A good read, though some parts feel a little dated.

I also wasn't aware Barca was formed by Giaskian exiles. Funny how every now and then, the Lurias have a struggle and it results in immigrants for the occidens. Giask then, Luria Vesperi today.

Yeah, it's quite dated– which makes it fun.

The commentary about Caerwyn and Aurvandil I find particularly amusing.

Maybe I'll write a second volume. Actually, I think I will. Tonight.

So, D'hara, rumour has it Bowie is being considered for a particularly special honourary position? Can I get a little insider detail as to what's up with that? Maybe a little triumphant parade? Or a bit of a regal crown and cloak combo? Give me Sallowtown maybe?  ;D Hm?

We got priest Constantine arguing for voting for a monarch instead of being selected by a line of succession. How lame. He claims its tradition and custom but we have never actually elected a monarch. Also, your not the only suggestion anymore. That, and you wouldn't be head of government or have any direct power related to the government at the current time.  ;D We need a face for laughter.

Anything's better than a non existent figure head whose namesake would rather sleep for 10,000 years than bone his powerfully hot girlfriend(s).

Hmm, I now see an odd similarity between the D'Haran monarch and the Warcraft druid/demigod...

If there's one thing I can deliver on, its a good show. My constituents bank on that election after election.

Constantine's advocacy of elective monarchy and the possible ascension of an Ironsides to the throne are not unrelated. Considering he was one of the Elders that protested at Bowie being ruler of Swordfell, he's hardly thrilled with the idea of his future ruler being a relation of Bowie's.

D'Hara better not give this monarch too much power.

That there Treaty of the Maroccidens has some things to say 'bout that.

Currently the plan is no power over government matters. Rynn was considered but it was all agreed because of the Treaty of Maroccidens it was best not to have the monarch and Prime Minister be the same person.

She's already been spoken for actually. Her hand went pretty fast once she was remembered as a NPC.


So what I am hearing from all of this is: Vote Demon for President!!!

Jonsu Himoura clearly should act as Lady Protector until Rathan's son is old enough.

I think many D'Harans would prefer to not have one of the realm's biggest critics proclaimed Lady Protector. I don't see that ending well, for some reason.  :P
