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!

Mune had to wonder about this man's mental stability. It should have been worrying. Oddly enough though, he found it to be strangely nostalgic. It almost reminded him of Freya Tveit, and her insane courage which had lead her to cross into Coheed all those years ago. He had to wonder what had become of her... He would hesitate for a moment before turning towards his children. "Go home back to your mothers. I might bring home a racoon this evening." The children would look a little baffled, but like the true little Coheedsmen that they were, they didn't argue with their father, scampering back towards their home.
"You'll find that racoons are very clever, and slippery creatures." Mune cautioned the man. "This will probably be more of a challenge than I think you think it will be."

Kasper waved good bye to the children and before they officially ran off he gave them all one more helping of chocolate. Turning his attention then back to Mune he was smirking, "So in Nevermere we have these family sigil's, a coat of arms or some shit, well my family was dirt poor so we didn't really get one but once my great great great great times two great grandpa got proud, honorable," Kasper adjust his pack once again on his horse, "he adopted his own, sews it on a big tattered banner and everything displaying it outside of the loft. The raccoon is on the banner, it's the Van Zant spirit animal, my clan is just as clever and just as slippery...as hard as it might be to believe but I use to be a wild man, a scoundrel...a hell raiser if you will, wiley and dilly dally in the darker side of the streets know what I'm saying?"

Mune watched as his children darted off, making sure that they were indeed going, and gone before daring to turn back towards his new buddy from Nevermere. He wouldn't trust the eldest of his brood not to turn back around and start following them, so he would be spending the rest of his time looking over his shoulder so as to keep an eye out for them.
Casper was back to talking again. He seemed to be good at that.
Mune tried to humor the stranger, and listened to just what it was that he had to say... And found himself struggling to follow. He knew about the insignia of Nevermere, and Lorendale. He'd seen enough banners in his time to know that it was a thing, not that he particularly understood its purpose, but oh well. Did foreigners really have that much trouble telling one another apart? "I think that I understand." Was the only response which the former chief was able to come up with. "But why pick an animal that you don't have in Nevermere?"

"No we got them back home, little shitasses though, these probably aren't much different but they'd be from here," Kasper shrugged, "I don't know, I gotta find something to bring back to the kids back home...Kat...Katerina was my twin sister and every time she went somewhere and was stationed she brought back something really rad for our siblings and cousins," Kasper still hurt from Kats disappearance and no one cared, half of him was gone, "I wanted to do the same thing, she uh, she disappeared shortly after I got here...no one, no one's seen her. No one cared, and our younger sister Mina was killed not long ago...I don't know how they are...I just want to be the cool big brother."
Kasper shut up abruptly, "That's...that's not your problem though. Sorry."

Mune listened as he was treated to the life story of Kasper Van Zant, or at least that which regarded his siblings. Perhaps unbeknown to the Nevermerian, talk of his siblings hit closer to home than he maybe might have thought. Mune had had siblings, brothers, and sisters. All gone now. It was a weight that he carried with him as secretly as he could, concealing his suffering, like any good, self-respecting Coheedsman should have. It didn't mean that it wasn't still there though, painfully hanging over his head, and forming a dark cloud in his heart from time to time.
At least the other man seemed to realize that he was blathering. "You talk a lot stranger." Mune would note after a few moments, as they continued walking. "But I will keep an eye open for your sister." It was all that he said about that particular matter, and the former chief intended to keep his word.

Kasper suddenly liked Mune, foreigners were weird, and he laughed about the man's comment towards how much Kasper talked.
"That isn't the first time I heard that friend," Kasper replied and attempted a respectful Coheed salute he'd saw other warriors give one another, "That...that would be pretty rad of you Mune, thank you. I'd be in your debt if you ever find her," and Kasper meant it too, but just a tiny piece of him knew he'd never see Kat again. It was a constant pain and void he'd have until his own death he believed.

Mune raised an eyebrow at the sight of the salute from the stranger. It was almost right. He got the feeling that it was as a mimic, more than something that somebody had actually taught him. It was close enough though. "Have you been in our lands long?" It seemed to the former chief that the men, and women of Nevermere came and went quite often. It must have been a challenge to wrap their heads around when they first arrived. All the same, he intended to keep an eye open for the man's sister.
"I have some traps in my house. Do you think they could be of use?"

"Yeah this is my first time in Coheed, but I've been to Cambria and spent a good while there and Lorendale to help clean up the mess left by their rogue Gifted," Kasper explained and he also started thinking about traps but still explained further, "I like it here to be honest, I uh met a girl...a woman...and she's very beautiful but uh," he started to stumble over his words scratching the back of his head, "I think traps would be nice but while we do this, how do I impress someone's Father here?"

Mune raised an eyebrow as the man again changed the subject. He most certainly wasn't short of things to talk about, and seemed to have absolutely no qualms, or problems about drifting from one to another. Now, it certainly sounded to the former chief as if he had moved onto the subject of romance. "Is she Cambrian?" There was a BIG difference between the women of Cambria, and those of of Coheed, even with the latter's recent status raise.
They would begin to walk over to one of the trapper's buildings where they could find some snares, and cages. "What counts here most is honor. Either get yourself a lot of wives, or fight and defeat a warrior or two in combat. That will get the man's attention."

Kasper chuckled, "I think a Cambrian woman would have rather rung my neck like a chicken then flirt or much less entertain me," he remembered Wren, and Mune's words were the piece of the puzzle he needed to figure out what he needed to impress Yrsa Father. His eyes lit up, "That's brilliant! I gained a little with those beast battles, some of the warriors seemed impressed but I just figured out what I'll do, thanks Mune."

The man's comment regarding Cambrians earned a huff of amusement. He'd had a few run-ins - although none romantic - with the peculiar nation of women himself. "They're certainly not to trifled with, especially by a man."
Mune blinked a few times, somewhat confused by the stranger's reaction. He had rather expecting a Nevermerian to opt to keep a way from combat, rather than welcome the prospect of it. Honestly, the former chief couldn't envision that his new "friend" would last very long in a fight against a Coheed's warriors. If that was the hill that he wanted to die on, then he most certainly wasn't going to stop him. "You're welcome?" He would definitely be keeping an ear open for tales of a brawling foreigner in the coming days.

"It sounds like you doubt the idea, or maybe you doubt that a small man such as myself could win against a warrior of Coheed?" Kasper asked, not in a nasty tone or anger, he was in fact smirking, "That's okay I've been doubted my whole life, you won't be the last, but in the Nevermere military I fought, trained and earned my ranking. I can fight, and don't need enhancements because I fight smart ..so yes, thank you for the idea."
