Hi. Apologies for the lateness of this announcement, but for reasons I'll soon explain I was unable to post this earlier. I'm out of the country in England visiting my girlfriend (Armelia as she is known here), and will not be paying a lot of attention to non-essential messages or e-mail until the 22nd of December when I return. I do apologize for not announcing this earlier, but I couldn't, as I surprised her for her birthday by turning up unexpectedly. In any case, I will be checking my messages and e-mail daily, but please do not send me anything that is not _essential_ , as you risk getting your message or e-mail ignored.

Anyway, once again, my apologies for the short notice! Also, I should mention that a rather major and (in my and everyone who has seen the design document) rather cool addition to Achaea will go in soon after I return.

Penned by my hand on the 24th of Aeguary, in the year 265 AF.
