As for what issues we'll discuss... well, I'm pretty much open to anything. At this point we could have the RPG revolve around just about anything. Sorry for a lack of plan or anything, I didn't think anyone would be too interested so quickly (hence the lack of rules and incompletion of the sites sections).
We have many options open to us in terms of how to set this up. It could take place during the same period as any of the Kushiel Trilogy, or it could be in the past or future. We could have it revolve around the D'Angeline peerage or more around the commoners (for lack of a better word) or even the Night Court. It all depends on what you're all interested in... so feel free to speak up.
Also I'm going to set up the Night Court's House boards as well as an Out of Character board. We can use this thread to discuss the plot.
Finally, I have one more question. Does anyone dislike the color scheme? I read a complaint about it and wondered if anyone else finds it hard on the eyes or distracting. If so what do you suggest?

Alrighty so the colors can stay...
As for the plot, I like the idea of having it set after the whole Kushiel Trilogy. But the only concern I had would be that once the Imriel Trilogy is released this RPG and the books might conflict. Although Carey has stated that the Imriel Trilogy will have alot more to do with his personal growth and development then saving thw realm, it could still introduce facts that completely alter the situation in Terre d'Ange, such as a divorce between Durstan and Ysandre, pitting one realm against the other.
But I still like the idea, perhaps having it start around the end of Kushiel's Avatar. The peers of the realm could attend that whole reunion party thing... Perhaps the Night Court could burst into bloom once more, like the Cassiline Brotherhood did, restoring it to its former glory. That way the peers of the realm and the adepts of the Night Court could be more in touch with each other here on the site. But even then, I still think we should have a focus, either more on the lower class or the upper class of D'Angeline society. (Oh, and also, please people don't all pick Valerian House! I know it's appealing but still...)
As for help, Semira, its pretty simple right now. We just have to figure out exactly what we're going to be roleplaying... As for the RPing itself, its really just like writing an interactive story with a bunch of people you don't know. Each person roleplays for their own character, socializing and mingling with other player's characters and NPC (nonplaying character's that anyone can use) to further along a storyline.

If worse comes to worse with the Imriel Trilogy we coudl always just revamp the site... besides its still two years away at least. By then we could even decide to go back and have this RPG take place in the past.
I like the idea of having multiple characters... I think we should make the quota two: one adepts or other commoner/lower-class, and one peer of the realm or noble. With that in mind I hope not everyone is going to decide to go into one House (like we already have two out of four members in Valerian House). As for the peers, not everyone can be a Duc or Comte of a House. In the D'Angeline Peerage there are also marquists and simple Lords and Lady (members of one of the Great Houses; scions of the Copanions). Also I'd like to keep the Ducs (Heads of the Major Houses) as NPCs for the time being, just for promotions and things.
I have one other concern about having these multiple characters... Well, I don't want to have endless sims of here where it's just one character interacting with his second one. That'll be kind of boring... So let's try to avoid having the two character's always interacting, and no assignations with ourselve please (unless I authorize it first).
Also, everyone will now need to write up a paragraph or so biography of their character for the "Records of Citizenship" board. Title the thread with your character's name. But you'll also need to give me a short (couple of words) description of your character for the "Dramatis Personae" thread their two. For example: Ysandre De La Courcle's blurb would simply be, "Queen of Terre D'Ange", while Phedre's "Comtesse de Montreve; anguissette" and Joscelin's "Phedre's Consort; Cassiline Brother". Get the idea? I thought the Dramatis Personae would be a great way to keep track of all NPCs we use, instead of having to write bios for each of them. This way we can stay consistant and not have to review old threads to find stuff.
Do ny of you mind if I have three characters: Ambrose for the sake of Administration (and who can double as Dowayne of every House for the time being); an adept and a peer of the realm (probably Cereus House and a Comte or Marquist)?
So if you're going to have two chcracters, go ahead and create a second account. One for each... But be sure to PM me and notify me that its you in two accounts. (And please try not to cheat and lie to me about it. Two characters is enough right? Especially since we've got NPCs). Also don't create a second character if its only going to be used once or twice... Also PM me the part for the Dramatis Personae.

