I realize that your families are getting more and more complicated, so if you want to rearrange it in such a way that helps you maybe understand it better, go right ahead. I've also given each of you your own post, so please reply to that one, not this one.
Anyhoo, on to business.
CJ, Flute, JHK, quigonjecca, and
Wintertale have been dropped from the game. We’ll miss you guys!
Also,
Annamarie, Bernadette, Darkest, Eleanora, Emilie, enlatiah, Genevieve, and
TH need to complete Round 5.
So.
Another five years have passed in your wonderful kingdom, and they have been nothing but peace. Your eldest son is the best ruler the people have seen in many a century, the economy is improving, and there’s just general contentment all around. But now disaster looms on the horizon. Your youngest daughter, the 24-year-old, had been engaged to a prince of a neighboring country, but on the eve of the wedding, he was mysteriously found dead in his bed. Court physicians determined that his death was due to natural causes, but now his nation is threatening war. The situation has only been exacerbated by the marriage of the same daughter to a duke who hails from the country of their military and economic rivals [name him using the initials I give you. The last initial is the last name.]
. What is to be done? Will additional alliances be made and/or broken? How will the king respond to this crisis?
To make matters worse, there are rumors of a coup d’état among the nobility of your country. What brought this about? Will it come to a head, or will the king find a way to calm flared tempers?
And of course, the bad apple of the family, your youngest son, has not stopped his wild ways (although this is kept strictly under wraps and within the confines of the royal court). In the past five years, he has fathered three more children with two different women. Will these kids inherit Dad’s title and rank once they come of age, or will they be shunned, written into the history books and then forgotten? Is your son planning on finding a wife any time soon? If no, what is his eldest brother going to do about him?
Please bold all changes you make to your families, including titles and new members. Also, please don’t hyperlink the names.
