Following the end of hostilities in Cronaal the Khan has decided his youngest sister Zara is to marry and has issued invitations to the noble houses of the North Pacific in order to find an acceptable suitor.

Zara is 17 years old, the youngest of the Khan's sisters and recently graduated from Crescentmaw Academy as a nursing officer with the rank of Lieutenant. Her main hobbies include painting, fencing and kickboxing. It should also be noted she has heterochromia, with one green and one brown eye. She has a slim, athletic build bt lacks the more defined musculature of her siblings.

The Khan eagerly awaits all replies.
 
The Royal Family of Guslantis offers Viscount Marcus Charles of Augustus Town, eighteen year old brother of Duchess Leah Charles, who is Minister of Human Services. Marcus is an athlete, having played on youth soccer teams since he was five. Although he has an athletic build, Marcus would like to become an ambassador of Guslantis, and maybe serve on the Cabinet with his sister as Associate Minister of Foreign Affairs.
 
The Princess is most intrigued, she wishes to meet the Viscount in person, we can have rooms prepared for his grace and a party of his choosing as soon as is convenient.
 
If the young lady wishes to pursue a future of her own choosing, she is more than welcome to apply to any of Sadakoyama's fine colleges.
 
The princess is a fully qualified nurse and holds rank in the civil medical service, she fully consents to the idea.
 
Wolfsea:
The princess is a fully qualified nurse and holds rank in the civil medical service, she fully consents to the idea.
Excellent, we will dispatch a proctor immediately, with your permission.
 
To the Khan of Wolfsea,

While the Confederation holds no royal families or monarchies, we do have our Elders who represent a vital link to the Kaltian past. If the princess so chooses, I can get in touch with them and see if any would be willing to send their children forward.

Kind regards,
Solveig Nightsong
Councilor of Finance
President of the Confederation

No I mean she consents to the marriage, she's already completed her education.

Our apologies for the misunderstanding.

What a curious notion, "completed her education". A Sadakhan never stops learning.

In Wolfsea we regard standard education as being complete after graduating from the academy, anything afterwards is regarded as Personal Advancement.
 
Princess Zara,

The Elders of the Federation of Kalti hold a special place in the hearts of Kaltians. They keep the stories and heroics of the past alive and make sure that the eight tribes are honored and respected in order to pay homage to the ancestors. As such, the Elders of the Cimmeron Tribe of Castelli di Summerland and of the Remont Tribe of Castelli di Renzia / Castelli di Montia put forward their sons for your consideration.

Elder Seli and her husband Ishtim present their son, Amesir:
Amesir is 21 years old and completed his mandatory military service with the Kaltian Army where he reached the rank of Sergeant, the highest rank possible during the requisite military service. He enjoys fencing, reading and conservations about history and philosophy.

Elder Keyana and his wife Nenluana present their son, Aladal:
Aladal is 20 years old and just recently completed his mandatory military service with the Kaltian Navy where he reached the rank of Petty Officer, the highest rank possible during the requisite military service. He enjoys surfing, hiking and spending as much time as possible outdoors.

The noble and royal families of Ceretis present two suitors for consideration:

WE2uZ6pm.jpg
Son of Archduke Fox and Magnolia Wiggin of house Wiggin; cadet house to the royal family. Andrew is 18 years old, and a very intelligent especially in strategy. Currently serving his compulsory military service; he has chosen the Ceretian Marine Corps and has been assigned to Military Assault Command Operations.
In his spare time among other hobbies, he enjoys writing, martial arts, rock climbing, diving, hunting, and blacksmithing.

eCeJO35m.jpg
Youngest son of Harold and Maggie Callahan and fraternal twin to Morgan Callahan. Owen is 19 years old and is also serving his term of compulsory military service; he sought entry into the air force, but was recruited to serve in the Office of Strategic Services after placement scores showed particular aptitude for OSS work.
He enjoys fishing, electronics, flying, survivalism, archeology, and fencing among other activities in his free time.
 
We extend a warm welcome to Both the Earl and the Tsarevotch, we shall prepare rooms immediately for them and any companions they require.
 
