Sir Rhadamanthus, The Marquess of Arda, CB, KFB 1370-1600.3
My loving People,
The Kingdom is in the midst of never-before-experienced turmoil. We have become to accept that what is circulated as a rumor, has proven to be true more often than not.
There is no denying - Sir Rhadamanthus, The Marquess of Arda, has died. We have become mortal.Nobody had seen the Marquess since the Event of the Great White Light. It was unnoticed for weeks, as Arda was known to be a peaceful man who seldom appeared in taverns and was mostly tending to his School for Nobles and the plants in the gardens. The school had been closed, and nobody else had time to care about the Botanical Gardens - nor Arda - until...
...the King went to walk in the park (it was slowly becoming warmer) and was thinking what to do with Tavastia, whose palace was constantly reminding him of the scar in the relations, as he saw the Arda Palace as well (The King's Park has only 4 proper palaces lining it - The Royal Palace, the palaces of Arda and Tavastia, and the Jacket Palace belonging to HE The Prince of North Face - Baron sXpher has never had the opportunity to build to his lot, due to his many duties). The King decided to check what's going on with the Marquess and -
found him dead.
It was possible to go unnoticed due to all the servants taking hostage in San Pietro, and Marquess as a kind man probably let them go easily. The King realized a new burden falling on his shoulders. Not only will the Town be in shock because of the mortality, also the practical matters necessarily fall upon the King himself since it is unlikely that in the realm of immortality anyone would have written a will, and the deceased was one of the highest and richest men in the Kingdom, making perhaps the Duke the only other one capable of being the administrator of the huge estate. And he is known to be busy as well.
Oh well, the
time moves slowly in the Kingdom of the Dead, was the King's thought when he started listing the items in the estate:
12,785 CKG
1,730 CKS (receipts only, actual silver is nowhere to be seen)
Rhadamanthus' Palace 1-N, 2 q
Marquess of Arda School for Nobles 1-N, 6 q
The haw and the Botanical Gardens there, 1-NE, 16 q
The skilled workforce
65 gold coins including 3 TH sets that were sold at 10 mil/set until it was suspended but nothing other particularly valuable
1.45 million stone
Perhaps about 400 million worth of stock in 5 companies (trading is halted)
16 unique Items ranging from a 230-year old toybox and 100-year old Grant of Nobility to a carriage, Oil painting, Library and silver chandelier
some fungible silver rings and items including 6 wine cups, 80 CKS each
612 and change million overdraft with HM
What to do with all this wealth? Sir Rhadamanthus' motive for coming to the Kingdom had been to help Monero, and Monero needs helping. Therefore it is clear that the bulk of the proceeds should go towards development. The Marquess also had close relations with the Church, since both had similar missions in promoting and educating new players. The Church has had inspiring changes in management lately, so the Special Institutions might be best nurtured with them. The Palace and some of the items may be best sold right now in an auction, to preserve them from getting (further) spoiled by the Earthquake. The early copper and silver might better wait until itemized properly.
We the King are interested in giving the management of The Monero House to the Order of the Core Team and their appointed representative, upon the condition that the representative can spare enough resources to actually manage it. If their answer is not deemed sufficient, the Gold Selling Plan will occur, where the estate of the Marquess of Arda is incrementally liquidated in order to not affect the market, and sent to the devaddress.
The plans how to preserve the memory of Arda, whether to construct a memorial (other than the fine buildings that already testify of his life and work), will have to mature.
We would be glad to have an obituary from someone who knew him well.
