And we have a new Shire May Queen!  - Gazette Issue 5 - 1425 S.R.

This year's Shire May Queen is known to you all as Granmama! She won the election this year, despite her senior age. In fact, all candidates have been around for many a year now. But what happened when Nannie wanted to announce the King? None of the candidates was present! So Nannie decided to keep the results of that election to herself. It looks like there will be no Shire May King this year. Miss, now Princess, Almi, the other candidate who was at the election, promised Queen Granmama that she'd help here with her tasks at any Royal request.

Not much is known about our new Shire Queen, so I have written to her requesting an audience with the purpose of interviewing her on behalf of our readers, so that you may learn more about who she is and how she sees her new function.
