A New Duke

Well, here we are again.

As far as I can ascertain, the current population is:

- Myself
- Iain
- Harald

So let's try and get cracking on with something. I'll spend the next couple of days reviewing whatever laws and decrees Ardashir brought in. I don't imagine I'll be rescinding any, Ardy seems to have calmed down a good bit in the intervening three years :)

What'll I do as Duke? Well, I'll pay attention to the Landsraad and vote when I can. I'll try and get my head around this economy lark but I make no promises. If it hurts Elwynn at all I'll try and cultivate a full understanding though. I have to say that mostly my activities here will be devoted to cultural pursuits. If we need a law, there will be a law, not law for law's sake.

Go about your business, and bother me if we've got a war on or anything, yeah?

Did I miss something? Are you the new duke? Why? The questions multiply...

Ding ;)

Anyway, Mr. Nider... if you can stand down the combined assault force Ardy has had waiting on the border to invade Ynnraile recently, I'll be able to sleep soundly tonight. Thankee.

Because I am older than time itself! A vassal of Aeon and a child of Fate!

I'm Duke because Ardashir has emmigrated...and therefore presumably given up his Dukedom in Elwynn unless he's attempting to pull a Bill. So the gracious Kaiser in decree number three hundred and six has appointed myself.

As I said Krasniy, I'll be reviewing all decrees, commands, laws and by-laws installed by Ardashir. Hopefully I won't be rescinding any, but I certainly won't be given any further orders for hositilities between Rothian Duchies...unless they're deserved of course. You're not some kind of imperialist aggressor are you Krasniy :no

Well as far as sending tanks over other people's borders goes, my slavic role models Messrs. Putin and Mededev are so far out of my league I won't even bother trying to emulate them.

Eoin, I think Ric and Hesam also live in this Duchy.
PS: Get on chat programs!

Hmmm, it seems that looking at a previous Duchal Decree the line of succession has been somewhat skipped over. But I suppose Kaiserial Decrees supercede such things. Hopefully no-one feels like making a ruckus.

It is to my regret that I see I was not in time to pay my respects to the Khan of Vijayanagra...I'm sure there's a story in there somewhere. Having reviewed the Decrees of my immediate predecessor I see nothing that needs repealing. Still not sure where this confrontation with Ynnraile comes from, if someone would care to point me in the right direction that would be great.

A brace of Duchal Decrees forthcoming when I get back from work tonight!

'Twas nothing established in decreed form... merely a few hints revealing Ardy's coveting of the Barony. With his departure I hope any Elwynnian desire to acquire the lands has been snuffed out ;)
