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!

Helena raised an eyebrow. "I suppose that this is all rather new. You haven't been in office very long, have you?" The elder knew the answer of course. She kept track of how the palace operated, especially in regards to the gifted as she found herself now having to manage a good number of them. It wouldn't be enough to quieten Helena however. The elder was a woman who was keen to share her own point of view on the matter. "If I were you, I would move sooner rather than later. This nation is teetering, and the gifted are at the heart of it all I'm afraid."

The women noticed that new to the office, she could sense that she was not one who was natural for this role. "I haven't been in office long. I was just a librarian before this." She explained. Ikisina looked down at her paperwork reading what she wrote. "It is a stressful time for the gifted community and that why we are trying to find ways to work. Is there anything you would like me to pass onto the gifted advisor?" She asked.

The elder nodded slowly. "When you get to my age, it feels like the entire world is being governed by children." The woman couldn't help but note, as she considered the assistant in front of her. Everyone under the age of fifty seemed very young indeed. After Ikisina spoke, questioning if there was anything that they could possibly do to assist them, the woman raised an eyebrow almost dubiously. Helena took a small breath, for a brief few seconds, she might even have appeared to be hesitating. If she was, it was only because she was weighing up her words, and their potential implications. "Only that house Kane will protect those who come to us for aid. From whatever the threat." It was a promise, just as much as anything else.
Enough to let some of those in power know that they weren't alone.

Giving a warm smile, "There why we still look to more experienced people for guidance as there is always something to learn. In an ever-changing world, we can't stop learning." She explained. Ikisina knows that there is danger around the corner, she thinks everybody can feel it. It is indeed a stressful situation, however there nothing much she can do but sit and smile while doing her work. She can't use her gift to protect people, cause A: She is a collard gifted plus B: She doubts she would be allowed to use her gift cause they all think she is a danger to everybody around them.
Her smile is still warm and polite she promised to stay natural in all matters. "Thank you for that offer."

Helena nodded her head. "It stands now, and will as long as our family does." The Kane household had always protected Lorendale, and its inhabitants. In a time when some of their greatest enemies could be found within their own borders, that sacred task was becoming increasingly complicated. It was so much easier when their foes were armies of screeching savages, as opposed to individuals hidden within their very rank and file. All the same, the elder of the house was determined that they would keep themselves on track.
"Now..." She spoke after leaving only the briefest of pauses. "Unless you have any other questions. I will be getting back to my own duties. There's much to prepare if the children are ever to hope to return to the capital."
