However, equally <BR>recognized is Atlantia's dedication to Service. Therefore, as you <BR>prepare yourselves to serve your Kingdom and Monarchs on the field, I <BR>would ask you to also consider giving some of your time to serve them as <BR>Retainers off of the field.<BR><BR>The duties obligations of the King and Queen are many and varied at War, <BR>and the many hands of Retainers help to make their tasks all the <BR>easier.
