[Transmission from Ryte: An older man in military uniform wearing the medals of office sits on the Sun Throne, he holds a staff of gold topped with a giant emerald in the grip of a dragonclaw which is the symbol of his power]
"Greetings to the nations of the world, I am Archduke Ryan IV of House Arthello, I am the glorious ruler of The Ryte Ducal Empire, a small Empire that consists of the Unified Ducal Empire of Ryte, the Fiefdom of Damav, the Commonwealth of Hysolar, and the Protectorate of Niddlemark."
The Archduke takes a breath.
"The Ryte Ducal Empire has existed for over 400 years and has been in a state of isolation from the cares and chaos of the world as it has built up it's wealth and power to create a small but proud Empire. But now I feel that it is time for The Ryte Ducal Empire to take it's place in the world."
The Archduke sips on a glass of water.
"I can hope that The Ryte Ducal Empire will be able to forge friendships with many nations that will be both peaceful and profitable. I bid you all good night from Cyras, the capital of The Ryte Ducal Empire as I sign off now."
Grand Archduke Ryan IV
