Sorry, I'm a little confused about this intermarrying thing - i understand the part about keeping the name of the other players prince/princess, what i'm a bit hazy about is the naming of the children. Am i right in assuming that we each come up with our own names for the children of the intermarried couple or do we share?

---

I'm going to go ahead and give them my own names, if i've done this incorrectly can you let me know and i'll change it?

Thanks for the great game once again! :)

Time Flies!

Firstly Viktor and Fernanda had three more children; Rudolph, Antonia and Maximilian. Unfortunately Rudolph - a very sickly child - died within a few weeks of his birth. This saddened the royal family greatly. Their grief became almost unbearable when the gentle Princess Cosima contracted measles in the huge epidemic which swept the country. Princess Fernanda was inconsolable. She did not leave the palace grounds for two years - she did not even attend the wedding of Prince Conrad to Princess Adelina of Sokolov (this nearly caused an international incident).

---

The measles epidemic which swept through Europe ravaged Assendorp and many people died. After the disease claimed Princess Cosima, Prince Viktor declared that he was going to build a brand new hospital in Assendorp Town in her memory, with a wing dedicated to finding an antibiotic cure to measles. So even though she is no longer with us the memory of the beautiful and kind Cosima lives on.

Despite the hard times it has not all been doom and gloom at the Royal Palace. There have been four Royal Weddings...

---

Prince Kasimir married a very very distant cousin on his mother's side, Princess Olivia of Provenzcano. The engagment was arranged to stengthen the alliance between the two nations. Kasimir and Olivia were both very aware of their royal obligation and have been blessed with a son, Prince Louis.

---

Prince Conrad married Princess Adelina of Sokolov, the daughter of an old friend of Prince Viktor's. They care for each other deeply and hope to be blessed with children soon.

---

Princess Valeska defied her parents wishes in the marriage quarter and allowed herself to be swept off her feet by the dashing Prince Léopold of Babinville. Their marriage nearly provoked a war between the two nations but luckily royal envoys managed to smooth things over. She now lives in Babinville with Léopld, she writes to her sister Princess Rosalba that she is happy and well having recently been blessed with a healthy baby boy.

---

Princess Rosalba married Prince Cosimo of Savonia a few months ago. Her marriage pleased her parents greatly and provoked great rejoicing in both countries. However rumour has it that she has recently embarked on an affair with a handsome officer in the Savonian army...watch this space...
