Transcript:
The strength of Our Kingdom comes from its people, without whom there would
be no Kingdom to rule.
These are Our words, spoken the day of Our coronation.
The responsibility We bear for this is moving and profound.
Our love for An Tir is immeasurable, and Our desire is for the welfare and
safe keeping of Our people, through all adversity.
This is the Oath and commitment We spoke, and We will maintain this for as
long as We are blessed to rule these lands.
These are unprecedented times, which lead to taking unprecedented action.
We are continuing to move forward, following conservative community safety
projections, and at this time We are announcing the cancellation of events
within An Tir, through the month of May.
This, of course, will include the cancellation of Our May Crown Tournament.
You can be assured, planning and preparations have already taken place with
Our Seneschalate and events teams to reformat July Coronation to include the
Crown Tournament on that day.
We have absolute faith in Our teams to be able to conduct this combined
event with great success. We will continue to monitor the current events as
We reach out to health professionals on all levels, to understand this
reality we are collectively facing.
We ask you to remain hopeful, as we look toward our possible return to the
community and events we all wish to enjoy, together again.
I know that many would like to know how long this will last. We are all
wondering when we are going to be able to see our friends, hug our loved
ones, or be able to come together in fellowship and celebration. We would
like to be able to tell you exactly when this will be over, but the reality
is that it will depend on each and every one of us.
The best way to minimize the impact of COVID-19 is to continue to follow
public health directives.
Stay home as much as possible, limit your movements, and if you absolutely
must leave home, keep a respectful distance.
If we continue to do our part, We promise you we will get through this.
As this concern develops, We will continue to reach out to you all, to speak
on the state of Our Kingdom and keep you informed on what direction We will
be taking to bring Our Society and Our Kingdom back together.
Through these hard times, We take great pride in seeing the collective
outpouring of strength and support from Our Kingdom, for all those across
the Knowne World.
The efforts taken to connect with each other through online platforms, and
the innovation Our Kingdom has shown to fill the hearts of many with the
love of our game, is like nothing We have ever experienced before.
We implore you to continue to take fellowship remotely with friends and
loved ones, and to lead with creative and exciting new ways to share with
others, as you have done.
This is what we need to hold through this difficult time, and this is key to
how we will come back stronger afterwards.
But most of all, We ask you to take heart – An Tir is strong, and we will
come through this to meet each other again, soon.
