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.

New University Term at Mossy Lane

(Year 232, Fall) Fall means the start of another term for university students, and in Britechester, both dorms and public spaces become busy these days! At the private dorm, Mossy Lane Dorm, a group of 5 young adults prepares for the new term. The current group includes a Baron and a Lady, but all 5 are actually children of Aristocracy.

Baron Rainert of Myshuno (History), and Mr John Phlum (Drama). 

Located at Gibbs Hill (Region 2 Rossie), the dorm serves both Britechester University (U-Brite) and Foxbury Institute (Fox). There are two nicer suits intended for students from top of society, meaning children of the 5 dukedoms, or even of the counties and baronies if vacant. Those suites are rented for the double cost, which will normally sum up to §8,000 for all 4 terms - and that is not including school fees!

 

Sulani Scientists

(Sulani, Year 226) While I'm still preparing a long article giving my take on the Sulani backstory, I want to share a bit from way Region 12's residents will benefit from a stay in Sulani. The place will naturally mainly attract sun seekers, but there is also many reasons for Scientists to visit this small and exotic community.

St. Taz is well known way beyond Sulani. The volcano stayed dormant for more than hundred years, but recently the activity has increased. The eruptions are yet limited, but the mighty impression makes it easier to understand how the volcano could be the God of the ancient community - and still is. Many of the rituals performed for tourists are based on the sacred respect for Taz.

Bon Voyage Retirement Home - Dead Lodgers

(Gloomville, Year 125) Earlier this year I started a mini series following the Bon Voyage Retirwement Home keeper, Tammy Oaksdale. More updates were planned, but then it took too long, and I decided to drop that series. I think anyone interested in ideas had got what was on offer, anyway.

Tammy Oaksdale still is the Keeper of this place, a residential lot where elders move in to rent one of four room units. She serves them food, manages the units, arranges flowers for decor purposes, does some cleaning, arranges a weekly activity - and now, as a few of the lodgers died, she also deals with contacting their relatives.

Court House: Ella Hikes vs late Oscar Jupiter

(Region 12, Year 225) This Summer one interesting case at the regional Court House, located at Arts Quarter in San Myshuno, was Ella Hikes claiming late Oscar Jupiter to be the father of her child. Hikes was not aware that Oscar Jupiter died last Winter, so the charge was instead met by his children; Meteorologist Caspar Jupiter (Newcrest) and Journalist and Hood Contact Razira Jupiter (Oasis Springs).

Ella Hikes (71) first claimed that her daughter Emily Hikes (11) should have a yearly compensation of §2000 until her 15th birthday. She admitted that it was a high end claim, but that Oscar Jupiter could afford it!
