I, King Ferdinand the Boastful, of Los Costas del Solos and rightfully of all Estalia, by marriage to the radiantly beautiful person of Queen Isobelos, cousin to the mighty Emperor Karl Franz II, do hereby lay my claim to be the next successor to the Imperial Throne.
Should any rival count doubt my excellent claim, I hereby present Arch Inquisitor Cortez and Los Conquistadors, conquerors of Lustria, bringers of much gold to my glorious kingdom, undisputed champions of Estalia. Equipped with the world-famous Estalian pike, the skilled horsemanship of the Jinetas and the Steam Tank, kindly loaned (at great expense) by the Guild of Engineers.
They march for The Empire to press my just and honest claim to the throne.
