[GV]

While you will not see me appending stuff to my name, do not think I am not honored by this gesture.  In my efforts at the betterment of Talossa and the best aspects of Ben's kingdom-dream, I have always known I have been 'seen' to one degree or another, and I hope this will be a way of attracting continued attention to the ancient times of the Kingdom, the memory of which must always stay alive.

It is brilliant to be so lauded along with Glüc and Edo (sp)!

GV

[Glüc da Dhi S.H.]

Thank you Lüc

always (succesfully or unsuccesfully) trying to play it cool, but I will admit I am  excited about this, and very grateful to you and the other senators for this honour.

I am also very pleased to share this honour with GV, already a Talossan legend before reunision and now key in preserving the story that is Talossa due to his work as archivist.
And of course also very pleased to be honoured at the same time as Etho. He has made Talossa better in so many different roles since before I became a citizen. Sometimes we were staunch allies, other times we vehemently disagreed, but he has always made Talossa more colourful, he helped me find my way when I first got here and I have the greatest amount of respect for him.

[Eðo Grischun]

Thank you.  I said this before and I'll say it again, I'm not entirely sure I deserve this.  I really don't see myself as being in the same league as GV and Gluc.  I am grateful and humbled to not only receive this award, but just to have been considered in the first place.  Again, thank you.

The words said about me by the other recipients of this award, I think, mean more to me than the award itself.  Like I said, I see both of them as being leagues above me and I hold the highest of respect for both of them, so for them to say what they just did about me is extremely touching. 

Congratulations to GV and Gluc.  You both deserve this award for the outstanding work you both done over the years in service to our nation. 

Long Live Talossa!
