<wordwrap>
* Justine is eagerly awaiting your report the morning after the ball.
She brings breakfast to your room so you can talk.
[Justine] So? Did you enjoy yourself? :)
[Ilphere] Oh... good morning, Maman...!
* Ilphere looks a little glum, or apprehensive...
[Justine] Is something the matter?
[Ilphere] I did have a good time ... but then...
[Ilphere] IOh I don't know what to do...!
[Ilphere] Things were going very well with Menard, and then...!
[Ilphere] And then I was dancing with the Emperor and he said...
* Justine sits down on the edge of your bed, listening intently.
[Ilphere] He said he didn't think I should marry his brother anymore...!
[Justine] Oh, dearest, no!
* Ilphere 's voice climbs in pitch..!
* Justine looks very upset.
[Ilphere] He wants to fob me off on the Compte de Desperee!
[Justine] Oh... oh.
* Justine considers this for a moment.
[Ilphere] Some old man...!
[Justine] Your father's age. :/
[Ilphere] He probably has grown children already, at least as old as I am...!
* Justine nods.
[Justine] He has two, I think. Younger than you, but not much.
[Justine] It... it would not be such a terrible match, if it must happen :/
[Ilphere] Oh Maman...! How can you say that..?!
[Justine] Oh, I know, sweetheart.
[Ilphere] It is... It is insulting...!
* Ilphere lets some of her anger at Marl come out, even if she can't
tell her mother all of what he said...!
[Ilphere] He was... quite rude!!
[Justine] To you? :o
[Justine] What did he say? Perhaps you only misunderstood.
[Ilphere] I don't recall exactly... Something about how he had thought
it over and I was not suited to his brother, how the Count was better
suited to match someone from our family...!
* Justine frowns.
[Justine] Well, that is absurd!
[Ilphere] And... and I was beginning to quite like Menard... :(
[Justine] The Escaleras are a very good family, of course, nothing to
sneeze at. Kaladon will be Duke of Mearim when his parents pass on.
But - as you said, he has two children already, and so any children
you might have, they would hardly be likely to inherit his titles.
[Ilphere] So what would even be the point..?!
[Ilphere] It doesn't help our family at all...!
[Justine] Well, the security, the money... :/
[Ilphere] I might as well marry some rich *merchant*...!
* Justine looks horrified.
* Ilphere covers her face in her hands, wishing she could tell her
mother the rest of it without being disowned.
[Justine] Oh no, dear, it's not as bad as all that! :o
[Justine] But... he *is* much older. I believe he is in the Order of
the Spoke as well - not the sort of husband a young girl dreams of :/
[Ilphere] No indeed....!
* Ilphere concurs morosely.
[Justine] You say you believed you were getting on well with Prince Menard?
* Ilphere nods.
[Ilphere] He seemed to like me, I thought....
[Justine] Well, then surely this is not *his* decision.
* Justine says confidently.
[Justine] And if he had become betrothed to someone else, surely we
should have heard about it.
[Ilphere] I don't know how much influence Marl has over his brother...
* Ilphere says hesitantly.
* Justine considers,.
[Justine] If you could meet with Menard - just to gauge his feelings
about this, and see if, by any chance, he is unhappy about it...
[Justine] Well.
[Justine] There are many factors to be weighed here, my sweet.
[Ilphere] You think it is worth a try...?
[Justine] I am not certain. A marriage to the Emperor's brother does
us little good if the Emperor himself opposes it. He could ruin us,
all of us, if he so chose.
[Justine] But...
* Ilphere nods glumly, looking down at her hands.
[Justine] If Menard has some influence over his brother, and could
speak to him about this, perhaps sway him... it might be worth trying,
at least.
[Justine] We must be cautious about this, though.
[Ilphere] I don't want to marry the comte de Desperee...
[Ilphere] Cautious...?
[Justine] If word gets out that we were going against the Emperor's
express wishes in such a matter, it could cause a great deal of
trouble.
[Justine] It may be that you have to meet the Count, at the very
least, to preserve the impression that we are amenable to the match.
[Ilphere] . o O ( I wonder if I could put *him* off... )
[Ilphere] I.. I suppose...
[Ilphere] But not until Marl proposes it officially... right...?
* Justine pats your hand.
[Justine] If the Count comes calling on your father, we shall have to
receive him, of course.
* Ilphere nods again...
[Ilphere] But I would really like to talk to Menard...
[Justine] We will solve this problem, Ilphere. No daughter of mine is
going to be forced into a loveless marriage!
* Ilphere puts on a brave face...
[Ilphere] Thank you...!
[Justine] But... promise me this. If you keep an open mind about the
Count - perhaps he is not so bad as he sounds. If you think you could
be content with him, then... perhaps it would be simplest.
[Ilphere] I... I will try... :(
[Ilphere] . o O ( not very hard...! )
[Justine] As for Menard - it might be that the best thing would be for
you to send him a note yourself. He will know you are serious about
things then.
[Ilphere] Very well... I will...!
[Ilphere] How much do you think I should say...?
* Justine considers that.
[Justine] You have to let him know that you are unhappy, though not
terribly obviously of course.
[Justine] Perhaps you could say something like "Certain unwelcome
developments give me cause to wish to speak with you at your earliest
convenience."
[Ilphere] Yes, that's very good...!
* Ilphere agrees eagerly...!
* Justine smiles.
[Justine] I hope he will read between then lines, then.
[Justine] And if he calls here, your father and I will make ourselves scarce.
[Ilphere] Thank you…!
* Justine gives you a kiss on the forehead and leaves you to ready
yourself for the day, then.

