On a Knife's Edge
The ruined Arling of Edgehall has just become the cause of a crisis in Western Ferelden. Fergus Lendon, the young, ailing Arl is at death's door and he has left no children to succeed him. The law sates that without any legitimate relatives the Arling will fall to his wife, Arlessa Amelia Lendon. However, the Arl's half-brother Gell Lendon has returned from exile for allegedly plotting against his brother, with a healthy contingent of Orlesian mercenaries as his bodyguard. He claims that he was the victim of a plot by the Arlessa to scheme her way to seizing Edgehall for herself once his brother died and now he has returned to see to it justice is done. The Arlessa denies this and has vowed to oppose any attempt to march on Edgehall. While the Arl favors his wife, the local nobility seem to be staying out of the dispute and it seems likely the King and the Landsmeet will be asked to settle the matter if bloodshed is to be avoided.

Greeting my friend,
I would hear your view on this fool trying to unseat Arlessa Lendon before her husband is even in the ground. An exiled traitor backed by the men of Orlais who wishes to claim an Arl's seat. What say you on this matter? I have never been among those to disparage you lady wife, but perhaps she has kin who know of this barking dog's pack of mongrels? On a less political note, I do hope you will join me for a drink sometinme this spring. I have an old bottle of wine in my cellar and it sings our names. Apparently my she-wolf of a daughter got it in her head to run off and marry a barbarian and now I must play nice. And so I would share a toast with you. My Andraste shield you from daughters. And now I find my self in the market for both a bride and a new daughter. It has been six years and young Renilla deserves a more feminine figure in her life than the maids. I shall be searching both near and afield, perhaps again your wife could counsel?

Gallaghar, it is good to hear from you this close to the end. I fear this bout will be my last. Somehow I fear even the support of all Ferelden will not keep my brother away forever. But, that is for the future. Edgehallhad far immediate problems. The Banns have not obeyed Edgehall in years and Edgehall itself is still in ruins. My wife will need aid in times to come.

What would you have of me my friend? I cannot simply marshal my men and march on your halls. We have no family ties for me to argue and the Landsmeet would not stand for it. Had you an heir, I would act as their strong shield until they came of age, but this is not to be. Do you have a by-blow I am unaware of? Please my friend, let me aid you. I would not see all you have worked for torn asunder by an Orlisan Lapdog.
...If I had the strength to think of that I wouldn't been in this state.

Ha! Fair enough old friend. Than let me be more direct; do you have some one you would have me say was your by-blow? Or will the knowledge that my men and I stand by your wife be comfort enough?
...Ignoring the fact you just said you would claim I committed adultery I couldn't have produced a bastard even if I wanted to. Just stand by my wife.

My friend, I wanted to hear your advise. As you know, I am seeking brides for myself and my son. The Orlisans are hosting a Grand Hunt. Is it wise to attend this affair? I expect most of Ferelden will not attend, but will you? Our nation going unrepresented feels unwise. My gut tells me to pursue matches within the kingdom, but my mind wonders if perhaps looking farther afield would be wiser. As one who has found happiness with an Orlisian bride. I know the hills and forests of my land well, I am less suited to perfumed halls. I look forward to you missive in regards to this.

We three are the dominant cities of the Free Marches. Between the three of us, we have enough power and influence to sway the other cities.
We propose an alliance aimed at unifying the Free Marches under our leadership, so as to better resist the Qunari.
What say you?

An intriguing scheme, old friend. We can indeed divide the Free Marches between us. But Tantervale stands to lose in this arrangement. Better for us to rule alone.

I see how this benefits you and Starkhaven and I see how this harms Tantervale. We will oppose your dreams of empire.

I had envisioned a sort of triarchy, where the three cities would each get a vote over policy in a united Free Marches, we may be able to talk Tantervale around eventually, but if not, then we must prepare to cut them out entirely.

We had envisioned a sort of Triarchy where each of the three cities got a vote on policy for the United Free Marches, you would have a vote equal to Starkhaven and ourselves.
House de Chalons -- 9:20 Dragon
Règle: Duc Germain de Châlons.
Héritier: Grand-Duc Gaspard de Chalons.
Gouvernement: Féodalisme.
Population: Un Million.
Capitale: Verchiel.
Arbre Généalogique:
Duc Theodore de Chalons; Princesse Melisande Valmont.

Gouvernement: Féodalisme.
Population: Un Million.
Capitale: Verchiel.
Arbre Généalogique:
Duc Theodore de Chalons; Princesse Melisande Valmont.
- Gran-Duc Gaspard de Chalons; Calienne de Ghislain.
- Gran-Duchesse Florianne de Chalons.
Statut Économique: Croissance.
Trésorerie: Un.
Action Majeure:
- Given their central location, the de Chalons are well-placed to exploit the flow of commerce in Orlais. For such a desire to become reality, good roads are required. However, the expense of such a venture could be ruinous on the family's coffers. Thus, with these two factors in mind, the de Chalons have created several turnpike trusts with the intention of maintaining the principal trade routes going through their lands. These turnpike trusts are also responsible for the safety of the individuals going through the trade routes -- if they fail in this task, a fine is to be raised. In addition, the de Chalons have hired noted surveyors to plan for additional highways -- easing the burden on the existing roads [-Moins Un.]
- New commissions for the construction of watchtowers at select locations throughout the de Chalons' borders are ordered. These buildings are to be the first line of defense against any marauding foe. [-Moins Un].
- Understanding the importance of farmers, the de Chalons have chartered the "Banque Rurale" to provide low-interest loans [1-3% annual] to local landowners. With this surplus of funds, the de Chalons hope that the landowners can yield more crops. [-Moins Un].
A trick most foul has deprived the Gran-Duc of His just rights -- the throne of Orlais. Now, a girl not yet old enough to stop wetting her bed has become the Empress. What has she done to deserve such a responsibility? She lacks both the strength of arms and the love of the people. Her womanhood is a liability for all, Maker knows what sort of effeminate mischiefs her rule will cause. Despite this insult, the Chalons have stayed their blade for the good of the realm; they truly understand the costs of war.
Militaire| Main D'oeuvre: Soixante six mille six cent soixante six.
Raised: Cinq cents gardes de la ville [Verchiel].
Flotte: Dix [actif -- 1.200 Hommes]; Cent quarante [réserve].

Starkhaven: You won't, Tantervale is surrounded by us and Nevarra and it will not allow itself to be outvoted by us. Furthermore the cities will not submit without a fight, though they will be very uncoordinated.
Tantervale: And all we can see from that is a future of 2-1 votes going against us. We will not submit.

My friend of the Western Hills,
I am afraid that my opinion of these Orlesian mercenaries and the bastard that leads them is not far from my own. My wife would make some inquiries as to their history, but I wouldn't hold much breath as to any findings my family can look up. As to that drink you mentioned... well, it would be my honor to take you up on that offer. I am of a feeling that we are heading for interesting couple of months.
As soon as this business with the Ledons is over, I would think it would be wise to attend. Even as a basic form of courtesy. Even my family is kinda obliged to attend. Doing so would be a disservice to my wife's family even. I am often of the mind that we should keep our friends close and our enemies closer still.
