Recent Words from Their Highnesses

February 1, AS XLVI (2012)

Greetings Unto the Populace of Oertha,

We would like to thank everyone that made Our coronation such a joy and
success. There were many that leapt into action and attended to all the
many details that are part of such an event before and afterwards. We
will be speaking to you personally if We have not done so already.

Our Reign will focus on mentoring. Our lands are populated with those
knowledgeable and skilled in a variety of fields. The sharing of this
bounty enriches and strengthens the Principality. We hereby challenge
all to pass on what you know. Whether in a class setting or
individually, teach a skill, craft, philosophy, etc. If you admire
someone don't be afraid to ask them to share what they know. To those
who learn something new, We ask that you bring your new skills to Our
attention that We may delight in your progress.

We also ask you, the populace, for award recommendations - in writing
please - so that those worthy of recognition are not missed. It is not
uncommon for a person doing a lot of work or creating fine items to be
overlooked because everyone assumes that others are putting them forward
or they have already been recognized.

We look forward to spending as much time with you as possible. The
Coronets are a symbol of Our authority, but they are also a symbol of
the responsibility we have to Our populace. You are the Principality.

Taran and Heleyne, Prince and Princess of Oertha