I just got a great idea for our opening sims...
I was writing up a few plot ideas for backstory, revovling around the wedding of Ambrose to the Iskandrian Pharoah's daughter... and it hit me. Instead of having it take place years before hand, why not have them start it off with a bang.
Yes, I know it'll be reminiscent of Ysandre in some ways: married to a foreign ruler/heir, young and new to the throne. But instead of being alone without guidance, the Queen is still alive and has only passed on her title to her son. I'm working on a few things for a kind of prologue... the meeting in which she informs him he'll be taking over, the coronation ceremony, the wedding, the procession at Triselene's arrival in Terre d'Ange, ect.
This could also make a great basis for the launch of the roleplays... The Night Court throws a huge party the night of the coronation, while many peers of the realm are invited to the Palace itself for a gala. Likewise some of the nobles may wish to throw their own fetes (although, I think we shouldn't as too have too much happening and too few players).
So what do you think?
(( By the way, I created myself two other characters: Japheth, an adept of Cereus House; and Constance de Mereliot, the Lady of Marsilikos. Any other characters listed in the Dramatis Personae are NPCs... ))

Well, see that's one of the reasons I put in the place the no duchy rules. However, in the case of the d'Aiglemort estate perhaps an exception is in order. Duc d'Aiglemort did commit treason against the entire kingdom, and as such perhaps the duchy is now reduced to a county in size. Also, about the half-sister bit... I wanted to keep our characters a little more seperate from the established major characters. Perhaps instead of her being a half-sister, Isidore could have been her grandfather or even her father? Also remember that she'd be in her like 60s or something around the time this takes place, if she was his half-sister. It takes place over 50 years after the events of Kushiel's Trilogy, the way we have it set up now, since Ysandre is dead and Sidonai is incredibly old.
So the granddaughter of Isidore D'Aiglemort...? aAd if you want to have a living parent then it's even better. You could be the heir to the Duc D'Aiglemort instead, or you could be the Comtesse D'Aiglemort. It's just I wanted to keep the higher titles for promotions and what not, so if people were to join later they'd still have a fighting chance for it. And also because we needed some kind of reward system...

Welcome to our RPG, Redyan....
Verreuil is fine for your character... however, we'll have to discuss it a little because I have plans for a member of House Verreuil to serve as the one of the Crown Prince's personal Guard. Perhaps he could be a disowned member of the House who is now in good tsanding with it but still hates it for casting him out? If you have any questions about your character just PM/email me or feel free to ask them here.
(( Oh Mara, I got your email. I hope I've already answered all the questions so they're no need to reply. Or would you still like one? ))
I would also like to formerly lift the rule on the whole no Ducs thing. Simply because I realized that whjile I was betrating all of you for it, I myself was in violation. For my character, Constance de Mereliot to be the Lady of Marsilikos then she must also be the Duchese de Mereliot. However, since I am lifting this rule, it doesn't mean you have to change your characters to Ducs unless you wish to. Instead no duchy will be considered the sovereign duchy of a province unless I state so. I know in the books they are Morhban, Mereliot, L'Envers, Toulard, Aiglemort, Somerville and Trevalion but in our RPG they will be held by those who advance to the appropriate rank. It will now be our reward, thus for now any Comtes, Marquises and Ducs will be handled as if they were of the same rank.
Alrighty, I was going to post my biography for Ambrose last night but when I got home I found my phoneline and internet wasn't working. So I spent the night bored and watching the American Presidential Elections (by the way, I'm a Canadian so they didn't really interest me). During the long drone of CNN's explanation I began to refine and eventually completely rewrote Ambrose's biography. It has a lot of history that I think would be nice for the group. Feel free to check it out in and tell me if you like the new backtsory... Also, the way by bio runs I think it might be better to start us off at his final return to Terre d'Ange after all those negotiations with the Khalif. Perhaps at his welcoming or after the wedding...
And by the way, I will be changing the forums colors eventually. As for your ideas, Redyan, thanks. I don't mean to rain on them, but I had already looked at the idea of the blog/Greatest Journal thing. I found that it would be better to have thing more together for the time being. Perhaps later we might expand there. Also, its alot easier to administer to things if they're all in one spot - like here on these forums - then spread across different parts of a larger site - like the journal would be.
I'm going to be removing most of the boards from the "Foreign Lands" section, leaving only Tiberium and Khebbel-im-Akkad for the time being. Just like the Great House boards, with so few of us right now they seem redundant. Anyone who wishes to use one of the removed (well, not really removed just hidden away to clean up the site) Foreign Land ones at anytime, PM me and I'll have it added. Use them for backstory or even travel outside of Terre d'Ange. Ambrose will be using them to post about his times in Khebbel and at Tiberium, as backstory and icing for our RPG.

