The peace that formerly reigned in Terra Nova has eroded, now little more than a memory. War ravages the continent. Disputes divide kingdoms; ideals divide families. The quest for power consumes absolutely and indiscriminately. None are immune to its allure.
Who will rise and who will fall? Only time—and ambition—will tell.

Change in how times flows. Was 4 IC seasons, now only 2 IC seasons per 1 OOC year.
5 whole years of Heir Apparent goodness! When I started the site, I knew I was hunkering down for the long haul, but I never could have predicted the numerous twists and turns this roleplay site has seen. Hundreds of plots, characters, and members have come and gone, all leaving marks on the site. I am so very thankful for those who have invested. Because you keep coming back, keep getting on, and keep writing, Heir Apparent has the legacy it does today. Three cheers to us!

Augustus held his glass aloft, watching the amber liquid sparkle within the cut crystal. There was a look of triumph on his face. Of hope so pure and powerful there was almost a boyish quality to it. He thought of Emilian, of Coraline, of his niece and his family. These were not just times of darkness, he thought, but times of opportunity. Augustus had no doubt that his kingdom would emerge from present strife stronger and more unified than ever before.
“To Lorendale,” Augustus said, as if the name were that of his beloved, “May those who serve her prosper, and those who oppose her perish.” He would drink heartily from his glass, a fire in his chest.
The words rang in Dresden's ears, both a promise and a threat in a way, though not necessarily directed at him. It was a sentiment he could get behind. For all it's faults, Dresden loved Lorendale too. It allowed him to be himself, whatever self he wanted to be. Everything he wanted and was passionate about was in the Lorendale. The only thing that had managed to escape it, the only person, was his sister. And maybe with Augustus's help, he could bring her back.
"To Lorendale," he lifted his glass close to the Prince's but not quite touching, and then drained it empty. His tongue swirled his lips for every last drop. "Couldn't've said it better myself."