Princess Zara,

Aladal and I will be flying from Kalti to Wolfsea aboard one of the Estate's private jets (Monolit L 8:22). While our parents would love to join us, they are currently preoccupied by tribal matters back home. Instead, Councilor Netzia Artyn of the Kaltian Council and the Department of Environment and Energy shall acompany us. Due to this, we shall be escorted by five Guardians of the Confederation: Diplomatic Corps as a security detail. Both Aladal and I look forward to meeting you and seeing your beautiful country.

Kind regards,
Amesir
 
To Aladal and Amesir

I look forward to your arrival in Crescentmaw, I am certain you will both enjoy your visit to Wolfsea. Believe me I understand entirely that you are required to bring security. Regardless I eagerly await the chance t meet you both.

signed Zara
 
Sorry, we had a monarch change to worry about. As Leah has taken the throne, Marcus is considered part of the royal family, though he is not in the line of succession. He will be flying aboard the royal jet and staying the designated building.
 
This is absolutely not a problem, all guest quarters being used are located in the east wing of the palace. We hope that Marcus will enjoy his stay.
 
((So people still interested in this plotline or should I just cut losses and decide randomly what happens?))
 
I could offer a couple of options.

Prince Philip of Issabela, cousin of King-Regent Albert of Mcmasterdonia. 79 years of age. He currently governs Issabella and the Ancient Province. Considered to be a tremendously successful military leader and was an economics professor at the New Intelligentsia University. He also served as minister of defence between 1979-1988 during the reign of King Louis XIV.

Secondly I have Prince Alexander, brother to King-Regent Albert of McMasterdonia. Alexander is the Lord Paramount of the North Eastern City of Caspius, the second largest city in the nation. He is a successful leader and diplomat, but largely rejects royalty and the idea of hereditary rule. Only accepts it out of duty to his family. Very senior and respected member of the royal family, but somewhat disengaged from the intelligentsia elite. 29 years old.
 
Since my original posting with Aladal and Amesir, I have changed quite a bit of the facts surrounding my nation. As such, I offer the revised character's for use in this role-play.

Amesir is 21 years old and from Nova Roma, the capital of the Porta Capena region (Callaici).
His father is the current Praeses Sapientia of Callaici (the President of Wisdom of Callici) while his mother is retired.
He completed his mandatory military service with the Royal Confederation Forces where he reached the rank of Petty Officer in the Marmore Mandatum Navy of Callaici.
He enjoys fencing, reading and conversations about history.

Aladal is 20 years old and from Vindivik, the capital of the Berane region (Kalti).
Both his father and his mother are the Elders of the Andusk Tribe.
He recently completed his mandatory military service with the Royal Confederation Forces where he reached the rank of Corporal in the Ordu Oileain Military of Kalti.
He enjoys hiking, rock climbing and being outdoors.

I can role-play with both or just one, let me know.
 
(Ok, if you are choosing Amesir, there will be a small contingent of five Guardians as his security detail due to his status as the son of a current Confederation leader. I'll write up some backstory stuff and post it either later tonight or tomorrow morning.)
 
Yes, since the original posting, Marcus is now a Prince (since his sister is Queen), and has fulfilled his goal of serving on the Cabinet and is now Associate Minister of Foreign Affairs.
 
Wolfsea:
Uh, well, 79 is really a wee bit too old...

Shame. I thought this was a bit more old school, most of the suitors being the same age is a tad unrealistic for an arranged marriage. Royalty typically has never had a problem with marrying the young to the old, the healthy to the sick, the intelligent to the stupid, if it meant it would advance their power and prestige.

What about Prince Alexander at 29 years of age?
 
Kalti, that's not a problem.

Bootsie, that also is not a problem

McM, yes but 62 years is a hell of an age difference, 12 years is a lot more manageable.
 
