Light Spirit, preserve us...

My name is Lisette D'eowynn, Queen of the kingdom of Bawerstrom and former commander of the Crusaders of the Crown/Council. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[the-star-screamer]

Praise the Light Spirit! 

Yesterday, June 4th, 786, my family and I were blessed with the birth of my son. He is called Prince Lios, named “light” in Your honor, Light Spirit. Aleron and Alanna and I couldn’t be happier!

...King Manfred of Bree is dead.

I grieve to hear the news of His passing. He was a good man, and I greatly mourn His loss. I shall pray for His soul and for my dear friend Princess Daisy and Her brother, Prince Jack. Manfred was wise, kind, and warm to all who came to Him for guidance. 

I...I fear I am too ill, though, to attend His funeral. Aleron will not let me leave my bed, so I must pray lying down. Gods, please send His Majesty’s soul to a peaceful, happy afterlife, and may He join His late wife the Queen in eternal happiness.

The eve of the Winter Wars is upon us again. How strange to think it was so long ago, this battle for freedom. I was just a naive girl of eighteen then. So much has changed in more than ten years.

I will always be grateful to the Crusaders of the Crown, and for Sir Griffith’s sacrifice. He will never be forgotten in my heart.

Corsiva is well, Kasinthia is well, and the Crusaders thrive. Hail, Crusaders!

Let the record show:

[balefulladydrunkcake]

Sparrow: Howdy Queen Lissete! I assume I can count on your endorsement, us both being current or former Crusaders and all!

[the-star-screamer]

Kasinthia is not my country, and I have no say in the Selective Board’s choice. I will not comment any further, Master “Patriot.”

[ramblingsofamadforc]

Let the record show:

I gave NO such consent for Sparrow to use my name in that damned article!

[the-star-screamer]

I should hope not, Commander.

So, this “patriot” is one of yours. A Bawerstromian gone rogue, fighting against their own country, now proclaims himself as a “Dark Exemplar” as candidate for King? 

[the-star-screamer]

The “patriot.”

This...this individual is--I cannot even find the words. I know not who they are but if I should find them, I will give them a piece of my mind.

They make a mockery of the Crusaders of the Crown and the kingdom of Kasinthia itself, whoever this author is. 

But it sounds to me like...it couldn’t be.

No, it is impossible.

No land needs a “Dark Exemplar” ruling the people, especially not Kasinthia, once guided by the virtuous King Aldo. Darkness has no place in that land, nor does it anywhere else.

Another year, another birthday.

I should expect another exploding package, perhaps. It is almost hard to think that I became a Crusader ten years ago. So much has happened since then. Alas, I cannot celebrate freely, as dear Juneau is still missing. I have doubled the search for him and I have this feeling that he may be somewhere deep below the fortress of Kestrel Point, but I have Seen nothing. Ten years, though...how clearly I remember my birthday then, when Father told me that I was to join the Crusaders of the Crown in late August. How horrified I was! I had no desire to serve under a convicted war criminal and would-be assassin. And yet it was with the Crusaders that I began to grow. It was not the easiest transition and I made many mistakes. Leading diplomatic discussions and trade relations at home in Bawerstrom were nothing like what I did as a Crusader. The day before my nineteenth birthday, I learned I would become the Commanded after hearing of Lady Ch'taia Estel's "death." I grieved for her and refused to celebrate. My Father poked fun at me for mourning the loss of the criminal whom I feared upon joining the Crusaders. Another birthday, where I learned there would be a tournament for my hand, and Lionheart came into my life. The summer solstice is a time for change: the longest day of the year, and also the brightest. Though many difficult things have happened on this day, I must not forget everything that has happened. Wind Spirit, I thank You for giving me life. Love Spirit, I thank You for filling my heart with dear family and friends and my people. Light Spirit, I thank You for showing me the way and for protecting Bawerstrom. Perhaps today will be a brighter day.

So much has happened and I cannot even begin to comprehend the magnitude of it all.

Furthermore...I have just been informed that His Majesty King Aldo Theodore Nimgalen of Kasinthia has passed away. He was a friend, a former mentor, a former captor, and almost my father-in-law at one point in my life. I am quite sad to hear of His passing and my heart aches for Queen Elaine and my friend Princess Priscila.

I will pray for Him and for His family this night.

[the-star-screamer]

This pacing back and forth, back and forth, waiting for the inevitable...

It's driving me mad. 

...I could have been wrong about what I saw in the stars, but Lady Ch'taia saw the same as I. I do not wish to be so impatient for some great and unknown doom to befall us, but each day, the fear grows stronger. 

I do not wish to keep my daughter locked away in some tower forever. If I am to die, I want to remember her sweet face before I see nothing else.

[thegarnetraider-blog]

Lys, you need to sleep.

Pacing around like that isn’t healthy, and if you keep going so fast, you’re going to break down all those tiles.

What will happen, will happen. And if something does happen, then we’ll be together, right?

[the-star-screamer]

I don't know how you can remain so calm! If you were a Seer, you would be this distraught, too.

I'm afraid for you, for Alanna, for my kingdom--for all of Keimin! Aleron, don't you see? There is no benefit to Seeing when one cannot change what is destined to happen!

[the-star-screamer]

The stars are bright tonight.

[chtaia]

OH, IT’S YOU, TOO.

WHAT IN THE NAME OF CARANIST IS GOING ON? THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE

[the-star-screamer]

Lady Ch'taia, I feel as if we are all in grave danger...

Those in power will fall if nothing can be done to stop this omen!

[the-star-screamer]

No!!

N-no, this cannot...

This cannot be! 

E-everything is in danger, and I...Aleron...no...!

I must write to Lady Ch'taia and to Juneau at once!

[the-star-screamer]

The stars are bright tonight.

It is bitterly cold, but I feel drawn to them...

I must go see what they wish to say to me.
