Dumbrarere

+1. She is a great friend to people, especially newbies. She has my vote.

+1 from me.

+1 I can see her learning how things work and getting right into it.

Auralia prays for the success of the next Maer, and for the well being of Cecil Halcourt as he finishes Ser John's term. "Too much murder and death has happened lately... May GOD provide for Ser John in the Seven Skies..."

Auralia would put her palms to her face and sigh heavily. "I've heard enough bad news! Why won't these things stop?! Why can't this world just be peaceful, where nobody would get hurt?!" she cried. "Ajax... Wherever you are... I hope you're safe..." she added after a few deep breaths.

"I thought he was dead too, until I ran into him in the Markev Tavern in Haense, alive and well. He told me that he was ALMOST murdered, but was saved, meaning that this has become little more than a scare tactic against Alison. Still, I hope the man responsible gets caught. We've had enough trouble for a lifetime." Auralia mutters.

I like MickMeist. I think he deserves his position back. +1 from me.

Auralia raises an eyebrow at the news. "Well, it's not my place to question Curonian politics. It is good, though, that the assassin supposedly saved the life of one of Ester's daughters. Maybe GOD can see fit to pardon him of his sin."

"For shame! A man who seeks peace and prosperity between the nations of Atlas, almost KILLED in Curon! I hope the man who did this gets what he deserves!" Auralia exclaims, prior to making arrangements to go visit the injured Lotte Baptiste.

Auralia casts her vote for Ajax Ironwood II.

"What does my past sin have anything to do with this? That was already cleansed by my efforts in penance, wearing the letter A for 2 years, then spending time in the sisterhood for 4 years. Let the past stay in the past. My adultery was a mistake, I recognize that. But it happened long ago, and it only made our love stronger before GOD." Auralia groaned as she facepalmed.

"I am Auralia de Hartcold. Queen Consort to the upstart Kingdom of Adylith."

"My life has always been filled with turmoil since the very beginning. I started out as a slave at seven years old, until I was finally free years later with the help of Makashima Draskovits and Henrietta Louise, spending my time on Axios and Atlas as a free woman for the next ten years, serving four of those as a nun under tenure with the church. Now I stand before you as a member of a royal family in a newly founded kingdom of Adylith, accused of the sin of being a false queen, under a false banner. I have been hounded and almost killed recently, scrambling to forge alliances and to create the power base that my husband and his family ignored when they founded the nation. People have demanded that I step down and dissolve Adylith entirely. I must inform you all that I am a Queen Consort, and that I am not the only one running Adylith in my husband's absense, so I cannot do either of those, leaving me stuck with the poor choices made by House de Hartcold. If it weren't for my Canonist views, and the fact that I have two children, I'd have annulled the marriage long ago. I must also ask myself, why a queen? Why not a duchess or a countess or something until the power base to hold a kingdom can be made? I'd have preferred these over the madness that I am facing now. But, alas, my husband and his family made this decision. They brought this misery upon me, and even as construction remains at a standstill, I have to do all I can to keep my wits about me and remain sane. I have to do all I can as a queen, as a humble woman of GOD, who has faced great pain and misery in the past. Therefore, I ask you all, not to view me as an enemy. I do not wish to be that kind of person. All I ask is..." She pauses as tears run down her cheeks. "...is that you forgive me for the things that my husband has forced on me. More recently in Haense, I accidentally shamed myself in front of a few good people in my stress, including His Highness, Prince Otto Josef, which caused me to bring more misery upon myself. I merely chose my words wrongly, and made myself seem like a worse person than I really am, so I ask that I be forgiven for this as well. I am often ashamed of my husband's actions, and how they make me look in the eyes of those around me. I am a genuinely good, loyal person, I mean it. I just have to keep going and pick up the slack for what he does that makes me look bad. I know, I've made my own mistakes, and they've humbled me. Some of these mistakes, I will continue to regret for the rest of my life. But we aren't defined by our mistakes, or by the actions of those we are betrothed to. We are defined by the good things we do for others, by learning from our mistakes and using those lessons to make us better as a whole."

She stops to take a breath.

