Well, except the Princess.

But marching in with soldiers shan't endear you to her.

I merely have an escort. The kingdom is at war, after all.

Well that's a very big escort it's what 250 Cavalry? At the moment the Crownlands are safe, maybe later on bandits and maybe deserters might be a problem but at the moment I would say its safe enough for you to travel with a moderate numbers for a escort. If you want to spare expenses then it would have been cheaper and more efficient to travel with less then 250 cavalry. That's like traveling with a small army but if protection is more valuable then coin then its worth the expense.

Side Note: Where at on the map are you at? I mean the lands you rule as a Vessel?

To put it bluntly: the Aurensteins are a bunch of frightened weasels. If this were a GoT roleplay, think of the Freys. Besides, the escort is indeed also a statement.

And the geographic position doesn't really matter to me. If I had the choice, I'd say relatively close to Velunia, around "Breckincourt".

I just like knowing where everyone is based at that's why I like role plays with maps makes things easier. Rolling into the Capital with such a large Escort will cause a stir but I say go for it.

What's the name of the Aurenstein seat of power? I need like a town, or castle. Is it Clere, Highclere, or Highclere Hall?

The town is called Clere, hence Highclere Hall and Highclere castle.

I noticed New Lowlands called a River the Great River so that could be the name for the one he or she requested. For the name of the river I requested I'm not great with names but how does the River of Virtue sound?

River of Arwey, please.


And I will put a post of cities in the morning that you can dot around Alanthi, if you could do so please?

Thanks again, Damak. :)

Damak will be controlling the Dreys now, seeing as they're now going to the crownlands and will join the royal army (probably a little late)
it is my firm belief that I should never have to justify my beliefs.

To the most esteemed Lord Hector of House Delacroix

Dear Lord Hector

It has been ages since we have last spoken each other. In truth, it has been ages since I have last spoken any great Lord. I have much been…wronged lately by... Lords in high positions. I fear I have resided too long in my own small holdings, never seeing the outside world. Can I be so bold as to invite myself to travel to your beautiful domain of Firania? I know that High Lords as yourself have much to occupy themselves with, but mayhaps you can spare some moments?

Kind greetings,
Violet Häber of Aurenstein, Dowager Countess of Highclere


Dear Prince;

Lord Hector is with a big fleet in this moment in Barter Bay. I don't think you will be able to contact him for an encounter unless you pull out a miracle and conquer Sturmwall alone.

Drat! That's the second time I miscommunicate. Can you send some sort of standard reply from the regional capital, stating that Lord Hector "is not at home"?

As soon as I can, I would like to incorporate it with something else, maybe Jestrion noticing Jonathan. Otherwise I will.

I'm going to march the army into Kursturm first. Jestrion will notice Jonathan once they first make camp again.
