[Eosric]

Greetings, subjects and visitors to my realm.

I, the great Emperor Eosric of the Ta'ecelle, am in something of a quandary. My tailors, it seems, have rebelled, and upon this fine morn, I found my precious wardrobe set afire!

Now, now, good people, I assure you, justice will be done, you need not trouble yourselves with these grim tidings. However! As you can plainly see, I require a replacement of raiment, and while there is a certain majesty to Imperial nudity, alas, I fear my senators will take umbrage should I attend the high council thus on display.

So! I am issuing a proclamation, a great tourney of needle and thread, the grand melee of stitch and counter stitch! You shall strive and struggle against each other to craft clothing worthy of your glorious lord!

And the winner, the champion of seam and hem, shall have the honor, the exaltation, of dressing my glorious self!

*what's that you say? Oh, all right!*

*ahem*

My steward wishes me to inform you that the champion shall receive grand remuneration for their services.

Thank you, good people. I shall eagerly attend your efforts.