"With all that has happened, I believe it in Adylith's best interest for my husband, Thomas I de Hartcold, to step down as king and let me lead instead. Our image is not that great right now, and things are out of control. We need to put a stop to it and set everything straight. The stagnant construction must go forward, tents need to be erected for our citizens, homes need to be built, and supplies must be brought over to help with everything. We need builders, people who are willing to help us in our time of need. But as long as my husband, a man who is apparently hated by many people, remains in charge, none of these things can happen as logic is continued to be tossed out the window mercilessly, leaving me to pick up the scraps."

"What in the name of GOD is this?" Auralia asked herself, realizing this will lead to yet another death at the hands of the OSL, unless this woman who posted these flyers changes her ways.

Auralia can see the good in this new law for the church, but also how it can be taken the wrong way. She doesn't, however, make a comment, believing it not her place to do so.

Auralia jolts up from her sleep, finding herself once more in Redwall Abbey. She looked for her temporary crown as the queen of the newly founded Adylith and sighed, affixing it to her head as she stood up to make some herbal tea. "March Ash... Civilization can still change... Humanity can still change..." she mumbled to herself as she sipped her tea. She was going to talk to Henrietta about this weird dream.

Auralia would read the paper and sigh, quickly write back to Mother Judith. "Were it so simple, if not for our stubborn Clergymen, one who I saw in Haense forcefully speaking of our heinous teachings of violence before purity in the presence of two of the guard a day or so before my tenure came to an end. Though I did not hear the entire conversation, I did witness him get up close to a guardsman of the city who follows our faith, call him a pagan for trying to preach what we are attempting to preach, and leave him with his eyes shaking. Ser Felix Fitch of the Order of Senntisten was there to witness all this happening, so it would be good to clarify the situation before pursuing anything. I do not know this clergyman's name, but I can guarantee that if the men of the church continue this path and contradict what the women of the church are trying to do, it will only make things worse for us. Can we really make people of GOD if we use fear? They will only become pretenders, acting like they believe His word, only to continue their ways in the secrecy of their home. We need to make an example, one that these people should follow, rather than cower behind. We need good, honest people, who can spread the faith without fear, without arms and without bloodshed. With kindness, compassion, love and understanding, as Sister Yuliya has explained in her message, lest we continue the circle of hate that has befallen our race as of late. I no longer hold the power of a sister of the church, but perhaps as family and as a queen on her path to taking the throne of Adylith, I can do what I can to help."

((Goodness TJB! One typo, and already she's going to be upset! You meant to type "wife's" not "wives".))

Auralia was originally somewhat happy, but now seems a little empty over all the bad things that have happened. She'll just need some time to come to terms with what's happened.

Auralia would receive the news in the Abbey and almost brighten up, despite the hell she's been going through as of late. "A spark of light in the darkness... Finally, after all the bad that has happened, we get something to look forward to. I have high hopes in the boy, and I will have faith in him, like I did his father."

"I've known His Holiness when he was but a brother of the church in Metz. I was still blinded to my freedom by fear back then, and he vowed to keep me in his prayers. I shall return the favor, and pray for him as he ascends in his position to High Pontiff on this bright day under GOD." Auralia says with a bright smile.

"While I am a sister under Sororal Tenure, I can vouch for Lady Skion, as what had happened was already made cleansed by the rite of holy water and baptism. Though I cannot fight Mother Superior in her decision, as that is up to the ultimate decision of the church, I can offer my services to Alison, my sister in both faith and friendship, that I may protect her mind from despair and her soul from temptation as she continues to grow in spirit under GOD. I understand how hard this will be for her, as it is often very hard for me, being away from my husband and children. Nae, more than hard. I often feel trapped, and in a nightmare that I can never wake up from. I can only continue because the almighty power of GOD and the loving support of the Sisters carries me through. I will have to show that same love to Alison when she eventually comes by the Abbey, as I cannot upset Mother Superior by fruitlessly trying to persuade her against this. As for the charges of Assault, I know Alison wouldn't do this intentionally. I know her as a sibling would know her sister, as our friendship is very close, and I feel it was a simple manner of bad luck that Mother Superior got hurt as she did. I pray to GOD that her Sororal Tenure will be short, as she is the leader of Rivia, and simply cannot abandon her duties." Auralia of Curon monologues.

"I've been a slave before, and to see the torture I've been through allowed in Marna at all is awful and an affront to our beliefs!" Auralia exclaimed, tears in her eyes.
