It comes with great sadness that I write this post to the public boards,
but the time has come for me to retire from the Ivory Mark.

I would like to think that over the course of my time serving the Ivory,
I have been strong in upholding the virtues that being a Champion stands
for. Serving those who are not yet strong enough to fight for their own
cause, to teach, to mentor, and to be an active figurehead for Princess
Atlantia's organisation. I have fought and died for many and hope I
rewarded those who have put their faith in me with the justice they
deserve. While in my heart, the battle with the Assassins will go on, my
time as a combatant has passed and I will spend my time following other
pursuits, I will also be mentoring those who wish to join the ranks of
the Ivory. I feel I can leave the Ivory with my head held high, and hope
I have done the City of Hashan, the Sect of the Black Lotus and the
memory of Lord Makarta proud.

There are many who deserve public recognition for the help and support
they have afforded me during recent times, Entaro, Griffel, Osek and
Caelan to name but a few. May you stand strong as a fellow Champion.

For those that have current contracts with me, you will be compensated
accordingly.

In service to service to Princess Atlantia,
Master Sobriquet Storm.
