Year 10XX - Autumn
After long last, the Prince is bethrothed to Vanyara of Ligaton. While many agree this marriage won't be out of love, but practicality, most believe Vanyara to be level-headed enough to assist Casimir in his eventual rule.
Not long after Soy was released from medical treatment, the council of nobles were all invited to his wedding ceremony. Eyes teared up as Almond walked his brother down the aisle. There, at the altar, was g’Ontagnan, looking dashing in his new suit. Soy’s nervousness was apparent to all, especially standing so close to his ever-confident husband-to-be.
“Don’t worry,” g’Ontagnan whispered. “You look lovely.” With a reassuring squeeze from g’Ontagnan’s warm hands, Soy’s nerves began to ease up enough to not send him into another asthma attack.
RuPaul led the two men through their vows. And when they both said “I do,” not a soul remained unmoved.
At the reception, g’Ontagnan announced his decision to secede from the Prismed Rim as his territory would be merged with that of his husband. The new joint territory was to be called The Morwhirl Pridelands. The whirlpool was relocated South to be closer to Soy’s new home. It seemed as though the season would be a joyful one… at least for the two of them.
Rumors Spread across the Kingdom of a few nobles and their...interesting deeds.
Gonna be real, I'm very tired. I'll update this in the morning. Check Current Standings to see who has made it. I'll double check in the morning in case I'm missing anyone. All stats there should be correct. A
Stage 1 Completed?
After a lucrative Spring, comes everyone's favorite time of year, Tax Season! Each noble makes 500 Gold, while the Kingdom taxes 100 of their earned profits. Current Standings will be updated to reflect this (and remove Auction money) in the morning
The Council Chamber description shall go here, but everything is normal except for the Prince seeming awfully sullen, while the King is indifferent to his son's inner turmoil. Dad of the Year here.
As is custom, each alliance proposes one issue to the Council, with the King proposing one affecting the entire Kingdom.
Each Noble gets one vote per Issue, with the King and the Prince each getting 1 vote they are allowed to allocate to any 1 Issue of their choice.
Here are the current issues up for discussion:
Prismed Rim - In Need of Spiritual Cleansing
A Morvaugian Chieftain and their cohorts has requested the use of the Isle of Samsara for “spiritual cleansing.” They promised to pay and were eager to learn the ways of Blaiddydism.

United States of Azulongmon - Disquiet in the Islands
Diana Proudmoore of the Sugarvine Islands has been accused by some of her peasants of hoarding wealth.
