[Games] Re: Royal Year Game
King Theodore Gideon Mowbray (black hair, blue eyes)(28)
Queen Estella Daisy (Cavendish) Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(27)King Theodore and Queen Estella were wedded this year in a lavish ceremony attended by nearly the entire country! Theodore has been groomed for the kingship since infancy, ascending to the throne nine months ago when King Leopold was striken with a disease of the mind, losing his memory over the course of several years until he was no longer fit to rule. Estrella is from the royal court--not quite of royal blood, but raised in a royal family. Much to the chagrin of the royal advisors, then-Crown Prince Theodore, fell in love with her! Queen Estella is a fiesty, fiery woman who has her own opinions about nearly everything--but Theodore thinks that will make her a valuable asset to the kingdom.
Year 1:
King Theodore Gideon Mowbray (black hair, blue eyes)(29)
Queen Estella Daisy (Cavendish) Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(28)King Theodore has successfully faced the first major hurdle in his rule--early in the spring, large groups of protestors gathered in London and several other large cities to protest the unfair taxes being levied on imported goods. King Theodore took the protesters seriously and set up a meeting with those in charge. Queen Estella was also in attendance at the meeting, and had some good ideas about how to relieve the citizens of some taxes, but maintain revenue flow to cover the cost of importing most items.
Year 2:
King Theodore Gideon Mowbray (black hair, blue eyes)(30)
Queen Estella Daisy (Cavendish) Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(29)The entire kingdom rejoiced when Queen Estrella's pregnancy was announced this year--the entire kingdom was later devastated when news of her miscarriage spread through the land. If the King does not produce a male heir, inheritance will fall to his younger brother, Crown Prince Charles (who is not nearly as politically inclined as his brother and is unlikely to be a good ruler).
Year 3:
King Theodore Gideon Mowbray (black hair, blue eyes)(31)
Queen Estella Daisy (Cavendish) Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(30)Though an heir to the throne hasn't yet appeared, Queen Estrella convinced her husband to set some money aside for scientific research. After only eighteen months of funding, a new theory was proposed regarding agriculture and crop yields--which will benefit the people greatly because less money can be spent on importing enough food to feed the people!
Year 4:
King Theodore Gideon Mowbray (black hair, blue eyes)(32)
Queen Estella Daisy (Cavendish) Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(31)More unrest and protests rocked the kingdom this year--this time related to representation in court proceedings. Once again, Queen Estella had some good ideas about how to address the situation, and King Theodore was able to implement some new policies to satisfy the people.
Year 5:
King Theodore Gideon Mowbray (black hair, blue eyes)(33)
Queen Estella Daisy (Cavendish) Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(32)Rumors are starting to fly that Queen Estella is infertile, but King Theodore is unconcerned. He and Estella have talked about it, and feel confident that they will soon be able to have a child of their own. In the meantime, King Theodore was able to quell more protests this year--this time about foreign trading policies.
Year 6:
King Theodore Gideon Mowbray (black hair, blue eyes)(34)
Queen Estella Daisy (Cavendish) Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(33)
Princess Eva Theodora Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(0)At last, a royal baby! The kingdom rejoiced to welcome Princess Eva to the country. She has Queen Estrella's shock of red hair, but inherited the King's bright blue eyes and facial features. Though the kingdom will still go to King Theodore's brother Charles if he dies, Theodore has been contemplating proposing a rule that would allow the eldest child of the family (whether a male or not) to succeed to the throne if the king should pass.
Year 7:
King Theodore Gideon Mowbray (black hair, blue eyes)(35)
Queen Estella Daisy (Cavendish) Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(34)
Princess Eva Theodora Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(1)
Princess Cora Margaret Mowbray (black hair, blue eyes)(0)King Theodore and Queen Estella welcomed a second daughter this year, Princess Cora! Princess Cora has the king's hair, but is otherwise built like Queen Estella. Princess Eva is delighted with the arrival of her sister.
Year 8:
King Theodore Gideon Mowbray (black hair, blue eyes)(36)
Queen Estella Daisy (Cavendish) Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(35)
Princess Eva Theodora Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(2)
Princess Cora Margaret Mowbray (black hair, blue eyes)(1)
Princess Iris Diana Mowbray (black hair, blue eyes)(0)A third princess was born to the King and Queen this year! Princess Iris looks just like the King. The King and Queen are delighted and enamoured with their little girls. Already, King Theodore has started Princess Eva's "royalty training", encouraged by Queen Estella. He is still trying to get enough support from the advisors to be able to make Eva a Crown Princess, but he is slowly gaining ground.
Year 9:
King Theodore Gideon Mowbray (black hair, blue eyes)(37)
Queen Estella Daisy (Cavendish) Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(36)
Princess Eva Theodora Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(3)
Princess Cora Margaret Mowbray (black hair, blue eyes)(2)
Princess Iris Diana Mowbray (black hair, blue eyes)(1)
Princess Christina Eleanor Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(0)A fourth princess was born into the royal family this year--Princess Christina joins her three older sisters. Some days the palace looks more like a nursery school than a palace, but the King and Queen wouldn't have it any other way.
Year 10:
King Theodore Gideon Mowbray (black hair, blue eyes)(38)
Queen Estella Daisy (Cavendish) Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(37)
Princess Eva Theodora Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(4)
Princess Cora Margaret Mowbray (black hair, blue eyes)(3)
Princess Iris Diana Mowbray (black hair, blue eyes)(2)
Princess Christina Eleanor Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(1)
Princess Viola Lillian Mowbray (red hair, blue eyes)(0)The newest addition to the royal family--and really, five babies in five years has worn everyone down! Princess Viola looks just like her mother. Princess Eva is delighted at her new little sister's arrival--she enjoys being impromptu leader of their little band. They aren't allowed a lot of freedom, but are adored by the people.
