First Brightening of Optia Era XVI
Serale Citizens
As you will all be aware the kingdom has been granted a gift this brightening. Starting in the capitol Aelyria Prime and spreading out across the kingdom the old road- stock has or is in a state of being repaired. It is not our position to speculate on the reasons behind such a miracle but suffice to say each of us should be grateful to the agency behind this unexpected signal that finally it would appear that the travails of the longest winter seem to be over.
Prince Milo the 1st has directed the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure Development to conduct a survey of the new road-stock across the nation. Thus this open letter to the nation is the beginning of such a process .In view of the urgency of the matter the ministry is taking the unusual step of asking in this forum for all Governors, Thanes and landowners to write directly to the ministry giving a short report on the state of roads in their area. It is important for future planning that we are appraised of the current state of the nations roads.
It was our plan to build new roads across the nation to link cities and provinces but without a comprehensive overview of the nations roads planning and development will be effected.
This “gift” is on initial reflection a boon to the nation , monies and time which would have been devoted to the repair of our winter affected roads can now be diverted to new projects or the repair of the nations building stock. The ministry has already received overtures from interested parties to assist on specific projects but now the ministry would like to hear in writing about other such ambitions within the nation.
All correspondence should be directed to the minister at
Aelyria Prime
In service to the nation
