For Announcement and Subsequent Eyes-Only Release
Regarding the Return to Stability and Prosperity
Seattle, Washington, United States, North America - 10 March, 2017
To follow in the declaration of Praxis Seizure on the third of March, herein are the announcements regarding the status of the Emerald Domain and its intended future. For several months, we have been without a recognized Prince -- by Praxis claim or through belief of the populace -- and with the declaration of Praxis Seizure one week ago by tradition both of time untold and of the Tradition of the Ivory Tower, Seattle is henceforth claimed.
Since the demise of Genii Cucullatti, the Domain has fallen into an increased state of disrepair, most evidenced by the difficulty of finding sufficient sustenance increasing by the night, as the borders of the Emerald Domain have become blurred, both shrinking in places and disappearing in others. In addition, it has been found that some portion of the population of the cities have been slowly siphoned out of Seattle and its suburban surroundings. While a portion of this has been mitigated by drawing in the population of surrounding areas, the perpetrator of these lengthy acts have not been identified during the increasing turmoil inside what borders we maintain.
We have been plagued by individuals who draw other entities to the domain. Beings identifiable by a rarefied few, and honored by even less, and only for fleeting power that they know little of, and put at risk each of those around them. These actions have left repercussions further risking each aspect of the domain’s population, and are the source of violent act after violent act most are aware of and many have borne witness to the aftermath.
For too long has the Emerald of North America been without adequate leadership, as the sins of its past have plagued its denizens and the administration of its devoted been ill maintained. While it is likely to cause some discomfort in those unaccustomed to the expectations of more traditional courts, patience and understanding are requested towards the changes and structure to come; they are intended to better the livelihoods of each and all of the Ivory Tower’s loyal subjects, with benefit both long and short, material and intangible.
All are expected to make action towards the betterment of Seattle and its surroundings. Those of lower standing will be asked of evidence more regularly, no more often than once each lunar cycle and of less meaningful effect, while those of higher standing will be expected to produce a meaningful benefit to the Domain once each season. Those who have been granted Position and maintain the expectations therein are not subject to this, as the fulfillment of their duties will directly benefit the Domain. Those incapable of exacting beneficial actions for the Domain will be expected to provide tribute in proportion to their standing, to be given as needed to those maintaining Position, who will utilize denizen’s abilities as best suited to the directive being assessed. Individuals who go above and beyond in these acts, fulfilling more than the base requirements for residence within the Domain, will find grant of personal holdings of territory, position, or standing, dependent on consistency, individual, and task(s) completed.
There are many within the domain who are unaccustomed to the standards of a stable, productive city. To address that, it is encouraged that those without direction engage the City and its Officers for insight or mentorship for what they may do to better themselves and the city. It is likewise encouraged that those who are capable of gathering the capabilities, concerns, or feelings of the Domain make that ability known, for it is from these that Primogen will be drawn from. Until such a time as those of sound council are found, respected Elders of the Nomads and Seers will be consulted as needed and are welcomed to voice the concerns of their blood.
It is the intention, that during this Praxis tenure, Seattle find its stability and its population made prosperous and secure, however that can only be accomplished for the individual and the Ivory Tower alike with the faith and participation of its denizens.
As announced six days ago, the positions of the city are as follows: Klaus von Klempt of the Patricians will fulfill the duties of Seneschal, to which he is well suited in personal ability and made stronger by that of his lineage. Whiskey will return to her duties as the Sheriff, while Vincent of the Artisans will maintain Elysium as its Keeper. Until others are found capable of holding gatherings and salons, it is likely that any such convocation will be arranged by his capable direction, as well. The Zealot Eric Locke will secure and maintain our borders as Warden, as he has proven capable of prior to being appointed to any Title within the domain, something that I would not be surprised to see as a byproduct of his stay within Queen Anne’s holdings. Each the Sheriff and Warden will be seeking a Scourge to assist in specialized tasks within their respective areas of influence, and it is encouraged that those of ability and interest make themselves known. Proclamations will be made by Laura Astor of the Patricians, as well as oversight of the Boon economy, fulfilling both the Chancellor and Herald responsibilities.
Appointments for audience should be made through the Seneschal primarily, with other offices suitable of elevation in their respective areas of expertise. To state the expectation clearly, there are no members of the Ivory Tower that will be left alone in these nights, and so long as each accepted and acknowledged denizen of the domain works towards the same overarching goals, the load will be lightened and all will find their existence more prosperous within borders made more secure.
Court will first be held 25 March, 2017, with Accounting by Clan, Position, and the first weeks of progress made evident.
By my hand and word,
Oberon Gault
Prince of Seattle
