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!

"Lady Kennet, sorry," she had gotten so comfortable around Kennet just as perhaps a sister but Odina had to work on proper titles, "but yes thank you your Highness, that works most excellently!"
She rubbed her hands together as she had one more request, "but I have just one more request for you to consider, nothing to shocking but I feel they deserve it," she paused having wanted to speak with Cassian about this earlier but he was a busy man and King so now was going to be her only chance, "There is a family here that took me in when we first arrived, they saved us from a pack of men I fear would have done irreversible damage to us had this little band of family not stepped up to save us. The Van Zant family, their commoners, but they have been held together by the oldest twins since their parents deaths in a mining accident: thirteen plus siblings and even more cousins. Yet Kasper Van Zant and his twin Katarina devoutly serve in your military too, I think both are deployed now with their pairings to Coheed and Cambria. Is there a way to I guess leviate their current status of commoner and make them.... nobles..." it was bold but yet worth the try, "I again understand the request is silly perhaps but I believe given the right path and push they will benefit Nevermere...they could benefit you your Highness."

Another request. It should not have surprised Cassian but it did. Of course, the surprise did not show on his face. He listened without reaction, and in his typical neutral demeanor sought to inquire,
“What do you think a noble title will offer them?” It didn’t suddenly ensure riches or respect. He wondered if a family of that nature would even care to be elevated in society. Surely the only advantage was for marriage, but even then, no noble in their right mind would happily approve of a match with newly appointed nobles. They still came from poor breeding.

"A worthy reputation, better access to education, medicines, just a overall better life...I can't assume all of them will seek that through military service of course, but it is just food for thought your highness," she still wore a soft expression the answer of yes or no wouldn't profoundly change Odina at all, at least she had the courage to ask and for that it was enough, "It won't hurt my feelings for you to decline, I'm sure there is a lot I personally overlooked on the subject and you know the people better and how things work so if handing out titles is frivolous or unnecessary forgive me of my misunderstanding...you are a good man. That much can and needs to be said."

"Thank you nephew," and truthfully Odina was grateful for Cassian even considering to think about it, "Is there anything else your majesty? I can just keep you company if you'd like," but she doubted he needed that with his illness plus still having to run a growing kingdom it wouldn't upset her to be dismissed.

“No, no, thank you. Be on your way. I…will rest.” The fatigue hit quite suddenly of late. He had a few more signatures in him, but then he would sink down onto his pillow and spend the rest of the day with closed eyes.
"That sounds wise," Odina stood and gracefully bowed, "I do hope you feel better soon nephew, if you need anything else please don't hesitate to call for me. I'm going to tell the girls the good news." Odina had a newfound excitement growing within her and she was going to take her new position as Governor with great stride, a true testament perhaps to her proclaimed alliance would come from this.