Ahh, no that's shouldn't be. What I meant by us needing to discuss it was to figure out how my (former Cassiline) could be related to your character. So that they don't both end up being the only cousin to soomeone or what not if you get my drift. Just to avoid confusion and maintain an ounce of ...
I'd also like to point on more think out to everyone... As I've understood from the books it seems that the D'Angeline people tend to try and marry within their own bloodlines, to preserve them. At least the Great Houses seem to. For example, not once is anyone said to be both a scion of say Kushiel and Azza. They try to keep them just within the same branch... the only acception seems to be House Courcel, with the mingling of Elua's (Courcel) and Naamah's (L'Envers) bloodlines. So try to keep that in mind when making characters.

Post by Redyan on Nov 3, 2004 18:36:39 GMT -5
Hm... you do have a point there. How were you thinking for your Cassiline to be related to the Verreuil house? A grandson of one of Joscelin's siblings? And which one? I was thinking my character being a granddaughter of Mahieu, but maybe yours would be a grandson of his too? Of course he would be the middle son, with the tradition they have of sending the middle son to the Cassiline Brotherhood. I guess it would all depend on you and how you choose the bloodline of his. Speaking of bloodline, from what I've gathered, the bloodlines intermingle quite a bit, at least the Great Houses. Well at least from what I remember reading in Kushiel's Chosen, where Severio comments where almost every noble he met was able to claim some kinship to the throne. There's also Phedre's reflection where the L'Envers household must have some Kusheline blood in them, especially since their arms featured a bridge over the river of Hell. But that's all speculation on my part. And that's why I want to wait a bit on determining the bloodline of my character, at least until we get some more guidelines in place, I think.

I didn't notice the bit about House L'Envers. Thanks for pointing it out, but even then if they do have Kushieline somewhere down the line its not horribly strong. Naamah's flows more freely. What I meant was more like not having a half-Somerville, half-Shahrizai. But about ten minutes after I posted that, I remembered that Imriel is both Courcel and Shahrizai, so he is the scion of Elua, Kushiel and Naamah. Odd isn't it... So I guess we can discard that rule as well. But still I don't want to have someone who claims to have his bloodline tracing back to half of the Companions, if you understand my meaning. It's too much of what many call "God-Playing" instead of role-playing. Also, I would like to mention a little thing about making up Houses. First of all no new Houses will be made up for the Night Court, as all 13 are known and identified in the books. Likewise, no additions will be made to the Great Houses (major houses/duchies) unless truly needed (but I don't see any reasons for it right now or in the near future). The only houses I will consider having created for this would be minor houses that never had too much impact on the realm. Once such example is House Montreve which isn't mentioned for the majority of Kushiel's Chosen. Phedre has no clue about the House or Delauney's association to it at all. Currently the only authorized non-canon house is House Vera. (Whomever created the Helle Rane character did not receive my permission to create House Aricin.) Next order of business... let's start simming. If you all feel comfortable following the background of established in Ambrose's biography, then we can begin now. Yes, I know we haven't decided how to officially kick off the RPG, but you can still create featurettes of backstory and what not. I'd really like to see some role-playing of the important events from a character's past... even if it's only a short event or something. I have a couple in the works for Ambrose (one for each of the major transitions in his life: Tiberium, the Cassiline Brotherhood, Teriselene's father's death, the two Battles, ect.) and one for my adept (his first assignation and a little about the time leading up to it). Also Constance's and Japheth's biographies are forthcoming. The following characters have my permission to create backstory for their characters as they seem to fit all criteria and are well worked out: - Cybane
- Domitius
- Mara
- Theodor
- Hadiya (although I'd like you to run your ideas about her heritage by me in more detail before using it as a plot device...)
(For those listed above: By the way, if you wish to change your character's biography, such as making them a Duc, then drop me a line and clear it with me first. I'll probably say yes... but just in case. Try to come up with the reason they became the Duc, like how the previous one passed or why they were the heir if far removed from the former Duc.) As for my three characters, may I add Ambrose to the cleared list or does anyone have any concerns with him? The other two, I'll wait till I post their bios... Semira & Redyan, I merely await bios before I'll add you. Genevieve, I'd like to hear a little more about House Vera, so drop me a line when you get a chance.

