Ketchum Family/Ash/Judge Retirement Last Letter in July 2012

Letter from Ash Ketchum (just in) After much consideration, I have decided to step down. I wont be running for next Judge election.

Juggling responsibilities as Judge and Ambassador at same time has taken a toll on my body and my health. Besides, my age is not getting younger. My Healer had advise me to take it easy and be more relaxing.

Overall I just want to focus completely on my Ambassador role and working together with Ruler on Oritolon diplomacy side. Diplomacy is not something to be taken lightly. So I plan to devote my time fully to work on it.

This decision is taken with heavy heart.

I am sure there are many Nobles in Oritolon who are eager and want to contribute to our realm. There are many creative suggestion put forward recently. Young Sir Robin has been engaging in discussion to Inner Circle to move Oritolon forward. Sir Remi is another such noble who raised quite many points during our discussion on religion. Even our Minister of War Gellin is a good Marshal. He has the vision for the army. There are many other Nobles who work quietly behind the scene. Minister of Finance Moros for example, he ensure our food supply and demand are meet, along with financial needs. These are the young Oritolon Nobles and they have the vision to move forward. There are too many to be mentioned here.

I am hoping that my early announcement will prepare the realm candidates for Judge election vacancy next month. I will still be here to give advice and suggestion as needed.

For Oritolon!

Ash Ketchum Minister of Justice of Oritolon, Ambassador of Oritolon
