From the King and Queen

Posted on by Roya

Hail, noble populace of our beloved Avacal,

As the sun sets on another glorious war season, we find ourselves amidst the whispers of autumn winds, the rustle of falling leaves, and the gentle embrace of a chilling breeze. The fields, once battlegrounds, are now adorned with the golden hues of ripened crops, ready for harvest. The toil of the land has yielded its bounty, a testament to the enduring spirit of our people. With the harvest moon illuminating our nights, we invite you all to revel in the fruits of your labor. The air is crisp, filled with the aroma of freshly baked bread and the warmth of hearth fires. It’s a time for celebration, a moment to savor the fruits of our collective efforts. As the last sheaf is gathered and the final apple plucked, let us come together to feast, to sing, and to share the stories of our triumphs and challenges.

Yet, with every season, change graces our lands. The sun, now waning, signals not only the end of war but the conclusion of our reign. Our time as your sovereigns draws to a close, and with hearts both full and hopeful, we look towards the future. We invite you to join us in a grand celebration, where we shall crown our heirs – those who will guide our kingdom in the times ahead. It’s a moment of great anticipation, a bridge between the familiar past and the promising unknown. Together, we shall witness the dawning of a new era, a time for fresh ambitions and uncharted adventures.

So, dear friends, let us gather in the warmth of camaraderie and the glow of shared stories. Let us revel in the abundance of the harvest, appreciating the labor that brought us here. Let us bid farewell to the past season and welcome the coming winter with open hearts and open arms.

With love for our kingdom and gratitude for your unwavering support,

Gunther Rorikson, King
Eyoddi Lokadottir, Queen
