THE PASSING OF THE THRONE
7th of the Sun's Smile, 115 S.A.
To the Hyspian people and whomever else it may concern,
For decades I have ruled the Viceroyalty of Hyspia to the best of my ability. I oversaw the resettlement of Niseep and the construction of Ciudad de Plata, and attempted to preserve our people and culture to the best of my ability. In recent times I fear it has become increasingly difficult to continue my efforts - primarily due to my uncertain health. It is thus time that I pass on my Viceroyal Throne to my firstborn and heir, Crown-Prince Francisco de Pelear. Effective immediately once this missive is published, Crown-Prince Francisco shall take the title of Francisco I, Viceroy of Hyspia and shall serve as the new Patriarch of House de Pelear and Baron of Arenisca. I shall remain in Hyspia in a purely advisory role and shall thusly be known as Viceroy-Emeritus. I have total faith in the abilities of my Son, and in time I am certain he shall lead our People into a new golden age.
Signed,
His Highness, Cesar de Pelear, Viceroy-Emeritus of Hyspia
His Highness, Francisco I, Viceroy of Hyspia, Baron of Arenisca, Lord of Niseep, Gereon's Hold, and Ciudad de Plata, Protector of the Hyspian People, Patriarch of House de Pelear
