Runaways

(Year 234, Summer) This Spring, our Ministery of Science & Education has debated how to implement runaways with the national educational program. But that is not all, our politicians also suggests ways to better encourage the establishing of local runaways all over Mazaloom. Below there is a list of the 8 unique runaways that will now get stately support.

Today the best known runaways are located in the south. Gibbi Point is well known for their venues.  With the new political initiative, this will now change. Minister of Science & Education, Emma R. Golden (64, RIGHT party), explains why and how this is done.

Do You Descend from King Baltazar II? (Part 5 of 5 - Abroad)

Mazaloom kingdom is the oldest nation in our part of the SimGlobe. 234 years of documented history show that we were a functional civilized community decades before our neighbors, Empire of Snorthia and Sea kingdom. Naturally, the leading houses swapped daughters, during one period in particular, meaning we can  trace King Baltazar II's descendants in both those nations.

Today the Empire of Snorthia is ruled by the Sloth Family, while House of Oceanus rules Sea kingdom. So, here is the 5th and final part of this series, the bonus chapter focusing on descandents abroad.

Let's start with a nation familar to all; SimNation!


Baron Kamer Wizzor of Port (51), Bridgeport, SimNation

He is the 5th Baron of Port, residing in Bridgeport (SimNation), but he also owns a beach lot in Sulani. His mother was granddaughter of Ebenezer Alto, former baron of Port. His mother again was grandchild of King Baltazar.

Kamer Wizzor has one son, Colin (13).


Trendon Alto (65), Sim City, SimNation

He is 5th in line to the Port barony, but of a family line too distant to be a member of House of Alto, that today has Head in San Myshuno. Trendon's grandfather, Baron Ebenezer of Port (mentioned above), was the son of King Baltazar's granddaughter.

Trenton resides in Sim City, and he has one son, Jaret Alto (30).


King Salomar (73), Sea kingdom

That's right, the current king of Sea nation, King Salomar of the House of Oceanus, is a direct decendant of our King Baltazar! This line goes through King Baltazar's grandson, King Wizar, and his daughter Princess Maria who married to King Salomar's grandfather, King Oyster of Sea. This might explain the close relation today between Mazaloom and Sea.

King Salomar married his cousin Medaka of Sea, who also descends from King Baltazar and King Wizar. They had two sons, Crown Prince Longjaw (37) and Prince Weever (34). Longjaw is married and just had a daughter, while Prince Weever is single and has by gissip press been suggested as a possible spouse for our own Crown Princess Emireza!


Emperor Orchor Sloth (79), Mt. Komorebi, Empire of Snorthia

He is the current emperor of Snorthia, a nation where one son equals to ten daughters. Snorthia and our kingdom share a long common border up in the mopuntains, but the cultures prove too different for close relations. Emperor Orchor is known for his temper and for initiating conflicts. Just recently he opened the border again, allowing foreigners to visit. His empire was involved with most wars that Mazaloom ever fought.

Emperor Orchor has 3 children with his wife, and additional 2 children with his concubine. His oldest son, Crown Princi Alyor (25) is said to be even more evil than his father...


Marchioness Tuna of Minges (71), Mt. Komorebi, Empire of Snorthuia

Tuna is the sister of both King Salomar of Sea (see above) and the late Actress Limia (the one who was portrayed on the painting which caused the recent culture conflict). Tuna is married to the 3rd Koshaku of Minges, residing in Mt. Komorebi. This couple is Snorthia's only nobility based on Mazaloom's standards, and they are more friendly to other nations including Mazaloom and Sea. They never had children, rumors have it they are not able to.

The 3rd Koshaku of Minges actually ownes a penthouse apt in Ciudad Enamorada, where they stay occasionally.

This closes the 5 articles focusing on King Baltazar II's living descendants.

Historical Society with new Project

(Year 234, Summer) One of our oldest organizations, the Historical Society, never seems to rest. Their members are idealists digging into our past to make all those old events accessible to more residents. This time they have made a deal with The Royal Chamber to create a database of the chamber's early history.

Historical Society's board of 3 includes Quatore Virton and Mila Munch (leader).

Previously the Historical Society has given us the online family trees, just to mention one of their completed projects. The organization has one big challenge, though, the age of their most eager members!

Social Season

(Year 234, Summer) It's Social Season! Summer is the time of year when nobility and other members of aristocracy will step aside from their everyday formality, and enjoy a series of more relaxed gatherings, often on a much shorter notice than these residents are used to. Some events are small excuses for that extra glass of nectar, or they are bigger traditional gala events which are the perfect excuse for bringing out your tiara.

Garden Stroll with the Queen
The Queen's Garden Party is one of those traditional events, and surprisingly much less formal than it sounds. To most, hanging with the Queen might sound like a serious affauir, but mind you that normally only members of high nobility get invited. And, as tradition says, only females are welcome!

Left to right: Duchess Gloria of Meadows, Lady Corva Saxor, HRH Crown Princess Emireza, Duchess Luna de Cavalier, HRH Queen Venezia, Duchess Prudence de Aarbyville, Duchess Riba Lynn of Rossie, and Countess Elisabeh of Ticktop.

The Garden Party is more like a club for the same old gang. No press, no expensive jewellery. The Summer lunch normally takes place on the huge palace terrace, but not without a stroll through the garden.

Painter Vince Remeréz

(Year 234, Summer) He lead an impressive career, painting portraits east and west. Vince Remeréz (76) can't remember working with anything else but his canvas. And this Winter he will lead a new TV series where we'll get to see real old national treasures - painted portraits with an interesting story.


Most days of the week Vince can be found in his atelier on top floor at Casbah Gallery in San Myshuno. There he had his base for decades. The old man might need to slow down a bit due to age, but there exists no such plan quite yet.
