The Flock Project

(Year 235, Summer) There's been quite some fuss regarding the scientic Flock People project, since a royal palace staff member was fired for joining the project by getting pregnant, without informing her employer. Some time back another female resident at Willow Field in Gloomville gave birth to the first Flock baby. So what is next? Is this project still fully covered by science?

When the last known Humperton Flock was found dying, Landgraab Science Lab in Oasis Springs kept the body under observation. The project was kept secret until they managed to create a new Flock baby, carried out by Edith Mox, leader of the Save the Flock People organisation. The Flock People has their roots at Willow Field in Gloomville, but was scared away decades ago when the willow forest was cut down.

University Graduatees

(Year 235, Summer) The first member of the current generation of growing up royals got their degrees! There will be plenty more over the next few years, but today the attention goes to HH Princess Evendice alone.

Graduatees: Mr Robin Hump, HH Princess Evendice, and Mr John Phlum.
Right/back is Duke Jarret of Rossie, who is Patron for University of Britechester.

The obligatory photo session took place at University of Britechester, where she studied for 3 years. Students normally spend 4 years on their degree, but royals (and a few high nobility Houses) follow a fast track focusing on a total of 4 classes every term. This gives less room for joing all the fun student activities, but saves them a full year.

Royal Court Line-up includes Surprise

(Year 235, Summer) At the closing session of this year's Great Mazaloom Simposium, taking place at Hotel Lykke in Windenburg, HRM King Tarriot revealed the line-up for the Royal Court. Court won't take place until 1st Day of Winter (aka Investiture Day), but according to traditions the line-up must be announced not less than 6 months earlier, gioving the aristotical community a chance to react in case of shady inheritance etc. These days this is not really needed, but back in the previous eras there could be more conflicts and less transperancy.

While the announcement is a pretty regular thing with few reasons to even raise an eyebrow, this time was different. The audience was left with huge questionmarks on their faces.

Royal Approval for PM Dougham

(Year 235, Spring) A new Prime Minister will traditionally get an audience with His Majesty before the new People Chamber opens, but this time the procedure was slightly postponed for last week of Spring. It's a simple meeting, isolated from all he functionality of People Chamber, but needs to take place according to stately protocol.

Mr Charloman C. Dougham (62) finally got his audience, and following tradition his wife, Mrs Corinne Dougham Mester Crestville (71) joined.

Palace Employee Lunvik was fired!

(Year 235, Spring) Yesterday morning the Royal Palace Office (RPO) had announced that their press meeting would address the issue involving the surprise prenancy of a Palace employee. It's of course an internal matter, but the press has been speculating a lot as the father of the unborn baby had not been confirmed. Was it another palace staff member? Or could it be one of the three princes, although none of them reside at he royal palace currently. One newspaper even suggested that HRM King Tarriot could be involved, as long as it was not officially denied.

So, there was no other option for the Palace Chief Attendant Ms Patricia Maiden (54), than to addreess the rumors. And so she did! At first there was total silence in the press room, but then the room bursted when all attending journalists shouted their questions simultaneously!

Gossips #20

Grab your favorite nectar and join me!

Exhibition: Exclusive Carpets

(Year 235, Spring) This weekend a different exhibition could be visited at the Kasbah Gallery in San Myshuno. A total of 18 exclusive Victorian carpets could be admired, and high society was not hard to attract.

The rugs, all of perfect quality, share a story that might place them in our history book. They were crafted for the Year 150 coronation of King Tybe, and left Victoriania. Unfortunately cargo got lost in storage, and that's where the story ends. Nobody knows for sure how it could happen, and where the container spent the next 84 years. Last year the rugs were discovered and continued their travel to Mazaloom.
