Let it be known to all good gentles of the Province of Østgarðr, the Shire of Midland Vale and the Shire of Old Stonebridges,

From the hands of the Eastern Crown and the councils of the Society, word has come to us—a decree rendered upon a matter of great moment and unity.

Hear ye now this joyful proclamation:
The Shires of Midland Vale and Old Stonebridges are henceforth recognized as Cantons of the Crown Province of Østgarðr. This change takes effect as of this present week, by the will of our Kingdom and in accordance with Society law.

Long have we awaited this union. Through patient labor and a steadfast heart, we now see our efforts fulfilled. In the days to come, we shall amend our records to reflect this joyous joining, but let no delay hinder our celebration.

Thank you to the officers and the populace of Midland Vale and Old Stonebridge for their desire for this union and their support during this process.  Thank you to the East Kingdom for all the help to get this done.  Thank you to the Vicereinces, officers and populace of Østgarðr for their patience and encouragement of this unification!  

Raise your voices and your cups, for on this day, we stand united as One Østgarðr!

Long live the King and Queen of the East!  Long live the Vicereines!  And long live the people of Østgarðr and the East!
