Luria

[Stabbity]

Because it's Luria

Might as well paint a target on your back.

[Anaris]

Yes, but she does have Alanna giving her pointers on how to dance in an arrow storm.

(...I can just picture Alice dancing madly to avoid all the arrows, while Alanna sits off to the side, out of the line of fire, sipping tea and calling out advice...)

Precisely. Please make it alternating black and yellow in order to increase visibility from a distance. Kthx.

Nor is it ever really in Malus' interests to create instability unnecessarily. I think she'll be fine. For the most part.

Alanna sounds like a master of Lurian politics who is staying out of power and the public eye by choice, from what I hear OOC.

Alanna invented Lurian politics.

Alanna invented Lurian politics.

It seemed like it. A bit of an add-on would be I see here as a bit of a grandmaster-type that's kinda retired, though I don't mean retired exactly.

Being a lurian queen is easy, you should strive to become empress!

Point.

Also something only Alanna has ever pulled off.

Alanna is the only remnant of the old Pian en Luries from its founding day, and probably one of the bitchinest rulers in Dwilight history. If there was a record for most attempted or succesful coups survived, she'd be a clear winner :p

Based on what? I can only think of four people who have ever held that title, and one of those was by marriage.

Sup. Took me all of like a week.

Oh, that's right; I'd forgotten that Jonsu was married to Sevastian during the period he was Arbiter. So that's two by marriage.

Forget being the actual Monarch. It's all about being the Prince-Consort. All of the benefit, zero responsibility, regular loving from the Queen.
