____________________
The great flame of the White Tower has lost its intensity, the vibrancy it once had becoming a dim shadow of its former self. This is for the Tsar, Aleksei Ivanov, has fallen and is lost to the vast lands of the Hellscape.
Whilst his heir, Xandar Dranovich von Ivanov will officially take his place as Tsar, the Regent, Matthias von Ivanov will be acting Tsar in all matters until the young heir is sixteen years of age or the Exalted returns. This change in leadership encompasses all lands of House Ivanov, the Keepers of the Veil and Inquisition, and the Grand Archives and is effective immediately.

[OOC: Aleksei is gone, Xandar is heir now but Matthias is leader because Xandar is too young. Excuse any mistakes in writing I'm not 100% well]