As for the Duchese thing... it's spelt Duchese in the books. On page 559 of Kushiel's Dart, Roxanne de Mereliot is referred to as the Duchese de Mereliot. So that settles that point.
As for having an adept for each House of the Night Court, I hate to be mean. First of all I disagree on the point that adepts have less complex stories attached to them... I have many more ideas in mind for my adept for instance than for the Lady of Marsilikos. As for the point of using them occassionally instead of an NPC, doesn't that defeat the entire purpose of an adept.
Also the reason that I'm standing so firm on the point of having a character limit of two (which I might even enforce upon myself unless I can think up something for Constance) is because the entire point of role-playing is to greatly develop a character and have fun doing so. Having more than one character increases the difficulty of keeping a constant simming rate with all characters as well as decreases the quality of thought placed into each individual post. You can argue this point if you wish, but 99 out of 100 cases are that way. Most RPGs don't even allow a SECOND character until the player has proven that they can more than handle a single one. So I'm sorry to say that no, not everyone can have an adept per house. Also it would become a managers nightmare if we ever grew into larger numbers...
The difference between an NPC and a PC is that the PCs are highly developped with long stretching backstories and highly detailed lives, while an NPC is an occassionally used addition for story purposes. So having dozens of PCs instead of NPCs isn't practical and it defeats the purpose of the division entirely.

Alrighty, my hard drive's getting there. I bought a new one and I'm installing Windows Xp tonight so I should be back posting tomorrow. Also, it might take me a little while to post them to the site but I've finished two snippets of backstory for Ambrose, one for Japheth and the bios for Constance and Japheth. Wasn't much for me to do in the last couple of days...
Also I've about three dozens pages of notes to go through and put together the individual summaries of what we know about everything in the books (like the places, royalty, culture, Houses, ect. -> so far I've only done note taking for Kushiel's Dart, I started reading Chosen last night and nothing new in the first 12 chapters). These summaries will be of great help to keep up continuity, as well as introductions those on the site who may not have read the books but don't want to be lost. I'm trying to avoid using any assumptions in them unless necessary (such as that Duc and Duchese are of equal rank, gold ducats are greater in worth than the bronze centimes, ect), keeping it to canon. Anything that I'll add myself for the workings of this site while be clearly marked as such.
Now all you newcomers: Please keep in mind that you do not require two characters, that is merely the maximum number allowed. Also if you wish you may have two adepts instead of one adept and one noble, although the maximum number of nobles per character is restricted to one. Adepts do not need to be of the Night Court, they could be from Namarre or somewhere else. Nobles do not all have to be Ducs, Comtes or what not, they could simply be a Lord or Lady of house like Melisande is. Keep in mind that we take place around 50-60 years after the end of Kushiel's AVATAR (which is 10 years after the end of Chosen, which is about a year and half after the end of Kushiel's Dart, which consists of 21 years worth of Phedre's life....)
Also if you haven't already PMed or Email-ed me about your character, do so before adding their bio to the site!
Please read the rest of this thread to anwser some of your questions, and if you still have any PM or Email me (that goes for everyone)

