Words of the Coronet

December 18, 2025: Facebook Post

Ansteorrans,

We are overwhelmed with joy and gratitude at the opportunity to be the next heirs to the Stellar Throne. This honor is humbling beyond words, and we accept it with full hearts, clear eyes, and a deep sense of responsibility.

This victory does not belong to us alone. It belongs to every fighter who tested us, every voice that offered counsel, every hand that steadied us, and every friend who believed—sometimes more fiercely than we did ourselves. You have shaped us, sharpened us, and carried us to this moment.

We swear to serve with courage, fairness, and love for this kingdom and its people. May our tenure be marked by listening before speaking, empathy before pride, and service above all else. We look forward to walking this path with you and to honoring the trust you have placed in us.

In love and service to Ansteorra,
Prince John and Princess Vittoria

April 2026 Black Star

Unto the beloved Populace of the Kingdom of Ansteorra, From John and Vittoria, Prince and Princess:

Greetings and our warmest regards.

As the season turns and the roads grow busy with banners and armor, our thoughts turn with great anticipation toward Gulf Wars. The gathering of so many of our people - fighters, artisans, teachers, and dreamers alike - is a reminder of the strength and beauty of this Kingdom we love. We look forward to standing beside you on the field and in the halls, celebrating the skill, fellowship, and joy that make Ansteorra shine so brightly among the Known World.

Even as we prepare for the labors and revels of Gulf Wars, our hearts also turn toward April, when we will take up the responsibilities of the Stellar Throne. The weeks ahead promise both great celebration and great work, and we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to serve the Kingdom in the fullness of that role.

In the weeks ahead, we hope to see many of you beneath the bright sun of war and in the courts and camps that follow. Know that we are eager to listen, to learn, and to work alongside you as we prepare for the reign to come.

Until we meet again upon the field or road, we remain

Yours in service to the Dream,
John and Vittoria
Prince and Princess of Ansteorra
