Imperial Decree #371: Inductions into the Mango Order

[Kaiseress Anandja I]

My dear Shirerithians, may love and happiness be with you!

For long and dedicated service to the Imperial Republic, in various positions and with different levels of responsibility, and for unwaivering support and love for Shireroth, I hereby induct Ari Rahikkala and Scott of Hyperborea into the Order of the Mango. They may now style themselves "Knight of the Mango".

Signed by my hand, this Rasday, the Sixteenth of Krondokin, 3580 ASC.

[Jonas]

Congratulations, Scott and Ari. You two deserve it! I don't know where the order stands for, but it needs to be good with the name mango in it.

EDIT: Wait a minute? Support?! Love?! Where's the chaos and war?!

[Kaiseress Anandja I]

It's in the DecreeBook. The highest civilian award.

[Ari Rahikkala]

Very much appreciated, Your Niftiness .

[Scott of Hyperborea]

Thank you, your Niftiness. I'd like to thank...oh...let's see...Erik, without whom none of this would have been possible, Mari Greenwood, whose political naivety allowed me to take over Elwynn and elevate Hyperborea to Duchy status in a way I still feel guilty about all these years later, Fax Celestis, whose graceful resolution of the War of the Wylthean Succession allowed me my first major Kaisership, Osmose, whose support was vital in many of my projects, Eoin, who was always a willing co-conspirator, Bill and Harvey and Ari, for being awesome, and everyone else I've gotten to know here.

In the future, I intend to continue my current strategy of coasting on my past accomplishments while remaining semi-retired

[Kaiseress Anandja I]

Yay! Acceptance speech!
