Your Majesty, Ladies, Lords and friends, It is with great honour that I invite you to the island of Sarnia part of the Barony of The Sundered Isles in the Duchy of Winchester for a great feast and celebration at Yule. Sarnia has risen from the sea, where it rested under the protection of Manannan hidden away from the prying eyes of Calligar and Dolorous waiting for the worthy to reclaim it. I have led the charge for the return of my homelands over the seas and in no small part to the dedication, strength, guile and sacrifice of both the Harts and our Allies it has been returned, like a symbol for how Albion is rising from destruction cresting a wave with renewed vigour.

Yule is a time of rebirth, a time to reaffirm old allegiances, a time to celebrate that which you have gained and a time to remember those that we lost. It is with that in mind that I open the doors to the great hall of Sarnia, surrounded by the beautiful rose gardens that the island is famous for.

I look forward to seeing you and drinking with you and remember it’s an old Albion tradition to bring your host large expensive presents!

Yours faithfully

Baron Jasper Orlaine of the Sundered Isles, Lord Admiral of Albion, Master of the Perfect, Storm Lord of Manannan

My dearest and beloved countrymen, our dearest friends, Albion prevails! We have withstood assaults on our bodies, our minds and our land. We have overcome it all. We have taken back Winchester, Marchwood and most recently Warwick. Albion is ours. Now it has come to light through Lord Admiral Jasper that the islands of Sarnia and Orlaine have returned to us from beneath the waves completing our realm. At his invitation we will travel to Sarnia for a celebration of all we have achieved, and at what better time. Yule is soon upon us and we have much to celebrate.

To everyone who thought this would be the Fall of Albion I say no. It is time to celebrate, eat, drink, toast, remember the fallen and rejoice in our victories. We will take Sarnia and Orlaine as an example to us all; there will be no Fall, Albion Rises!

Queen Eloise Hunter