Redyan, just to point out I've been rereading the books... I think it's my fourth time now. Yes, I knew that Valere was married to the Lugal of Khebbel-im-Akkad, but I was thinking that something happened to her in our era and that the Khalif believes it was caused by us D'Angelines. Hence, the cementing of the relationship once more with a marriage - an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth...
(So I see you guys all talk about me behind my back now... hint hint, I'll remember that - just kidding...)
Alrighty, yay! I finished typing up my notes on Kushiel's Dart and I'm halfway through Chosen... I've changed the format of it for the time being. Instead of small sumaries spread across the site in each section, I'm going to put it all into one master glossary seperated by kingdom (so all D'Angeline terms go together, all Yeshuite ones together, all Caerdicci terms together, all Skaldic terms together, ect. and then one for general terms). Later on, I'll rearrange it into smaller summaries for each thing...
Alrighty, now that my computer is in brand-new condition (since I ended up buying a new one), I'll try to get out my bios and at least three back posts by the end of the week. How about we deem that Friday shall be the official kick off of the current sims?
The current state of the realm is just after the official marriage of Teriselene and Ambrose... hence he shall be Crown Prince and not yet King. All nobles will be attending a Royal Gala, while the adepts of the Night Court shall attend a fete at Cereus House...
The Royal Gala will take place at Marsilikos, at one of House Mereliot's estates, since it happens just as Ambrose returns from the diplomatic campaign he started after the Battle of Nineveh. It shall be an expensive ballroom attire theme, instead of a masque. The current trend shall be simplicity (in constrast to the trend in the books which is complexity at the Royal Masque). Please try to keep with that theme; no one should pull a Phedre and go the other way because that is what House Royal shall be doing.
The adepts of the Night Court are to keep in mind that all guests shall be hand picked from the lower echelons of D'Angeline peerage as well as the higher commoners and any others with Tokens of Naamah given to them by a Dowayne. All Cereus House adepts are paid for in advance, contracted for the evening. That means, hint hint, that any other adepts is free to spend the evening as a patron!
(Keep in mind that my character shall be available if anyone wishes to have an assignation with him - any pairing shall be acceptable; also for those Mandrakes out there, keep in mind that it would be interesting for a Mandrake to contract a Cereus, since Mandrake deal out something that those of Cereus House are not at all trained for).
Now on Friday night, only those who wish to post about their preparations for the fetes will be allowed to sim (unless it is backstory or a biography). The Royal Gala and Night Court Fete will begin on Sunday evening...
Now for a final note, you may have noticed that bpth situations I have concocted put one of my characters in a special position. Please don't feel like I did it to leave anyone out, I did it to try and get interactions going strong. Also, if you ever have any plot ideas feel free to send them to me.
Any questions?

Post by The Monarchy on Nov 16, 2004 19:12:52 GMT -5
Alrighty, I just finished reading over the biographies and all of the backstories that have been posted. I have two concerns about them.
Silren, I loved your biography. I liked how you didn't feel compelled to have finished your marque or be the absolute best in everything. Actually, right now your character is the only one who has yet to finish her marque. But I think I'll have my adept character (Japheth no Cereus) do the same - close to completion but not yet.
My concern was that you named the Dowaynes. I asked that if possible people try not to. But since your the only Jasmine adept, I guess there isn't a problem there. My concern lied with naming the Cereus Dowayne, especially since you chose Vivian de Souverain. Souverain was the last name of Phedre's birth mother, and as far as we can tell she's dead. KEeping in mind that no living member of Phedre's true family has ever been mentioned at all, not even a distant relative, and the fact that her popularity would have made one of them come forward. I'd prefer if we tried not to use them anymore in the RPG, since we've already got a character who may or may not be descended from them. So no harm done, but I'm going to try and think up a new name for the Dowayne of Cereus House (I have a few in mind already).
(And while I'm addressing you, Silren, I mind as well say this too. I meant that people should keep in mind that Japheth, my adept character, would be available and not Ambrose. If you still wish to do something, let me know... I'd be glad to!)
Alrighty, now for my second concern. It seems taht not everyone understood what I meant by "backstory" or "backposting". WHat I wanted us to do is tell little snippets of story from our characters' past. Now, I read Cybane's and I found it fantastic... exactly what I had in mind. Same thing with Domitius'....
However, no offense, but Theodor's was more of what could go in a biography. So Theo, if you'd like I'll transfer those posts into you character biography thread for you. You were more of relating his life story, then retelling an important moment of his life.
I'll have my two biographies out for tomorrow night, and at leats the beginning of one of Ambrose's backposts.
As for when we can start preparations, I think that we should on Thursday, giving us one more day to iron out the details. So all official posting can begin on Thursday! As for the fetes, is Saturday alright? I'll kick them both off on Saturday morning, if it's okay with everyone...?

