To all who dwell within the borders of Arandor, and to any who may seek entry from beyond:
By direct order of Her Majesty, Queen Ninvere Lanreci, and with full authority granted to the Office of the Magistrate:
Arandor has formally entered a period of mourning.
We grieve the loss of one who stood as a pillar of our people—a guardian, a mentor, and a voice of resolve in times both dark and bright. Their passing has left a silence in our home that no words can fill.
Effective immediately:
The borders of Arandor are now closed to all outsiders until further notice.
This measure is not born of anger, nor distrust, but from a solemn need to allow our people the space and time to mourn in peace—without outside interruption or curiosity.
Exceptions for emergency diplomatic envoys or matters of critical urgency will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and require prior sanction from this office.
During this time, I ask all within Arandor to show one another patience, kindness, and respect for the quiet that grief demands.
When the time comes, our gates will reopen—carrying with them the memory and honor of the one we now mourn.
Until then:
Let none disturb the peace.
By my hand and seal,
In service to Her Majesty and to the people of Arandor,
Elion Miradove
Magistrate of Arandor
