Roleplay from Raziella I Himoura Nifelleisca
Message sent to the Rulers of Atamara (13 recipients)
Each ruler finds a gift marked from Lyonesse awaiting at their court. With the exception of Godfrid, Ottar, and Raoul, a message bearing friendly greetings and hopes for pleasant relations with Lyonesse accompanies each gift, signed personally by Queen Raziella and sealed with Lyonesse's royal signet. Godfrid and Raoul find a message bearing only self-written praise for Raziella's ascension; their messages are unsigned, with no royal lyonessian seal having protected its letter. Ottar finds a simple tag addressed to the Tyrant of Tara from the Queen of Lyonesse, with no other content.
The northern rulers of Rieleston, Silnaria, Eston, and Darka find a gift of a cloak with thick, warm sheep wool lining the inside. The outside is of their realm's primary color with their realm's heraldic symbol embroidered in their realm's secondary color.
The southern rulers of Talerium, Caergoth, Suville, Strombran, Carelia, and the Cagilan Empire know their gift before even reading the accompanying message, as beside their throne sits their realm's heraldic symbol, as tall as a man, carved from the greatest trees of Lyonesse and beautifully polished.
The rulers of Rieleston and Eston also find a vintage wine from the era of King Andrew McKay.
All rulers can tell that the gifts would've required more time to prepare than just the time since Queen Raziella's election. It was evident some weeks had gone into the gifts, as if Raziella expected to be Queen and had prepared accordingly.
Godfrid and Raoul find a gift of a severed decomposing undead head. Ottar's package is the most well-wrapped, with gold and silver leaf. Within it, there is nothing but emptiness, however.

EDIT for Forum: If you have a character in Atamara and you ruler didn't happen to share the roleplay with your realm, feel free to consider yourself as having learned about your ruler's gift through rumours.
