Shireroth

*Krasniy stands atop the roof of Eri's old house and addresses the assorted rabble below*

My beloved Lunatics!

I stand before you at this most holy residence of Her Serene and Eternal Transmogrificance, knowing good has prevailed.

Today the injustice of untold aeons has been rectified. For too long we stood a divided land. For too long we lived as one people in all aspects but that of Imperial recognition. And for too long the sacred spirit of this house's architect and resident was defiled by the partition of her people.

But now, after the longest of waiting, I can stand before you this day and introduce myself, simply, as Count of Lunaris.

The combined will of her Eternal Transmogrificance, the good-yet-absent Mr. 3lfs0n, myself and the Gods themselves have built us a path. Now once more the good name of Lunaris stands free of any degrading prefix, no more does its name jar in the minds of all whose ears it falls upon. Now we dance the the very tune of the divine orchestra as things should be and, Gods willing, always shall be.

Since my return to the realm, this has been my prime objective. And to see it realised is the ultimate satisfaction to me as a Lunatic, and no doubt to all of you as the long-suffering Lunatic people. May our existence as one people be preserved for evermore. Gods bless you all.

That address brought a tear to my eye. I doubt there were many unmoved in that crowd or Lunatics. Your predecessors would have loved it.

You're the best Baron of Vorpmadal since me!

And hurray for the the reunification of culturally similar lands!

Well it's hard to beat a dolphin wearing a Soviet-era tank helmet for sheer novelty

I can rest easy now there's one Lunaris, and all its relevant history and tradition is properly chronicled. So if I do disappear there's less chance of some other dude treating the place as a blank slate and screwing things up. But I don't plan on disappearing anytime soon, so you can put away that battering ram

Congratulations on the reunification, Baron Krasniy. Someday, I look forward to hearing you give an equally rousing speech upon the reunification of Goldshire.

Eri, eh? If the Kildaris can bring back Sebastien Alexandre, what's to stop us from going on a quest to find her?

One can always hope.... and plot

I think she was with the Californian folks, some of them might know her whereabouts...

She lives in northern California, but I'm not sure she is interested in returning. I can ask her, and also ask if she would like her IM information made available.

*As the crowd quiets the sound of one pair of hands still clapping, very faintly can be heard. As you listen closer you realize the sound is actually coming from within the house.*

(OOC--I guess that answered tihat question. Welcome back, Eriana. )

Welcome back!

...wow. If only all of our quests could be so short, or so successful.

Welcome, Ms. Moon, to the Duchy of Brookshire. I think I might be the only person here who doesn't know you. I'm Yvain Wintersong, Count of Syrelwynn and Duke of this fair land. The others speak of you as if you are some sort of patron goddess here, and your uncanny ability to appear as soon as your name is spoken does nothing to dissuade me of that belief.

It looks like you and Krasniy have some....ahem...unfinished business...so I'll leave you alone here for a while. You might want to check in with the Ministry of Immigration and Naturalization, unless patron goddesses are immune to such formalities.

Your Grace--

No, Eriana is not immune, but she is here on her own schedule and agenda. I hope she will reimmigrate. Her presence lights up the forum.

And the recently turbulent realm might be calmed a little with another lady's presence. For too long Hypatia's Mom has been the only one keeping Shireroth out of total sausagefest Must be a strain on your own...

Thank you, Krasniy. Yes, it has been an interesting experience being the only female, and the only mother. I was recently called Shireroth's Den Mother. I am very glad to have additional female citizens now residing in Shireroth.
