Ambassador to Animus, and confers upon her an honour guard of seven legions of
Amber troops ‘to ensure her safety as she travels to take up this new diplomatic
mission’.
He also confirms the resignation of Princess Fiona from the position of Mistress
of the Arcane of Amber, and expresses the heartfelt thanks of the Kingdom for her
long and dedicated service.
He also confirms the appointment of the Princess Alexandra (more regularly known
as Sand) as the new Mistress of the Arcane of Amber, and welcomes her to the

He also confirms the granting of the title Lady of Amber upon Lady Kendra Debayle,
the daughter of Princess Sand, who has come to Amber with her mother (Any

wife of Julian, is purely coincidental. It is known that Sand’s mother was Harla
Bayle, mistress of Oberon during Dybelle’s reign as Queen).
He also announces that there will be a new festival to be inaugurated at the new

Thelbane in any way.
He does express thanks his thanks to Queen Claire of Sable, also goddess of
healing in Eboracum, and all those who assisted her, in recognition of the great
service she has recently done for all of existence. He declines to mention what
that service might have been.
