As all have come to know, Duke Kenric aet Essex has been lost at sea. Like all of you, We feel that there has been a hole made in our Kingdom, in our lives, and in our hearts.It is Our deepest wish to pay Our respects to his beloved wife Duchess Avelina and daughter Lady Aethelthryth, and to attend the memorial service in his honor this coming Saturday. However, We are scheduled to attend Owlsherst Country 12th Night, to pay a visit to the good gentles in one of the farthest corners of this great Kingdom.

It is because Duke Kenric loved this game so that, in his memory and to honor his commitment to our Society, We will still be attending this event. Kenric was a man who showed us how to live life with passion, with sincerity, and with honor. While we mourn his loss, we celebrate his life, and his great love of this game we play and society we cultivate. His family remains most assured of Our love, respect and commitment to their needs. We know they are secure in the hands and hearts of the loving people of the East. (more…)

In Memoriam: Duke Kenric æt Essex

by East Kingdom Gazette

“When righteousness and mercy are associated in the ruler’s authority, he may, while soothing the hearts of his subjects, inspire them with reverence, and, whilst correcting, sooth them. So spoke Alfred, great King of the Saxons, and it is as if he had known Kenric ætEssex.” – From the ducal scroll of Kenric æt Essex

Duke Kenric æt Essex, Knight, Laurel, has been declared lost at sea following a boating accident on Friday, January 12th. Kenric was one of the most highly accomplished and beloved citizens of the East. He and his wife, Avelina Keyes, reigned three times as King and Queen of the East. He was the only person in the history of the East to be inducted into five orders of High Merit. Prior to his first reign as King of the East, he served as East Kingdom Brigantia Herald for four years, then subsequently as Kingdom Chamberlain for two years, and at the time of his death was serving as East Kingdom Marshal of Armored Combat.

Greetings again from the Webministry of the Kingdom of the East!

We made a big push to try and get half of the branches within the Kingdom migrated over to Google for Nonprofits before the end of the year. The schedule is locked in, and sadly we are going to miss that target by 2. However, we’re going to manage to have 5 1/2 Kingdom Offices moved over as well, and our original target by 12/31 was not to have started those yet at all. So out of 62 branches, 11 Kingdom Offices, 3 event sites, and 9 guilds, we will have moved 29 branches and 5.5 Kingdom Offices. (Yes, a previous post said 67 branches. We realized that 5 of them were inactive.) (more…)
