Also for those who wonder how incest this is:



Apparently this makes them third cousins or somethin v;

Didn't the first King marry a direct cousin by the way? O_o

EDIT:
C!!! (Not B as initially voted!)

C! They say that third cousins are about as closely related as two random strangers. Let's put that to the test, shall we?

Had it reminded on IRC--Houlandin I... married their first cousin.
...
:v
NOTHING WILL GO WRONG.

B. We really should tempt fate into giving us a prince phillip. We REALLY want to avoid that.

[Elephant Parade]

Our first child will almost certainly end up inheriting the empire, so it hardly matters.

Phillip who of where? Can we have a Wiki link?

Fortunately we're nowhere near the pit the Hapsburgs dug themselves into (Charles II of Spain is probably the inspiration for the biological hazard symbol), or even the small town relatives syndrome...

Also I'm bored this evening so I present to you full tree of current Houlandine dynasty:



_{pls dont point the obvious issues}

[Haspen]

Back to scheduled programming!


You accept the proposal, hoping it will turn out OK.

The ceremony next week is much grander as Raellia's parents are able to put enough wealth into it. There is the traditional Pantheon ceremony, maiden chorus and a proper feast with over 200 noble guets of various ranks.

By the evening Raellia tells you that she won't be having your children now as she is scared of following Serinda's footsteps.

You two agreee to postpone the 'first night' by a year or maybe two.

845 AD, Summer

There is famine and disease going about! Your populous kingdom has its worst in the west because that's were most of the Kiwi refugees settled down. The governors vary in proposed responses (from moderate to downright murderous), and during a council they forward a letter to you to ask for guidance. You decide to...

A) Provide them with money and materials from the Crown's reserves so they help those suffering.
B) Order them to expel non-Luathbas-born people (read: Kiwis)
C) Let them do what they think is best.

[Chevaleresse]

A, we have monies and a tradition of generosity

[Elephant Parade]

There's no cash shortage or more pressing concerns, so the answer isn't even in question: help the people.

[Haspen]

You provide them with money and supplies so they can ease the suffering of your subjects.

Alas, it has meager effects at helping all. At least the disease, famine and some discontent was fixed with the spent money.

845 AD, Midsummer

The guards hastily report that-

*THUD*

It's Ahab Hahalol again, and he doesn't look particularily happy as he approaches your throne.

"Houlandin III, be blessed on this fine day! I am here to announce that my good King, Master of all Parsia, have decided to stop with the special favors for your merchants. He also wants to note that he is merely acting on the current market situation in Parsia, and if your province happens to gain a pile of coins less than usual - that is not particularily his worry. I have spoken!" He bows and then storms off.

845 AD, Autumn

You receive a letter with the seal of Magnus Parapetus, Governor of Lametanian Province.

In the beginning of the letter he is praising your continuing prosperous reign.

The business at hand is related to the orcs; his soldiers have managed to push back the raiding hordes before they spilled northwards. As the laws of Damed, Heavenly Father, require of him, he has to go forth and vanquish the orcs in their homeland too. As he knows of the history of orcish raids into Luathbas, he is giving you an opportunity to, for once, take the fighting into the mountainous homeland of the orcs and get rid of the raiding menace once and for all - and in the meanwhile, try to melt the lingering ice between your two glorious nations.

You reply that...

A) You're not going to risk such a lenghty campaign at the moment, and thus must refuse.
B) You agree to join the anti-orcish crusade in hopes of forever freeing Luathbas of the orcish warbands!
C) You symphatize with his plight, and while you cannot provide troops, you can send a small portion of the Treasury so he can get extra men from amongst mercenaries.
