Azul all,
I have always said that what makes the Kingdom of Talossa special is that it allows people to engage meaningfully in activities that they otherwise would not be able to in other contexts. In that spirit I have been pleased to have served as El Capitán da l'Altahál for the past year, recognizing the contributions of citizens who have really made this place their own.
I have no intention of fully withdrawing from Talossa any time soon, but I do have a number of other commitments and I have been trying to reduce how many things I am obligated to look at regularly. This means I will probably be checking in around here less frequently, and, as a result, I am no longer in a position to be a good Captain. I hereby step down from my post effective immediately, with thanks to His Majesty, the Most Honourable Seneschal, and all the members of the Zuoaves.
Best,
Ian P.
P.S. I think this means my only remaining position is that of Puisne Justice, which, given that cases come in at a clip of one or two per year, I think I can manage. You all know where to find me.
Thank you for your service, and we appreciate you very much. I hope that we'll see more of you socially, if less out of obligation!
Thanks for your service, Sir Ian! Good luck with your current ventures.

@Françal I. Lux as Defence Minister ia there a process already in progress to find the next captain of the Zouaves?
I am the acting Minister for that post. Someone has already been volunteered and I just haven't had a chance to do the appointment yet.

Oh nice, I didn't realize this was a part of your portfolios but I'm not surprised.
Good to know we have someone identified and that there is an announcement lined up when you have the opportunity to make it.
