IMPERIAL DECREE Nº 690 ON ASSUMPTION AND ORGANIZATION OF GOVERNMENT AND OTHER MATTERS

BY

HER MAJESTY THE KAISERESS


Dear All

It must have been over a hundred years since I last saw Shirekeep. I am still not that all impressed. The Keep is nice though.

Having had Stellus Yastreb's wrists slapped, so to speak, he is no longer welcome in My government. That gives Me quite some opportunity to rearrange things here.

Aasmund Vigeland: he may be a bit young and inexperienced, but if living in the wilderness has taught Me anything, it is to always listen to someone with a gun. I still have Mine with me, where-ever I go, and I am Kaiseress, so you will listen to Me most of all. Then Aasmund. He will be My new Steward for the time being. I am ever so thankful for his daring to come to My cottage and tell Me these marvelous news. Who would have thought? Me? As a kaiseress? Well, Lady Elwynn believed in Me, and so did Aasmund. He's a good boy.

And since you all will listen to Me, I must say something that annoyed Me over the years. I hate "niftiness". You will not ever call Me that. I am Elwynnese, and We are not a "nifty" people, We are a majestic people. And I am not "nifty". I am majestic and a lady. Call Me "Majesty" or "Lady" or anything nice, but never, ever, call Me "nifty" nor "niftiness". I am considering bringing back the death penalty for this. Thank Lady Elwynn for making Me, out of all, kaiseress! Finally someone can take charge of this linguistic monstrosity! And that falls to Me.

Oh yes, for the matter of My Minister for the Exterior: I am willing to hear any and all applications. I do not know very much about foreign peoples and lands, I have never been outside the area between the Blue and the White Elwynn.

Some people of this Court (many of whom will not have a job to go to tomorrow) have been bugging about the question of who's being heir. By Lest! I have only become Kaiseress and already are people hoping/expecting that I will kick the bucket tomorrow. Evil bastards! But to avoid this type of conversation: in the unfortunate event of My dying, the throne shall pass to the Steward, unless I have made a decree on succession at a later date than today.

I have heard that there is some silly debate on the Charter in the Landsraad. By Lest, those politicians and their stupid intrigues. I was never much for the Landsraad. Shame I just can't dissolve it. Well, how about this? I have decided that the Charter needs a complete re-write. The new draft must clearly define the powers of My government and of the States of the Union. It must also be a concise document that makes perfect sense when reading it. I am old and a bit dim in My head, so I would much appreciate a clear document. I empower the good Arbiter to form an imperial inquiry on the matter. After analysing some popular opinion, he shall present a draft charter before Me. He shall do so within one Elwynnese year's time.

Speaking of time, I never really liked the strange system of time here. But I understand many do, but for my own sake (as I said, I am a bit dim in the head), I will very much like My own calendar to be used. So, for compromise's sake, both the Elwynnese calendar and the traditional imperial Apollonian calendar will both be official. Thank you.

I think that would be all for now. Do write if there is something worrying you.

May the Lady Elwynn bless the hearts of all of you. My love and affection to you, My dearest, dearest people.

The Keep, 10th Muulantooqu 1620 (ASC 5651)
