Pasquale Contéfigardo's Acceptance Speech of Election as King of Caligus

17th November 2021

Caligans,

I thank you all deeply, from the bottom of my heart, for the trust that you all have shown by electing me as your new leader. For now, I will be studying and learning the intricacies of this new role of mine, and do not plan to make any major changes to government structure.

As a way of following precedence established by both our previous High King, Matthew, and by others in history before him, I will be stepping down as the general of our armies, in order to keep power of our realm in the hands of many, rather than consolidating it. I hope to see many candidates for the position of general, although I am sure that Marshal Gerard will be a tough candidate to beat for the job, if he runs for it, which I am hopeful that he does.

In addition, due to my loss of the position as lord of Abadan (as I cannot be under Duke Matthew in our heirarchy), I will be appointing myself to the vacant position of Duke that our dear Preston Greer seems to have retired from, in the eastern part of the realm.

My first duty and action will be to assist Marshal Gerard with the policing and containment of Tokat. It is too valuable a region to lose, and my hope is that soon we can recruit a noble or that a new one rises from the ranks of minor nobility to help us secure the area there. Until then, I will be positioning myself in Tokat to help maintain and secure it.

Again, I thank you all for the opportunity to lead you, my people.

Pasquale Contéfigardo

High King, General Supreme of Caligus

Royal of Caligus
