Coronation Day

The Coronation Day is the day when Jiri Baathúr, Samuel Berghof and Octavio Perickard were crowned the Kings of their respective kingdoms. This day was in 20 July 172 and is considered to be an continental holiday in all of Edelmaa, for it is also considered to be the Armistice Day when the War ended.

## Coronation, Ceremony and Peace

During the Great Battle of Ravaged manor field, all the legitimate present heirs of the Niskain family had died. This meant that the promise given by Lyon Niskain to Jiri Baathúr, that "If all Niskain heirs present shall die, the Crown is yours" was in effect. King Jiri arranged the marriage of himself and Athina Scale which would solidify his claim to the throne, as Jiri didn't want to conquer Workhold, he wanted to usurp it. He did this in order to mitigate unrest. Jiri planned that the crowning ceremony should be simple for he didn't really care much of such parties. He claimed that the Great King Henrinion was also crowned hastily in the Scale Manor. But Octavio and Samuel didn't let it slide as they wished the ceremony to be extravagant. Jiri was a bit upset for now he had to wait extra 13 days until the coronation.
In 20 July 172 the day finally came and the ceremony was glorious. It was held in the city of Antikea where the most lavish palace stood. It was decorated with gold and silver from the inside and some bronze as well. This was to indicate all the different classes present as even the peasants were invited. The Three Kings sat at the very end of the hall with their spouses and their children sat to their side table. It is said that the party consumed so much alcohol that it is the very reason why Marth Alfeld got rich, for he established the Marth's brewery shortly after the war.
The Ceremony began with the offical signing of the Treaty of Kerry's Farm peace. This declared the following:

* King Jiri to become the new legitimate King of Workhold
* Baathúr family to become a legitimate royal family of Workhold
* King Samuel to become the legitimate king of a new sovereign kingdom of Hefaia
* King Octavio to become the legitimate king of a new sovereign kingdom of Olav
* Unity against all external threats
* Non-Aggression pact between the three kingdoms for 100 years
* Laws that push equity between the Peasants and the Nobles in Olav

This peace treaty was very much liked. This made it so that the Hefaians got their own state finally in the form of Kingdom of Hefaia. The Peasants received equity inside the borders of Olav. And Jiri became the legitimate king of Workhold.

There was one audacious thing about the peace however. When it was drafted, Lyon Niskain worded the treaty quite cheekily. The Baathúr family became **a**Royal family of Workhold, not **the** Royal Family of Workhold. This meant that the Niskain family still held legitimate claims to the throne even though they fled the continent and were later exiled by Jiri.

The Ceremony then continued. The Crowning was the next event. The Coronation hall was fantastical. Many would describe it the most expensive and royal thing they've ever seen. The Kings were claded in white furskin cloaks that had different colours in the reverse side. Jiri always had his cloaks reverse side as dark purple to signify Royalty and Determination. Samuel and Octavio however both had Green though different shades. Perickards consider green as the colour of their house whilst green is also the colour most associated with the Hefaians. When the kings arrived in the hall, all of them marched to their golden thrones in the same pace as to signify equality between them. After arriving at their thrones they knelt and pledged loyalty to their realms and sat on their thrones. Incredible cheers were cried out in honor of the new kings and peace. This magnificent coronation ceremony was followed by a feast of great size.

The dished were prepared by the best cooks in all of Edelmaa and the dishes were numerous. Main drink was wine which was gathered from all over Edelmaa. Many drunks came to the feast only to chug down as much free wine as possible. The feast lasted for 10 hours, after which the ceremony was completed. All the Kings conversed and shook hands, then they settled their new kingdoms. Much to many people's surprise, no-one died during the Ceremony. Many expected assassins or drunks killing people, but nothing violent happened, thus this ceremony is considered the single most unifying moment in the entire history of Edelmaa.

## Notes

* 272 hosted the only other ceremony that could topple the 172 Coronation Day in extravagance, as it hosted the 100th Anniversary of the Coronation Day and the Peace of the Great War.
