The Retirement of Selene Whisper

Posted by Bliss on 07/21/18
To the Compact of Arvum,

There are many things we take in life as constants. Yet even these are shaped by Lagoma's flame, and as much as we hate it at times, all good things must come to an end. Whisper House is no exception. Even we must say goodbye.

Let it be known that, after six years of dedicated service in one of the most difficult, demanding roles that any can take in the Compact, Selene Whisper has stepped down from the position of Radiant. She remains a valued member of Whisper House, and her contributions to the good of Arvum cannot be understated. We will miss her wise leadership, effortless grace, and indescribable charm. We are the lesser for her having stepped down. She has been part of a great tradition stretching from Caithness Anthy to the current day, and her insightful guidance during these years of crisis has helped shape the Compact in ways too numerous to mention.

Yet we must move on. As of tonight, Whisper House has begun its internal selection process for a new Whisper, headed by the two current Softests, Bliss and Saedrus Whisper. We ask that all current business be sent to them, while Gelassen Whisper will take the role of interim Radiant to handle all of our internal business.

As part of the process of selection, Bliss Whisper (who is recusing herself from the candidacy for the position of Radiant) will be taking on a similar role to the Advocate of the Thirteenth, and will be reaching out to many in the city to try to determine the true nature of our selected candidates, in order that we might consider the ill, as well as the good. Any information received will adhere to the strictest secrecy of Whisper House.

Thank you again, Selene.

Soft Whispers, Harder Hearts.
