THE ABDICATION OF VELEN
Issued by the Margrave of Velen, Count of Cantal, Viscount of the Aschenwald, etc ANNO DOMINI 1986
It has been fifty one years since the passing of my mother and my inheritance that soon followed. I have worked diligently to ensure that Velen and the Aschenwald prosper, but I have grown old and cannot work as I used to. It is time I step down from my position as Margrave and pass it unto one more capable than I. I believe that my son and heir, Leufroy Otto, the Count of Revedin, is more than ready to inherit the mantle of Margrave of Velen and lead the House of Reuss. Once this missive is published, my son shall hold all my titles. Let this publication be known as the official announcement of my abdication.
His Lordship, Siegmund I RKTVOOBE ROKSG, Margrave of Velen, Count of Cantal, Viscount of the Aschenwald, Baron Mons Velena, Alsace, and the Arentania, Lord of Kostritz, Patriarch of the House von Reuss, Elector of Velen, Protector of the Aschenwald peoples.
