Land of endless opportunity, prosperity, and the capital center of the 1,000 Year Peace.  Ruled over by the Widowed Lexïna Tristarian-Maxima the First, Queen-Mother of Auxcora, and Wife of the late King and Consort Eric the First.  This land was indeed the happiest place on earth.  The queen had seen to it that during her rule, even the poorest were well taken care of, assigning multiple programs to help the less fortunate find a place in the kingdom where they could be taken care of.  It was not a perfect system, and some did manage to fall through the cracks, but it was by far the best system to have yet graced the world.  Few were without home or employment and none were left truly hungry.  It was to be one of the most monumental things the Precious Queen Mum would go down in history for once her time was up many many years from now.  But this is not so much a tale of her humanitarian achievements, but a story of how her forward-mindedness, especially to those born less fortunate, saved the future of her kingdom.  It is a tale as old as time itself.  A tale of love, treachery, cleverness, and more than a little sex.  This is how Queen Lexïna saved her kingdom and the life of one special young *ahem* lady.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center">------------------------------------------------------<br/>

It was suspected that perhaps she would elevate someone in the higher noble houses so that she could, in turn, marry the lucky up-and-coming Lord. The offers were not so subtly coming in from all sides as more and more of the upper-class people tried to make themselves close to her. After reviewing the laws she saw that she had more than enough power to do exactly that.<br/><br/><img alt="[​IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/b3yqD5LzzNK3EeXnYlhXXo1RSEc/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2016/02/01/692/n/37139775/bfa5423b7cd85c84_GettyImages-856185/i/Queen-Maxima-King-Willem-Alexander-Wedding-Pictures.jpg" src="https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/b3yqD5LzzNK3EeXnYlhXXo1RSEc/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2016/02/01/692/n/37139775/bfa5423b7cd85c84_GettyImages-856185/i/Queen-Maxima-King-Willem-Alexander-Wedding-Pictures.jpg" style=""/><br/><br/>Today she was getting away from the courtly duties and taking one of her carriage rides around the city. She looked out wondering what she would do, and the idea had come to her before that she could always try for a prenup of some kind to ensure she was not tied down under the rule of her would be husband... And it was at that point she asked the driver to take her down on of the streets she seldom ventured.<br/><br/><img alt="[​IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/b2/1c/7e/b21c7eb765edf961dcd3b7f4208febc3.jpg" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/b2/1c/7e/b21c7eb765edf961dcd3b7f4208febc3.jpg" style=""/><br/><br/>It was a district called the Penny Dreadful. It was where the poorest of the kingdom lived. She often went there to give out coins and words of hope. She was a good ruler. Everyone loved her for her attempts to try and help everyone. As they rattled down the rough cobbles of the street, she spotted someone sitting, head on knees in an alleyway.<br/><br/><img alt="[​IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1088001/images/o-HOMELESS-LGBT-YOUTH-facebook.jpg" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1088001/images/o-HOMELESS-LGBT-YOUTH-facebook.jpg" style=""/><br/><br/>It was perfect... Everything she had read had given her new insights to other rights and privileges she had never know or considered before.  She knew she was allowed to take a ward from anyone in the kingdom.  When she had dove deeper into those laws, she had come to realize in an unrelated law passed centuries ago, that any ward under the direct care of the ruling monarch could be declared an Heir Apparent to the Throne with all rights in the case another biological heir could not be found.  This had been the case of King Reginald the VIII when his own son had passed away from illness and was simply too old to produce another child. The then King had appointed his Ward, the future King Tamerin the First to take the throne after his passing.  The Queen Mother asked the driver to stop the carriage and she leaned forward drawing back a curtain, eyeing the young boy as her mind started racing.  What if... Yes... the Matriarchy could carry forward...  The law clearly stated it could be anyone of her choosing.<br/><br/>As the young street urchin raised his head and gazed out to meet the eyes of the queen, his natural beauty shined through the dirt and soot that smudged his delicate features.  the long unkempt blond locks had a slight curl to them, falling in dirty waves about his face as he looked at her with those tired blue eyes.<br/><br/>And this is where our story begins...<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center">------------------------------------------------------​</div><br/>(Please feel free to post at will.  Come up with whatever entrance you wish for whatever reason you want to have an excuse for your character to be where they are when they are.  I have no problem with there being multiple stories and subplots going on at the same time while Cyenalia and I establish Oliver/Olivia coming into the picture, but it is important to us to play this out even if it is largely unknown to most of the people involved at the moment until the Queen Mum decides to do the big reveal.  How will she do it?  I'm not sure!  We will have to see!  In the meantime, this is a good time for everyone to begin establishing their characters and building relationships.  I hope you all have a much fun playing in this as we have to put it together!  I'm so excited!)<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
