Candidates:

I think I'll move to "MT" now, this seems tempting.

From: Foreign Office of the United Kingdom
To: The Scandinavans

It has come to our attention that there is a vacancy in your country, by this I mean there is no "Lord of England". Therefore, might we propose Charles Russell (a descendant of the Tudor nobleman, John Russell, 1st Earl of Bedford), the Duke of Bedford as the possible choice for the title.

He meets all the requirements that you have specified. However, I would like to know if his membership in the Church of England (Anglican like in real life but leaning to Lutheranism in my version of history) will pose a problem or not. He is also married if you would like to know. He is willing to accept all laws, etc of your country and hopes that if chosen, he will be a good member of the nobility of your nation.

If you have any questions, you don't need to hesistate, for we will answer them as best as we can. We thank you for your time and hope you find a sutiable replacement.

Sincerely,
UK Foreign Office

Osteia's comment on Adonis' ancestry has made me remember about discussing Charles' ancestry. Charles descends from the House of Tudor, which generated well known English monarchs like Henry VIII.

From: Prince Corum Vaad, King of Lassic, Coventry and the Border Principalities, Patriarch of the House of Vaad

RE:Erignad

Emperor Olaf,
I have just read of the misfortune of the loss the Lord of Erignad and the predicament of his having no heirs. I have decided that I have a good many Kerbals that are deserving of greater titles and responsibilities that because of the rigid rules of the House of Vaad I may not yet bestow upon them.

I would therefore like to propose that Kerbals Matias Bioscop of the House Bioscop be considered as a worthy replacement for the passed on Lord of Erignad. I personally vouch for his character and ability. His House has served the Lords of Vaad for over six hundred years and have attained the rank of Kerbals Hypatos. Berfore serving my House, the House Bioscop served in the Varangian Guard for several Byzantine Emperors.

The House Bioscop has been an asset to the House of Vaad and I feel that Kerbals Bioscop deserves a chance earn greater accolades than I can at present bestow upon him.

Thank you for your consideration,

To:
Emperor Olaf IV
The Glorious Empire of the Scandinvans

From:
Sanctified Emperor Markos IV
The Imperial Federation of Dai Yuddha Ossyria

First off, the entire nation of Ossyria wishes to express its most heartfelt sympathy for the passing of the late Lord of Erignad. It is always a tragedy when such a well-respected and well-liked figure leaves us behind for the next life.

Secondly, I wish to further the ties between our two great, sovereign nations, both being members of the Grand Imperial Alliance, through any possible means. Therefore, I propose that Lord Andarra 'Andrew' Sabazo, who is the Grand Prince of the Selaine and the current Patriarch of the Royal Family of Sabazo, to take up this vacant position. Lord Sabazo came to me with this proposal in the interest of Scandinvan-Ossyrian relations which will also automatically strip him of his current titles and ranks and rid him of his palatial estate in the Selaine capital of Mykena, but will also profoundly increase Scandinvan popularity and support amongst the Ossyrian peoples and other Royal Families (of which their are twenty-three eligible for the Imperial Throne).

Andarra Sabazo goes by the name Andrew when dealing with Westerners and has said he would take this name if he were chosen. With regards to the four criteria you put forward:
(1) Must be of noble birth - Lord Sabazo is Grand Prince of the Selaine and Patriarch of a prominent Ossyrian Royal Family, the Sabazo family,
(2) Has to have attended college - Lord Sabazo has attended the University of Dahleez, where he received a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and a second Master's Degree in Business Administration, and the Lugalu II School of Law at the prestigious Imperial and Royal University of Ossyria at Urushalim where he received his Juris Doctor,
(3) Must have at least three hundred million dollars in their own accounts - Lord Sabazo easily exceeds this amount as he owns and runs a very successful crude oil company by the name of Selaine Petrol Company, whose net income last fiscal year was over US$15 billion,
(4) Must not have a job as a common laborer - Well, I think the president of a successful oil company and the ruler of one of Ossyria's wealthiest states would have no need to do menial work.

