FORMATION OF THE CORVID COURT

IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2024

 

THUS UNTO THE WEALD,
 

The Crown Princess of Ravenmire, Anne of Marna, does hereby declare the creation of a Royal Court. Due to the more warlike origins of Ravenmire, and the wartime conflicts of recent memory, we have long gone without such a concept; and the absence of such has been deeply felt. It is a necessity for the people to interact with their peers among the nobility, and to garner rapport with their sovereign. Herein, Assume that all assumable positions are open unless otherwise stated.
