A Very Important Announcement

[Eliza Creststeel]

Bart,

You and I have been friendly acquaintences, if not quite close mates this past year or so, but our guilds are very intertwined and you've been very gracious and respectful as I have tried to be in return. We've done countless events together and many in the ETC consider BBK to be family.

One of our major tenets has been always been - REAL LIFE FIRST.

In stepping away, I fully support that you're doing what you have to for your family and I will happily go to the mat to defend your decision. I could never imagine that someday I may be in the same position and have to ask someone to keep the helm for me while I am away. I could also never imagine who I would ask to do so. You had three of the best officers I've met in Caribbean to choose from, it doesn't get any harder but you had to make the call.

I'm mates with all three of them and I'm here to support Charlotte in any way I can, as well help Li and True.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you, Bart. Your pirate family is much bigger than BBK and we're all behind you.

Much hope and care,
Eliza T. Creststeel
