Imperial Proclamation: Death of Emperor Owlan! Accession of Vermilion Prince Eldunar!

It is of the saddest news, that I must report the death of our fair, sovereign, Owlan Ezofuji-no-Tsukiyomi, Emperor of our Great Nation for 16 years, and Fire Lord for 13. Emperor Owlan, founder of our Great Land of the Sun, is survived by his children, Vermilion Princesses Alyssandra and Izanami Ezofuji-no-Tsukiyomi, and Vermilion Princes Izanagi and Raijin Ezofuji-no-Tsukiyomi. His wife, Empress Dowager Theirastra is also alive to survive her husband. Owlan shall be remembered posthumously as Emperor Shinsei.

On a second note, with the sudden death of our Most Beloved Monarch, we must announce the joy we feel at the accession of his brother, Vermilion Prince Eldunar, former Regent Lord of Ember Island, to the Vermilion Throne. As Emperor Shinsei's children are too young to ascend the throne themselves, future Emperor Eldunar shall take the throne until such a time that an heir is old enough to take the throne.

A public funeral is to be held within the day, and shall be open to all citizens of all nations, and the monarchies and nobility of all nations as well.

The Emperor is dead, long live the Emperor!
