As it has become abundantly clear to me that I will not have the time or energy to do an effective job in this position, I informed his Majesty several days ago of my intention to step aside for someone with greater ability and passion.

My decision takes effect immediately.

I will continue to stand and serve Hyperion for the time being, although in what capacity long-term I have yet to decide.

My best wishes to the Curia and the Lords, and to my successor. I know you'll all do a bang-up job.

Yours,
Nira