Five Kingdoms

'''GM''': [[User:Fritzleonhardt|Joel]]

'''System''': D&D e3.5

'''First session''':

==Characters==

* [[Kaia Alcandrous]]
* [[Xavier Marias Alviego del Solsancto de Torreblanca]]
* [[Jola Xilos]]
* [[Oshairana Bertrand]]
* [[Taharqa]]

==Setting==

===Background===

Approximately 900 years ago, a man by the name of [[Speir Tans]], captain of the [[Red Legion]], built a city which he named [[Freistadt]] at a strategic location which connected trade and invasion routes. Through various means, both military and political, Speir was able to unite the five greatest powers into a league with common laws and open trade with Freistadt as the capital.

Each kingdom is autonomous when it comes to which type of government that it chooses and the running of its own internal affairs. If a particular kingdom’s politics becomes too unstable and threatens surrounding kingdoms then it is not unknown for the Army of Freistadt to interfere directly and restore under. This effectively makes the league an hegemony with Freistadt in control.

Skirmishing among the Five Kingdoms is not uncommon and is usually tolerated by Freistadt as long as it does not interfere with trade and it is confined to two of the kingdoms. Freistadt also uses this to stop one kingdom from becoming too powerful and unbalancing what is in place.

This world is one of low-magic. Magic exists but it is not a normal part of everyday life. Arcane magic is tightly controlled and its practitioners are viewed with suspicion. Divine magic exists but only clerics of a few gods are able to cast it. Divine spells like “Resurrection” are rare and special so death is a major reality of this world.

The five nations that make up the Kingdom
* [[Agathos]]
* [[Jorlund]]
* [[Khet]]
* [[Lycadros]]
* [[Medeira]]

===Other Peoples===

There are several other cultural groups that exist around the finges of the five kingdoms. These include:

* The [[Tchok]]
* The [[Orsh]]
* The [[Sea People]]
* The [[El]]

===Religion===

Each of these gods has a major temple in Freistadt. While they have major centres of worship temples to them can be found through out the Five Kingdoms. There are more gods than those listed below but these are the only ones who have the power to grant their clerics divine spells. Gods that do not grant spells are commonly called small gods. There is belief in an afterlife but it is pictured as being bleak and dreary, a land of fog and shadow that is commonly referred to as the Mist.

* [[Brhys]]
* [[Crom-ya]]
* [[Death]]
* [[Glit]]
* [[Hath]]
* [[Marim]]
