Announcement from the Government of the Holy Luthori Empire
This press message was released by the Government of the Holy Luthori Empire. "It is my sad duty to announce that His Most Excellent and Imperial Majesty William V, by the Grace of God the Emperor of Luthori, Alduria, Beiteynu, Yishelem, Namviet, and Talmorschland, and of his other Realms and Territories King, died at four o'clock this morning at the Palace of Oalapiva, Oalapo, at the age of 170. The cause of death was old age.
His Majesty was a wise, perspicacious and steady ruler, who guided the Luthori barque of state with an ease and grace that few could have managed in his place. Although the state did not always follow his leadership - most notably during the dreadful and hated Commonwealth - I found his guidance, in my weekly meetings with his as Seal-Bearer, his statesmanship, his diplomacy and his graciousness an inspiration and a wonder, as so many of us did.
It is also my duty to announce the succession of our new Emperor, is Most Excellent and Imperial Majesty Philip III, by the Grace of God the Emperor of Luthori, Alduria, Beiteynu, Namviet, and Talmorschland, Grand Duke of Orange and Yishelem, and of his other Realms and Territories King, Defender of the Faith, who succeeded his father upon his father's death this morning.
The funeral of the late Emperor is expected to take place in around a month's time."
-Imperial Seal-Bearer His Highness the Grand Duke of Tinako, Henry ScropeSigned,
