Citizens of Gavaria,
As events of great import continue to occur, her Majesty Queen Pavia wishes to release the following statements.
Thanks to the overwhelming support of the Atupali, the Cleansing of Passwall has been an overwhelming success. The Undeath which has held the duchy for thirty years has finally been dispelled, and the land revitalized. With the Undead gone, the matter of a new Duke is at hand.
Due to recent discoveries regarding private actions taken by Count Uralis Tillbane, the Crown has seen fit to strip him of all titles and render his bid to the Ducal seat null and void. While his actions were illegal and a betrayal of royal trust, they were ultimately in service to Passwall. For this reason a heavier sentence has not been rendered. The former Count has proven himself too valuable a resource to squander and so he will serve as a Counselor to the future Duke of Passwall.
This would render Count Tanno the de-facto Duke, however at the overwhelming plea and support of the Atuplai, the crown is considering a third option, Sir Draco Ardel. Sir Ardel has resided with the Atupali since their arrival in Gavaria and has been a fierce ally against the undead of Passwall. While his accomplishments are too many to list here, the Crown holds certain reservations in appointing him to a position of such high import and power when he has only resided within Gavaria a few years. In recognition of his deeds and the deeds of the Atupali, the crown will allow him to prove his worth as a Ducal candidate over the course of the next year.
In accordance with Her Majesty's previous decree, a respectable amount of time has passed and Countess Zelina Thorn has been recognized as the Duchess of Atish. This also comes at the passing of former Duke Nolan. Though this comes as a sadness to us all, we are glad that he passed painlessly in his sleep.
A new threat has made itself known, styling itself as ‘The House of Zaal’ these individuals have openly defied Gavaria in aligning themselves with the entity known as Shar Zaal. Not all individuals of this organization have been identified, though any who claim allegiance to it are hereby designated traitors to the realm and are sentenced to permanent death. Two known individuals are former Countess Ryland Lokrum of Nyra and Seamus ‘Skipper’ Miranda. The former has been missing for many years and how that she has resurfaced she is officially stripped of her former titles. The latter recently escaped royal custody and has been summarily returned to royal custody. Due to his extremely dangerous nature and the multiple near miss incidents while he was in custody, he has been deemed too dangerous to keep and executed. His whereabouts following his resurrection are unknown.
