Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

B  After nearly two years it's time to at least check if there are any good offers. Or even make a proposal of our own since we know what we want most.

Haspen—
Other lands are ruled by a queen, is our culture particularly obstinate or could there be some (possibly twisty) path to daughter inheritance? At the least if, for whatever future reasons, a son just isn't rolled up?

Well, I guess that one's probably a coin flip but you get the idea.

True, we could always stab Salic Law in the eye and get things to cognatic or at least merely agnatic preference succession.

We must learn to love again.

B That will keep gedavinah nonsense out of our head.

Fairly certain Haspen hates it when people bump his threads, so don't do it.

Ye when people bump, I take even more of sweet time to get back and update v;


You agree to let them find you a proper wife. The councilmembers sigh collectively in relief.

Few days later, gemstones arrive at your Treasury, while silver is sent eastwards.

1096 AD, Midwinter

On a very snowy, very windy morning, your guards enter your chambers and announce that two delegates seek audience. One is from the distant Eldrican Kingdom, wishing to discuss the situation with Kiwis, Kois and Felonsines. The other diplomat is from Ceodwell, with offer of royal marriage from his King. As you dress up, you tell the guards that you will first meet with...

A) The Eldrican emissary.
B) The Ceodwell envoy.

[Kashyyk]

B - Ceodwell is closer, thus more important.

[Lucus Casius]

A.  They came farther, so the matter must be of greater importance.

[Harry Baldman]

A, we've been waiting on updates about this for a while now.

[helmacon]

A

If our goals are changing, we may be looking to gain something different marriage. We should know where we stand first.

[Haspen]

You arrive in the throne room as the Eldrican diplomat is brought in.

"Greetings, King Yoe of Methiant! Our campaign against Koi and Kiwi has been a success. The Duchy of Koi has been annexed and the Kiwis are now our vassals. Nothing but a small unit of noble cavalry arrived from Felonsein to help them, and we believe it you our King has to thank for. Therefore he wishes to know what you desire more, ties to his powerful family or secrets of Fireblood?"

A) "Calling him a brother would be an honour. Let's arrange a marriage between our kingdoms."
B) "An infusion of western schematics will do nicely to advance our own Blackheart development."
C) "Those aren't what I hoped for, in terms of a reward. Is there anything else I could have?"

[helmacon]

B

[Harry Baldman]

B - we can shop around for other brides easily enough, but Fireblood may well last forever.

[omada]

Aren't already his daughter promised to one of our sons should it be born? And also the schematics?

"While, the Felonsine territories that you get! Plus also we know that your father pursued knowledge of Fireblood; we will thus provide you with Felonsine and our own designs. And, Queen Velela has recently given birth to a daughter, so King Elran III wouldn't be averse to a bethrothal of hers to your sons, if you get any?"

Did an emmissary fooled us?
A) Err, unless they had other kids that could marry us or our daughter, it will be a poor choice.

B) a new weapon is nice, although we don't exactly have the ammunition we can figure someway to do deals like the felonsine did, offer our blackhearts in trade for material or coin or both. plus, never depend on other nations to offer it to us (until we die)

C) "Hey we did this deal but as you don't remember it well or we were fooled we might know what else you can offer" something nicer can appear here, if there is a roll it can end poorly or way better
