Theiri is resourse rich but unable to export anything because of caravan loss they on the verge of having to disband the army to maintain they're costs.<br/><br/>Theiri has no way of knowing Aserit is suffering as much as they are and know they need to resume trade or they will have to go into open war should they have any hope of retaining their kingdom so they are trying peace talks first since it would throw their kingdom into debt to another it go to war.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>It's come to my attention that you guys may not be familiar with the etiquette appropriate for the time period. This is a rather important aspect of this game so here is a crash course.<br/><br/>Girls of noble birth are chaperoned everywhere either by family, a hand maid, or a widow. Basically they are given very little time where they may be able to slip off and be inappropriate with a boy. Your expected to go to your marriage bed unspoiled so girls are protected against their own wanton nature for this reason.<br/><br/>In reality most girls did not go to their wedding beds pure especially if it is an arranged marriage but all appearances must be maintained that the girl is still pure. Remember things in the nobility depend a great deal more on how they look and not so much on how they are.<br/><br/>Specific questions can be sent to me but for our princess character, Lenka and Rose, if your princess is caught alone with a male it will be a thing of scandal. Queens are given more freedom but not much, lovers are tolerated but your still expected to make the show of being a loyal wife and make the effort to be discreet. If you are caught red handed as it were then it will still be a scandal.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=148869.msg6789359#msg6789359">Quote from: Dancing flower on 21-08-2012, 05:32:53</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Does that rule apply to a female like Kaniene?

She chose to be a warrior instead of a lady so while in court she'd still need a chaperon for appearances she isn't held to the same standards and for rules she would be subjected to the same expectations of a prince. Though if caught flirting her freedom would become more limited and if caught with a lover the fall out would be the same.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=148869.msg6791110#msg6791110">Quote from: lenka on 21-08-2012, 14:55:16</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Man!

He told me he'll have an intro post up tomorrow. SO go have a look and familiarize yourself with the Theiri king.<br/><br/>
