Editing 2026 Realmspresident/Ruler Election (section)

=== Leutgard's Final Address ===
The ceremony concluded with an announcement from Leutgard, who addressed the community and called upon its members to unite behind the new Ruler. He confirmed Pandenulf's appointment and emphasized that the Supreme Command had sworn its allegiance to the new Ruler, with the wider community expected to follow.

Leutgard also confirmed DerSpiess's new position as Realmsprotector and called upon both the old and new leadership to work together in guiding Teutonnia through the changes ahead.

It was a rare sight to have the Eternal Ruler back, but for such an important event in the history of our Realms, it could not have taken place without him. Interpreters have concluded his address as potentially being a final one to the community, with a heavy emphasis on unity, loyalty to the new Ruler, and avoiding further internal divisions. 

The announcement ended with the slogans:

'''PANDENULF PREVAILS'''

'''DEFEND DERSPIESS'''

'''LONG LIVE LEUTGARD!'''
