Imperial Decree #415: Honours & Departures

[Aurangzeb Khan]

Seeing as things are more or less at a desirable end state for the reign and considering I don't want any more fuss and hassle over the new year than I necessarily have to put up with. I order the following.

Signed by my hand at Raynor's Keep, Shirekeep, on this Thorsday the 3rd day of Vivantiana, in the year MMMDCCXCII ab sectora condita

Thank you and good night. You've all been a fantastic audience... even you Erik...

[Arviður]

My Lord,

I wish to thank you. I wish to honour you.

But I don't know how.

To the new Kaiser I fall on to my knees. May he rule wisely! May the gods be with him!

[Kaiser Leto III]

The Kaiser needs an administrator who can change his nickname to Kaiser Leto III instead of Laiser Leto III...

To the new Kaiser I fall on to my knees. May he rule wisely! May the gods be with him!

Thank You, Lord Arviður, this loyalty will be rewarded in the future!

[Arviður]

LASER KAISER! I think the Kaiser should become the administrator...

Thank you, Sir!

Majesty,

Name fail corrected - they'll never suspect a thing. Keys to the admin kingdom handed over. The rest Ari will have to take care of.

[Kaiser Leto III]

Excellent to know that I get such a fast service.


So, who is next to swear loyalty to the Kaiser?

[Jess]

This is why I hate Shireroth.

Fuck you all!

[Aurangzeb Khan]

Lord Kaiser I pledge myself to your service, swearing the utmost fealty for the duration of your reign, which I hope shall be a long one.

[Aurangzeb Khan]

This is why I hate Shireroth.

Fuck you all!

I take it Jess won't be then.

[Gareth Arthur]

Excellent to know that I get such a fast service.


So, who is next to swear loyalty to the Kaiser?

As you were my Lord before, you shall be in the future!

Praise Kaiser Leto III and all of His Imperial Majesty's reign!

[Erik Mortis]

Dolor continues to swear its state of rebellion against the throne.


(Jonas, you did remember to quit ALL other citizenships right?)

[Aurangzeb Khan]

I did warn him several times on that score, and to the best of my knowledge he has been on a resignation tour of micras this afternoon.

[Erik Mortis]

Good. I'm still rebelling though.

[Aurangzeb Khan]

Well it'd be impolite not too really, oh but incidentally what is your criteria for a Kaiser you wouldn't rebel against?

[Kaiser Leto III]

This is why I hate Shireroth.

Fuck you all!

Because I have become Kaiser?

I did warn him several times on that score, and to the best of my knowledge he has been on a resignation tour of micras this afternoon.

Indeed, the matter should be finished.

Good. I'm still rebelling though.

You really want Shirekeep back, don't you?

[Erik Mortis]

Not sure I'd have such a Kaiser. I'll see it when I see it.

What's this.. 4th Kaiser in a row I've rebelled against now?

[Kaiser Leto III]

Not sure I'd have such a Kaiser. I'll see it when I see it.

What's this.. 4th Kaiser in a row I've rebelled against now?

Probably because you haven't been a Kaiser in a relative long period. It's like a drug.

[Aurangzeb Khan]

Not sure I'd have such a Kaiser. I'll see it when I see it.

What's this.. 4th Kaiser in a row I've rebelled against now?

Now let us see. It depends whether the revolt started under Erasmas or Anandja. If the latter then its four successive reigns.

[Erik Mortis]

I remember rebelling under Anandja.

[Kaiser Leto III]

I remember rebelling under Anandja.

Ah. Good times, very good times.

[Ryan]

I, Ryan, Count of Lac Glacei, do hereby pledge my loyalty to Kaiser Leto III.

At least until I disagree with him.

[Kaiser Leto III]

I, Ryan, Count of Lac Glacei, do hereby pledge my loyalty to Kaiser Leto III.

At least until I disagree with him.

That's what I expect from a Yardistani.

[Harvey Steffke]

I, as the Lord of the Order of Vajra, as well as the Order itself, do affirm their loyalty towards Shirekeep, the Crown, and Kaiser Leto III.

I would also like to personally thank to departing Lord for the honors he has placed upon me. Been quite a long time indeed.

[Kaiser Leto III]

I, as the Lord of the Order of Vajra, as well as the Order itself, do affirm their loyalty towards Shirekeep, the Crown, and Kaiser Leto III.

Thank you, it's good to know that Shirekeep has allies so close at its borders.

[Harald of Froyalan]

It seems that your engagement to Princess Fränzi-Ferdinanda has increased your good fortunes, hasn't it?

[Kaiser Leto III]

It seems that your engagement to Princess Fränzi-Ferdinanda has increased your good fortunes, hasn't it?

She brings luck.

[Harald of Froyalan]

She brings luck.

That's something that will come in quite handy for you during therest of your reign.

[Kaiser Leto III]

Can't expect that she brings so much luck.

[Aurangzeb Khan]

It can only take a bullet for you once you know.

[Harald of Froyalan]

Can't expect that she brings so much luck.

Hope for the best, expect the worst.
