The Diet of Tor to Talia Adura of Orias!
As it is apparent to all that a king is constituted by the Gods to be ruler of a people, to defend them from oppression and violence as the shepherd his sheep; and whereas the Gods did not create the people slaves to their prince, to obey his commands, whether right or wrong, but rather the prince for the sake of the people (without which he could be no prince), to govern them according to equity, to love and support them as a father his children or a shepherd his flock, and even at the hazard of life to defend and preserve them. And when he does not behave thus, but, on the contrary, oppresses them, seeking opportunities to infringe their ancient customs and privileges, exacting from them slavish compliance, then he is no longer a prince, but a tyrant, and the people are to consider him in no other view.
Now thus it is that the prince Oda of Termain, elected king of All Termain by only a part of this land and against the wishes and the interests of the greater part of the provinces for which we the lords declarant of this missive speak, took upon him to rule over us. And though he was not the king of our choosing he did receive of us all owed deference and obedience. Yet forgetting the services done him faithfully by his subjects of these provinces that made him powerful and prosperous and struck fear into the heart of his enemies, did rather harken to the counsel of those Orians about him who had conceived a secret hatred to this land and to its liberty, because they could not enjoy posts of honor and high employments here as in Orias, the Southern provinces, and other countries under the king's dominion. Thus offended by the freedoms of the North, so inimical to the slavish submission of the South, the said counselors, or the principal of them, frequently remonstrated to the king that it was more for his Majesty's reputation and grandeur to subdue the Low Countries a second time, and to make himself absolute (by which they mean to tyrannize at pleasure), than to govern according to the restrictions he ought to have accepted, and at his admission should have been sworn to observe. From that time forward the king of Termain, following these evil counselors, sought by all means possible to reduce this country (stripping them of their ancient privileges) to slavery, under the government of Orians.
Silently we the lords of our own land long bore in silence this imposition of Orian rule, though it was neither lawful nor just and though it violated the privileges that has been enjoyed by our country and which the late king Oda's noble predecessors always honored and abided by. We did so because we were not his majesty's enemies and bore ill will only towards those wicked councilors who turned his Majesty against our nation. But as the Gods saw fit to call home to them their servant Oda these very advisors and counselors of the late king whose hatred for us and all we hold dear conspired to deny us once again the right to choose a prince that would protect our rights and safeguard the happiness of our people as they elected, against our wishes, a monarch who shares their own hatred for our rights and our freedoms.
We, the Diet of the First Estate of the five northern provinces, of Tor of Sørlandet, of Norrland, of Ostland, of Øyjarnar having sufficient reason to distrust the rule of Orians above us, shall pay no homage and swear no allegiance to any monarch not of our own choosing who seeks to rule us not in accordance with the ancient traditions and customs of the northern kingdom but with malice and contempt, with tax collectors and armies, with Orian councilors and Orian laws. No, we the Diet of the First Estate of the five northern provinces hereby declare to you Talia Adura, who claims to be our Queen that we hereby assume responsibility for our own governance and will defend our ancient privileges against the caprice of Orian agressors. We, the Diet of Tor, shall hereby govern Tor, Sørlandet, Norrland, Ostland and Øyjarnar free of the dominion of Orias and Tera, and we shall do so until such a time as we deem that our interest and our privileges are will not be infringed upon by you or any other Orian who would rule over us according to their own whims.
So says we the lords and magnates and nobles and jarls and thanes of Tor, of Sørlandet, of Ostland, of Øyjarnar. So says Ulf Thorgillson Skjöldung, Jellundejarl, so says Wiglaf, Thane of Jomsborg, so says Svarte Skånning son of Toke Svarte, so says Björn Ulfrsson, so says the Thane Svend of Angrborgr, so says general Johann Rantzau, so says ...
