On the Matter of Escuma

Posted by Aethan on 10/24/22
My disappointment in Turo Navegant is immeasurable. Forsaking his oaths of fealty was bad enough, but his support of and protection of the false Dominus is even worse. This is a time in which we should all be united in our Faith. I will await word from the Faith on their judgment of his actions regarding Waldo before commenting further.

As for Escuma, my number one priority regarding the holding is to see to the well-being of the population. Despite Turo's oath-breaking, I view it as my duty to ensure that the people of House Navegant and their citizens are treated fairly, honorably, and with the utmost respect.

In order to help facilitate these things, I am offering an open invitation to any and all Mercies of Lagoma who wish to come and set up facilities to see to the physical well-being of the people of Escuma. I also invite the Knights of Solace to increase their numbers so that they can reasonably ensure the good works of the Mercies. Finally, I would invite Archlector Giada of the Thirteenth to send along several Mirrormasks to provide counsel, and if anyone from House Navegant or any citizen of Escuma wishes it, the defense of Tehom's Advocates as well.

A ship needs a captain, and Escuma needs a leader. Someone that the people can put their trust and faith in because of the family's long ties to the community. I ask Lady Estil Navegant to take on the leadership of House Navegant and Escuma and begin the process of rebuilding the holding and repairing the lives of the citizenry. To assist with this, and to show House Kennex's dedication to helping the rebuilding process, I am appointing my brother, Lord Ian Kennex, to serve as a liason between Lady Estil and myself. Lord Ian will remain in this role until such time that a suitable match between Lady Estil and House Kennex can be negotiated.

Lord Ian and Lady Estil are also tasked with inquiring after those members of House Navegant in custody to find out how complicit they each were in Turo's actions.

Finally, Turo Navegant is hereby stripped of the title of Marquis of Escuma. I believe that traditions and family are important, and so I will ask the Assembly of Peers to recognize Lady Estil Navegant as the new Marquessa of Escuma. She has kept true to her oaths, even when doing so put her life in danger. Her journey in dangerous seas in a small craft to get from Escuma to Stormward is a level of dedication, loyalty and fidelity that is to be honored and cherished during these uncertain times.

By my hand,
Aethan Kennex
Duke-Regent of Stormward

It is the honor and joy of the Dark Reflection's Shrine to serve the Faithful in trying times. Eight of His Mirrormasks will go to Escuma at Duke Kennex's invitation. We invite all to seek comfort in Reflection, and those who have broken their Oaths may find Advocacy.

The Arx chapter of Lagoma's Mercies are ready and willing to see to the physical and spiritual health of Escuma's citizens and will send a team as soon as feasible. There is healing to be found on many levels, and we are proud to serve.
