Reading the missive, the Archduchess of the Petra would send a letter to leader of the Order of St. Tylos, requesting that all information regarding dark magicians be tendered directly to she, herself, in order for the capable members of the Riverguard to be deployed to investigate such matters.

“Woo hoo! Welcome to the Meadowlands!” Renilde hollered from the bannister.

We fricken love you Frog :) I’m glad everything is looking up for you and will definitely miss your presence in VC and in game. Best of luck with it all my dude!!!

“Hey everyone, this is gonna be fun!” Announced an excitable young woman with green eyes and a devotion to one Dame Justine of the River Court.

"Ooooh, look at this girl! She's got the job, she's got the man, she just needs the house now." Renilde smiles the Sun's smile.

Her Most Serene Grace Renilde I of the Petra distinguishes Alaris An'asul as the Sovereign's Delegate.

"What a nice fellow," Renilde told her ward on the road back to Petra from Numendil, pleased with her first interaction with the Tar-Numenatar. "This is the start of something very important, dear Eri."

Renilde whistles the tune to the Commonwealth’s newest folk song whilst swinging a ring of keys around on her finger.

“Yes!” Renilde cried!

"Now that is what a personal invitation looks like." Renilde folded up her invite and prepared her crossbow for the hunt. It'd been a while since she'd gone on one, and couldn't wait to partake in the stalk.

Renilde reads and rereads the nonsensical missive over and over again, trying to understand its meaning to no avail.

"Oh my goodness..." Renilde signed the Lorraine over herself, eyes wide, unblinking.

Renilde wished she'd gotten a personal invitation, but understood that the King of Haense might've been a bit busy.

"WOW!" Renilde shouted as the missive reached her hands, a palm pressed to her forehead as grief wrapped her up like a sweater.

"It is always wise to account for the greatest members of your society's past - it helps the youth aspire to be great!" Renilde told her youngest litter of wards with a finger held high, matter-of-factly!

"How very nice it is to know which vineyard produces each wine we so love."

“Oh, this shall be some serious fun!” Renilde exclaimed after having signed the document for Justine. “I hope I am eligible for the best-dressed prize…” She flaunted the gown she planned to don for the gala, waggling a brow. @sondher

Renilde sits at a table overflowing with ballot entries, and sighs, looking to Baldwin, Laurens, and whoever else volunteered to count votes. "Drink up, folks," she told them all, raising a glass of Chambery Red to toast the beginning of the tallying. "It will be a long night!"

“Thats my cousin,” she nodded, affirming the truth to maidens approximately Godfrey’s age.

“And this is what excellence looks like,” Renilde told her pupils, showing them the new court infrastructure that would certainly be a hit with Miss Justine at the head of such affairs.

“Simplicity is key,” The Archduchess told her wards with a knowing nod as they reviewed they mayor candidates.

"WE LOVE HER!" Renilde chants, in awe of her chamberlain's ability to hire capable folk.