Nova Roma, Porta Capena, Callaici
Amesir had gone to the Halls of Understanding to meet with his father, Vandi, who was working late at his office. After being cleared by the Guardians at the entrance he knocked on the office door and waited until his father called him in. After a few moments, Amesir heard his father call for him to enter and he did whereupon he sat down in one of the two lavish chairs in front of his fathers desk. "Son, it's good to see you but what brings you to my office this late?" Amesir shrugged, "I could have waited until you came home but the matter at hand requires you acting in your role as Praeses Sapientia of Callaici." A look of confusion momentarily crossed Vandi's face, "oh? And what would that be?" "I've been invited by the Khan of Wolfsea to come and meet his daughter, Zara, who he is offering her hand in marriage." A look of understanding crossed his fathers face, "and I can assume you are here to not only ask for my blessing but for the use of one of the Concorde Monolit L planes?" Amesir sighed, "there really is no hiding my intention from you is there?" Vandi looked at his son waiting for an answer, "no there is not but do keep in mind that your mother and I are very proud of you in whatever you do. I'll authorize you to have custody of the Concorde Monolit L 10-50 for the next two weeks along with a small contingent of five Guardians." Amesir seems startled at the high number of security, "thank you Dad but do I need so much security, I'm sure the Khan will have his own." "Oh, I'm not worried about them, I'm worried about you being the second highest ranking official in Callaici, your security is vital." Resigned to his fate, "fine, fine... thank you for lending me the plane."

Afterwards, the conversation turned to shared common interests and what Zara would be like. Both father and son retired late at night and returned home. Amesir packed and decided to call up the crew of the Monolit L 10-50 and have them ready for take off in the next day or two to head down to Wolfsea.
 
(Zara's his sister Kal XD Sebt's daughter is a two month old "sir not-appearring-in-this-play.)

Zara sighed, easing off her boots as she sat upon her bed, she had just put on a pair of thin slippers when there was a knock at the door "Come in?" She said, confused as to why anyone would be knocking for her. From around the door came Goltah's head "Zara, I apologise for intruding, I know you had a long shift today." "It's alright Elder, I'm just glad I get assigned to the Maternity Wards next month..."the princess smiled warmly "What's up?" Suddenly remembering Goltah was here for a reason. Goltah smiled "The Khan has requested your presence in his office, it seems we have had responses to your marital arrangements." The older man explained. Zara nodded and got to her feet, accompanying Goltah to her brothers office.


As they approached Zara could see a few of the Grand Legates milling around outside the Khan's office, she could tell one of them had noticed thee small bunny motiff on her slippers but she could tell that the usually jovial head of the Civil Engineering corps seemed almost afraid to crack a joke as he normally would. Shoving out of her mind she went inside and saw Sebt sat at his desk, he looked haggard, far from his usual self "Brother? You wanted to see me?" Causing him to look up from the report he had been reading"Yes, I have some good news..." Sliding a set of files across the table. Zara picked them up and opened them as Sebt talked "It looks like some of the most eligible young men in the region are seeking your hand, you even recueved an offer of a place in Sadokayama's best university..." "I didn't expect any, its a bit of a surprise." Zara smiled, as she read through her prospective suitors dossiers before Sebt continued "Naturally they will stay in Wolfsea while courting you, but remember, this was your idea... You have to stick by your decision..." the Khan sighed, clearly not concentrating "We're expecting the Kaltian representative, Amesir, to arrive in the next few days. I have already had you granted indefinite leave." "but, I was due for..." Zara suddenly stopped her protestation as Sebt raised his hand to stop her "This is more important. You're dismissed Lieutenant." He sighed, Zara scowled at him, using rank was his way of saying the discussion was over,, she took the dossiers back to her room and began examining each suitor in detail, Amesir was certainly intriguing, as was the Guslant Prince Marcus, She sat back in her chair and checked to see what was on-stream, she managed to find a few episodes of Woodland Row, a smile crossing her face again, it had been her favourite as a child and she still enjoyed watching it if only for nostalgia, she couldn't quite stop thinking about how this whole courtship would go.
 
On behalf of Her Majesty Catheryn II, the Queen of Esplandia would like to send her eldest grandson Irwin Rhodes de Dracosta as a possible suitor for Her Lady, Zara. Irwin is 17 as well, and has recently graduated from the Royal academy with a degree in Law, and is preparing for his two year military service, which Her Majesty will delay while Zara meets young Irwin and gets to know him.

Blessings of the Three Gods upon Thee,
Charlotte Halpern,

Certainly, the Khan thanks her majesty for sending Irwin.
 
The Syrixian Empire will be willing to send Jodha, Princess of Srinagar. She is the youngest daughter of Maharaja Rajesh III.