As for Veronique, go ahead. Flatlander is fine (although I don't ever remember reading anythign about them at all.... or even a nation in the Flatlands; I assumed there was none since it was so easy for the Skaldi to take over during their invasion, and no resistance was ever mentioned there). However, she will officially be the last of the D'Angeline half-breeds for the time being as tehre are now a considerable amount of them compared to pure blooded D'Angelines.
As for assignations.... be as descriptive as yoy feel you need to be. I will not be enforcing any limits on you in that respect, other than the fatc that the word "Assignation:" must appear in the subject line of the thread. However, try to keep your assignations using appropriate language and terms from the books, as well as try to keep them within your house canon. No adepts of Cereus or the like should be tortured... especially since Baudoin's barely rough treatment is enough to discomfort them. Yes, on occassion it may occur... but I doubt that an adept of Cereus House will ever be the subject of flecthettes. Also keep in mind all known guild-laws and principals that were noted in the book.... (Such as the extra clause in the contract if the patron is to rip or damage the adepts clothing, or that forcing love upon someone is heresy, or even that a disfigurement will have you shunned from your House.)

Try not to make anything too far fetched or majorly impacting on the RPG without consulting me though.... Other than that, your free to decide things. Just don't have us at war with the Flatlands or anything like that.
Okay, I just found out that on Saturday I'll be tied up in the afternoon. BUT the show will still go on. Instead I will rearrange my schedule so that we will have the beginnings of one of the two fetes in the morning (before 10:00am EST at the latest) and the other in the evening (before 10:00pm EST). So I'm going to leav it up to you to decide which you want to come first - the debut of the adepts or the peers of the realm... (personally I'm keen on the peers, especially since its Ambrose's wedding being celebrated, but its up to you guys...)?
Also, I officially declare preparation posts are allowed! Please keep preparations in your house (for adepts) or province (for peers; unless they are visiting another province...), while the fetes will be in Marsilikos (for the peers, as it takes place just as Ambrose returns home) and Cereus House (on the Mont Nuit boar; for adepts, since it is "First among the Thirteen").
If you are a peer/noble and you don't wish to sim travel as one of your preparations, then feel free to stay in the Guest Quarters of House Mereliot in Eisande. As one of the largest, or maybe even the largest, duchy in Terre d'Ange it would probably be a seperate building on the estate, with lodgings very similar to those found in the Palace itself. Ambrose's preparations will be held in the Palace or perhaps en route from Khebbel-im-Akkad/Tiberium, Japheth's will be at Cereus House (the House board and not Mont Nuit), while Constance's will be in Marsilikos itself.

Hey Everyone! I just wanted to send out a quick email regarding a couple of things, and please feel free to reply to this email. Thanks to everyone whosw still around and those who are new, welcome.
First of all, I've been haveing troubles when I login and I'm not sure what it is and I'm not sure that I can fix it, but if others are having the same issues I've found a way to fix it. When you login you have to go to the main login in that has two boxes and an area that has the amount of time logged in. When you do log in you must insure that you check the box that says "always stay logged in" this will keep you logged in.
Second; I'd like to hear some feed back on how everyone thinks things are going. I've been trying to comunicate to others (and I'm aware that many are very busy) but if any one here has suggestions or things they would want changed please let me know.
Third; I want to make sure that things move along more quickly with the story lines, again I understand that people are busy but things are moving quite slowly and I'd like to move on to other story lines.
That being said, good luck to all and hope to hear back from people soon.

