Lady Isabel Baruch | Drawn and Painted by Adelaide Myrrh

 

Lady Isabel Baruch’s sense of style and taste is already starting to set trends among the other young nobility of Haense. Red has always been a fine color for Haensmen especially on those of fairer complexion, the garnet shaded sanbej perfectly measures the maturity of crimson and blandness of mahogany.

 

The mellow red sanbej is cut with a round neckline embroidered with small gold etchings of forest flowers and lilies. Small puffs of lace white ruffles protruding from the neckline and connected to sleeves that are puffed at the shoulders and ending in a similar gold embroidery.

 

The majority of the forearm masked with stark white sleeves and split at the end with lace. The main part of the sanbej dips into a more angular shape at the waist and flows out from there reaching down to her ankles. The white layers of underclothing can just be barely seen but adds warmth and volume to the sanbej.

 

Finally, Lady Isabel Baruch sports a headband with dried wild berries on the side, dark walnut Baijlej laced with dark red silks, and a small cream purse circled around her wrist. The future for fashion within Haense is assured with the forward movement of noble youth and we can’t wait to see what more of what they’ll do.

Head Butler Ruben var Ruthern | Drawn and Painted by Adelaide Myrrh

 

I was given the opportunity to speak with the Head Butler of the palace in New Reza. I’ve been graced to work with him for a few years now and he’s proven time and time again to be wise beyond his years. So, to all the governesses out there, and future ones, here a few tips from Ruben var Ruthern.

 

An Interview With Ruben var Ruthern| Written and Conducted by Adelaide Myrrh:

Adelaide “So, it seems that most people have trouble with getting children especially younger ones to fall asleep, how have you managed to tackle this difficult task?”

 

Ruben “To get children to fall asleep I usually tire them out first by playing games such as tag or hide and seek. After that when they’re actually IN bed, I would tell them a story until they fall asleep.”

 

Adelaide “What’s your favorite story to tell and have you ever put yourself in these stories?”

 

Ruben “My favorite story to tell is perhaps The Dashing Butler or The Wolf Squire, both of which I came up with from my own life and experiences, the dashing butler being a story about a butler from a royal family, it usually changes to match whatever it I’ve done that day. The Wolf Squire however, is a story about a young wolf who is learning to hunt, but he never could catch the rabbit. Even then he never stops trying, so he perseveres as well as learning from his mistakes until he catches the rabbit.”

 

Adelaide “Sounds like you have some pretty interesting stories, now what’s your go-to meal?”

 

Ruben “My favorite easy quick meal would perhaps be a lovely rabbit stew as it’s filling, easy to make, quick to make and quite tasty with the right recipe.”

 

Adelaide “I’m not sure if I’m allowed to ask, but what’s your secret ingredient?”

 

Ruben “My secret ingredient is a secret, though a big ingredient in my rabbit stew is ginger root, it adds a delightful fiery taste which is noticeable yet not overwhelming.”

 

Adelaide “I’ll have to try that one day, other than that what’s your favorite board game?”

 

Ruben “My favorite board game is Lafsk and my favorite physical game is Knights, a fun substitute to normal sword training and raises the children’s spirits.”

 

Adelaide “Do you usually let them win or do you give your best effort?”

 

Ruben “It depends on the children, if they’re younger and still learning then I will of course let them win, but if it’s some older children with some basic knowledge I will typically let them win but give them more of a challenge.”

 

Adelaide “From eating food to playing games what’s the best way to keep children entertained?”

 

Ruben “The best way to keep children entertained in my experiences is to play a game with them, or do an activity that they enjoy such as catching frogs or playing Lafsk.”

 

Adelaide “Are there any new games up your sleeve?”

 

Ruben “Not really, with my time as the Palace’s Head Butler and training for knighthood, I have been quite busy, though if the children get bored I can usually whip something up while I distract them with a cookie or two.”

 

Adelaide “Well thank’s for sharing some of that knowledge and I’m sure our readers can’t wait to try some new recipes!”

In the cold northern peninsula, a certain minister’s wife would recline in her husband’s lavish estates, pouring over this new paper with great interest. “My,” she marveled, “what a wonderful publication- I shall write to the author posthaste with praise.”

 

The many adopted children of said minister’s wife all began to quiver in fear of the pretentious and stuffy outfits they would be forced to wear next, including quite a few of the grown ones.

“Lovely paper. But how did it end up here?” muses Damron Stafyr, as he finds the post in the wrong section of the skygod forums of the realm.

 

((Wrong section, you might want to notify a FM to move it to a suitable roleplay subforum.))
