[14:25] <EmpressAstarial> Then a holy crusade it shall be!
[14:29] <Jamie> Hail the TNP monarchy!
[14:30] <Jamie> Hail Empresss Astarial!
[14:35] <mcmasterdonia> Hail the Empress!
[14:36] <mcmasterdonia> What shall my position we EmpressAstarial?
[14:36] <mcmasterdonia> *be

[14:38] <EmpressAstarial> Mcmasterdonia, you shall take over the delegacy.
[14:39] <Kingborough> Lol
[14:39] <Kingborough> Many would love you just for that decree x_X
[14:39] <EmpressAstarial> I am a lovable and benevolent Empress.
[14:40] <Jamie> What's my job?
[14:41] <EmpressAstarial> Hm. An excellent question.
[14:41] <Bel> My Empress, I must inform you that you are bound by the regions recent decision regarding the delegates marriage.
[14:42] <Bel> For the good of the region, you must marry Blue Wolf, as well as every GCR delegate
[14:42] <EmpressAstarial> I am happy to abide by the region's decision.
[14:42] <EmpressAstarial> Mcmasterdonia, as delegate, shall take my place.
[14:43] <EmpressAstarial> Jamie, you shall be vice delegate.
[14:43] <Jamie> :O
[14:43] <Bel> My Empress, for the good of the region you must establish an heir designate.
[14:44] <EmpressAstarial> I designate Abbey.
[14:45] <Bel> Very good your grace. I am aware of no other pressing constitutional issues for your attention.
[14:46] <Bel> Now, if you could just sign this document, everything will be in order
[14:46] * Bel proffers large bundle of papers
[14:47] <EmpressAstarial> I hope I am not going to need to hire outside counsel to advise me on these documents.
[14:47] <Kingborough> You still surelly require such Your Imperial Majesty
[14:48] <Bel> No need, your grace

[14:49] * EmpressAstarial quirks an eyebrow
[14:49] <EmpressAstarial> Are any of these edicts ones which I may have forgotten issuing?
[14:49] <Bel> Your majesty, if you can not trust an officer of the Court, whom can you trust?
[14:50] <Kingborough> My point exactly, trust is a terrible thing to have as a ruler
[14:50] <Bel> Surely you are not questioning my integrity and loyalty to your personage?
[14:50] <EmpressAstarial> Not at all, my good sir.
[14:50] <EmpressAstarial> No more than I question your integrity and loyalty to yourself.
[14:50] * EmpressAstarial puts on her reading glasses
[14:51] <Bel> Your majesty.... I must say I am offended that you feel this is necessary.
[14:51] * EmpressAstarial reads through the stack of papers carefully and signs all of the edicts declared above
[14:51] <EmpressAstarial> I'm sure you would agree, my lord, that it is better to be safe than sorry.

[14:52] <Bel> I am to be made a Peer?
[14:52] <Bel> Such an... unexpected honour.

[14:53] <EmpressAstarial> Welcome, sir.
[14:53] <EmpressAstarial> And yes, my Bel, of course. 'Twould not be fitting for a high justice to not have a land and a title!

[14:54] * Bel doffs his most remarkable hat
[14:54] <Bel> I am honoured, your grace.

[14:29] <Jamie> Hail the TNP monarchy!
[14:30] <Jamie> Hail Empresss Astarial!
[14:35] <mcmasterdonia> Hail the Empress!
[14:36] <mcmasterdonia> What shall my position we EmpressAstarial?
[14:36] <mcmasterdonia> *be
[14:38] <EmpressAstarial> Hm
[14:38] <EmpressAstarial> Mcmasterdonia, you shall take over the delegacy.
[14:39] <Kingborough> Lol
[14:39] <Kingborough> Many would love you just for that decree x_X
[14:39] <EmpressAstarial> I am a lovable and benevolent Empress.
[14:40] <Jamie> What's my job?
[14:41] <EmpressAstarial> Hm. An excellent question.
[14:41] <Bel> My Empress, I must inform you that you are bound by the regions recent decision regarding the delegates marriage.
[14:42] <Bel> For the good of the region, you must marry Blue Wolf, as well as every GCR delegate
[14:42] <EmpressAstarial> I am happy to abide by the region's decision.
[14:42] <EmpressAstarial> Mcmasterdonia, as delegate, shall take my place.
[14:43] <EmpressAstarial> Jamie, you shall be vice delegate.
[14:43] <Jamie> :O
[14:43] <Bel> My Empress, for the good of the region you must establish an heir designate.
[14:44] <EmpressAstarial> I designate Abbey.
[14:45] <Bel> Very good your grace. I am aware of no other pressing constitutional issues for your attention.
[14:46] <Bel> Now, if you could just sign this document, everything will be in order
[14:46] * Bel proffers large bundle of papers
[14:47] <EmpressAstarial> I hope I am not going to need to hire outside counsel to advise me on these documents.
[14:47] <Kingborough> You still surelly require such Your Imperial Majesty
[14:48] <Bel> No need, your grace

[14:48] <Bel> They merely confirm certain edicts issues by your personage
[14:49] <Kingborough> Which for all you know might include giving Bel your entire wealth
[14:49] * EmpressAstarial quirks an eyebrow
[14:49] <EmpressAstarial> Are any of these edicts ones which I may have forgotten issuing?
[14:49] <Bel> Your majesty, if you can not trust an officer of the Court, whom can you trust?
[14:50] <Kingborough> My point exactly, trust is a terrible thing to have as a ruler
[14:50] <Bel> Surely you are not questioning my integrity and loyalty to your personage?
[14:50] <EmpressAstarial> Not at all, my good sir.
[14:50] <EmpressAstarial> No more than I question your integrity and loyalty to yourself.
[14:50] * EmpressAstarial puts on her reading glasses
[14:51] <Bel> Your majesty.... I must say I am offended that you feel this is necessary.
[14:51] * EmpressAstarial reads through the stack of papers carefully and signs all of the edicts declared above
[14:51] <EmpressAstarial> I'm sure you would agree, my lord, that it is better to be safe than sorry.
[14:52] <Bel> My,,, my Lord?
[14:52] <Bel> I am to be made a Peer?
[14:52] <Bel> Such an... unexpected honour.
[14:52] <Eluvatar> what.
[14:52] <Bel> Silence Nave!!
[14:52] <Bel> Bow in the presence of her grace!
[14:53] <Eluvatar> I think you meant knave.
[14:53] <EmpressAstarial> Ah, Eluvatar has joined us
[14:53] <EmpressAstarial> Welcome, sir.
[14:53] <EmpressAstarial> And yes, my Bel, of course. 'Twould not be fitting for a high justice to not have a land and a title!
[14:53] <EmpressAstarial> Unthinkable!
[14:54] * Bel doffs his most remarkable hat
[14:54] <Bel> I am honoured, your grace.
[14:55] <Kingborough> Might I have a peerage? Perhaps Basileaus Kingborough?
[14:55] <Kingborough> Basileus*

[15:08] <EmpressAstarial> I decreed you lord of Kingborough Basileus, a small region within my realm.
[15:08] <Kingborough> By that standard I could decree you not Empress
[15:08] <EmpressAstarial> Being never emperor, that is not within your power.
[15:09] <EmpressAstarial> I decreed you not, and not, I decreed you not-Emperor
