From the hands of the East Kingdom and the councils of the Society, word has come to us—a decree rendered upon a matter of great moment and unity.

Hear ye now this joyful proclamation:
The Shires of Midland Vale and Old Stonebridges are henceforth recognized as Cantons of the Crown Province of Østgarðr. This change takes effect as of this present week, by the will of our Kingdom and in accordance with Society law.

Long have we awaited this union. Through patient labor and a steadfast heart, we now see our efforts fulfilled. In the days to come, we shall amend our records to reflect this joyous joining, but let no delay hinder our celebration.

Thank you to the officers and the populace of Midland Vale and Old Stonebridge for their desire for this union and their support during this process.  Thank you to the East Kingdom for all the help to get this done.  Thank you to the Vicereines, officers and populace of Østgarðr for their patience and encouragement of this unification!

Join us as we attend the 31st annual reading of selections from the Inferno. This year’s reading will take place in the Cathedral’s Crossing and will have some additional multimedia elements. Selected Cantos will be read by a wide variety of individuals. We are transitioning this event and look forward to sharing with everyone our new, creative endeavor. Part of the joy of Dante’s Inferno is its ever-changing adaptations, while remaining true to the heart of this epic presentation.
