The Aurelian Spring

[Luciuskonst]

From the Landammann of the Aurelian League, Free City of the Holy Roberts Empire

The Aurelian League hereby declares its existence as a sovereign republic within the Holy Roberts Empire. The wise Emperor grants us the privileged title of Free City, at last confirming our divine right to local autonomy and Imperial representation.

From the lands of Rughzhenhaide, we marched to Aurelia, retrieving the ancestral lands taken from us by foreign armies. By saber, blood and Zhenh Rugh's example, we drove the invaders beyond the mountain passes which guard the Empire's borders. As such, we affirm our eternal spiritual allegiance to the loyal House of Seren, to which we owe our republican prosperity, and the Empire, which separates civilisation from barbarity.

As the cinders of war are smothered by the march of peace, we open our arms to all who seek refuge from tyranny and war. To our neighbours, near and far, we extend our hand in friendship and fairness.

Let every man be his own master, and to a common flag we shall muster

Signed,

The People of Aurelia
