From the Viceregents
I must admit, I dropped the ball.
Usually, I’m all about sharing the awesome stuff our community does, but after having a blast cheering on our fighters at 100 Minutes War, I totally spaced on coming back to spread the joy and pride of the day.
Furthermore, I failed to communicate the well-deserved recognition bestowed upon two of our esteemed citizens by Their Majesties.
Congratulations to Zahra de Andaluzia for her induction into the Order of the Maunche and Abu-Duruz Ibrahim al-Rashid ibn Musa al-Rashid for his induction into the Order of the Golden Rapier. Their achievements are truly commendable, and I apologize for not promptly celebrating and sharing these moments of honor and accomplishment.
