Electing A New Crafters Guildmaster
Posted by Joscelin on 05/26/19
To My Beloved City of Arx,
The Crafters Guild, as some of come to learn it, isn't just an organization of commerce and trade. It's a haven to artists, a support system built on trust and encouragement, the foundations of worship to Jayus spreading and evolving into something both practical and enlightening. To lead them and protect them has been my blessing and honor, and I cannot express the warmth it gives me to have watched them grow and flourish these last six years. As a mother now, I understand better what it is to feel, to love, watching something you have tended start to evolve and grow and succeed as only you could have dreamed.
With that, change is inevitable, it is healthy, it is growth, and these half dozen years as the Guildmaster of the Crafters has taught me that and so much more.
The honor given to me by my people, elected into office during a time of turmoil and unease, is one I can never repay except in seeing the tradition continue, and offer a new hand to take the wheel and learn and love and grow as I did.
It is with pleasure at my service, pride in my Crafters, joy in offering this to another, and with the blessing of the Crown, that I announce the opening for the election of a new Guildmaster of the Crafters Guild.
Over the next fortnight [OOC: One RL week] I will be taking nominations, with the rules of such and the election posted to the Crafters themselves. After that, voting will begin, with a brief transition period before the newly nominated Guildmaster takes their place.
It has been my honor to serve the Crafters and the city both. I look forward to stepping down and watching another lead and experience the pride and love that I have.
With my sincerest gratitude and a heart full of joy,
Joscelin K. Arterius

Guildmistress Joscelin's tireless service to Arx and furthering the arts deserves the highest praise. We are the richer for her creativity and innovation.
