<div> I was actually going to post something about this yesterday, but decided not to. Thanks for calling me out Alden :-P. Yes, Ulsted & Ebe will be using "Long live the Queen/King/Ansteorra." This means that during their reign, if you are acting as court herald, please close court this way. If you forget, no big, I'll be doing every court for U&E except for two (or that's the plan at least). I don't know what we will do at Queen's since it will be German (How does Heil Ansteorra sound?).

<br>Their Golden Staff (Brian O'hUilliam) might want to check on if TRHs<br>Ulstead III & Ebergardis wish to use that preference during their reign<br>as well, and relate that info to the heralds' list.<br><br>
