On this day we have shown the enemy the might of the Osronan people, the ferocity of the lion imbued in each and every one of us. Time and time again have our enemies sought to paint us as spineless, as weak, yet today we have proven them all wrong, and shown them that the restoration of the monarchy does not simply stop there.
For the Empire of Esshar shall be restored.
For centuries has our land been embroiled in internal disputes and conflicting ideals. Foreign pretenders who have laid claim to land that rightfully belongs to the Astyan people. Dragons from the north, an ever expansive totalitarian state from the west, and vampires from the south. They have made a mockery for all that we stand for, seeking naught but our division and destruction.
Utilizing 'mercy' as a means to see us tear each other apart, preying upon our good nature and stable morality, all the while partaking of darkness. That is what they have done for ages, for decades, yet we as a people will no longer stand for it, this is where we must put our foot down.
Our ancestors did not bleed so we may make fools of ourselves. Our forefathers did not sacrifice so that we may live in contentment. Malziel did not deliver us retribution so that we may spit upon his faith.
Each and every one of you proved that the spirit of Leonaus yet exists, that his courage and honor still runs in the veins of his followers, those blessed directly beneath his constellation. I could not be prouder, as your Queen, as your leader, knowing that my people brandished their blades to keep darkness at bay.
But our march is not yet over.
We may be entering a period of peace, but this is merely the beginning. The years to come will be a period to bolster our forces, to train and prepare. You may not realize it, but the greatest war of our lives is yet to come, and we must be prepared for it. Even if our enemies stick to the shadows, even if those who seek superiority ruffle their wings and beat their chests- we will stand poised to strike, to defend our home and faith.
So rest, enjoy the time you have, for when the horn of war is heard again and the beating of wings is clear, I will need you all to stand as my blades.

☉ Immediately following their victory at the Battle of Starfall, the Order of the First Light has been recalled to the Shimmering City, to begin preparing for an undisclosed conflict. Even if they will have a brief period of peace, it would seem the monarch has set her gaze elsewhere.
☉ Upon ascension to the throne, the newly crowned Queen restored the Order of the First Light, to stand as the protectors of the realm, and the blade of the Petrakis monarchy. An elite force which will stand as both sword and shield for the people of Osrona. A new oath and knighting ceremony is included, with squires replacing cadets, among other reforms.
☉ In addition, the Queen has seen fit to raise both house Gardios and house Gelmont to noble status, their ancestors to come enjoying the honor and 'cos' particle henceforth. An honor which all of Osrona will remember for generations to come.
☉ Furthermore, the previous royal edict declared by then Princess Eisele will remain in effect as she takes the throne. From this point forth those who commit sedition and treason will be executed without a trial, with no exceptions. There is no room for mockery, nor 'stupid' mercy.
☉ With the honorable demise of the Crown's Champion, Ael cos Gelmont, the Queen has seen fit to name the Stellus, Claramonde akh Gardios, as his successor. She will stand as the Crown's Champion henceforth, and serve as the personal blade of the Queen in disputes where it may be required.

☉ With victory declared at the Battle of Starfall, the Petrakis family is preparing a celebratory gala to be held within the castle. It will be restricted to Osronan citizens, and is not open to allies unless personally invited.
☉ With the loss of Ael cos Gelmont, there is an opening in the Crown's Guard. Interested individuals are urged to speak with the Queen.
☉ The Queen is reportedly looking to promote notable youths to leadership positions, potentially becoming ministers. Those who distinguish themselves as particularly loyal and proactive will be granted authority, but must not ask for it.
