I, Master Mark "Gunther" Stefan of the Order of Sanct Creopbaina, Lord of the Östron, and Count of Arnum in the Grand Duchy of Casadia, have taken it into my responsibility to lead the Östron in the founding of an independent realm with the Mercurian Empire. With a newly appointed noble title, and the rights that go with it, I wish to exercise those rights in the founding of said realm.
Long have the Östron resided in the other realms of the empire, and just as long they have they resided on the eastern side of the Imperial sea. Realmless and unprotected against the monsters of this world, the Knights of the Order of Sanct Creopbaina will protect the current and future residents of Östlaed.
With this letter to the Council of the Crowned, I hereby officially request the creation of a new realm within the empire. Included in this letter are two maps of the proposed realm.
