The
Emperor is Dead—Long Live the Emperor!
The unthinkable has happened—Emperor Golorian
III, the Light of the Empire, died in his sleep last night. The Royal
Chamberlain refused to give many details regarding the Emperor’s death, citing the
privacy of the Imperial family as his main motivator. He did say that the
Emperor has died of natural causes, making this unexpected tragedy even more
shocking.
Crown Prince Gorban will assume the throne
and the name Golorian IV in honor of his late father. He will assume the crown
with a formal public event in the first week of June. All are welcome to
attend; all of Noble birth are expected to attend unless in combat. A separate service
for the members of the Army will be held in September.
Imperial security has been doubled since the
Emperor’s death, as there are some concerns regarding opportunistic enemies of
the Empire. If any suspicious activity is seen anywhere around the palace,
please report it to the Prince’s Guard headquarters immediately.
Wearing of the color black will be encouraged
throughout the month of June on Homeworld and abroad. Pray for the soul of our
good Emperor.
