 Today, my fellow members of the Triumvirate, we face a daunting task. We face election of a Major Executive, we are bringing in many unknowns into the union, and we are losing old faces faster than we can replace them. There is only one thing i can say to you, to let you know how to go about things: Embrace them. Let your actions be carried through the history, and let you be the replacement, you be the righteous who’s vote you firmly believe in, and teach the unknowns the way of the Triumvirate, to where they are known.

 The Election of the Major Executive is a time for us all to pause and take what we've learned over the last Trimester, and put it into work for the next one. You may not be able to vote in the process, but one simple endorsement, one simple word to an Executive who can? You can make history in the union, and history never goes away. This is a time of new beginning’s, when all of us look to the future and decide which route to take as a new journey starts for us. This can be fearful and worrisome for many hearts, but embrace it.

 The unknowns piling into this union are one of the great thing we have always wished to accomplish. Not only does this mean we are gaining popularity, but we have dedicated recruiters who serve most of their time finding members for us. This is a great change from this day in history, 1 year ago, for not only were we stagnated, but also didn’t have a Department of Naturalization. A Department which is still empty, and we need filled. This has taken a heavy burden upon us, but others have picked up the slack. I have been recruiting members into this great union for some time now, and it is expected of everyone. After all, there is no hurt in only asking. However, there is a hurt in taking the chance that they would’ve joined if you did. As for the newcomes into the union in the present moment, teach them your knowledge, pass it from generation to generation, person to person, so we might not lose the old ways of the Triumvirate, so we might learn from the past, and more importantly, we can thrive in the future. The future is running towards us, embrace it.

As for the loss of old faces, it’s a time to celebrate their accomplishments, not persecute them for their wrongdoings. One of the most legendary figures in the Triumvirate, Ehtya, has left his post 14 days ago. He has had a legendary career, let him enjoy it, and furthermore, find ways to help him enjoy it, for he has always helped us unconsciously when the time for it arose. Not only does he deserve this, but every person in the Triumvirate who has helped it stay afloat, and who has tried their hardest to make this a luxury, not a burden. People who retire from their posts, especially the ones who care more about the union than themselves, embrace it.

As for everything else, only time will tell. We have a economical issue, one which i am working feverishly to fix in any way possible. We have new forums, new ideals, and a new future. This will not forever be known as the age of repetition, it will forever and always be known as the Age of Change, Chance, and a new prospect of peace and happiness for us all to look at and rejoice.
