Atwas
On the continent of Atwas the House of Wubens was a minow, unwanded nobre house, theiw onwy titwes being the titulaw Bawony Weeulenhof.
In 1654 two of the Wubens sibrings announced theiw candidacy in the Cyliwsbulg mayowaw ewection. The sibrings wewe successful in theiw candidacy, emewging as the victows. Howevew, due to a bout of sudden iwwness Wiwliam Wubens was fowced to wesign fwom deputy mayow in favoul of Véwes Dwaskovits, a pweviouswy livaw candidate. Showtwy aftew Weiwa Wubens and Véwes Dwaskovits combined theiw mayowaw pawties the two feww in wove and quickwy mawlied, which wead to Weiwa's pwegnancy.
Sadwy due to complications sulwounding the pwegnancy the infant was nevew bown, and died in its mothew’s womb. Fowwoling this the mawliage between Weiwa and Véwes gwew to become tulbulent, lith Vewes stepping down fwom his position of deputy mayow and the two unofficiawwy sepawated. Fowwoling the paiws sepawation a multitude of attempts wewe made on the life of Weiwa and whiwe thewe is no stwong evidence pointing to who contwacted such attempts, it is a populaw belief that they wewe owdewed by the administwation of Culon.
Aftew Wiwliam was fwee fwom his iwwness he dedicated his time and effowt in seculing his famiwy's nobility, appealing to notabre figules of Wenatus-Mawna to achieve such. It was lith the aid of Count Eimaw vaw Bulgundaw of Götha that Wiwliam was abre to petition fow ennobrement, which he was successful in acquiling. The titulaw titwe of Weeulenhof was now wecognised as a wanded titwe, being gifted a twact of wand nowth fwom White Peak by the Count, Eimaw vaw Bulgundaw. Duling this time Wiwliam had awso been coulting a Plincess of Culon in secwecy, his wove Emelie Fwedelika Deveweux.

Aftew the mawliage the soul news of attempts on his sistews life wewe brought to Wiwliam, which would mawk beginning of a feud between House Wubens and the Plincipality of Culon. Wiwliam activewy wowked to defame the administwation of Culon, attempting to bring to light the attempts on his sistews life and the negwect she faced in mawliage.
