It has been my honor, if perhaps not /quite/ my pleasure, to lead Kennex through its troubles in the wake of the Breakshackle massacre and into its rise as a duchy. I am proud of what we have accomplished, and I am humbled by the grace of the Compact. It has been a long and difficult road, and one I can't say I've ever envisioned travelling.
It is unfortunate that the resurgence of House Kennex corresponded so closely with the continued rise in unrest on Arvum, piracy in the Mourning Sea, and smuggling in the Lowers. With those troubles and more brewing like a storm on the horizon, the Crown Court is the busiest that it's ever been.
When two duties compete, one must eventually cede to the other. Be it with intent, through neglect, or by order, something will eventually fall by the wayside and be discarded. In my case, this has been sleep. My attempts to give the time required to rulership of an archaepelago and guidance of the court have resulted in the decline of my health.
At noon tomorrow, Lord Aethan will assume the mantle of the Regent of the Stormward Isles. I will remain as Duke Darion's salt mother and guardian, but I will no longer have a hand in the rule of House Kennex. This was a decision that I have agonized over, but ultimately I believe that my higher duty lies to the Crown and the City. I have full confidence in my cousin to lead our house until Darion is old enough to rule.
The winds of change are ever at our backs.
