About
The Rigelian Empire · The New Duke · 21 Years Old Erwin von Bramsholt Third-born, kept to ledgers and letters — the river took everyone trained to rule it. The Venn watches what you become. First Impressions Dark chestnut hair, quiet grey eyes shadowed by six weeks of grief, a steward's soft hands and no sword. He wears iron-grey with marsh-green mantle and cuffs, still half in mourning, a plain signet ring — and an iron key at his belt that fits no lock in the keep. The Inheritance Six weeks ago the Erlen crossing collapsed under the ducal party, and the river in autumn spate took his father, both elder brothers, and the knight-captain of thirty years. The province ruled it misadventure. The Venn has argued about it ever since. What came down to him: a half-built keep, a book of debts, two peoples, one raw border — and that key. The Steward Wolfram was trained to rule, Hartwin to fight; Erwin was kept to stewardry, letters, and the outer books. He knows the ledgers, the granary counts, and every servant's name. He has never commanded a rider or passed a sentence. Now every petition, debt, raid, and judgment in the march ends at his chair. The Watchers Creditors smell weakness. The troop measures. The hamlets keep their own books. Zofia probes, the crown writes letters, and every hall compares him to Volkmar out loud. Respect is not in the inheritance — it gets earned ruling by ruling, or it never arrives at all. In the Venn's Words "The spare's spare. Soft hands. Knows the price of grain, never swung a sword. — Well. We'll see what the river left us."
