The Royal Court of the Kingdom of Rizia

To the Esteemed Subjects of Rizia,

To the nobility, distinguished leaders, and the revered subjects of the far-reaching corners of the Kingdom of Rizia, greetings, and prosperity.

In the tradition of our ancestors, whose wisdom has guided our realm through the ages, and in acknowledgment of the enduring spirit of our people, it is with great honor that we announce a momentous occasion in the history of our beloved kingdom.

The Coronation of King Romus Toras

As the celestial of stars Wruhecism aligns and the natural world heralds a change, Rizia stands on the brink of a momentous occasion: the ascension of King Romus Toras, the fifteenth of his line, a ruler whose fate is deeply interwoven with the future and the enduring heritage of our kingdom. This historic coronation is set to unfold within the ancient walls of Palace Rezna in Porte Drazon on the 25th of March, 1950. The event will begin with a majestic procession through the city, culminating in a ceremony rich with age-old rites as the king-elect is solemnly anointed and vows to uphold his sacred duty to our land and its people.

We invite every subject within our borders to join us in this celebration, to stand as one community, one family, under the banner of our new king. The gates of Palace Rezna will open at dawn, welcoming all to share in the pomp, pageantry, and profound sense of continuity that this day will bring.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Royal Decree

To the Esteemed Subjects of Porte Drazon,

It is with a heart burdened by profound grief that the Royal House of Toras communicates the sorrowful news of the demise of His Royal Majesty, King Valero. On the evening of the eighteenth of November in the year nineteen hundred and forty-nine, our sovereign lord was discovered unresponsive in his royal chambers. Despite the swift and diligent efforts of the royal physicians, it was determined that he had been taken from us by a sudden malady, believed to be a grievous affliction of the heart.

In his twilight hours, our revered monarch entrusted to us a vision for the future of our beloved realm — a future wherein the Kingdom of Rizia, under the aegis of House Toras, shall endeavor to reclaim its former majesty and glory. It was his fervent hope that in unity and through our collective efforts, we may steer our nation towards a new era of prosperity and renown.

Under his final wishes and as a testament to his enduring love and commitment to our kingdom, a period of national mourning is hereby declared. Let our flags be lowered to half-mast across all lands within our sovereignty as a mark of respect and remembrance for our departed king.

May his soul find eternal rest.

Long live the king.

Decree issued by House Toras

By the authority of the New Monarch

The Grand Dutchy of Pales, 12th March 1948

Today, the Grand Duchy of Pales witnessed the coronation of its new ruler, Duke Axel Reinhart, following the abdication of his brother Duke Njolma amidst tensions over language policies. Duke Axel Reinhart's ascension is met with hope for unity, especially among the Rizian-speaking population, who view him as a figure of reconciliation. The ceremony, attended by dignitaries from Lespia, Agnolia and other nations, signals a potential shift in regional diplomacy, with Duke Axel Reinhart's popularity offering an opportunity to improve relations between Pales and its neighbors.

The declaration of Pales City as an ESCAN Heritage Site underscores the nation's commitment to preserving cultural ties, providing a foundation for fostering better understanding with Rizia. With the region watching closely, Duke Axel's reign holds the promise of peace and prosperity, with potential for diplomatic overtures and trade agreements that could reshape the dynamics between Pales and its neighbors.

Kingdom Mourns Princess Lena

Rizia, Monday, Sep. 1, 1942 - In a sorrowful announcement that has plunged the Kingdom of Rizia into mourning, Lena Toras, Princess of Rumburg and Princess Consort of Rizia cherished for her philanthropy and kindred spirit, was killed following a harrowing sailing accident. The tragedy unfolded yesterday in the Gulf of Valenqiris in the heart of a sudden tempest that ravaged the sea during the celebration of Princess Vina's 10th birthday. Despite valiant efforts by the ship's captain and a swift rescue operation by the coast guard, Princess Lena's injuries proved fatal, and she passed away at the hospital.

The royal family, overwhelmed with grief, has extended their gratitude towards the rescuers and medical personnel for their unwavering dedication and implores the public for privacy as they navigate through this profound loss. The entire kingdom is united in grief, honoring the Princess. As a sign of respect and mourning, flags across Valenqiris have been lowered to half-mast, marking the commencement of a mourning period for the dearly missed Princess Lena.

Stay tuned for more updates!
