[ANSTHRLD] FROM STAR: buckets of new officers, and other fun news!

[Star Principal Herald]

The new Orbis Herald is Lord Eirik Halfdanarson.

Zodiacus (precedence) and Eclipse (central regional) are still open
for applications until June 30. Please send applications to those
officers and myself.

-Emma, Star
(this time for sure!)