Hello All, and All the New Players;
So some of you may be curious as to whats going on as far as the role playing goes. Well we were in the middle of the adept ball but since there are so many new people and that makes it difficult to jump in we'll be moving onto the next story line.
The next story line is the Masqued Ball. This is for peers to attend so you must post preparations for the masque. Adepts are to post preparations too but adepts will only be attending as entertainment for the guests. This means that they are there for assignations.
The masqued ball is being held at the Estate of Genevieve no Vera, Comtesse de Avertir. Please begin your posting, and if you have questions feel free to message me. I'm more then willing to help new players create and develope characters, and make sure to read the New Players board for rules.
Thanks Everyone, can't wait to see the posts. Sabrina

Just a note to every one;
If you are posting a prep for an up coming story, please post them under the Mont Nuit & Nightcourt Board. If you post anything to do with your character at home, you can still post it under the City of Elua board but as I've noticed the boards been filling up pretty fast. It will save room for posts specifically regarding to Fete's at a peers townhome or for backstories, or just in between stories. So from now on please use the Mont Nuit & Nightcourt board for anything not specifically related to a town home or living arangements.
Thanks Sabrina de la Courcel

Hey Everyone; I want you all to make sure that you all are ready, I'm setting a dead line of Friday for final preparations for the up coming natal. Any one who needs help with their final preparations, please contact me as soon as possible. We will begin the fete for Prince August's natal on saturday.
I also want to remind all the peers and nobles that Prince Ambrose's coronation is right after the natal. Please make sure that your peers and nobles are ready to go to the coronation. Anyone who does not have an active peer or noble must also let me know if they would like to create one, as only Peers and Nobles will be invited to the coronation itself.
Following immediately after will be the coronation a celebration will be put on by Princess Alais de la Courcel at the Courcel Chateux outside the City of Elua. Please also prepare for this as well as it will be following right behind the coronation, posts for these will go under the L'Agnace board. Peers and nobles must also contract your own adepts for this fete.
Good luck and Happy Postings. Princess Sabrina de la Courcel

I've added a post to the 'General' board, please look over it and note that it has yet to be completed as I am missing my books and have not done a full count of character's still up for grabs. I will also be creating under the same post, a list of surnames (last names) and brief histories for new players that are having trouble choosing a character.

IMPORTANT
Hello to all;
First let me say thanks to everyone on their great work in the story lines so far. I'm having a great time and I hope that you all are also having a great time.
Second; the 'Prince August Natal' has kinda hit a slump in the sense that the player whose characters are Cybane and Prince August has disappeared. I haven't heard from her but I know she'll be back (I'm just not sure when). So it you have a character involved with either of her characters just move on and you can go back and finish the thread later once she returns.
Third; We have now reached the important storyline of Prince Ambrose's coronation in which he is crowned King. This is a story line for all the peers of the realm (no adepts), there will be a coronation celebration after so don't worry that one will be for both adepts and peers. Also note that the celebration will be held at Chateaux de la Courcel which is Princess Alais de la Courcel and Prince Consort Duc Louis de Vermandois' home. Those posts will be under the L'Agnace board.
Fourth; Please do not start posting for receiving invites to the coronation until I have posted an official invitation on the News Fader. This is important because 1) Sidonie has not decided to step down yet (which was the whole point of the story) and 2) Because there is a minor storyline that I would like to invite some peers to join into.
This brings me to my fifth point. One of the new players here is interested in having an auction for her character's virginity and first assignation. We have already decided who her first patron will be but I want to invite any peers who are interested, to come and join in on the thread. Your even welcome to have assignations of your own if you wish to.
In conjunction with my fifth point I wish to mention now that I will be playing a sort of 'Virtual Madame' so to speak. If there is any one on the site who wishes to have assignations with other characters or just any character or specific character, please let me know and I'll help to set it up.
So, my sixth and final point is a bit off topic from what I've been talking about, but I'm going to make and "Announcement" page on either this board or the General board (so be watching). This page will serve as a place where you can write announcements or important notes about your characters. For example say you and another character decide to marry, or you and another character have gotten into a big fight. You can put it there so that other players can stay up to date on any twists or turns in the RPing. To post on this page please write "Announcement: (your name)" or "Update: (your name)".
That being said, I would suggest that you begin work on your preparations for the coronation, but don't post them yet.
Thanks everyone!

Hey All
I just wanted to add a quick note that I am adding an Assignation thread on this (Parliament) board. Here is where you can post questions about assignation and let other's know that your character(s) are looking for assignations. So you can correspond with other and talk about possible assignations as well as list characters interested in assignations.

Hey Every one; I wanted you all to know that the maximum amount of characters for new players has been raised to three (3). If there are players on the board that are at 2 characters and wish to add one more please contact me with idea.
