoring up his family's acquired position and cement them fully as the first of the Swabian families. Yet while the Zollerns dream of taking Thuringia for themselves and once and for all humbling the Tübigens their reputation once more creates problems for them as Urach and Nördlingen in-laws refuse to answer their call to side with the Premyslids. Still Frederic does not show a reaction. He has two sons, one the prime warrior of the HRE, two counties and many titled cousins and friends. Surely the Zollerns will be protected by divine providence as they always have been.

The House of Baden is a prime example of the fact that power, prestige and capability must not necesarrily translate into active participation in the ongoing war.
A descendant of Salians and Sieghardingers the Zähringen family has spent centuries gaining and losing various titles throughout Christendom before being reduced to the small, but vital role of Markgraves of Baden, empowered with special priviliges to ensure the preparedness of the western border for any possible French incursion. As such Hermann has from a young age spent most of his life in the saddle, though he never showed any particular talent for sword or lance. An equally passable administrator he has ruled the Margraviate for since the age of forteen making him particularly aware of the capabilites and limitations of his castles and hosts. Thus, citing his family connections to both Zollern and Würtembergs as well as the need to ensure the maintained defenses of the realm against a French attack he has chosen the path of neutrality making vague overtures to both camps. His stance is further muddied by the fact that while he has been particularly close with the Habsburg Nassau heirs since the erradication of their main family at the hands of the Phoenix, he has also been one of the prime legal advocates that the succession to the Babenberg inheritance, where his grandmother's claims to Austria had been quietly put aside, has never been truly settled.

The Margraviate of Hachberg-Sausenberg is a prime example of how a ceremonial rank must not translate into any particular position of power.
Where his mainline cousin rules over two cities and commands at least the begrudging respect of his allies and rivals, Heinrich III must make due with a small castle surrounded by the far more powerful County of Freiburg. Even worse the cause of this diminished stature, the ongoing splitting of lands between sons, is due to repeat in even worse form as so far he and his wife have been "blessed" with a total of seven male children, all of whom he will have to provide for in the coming years. As such it is little wonder that he has declared for the Premyslid cause, unleashing a deluge of raids on the knightly houses to his north, seeking to carve out some lands and treasure for himself so that maybe, just maybe, he can avert the fate of irrelevance for his family brach.
Margrave of Baden-Hachberg-Sausenberg
Markgraft Otto in many ways can be seen as a less extreme example of the situation than that his elder brother to the north finds himself in. His lands are small, yes, but more expansive and better situated than those of Heinrich. He has many sons, yet not the utter flood that makes Heinrichs nights sleepless. And as Heinrich he is surrounded by an overpowerful neighbour that dictates his policy. Yet where Heinrich is encircled by the neutral County of Freiburg, Otto is surrounded by the partisans of Luxembourg. Thus in a startling reversal of his pervious allegiances (his youngest son is named Ottokar), he has declared for the Phoenix, hoping to make gains for his family up or down stream of the Rhine once the war is ended.
