Shireroth

The capital of Blackrock, Blackrock Nua, will be renamed in St.-Kildare (Saint-Kildare).
The city St.-Kildare will become also capital of our great and mighty Duchy of Kildare.

The Duke,
Jonas Windsor

What's the problem, Benkern?

Just its Blackrock... I don't see what Saint Kildare has to do with Blackrock, other than being the name of its Duchy.

The name Blackrock Nua has historical significance... it was the name that Blackrock participated in the UAS under. Still... the memory will not be forgotten despite one (quite appropriate) name change...

What?! Do you mean you want to recall it back to it's old name?
You, a peassant (sorry ), are arguing with me, a mighty and noble Duke, about a name?!

Hhmm... maybe your right... I will call my advisors (Barons).

Ow, that's changing the case! I rename it in Blackrock Nua (the old name). But it stays the capital of our Duchy

Many pardons, My Lord Duke, but Ari is Duke of Straylight, and not some peasant.

I think it was benkern he was calling a peasant, not me... though I wouldn't mind being called a peasant here, really, I don't really have any power over Kildare other than through my vote in the Landsraad...

I read it as Benkern too ...

Me too...

Ow yes

I am got the peasant!

Hopefully you already noticed, but in the interest of historical accuracy: What I said about Blackrock Nua here wasn't really very... well... OK, it did have some kind of relation to the actual events, but not exactly a strong one. See the work Scott did on the ShireWiki article on Blackrock for a better treatment...

He has destroyed the article... it was so empy... but now...
Thanks to Scott!

I seem to have misread the previous post, and have since become assured that Benkern was, indeed, the person referenced. I apologize for the misunderstanding.

I forgive you, My Baroness.

Personally.. I kinda liked the old name better... But that's just me...

It was recalled Blackrock Nua, after some minutes

Am I happy I didn't changed the name! Saint-Kildare doesn't sound very good for a ducal capital

Blackrock Nua isn't fantastic either.

No, it is quite nice. Considering this is Antya anyway.

Saint-Kildare doesn't sound very good for a ducal capital

Maybe St. Zorba?

Obscure cultural reference.
