Imperial Decree #390: Instrument of Abdication

[Kaiseress Anandja I]

Dear Shirerithians, greetings!

As I now have reached the 100th year of my reign, I feel that it is time to pass on the Golden Mango throne. I therefore hereby abdicate and proclaim Ari Rahikkala as my successor to the Kaisership. The Steward remains in charge until Kaiser Ari assumes the throne.

Live long and prosper.

Signed by my hand this Somnisday, the Twenty-sixth of Qarbinionsmoon, 3673 ASC.

An old Kaiseress... are you going back to the little cottage at sea to spend your last days looking to the birds and ships, my lady?

[Kaiseress Anandja I]

Could be, could be. I have a small abode in the Skylas. My nephew will be handling Lakhesis and Brookshire from now on.

[Leo Fenrir]

You will be sorely missed your ex-nifftiness. Of the two and a quarter ounce reigns I have seen, yours was the most inspiring by far. Enjoy your cottage retreat.

[Erik Mortis]

OH yeah.. I was gonna overthrow that nephew...

[dr-spangle]

I never knew much of your kaiseressship*, but I'm sure it was awesome! :P you will be missed, especially with ari's incredible state of inactivity :P (just kidding, i'm sure he'll be great again :P)

*probably not a real word

[Gman Russell]

Once again, an absent Ari is on the throne.

[Jonas]

Once again, an absent Ari is on the throne.

Like it should be!

Err... no wait...

[Jacobus Loki]

How long was Loki III Kaiser when he wasn't here? (Holds stopwatch.)

[Gman Russell]

When i'm done killing foreigners, i'm gonna kill the kaiser, I think. Cheers.

[Malliki Tosha]

Don't blame Ari. The blame, if any, should fall on my dear aunt. She didn't have the energy to stay on the throne any longer, even if Ari did ask if she could.

[dr-spangle]

well, best sources indicate ari is out lumberjacking.

[Malliki Tosha]

Yes he is. This is a good opportunity for the Khan to go totally apeshi... get some experience in governance.

[Gman Russell]

So... he's a lumberjack... and he's ok? He must work all night and sleep all day, surely.

[dr-spangle]

Yes, and we all know that ari likes to wear women's clothing.

also hanging around in bars is favourable to him.

[Malliki Tosha]

He also wears high heels. Have you ever seen his pressed wildflowers? Very pretty.

And the Elwynnese National Choir proudly presents


The Lumberjack Song

[Gman Russell]

This will be the only time I applaud anything Elwynn.

[Erik Mortis]

Yay for Monty Crisco.. I mean... Python...

[Ari Rahikkala]

Jusssssssssst a sec... I need to break the board quick before I can start
