As I reflect upon today, the 13th anniversary of my citizenship, I smile warmly remembering all the people I've come to know, some of whom are either no longer with us by choice and some who are no longer with us for other, sad reasons.
Thirteen years is a long time, and I have accomplished much in those years. From the early years as RUMP leader and Seneschal to my accession nearly a year ago to the Throne, I am reminded time and time again just how much Talossa means to me and how much it has changed me.
My sincere hope is that my kingdom continues to thrive and grow and become much more than it was intended when King Robert founded it all those many years ago. Civility, grace, honor, humor - all virtues that we Talossans should strive for - have at times been missing. However, I have confidence in the people of this kingdom and in our future.
Long live Talossa!