So, I hope you consider Lord Andarra 'Andrew' Sabazo with the same consideration you have given other contenders.

To Whom It May Concern,

Firstly, I would like to personally offer my condolences to the associates of the late Lord of Erignad. It is especially troubling to see another great lineage disappear at a time when so many monarchies are under threat. The Confederacy of Valle Verta has a long and illustrious history of unbroken royal rule; the current ruling House of Maimosa has been in power for the past six hundred and seventeen years. With the recent ascension of Crown-Prince Alec Maimosa to the throne, our country has undergone a period of rapid expansion, and the Vertian people are ready to take their place on the international stage.

Therefore, it is my duty by order of King Maimosa to inform the Scandinvan government of my candidacy for the vacant position of Lord of Erignad. We feel that this is an excellent opportunity for the Confederacy to gain experience in international affairs, and if selected I would be honored to pledge allegiance to Emperor Olaf IV and accept the appropriate responsibilities that come with such a position. Attached to this transmission you will find a list of my qualifications.

We await your reply,

Geneva Maimosa
Duchess of Sasson
House of Maimosa


-Born into the House of Maimosa on November 19 1982.
-Second cousin to the king; inherited the title of Duchess of Sasson from deceased father at the age of nine.
-Raised on the family estate at Barlmoor House.
-Attended the University of Poloma, graduated summa cum laude with a masters in business administration.
-Heir to the one of the largest fortunes in Valle Verta; currently president of the board at Galant Corporation. Valued at over $1.3 billion USD.

600 years ago John Hert Marks and 39 settlers founded a colony named Tyreak that colony built and evolved into what is now Greston. The Marks family started Greston and has had 7 more family members become president. Every other person has followed in John Hert Marks footsteps and has become a great explorer. I hope that is enough nobility.

Upon due consideration of all the candidates that have been presented before the review board as to whom should have the title next we have hereby decided to grant the lordship of Erignad to Lord Andarra 'Andrew' Sabazo of Dai Yuddha Ossyria as we believe that by giving him the lordship our nation will most benefit in the short term or the long term. As well, we would like to thank all the other nations for offering people for the lordship and we also think while the other candidates were more then worthy we wish to state that we chose the one whom we thought would be the best for the greater good of our own people.

This is most ecstatic news, indeed. Many in the Grand Prince's home state have taken to the streets with a dual purpose, on the one hand they are saying farewell to their wealthy leader who helped to modernize the Selaine and also to welcome the news that your Glorious Empire has welcomed their leader with open arms. He has already filed papers with the government to officially change his name to Andrew on all public records in Ossyria.

Lord Andrew Sabazo has already stepped down from his role as Grand Prince of the Selaine and will hand over all titles and properties associated with the office to his brother, Lt. Gen. Dryas Sabazo, currently in command of the OIRAF Frontier and Border Patrol Forces. The younger Lord Sabazo, upon hearing the news of his brother's appointment has taken the opportunity to praise the Alliance between the Scandinvans and the Ossyrians and his staunch commitment to continue his brother's legacy in his home state.

Lord Andrew has decided to retain his position as President and CEO of Selaine Petrol Company and plans to open regional offices near the fief which comes with his new position. He hopes that this will bring jobs and more economic opportunities to the region.

Lord Andrew would like to express his thanks to Emperor Olaf IV of the Scandinvans, and of course would like to invite all other candidates to his invesment ceremony; Charles, Duke of Cornwall, of Edwardian England, Lord Adonis of Osteia, Kerbals Matias Bioscop of Ilak-Vaad, Robert Kleinhart of Granate, and Geneva Maimosa of Valle Verta. We hope that this can usher in a new day of cooperation between all of our nations.

Sincerely,

The Most Sanctified and August Sage-Emperor of All Under Heaven,
Patriarch of House Orlan and the Ekunos Clan,
High and Mighty Lord of the Crown Council,
Supreme Protector of the Faithful,
Keeper of the Sacred Law,
Defender of All Beings,
