State of Esshar

[DanteriusAvius]

The change begun years before has culminated in the restoration of the Petrakis Monarchy. The throne occupied by Queen Arista rei Petrakis, with her heir, Crown Princess Eisele ras Petrakis to follow in her wake.

""I vow, to give the entirety of myself to this city. With Kraus, Malziel, and Leonaus as my witness, I will serve Osrona with everything I have. My duty is to the people, both those here today, and those within our dominion.

My body, mind and soul, exist purely for the people and city. In times of peace, I will attempt to bring prosperity, to improve the lives of those, beginning with the least of us.

In war, I will seek to protect us, and our allies. I will take to the field myself if necessary, shed my own blood, and place my life on the line, to protect those in need, alongside the knights and protectors of our Shimmering City.

I will listen to the words of the Faith, that I might better guide us all, to return Osrona to a golden age.

In famine, I will not eat if the people do not. In drought, I will not drink, if the people do not.

The Queen is no better than her subjects, and is worth no more than the least of us.

It is to these principles that I will vow, to rule with Justice and Mercy."

-Queen Arista rei Petrakis

In the wake of the coronation, reformations and proclamations were issues swiftly, in a symbolic rebirth of the Shimmering City.

☉ Arista rei Petrakis has refused to take any crown, referring to herself as the Crownless Queen.

☉ Phillip Petrakis, the predecessor of the Metras line, has been posthumously pardoned of his crimes, and they are to be expunged from the annals of history.

☉ Radiant Melody has been named as the first Minister, taking the title of Minister of the Chorus. This confers upon her the purview to act with the weight of the throne behind her, within functions pertaining to the Chorus, as well as making her an advisor to the Queen.

☉ The Queen and Princess are reportedly seeking out three more individuals to serve as Ministers.

☉ Angelo ven Pelleaux, in a show of fealty, renounced his claim to the throne of Osrona, for himself and his descendants.

☉ Elys Gardios has retired from the position of Stellus, giving the governance of the Faith to Ithiel akh Arthesio.

☉ Minister Melody's project to domesticate Gordon's was successful, and their existence as exotic but tame pets becomes commonplace within the City. It's rumored that the Queen herself has one.

☉ A letter delivered at the end of the coronation triggered rumblings of rising tensions with Moxtli. There may be war on the horizon.
