Diplomatic action
It turns out that someone is plotting against the Drakenburg family and seeking to discredit them at the Imperial Court. The family is being linked to an alleged plot by the Jungfreud family to rebel against the Emperor and 'The Darkenburg Pledge Ring' which was given to Graf Sigismund as part of Salundra's dowry is now being claimed as proof of the conspiracy. The Duke has travelled to Altdorf in an attempt to speak with the Emperor and resolve this misunderstanding but the nobles of the Reikland Council denied him an audience merely demanding that he prove his loyalty to the Empire by verifying that he has recovered the ring from the Graf and thus cancelled his support.
