Both synopsis for the Old King and the Young Prince meet with my approval. I think they're an excellent impetus for advancing our story here. I also wouldn't want to the old king to die off immediately, and am now thinking my own character could act as ward and tutor for the young prince as another means of fostering good relations between the two kingdoms.<br/><br/>A state religion also provides something to distinguish the two realms, especially if the nation of mine and Chaotic Envy's character has a more libertine or hedonist church as well as expansionist tendencies (manifest destiny sort of thing).<br/><br/>I'll transfer your character summaries to my 2nd post Texan, and flesh out a character profile we can use to nail down the details and use for reference.
