Sorry this took so incredibly long to get up! I started school two weeks ago and have been very busy. Also due to this, from now on this is going to be keep-up yourself. I know it's a hassle, I'm sorry, but it will make posing rounds less work on me now that I'm at school and thus you will have faster updates!
Also, another plus of this being KUY is that this is now open to anyone who wants to join! AllI ask is that you are willing to weave yourself into the story and its existing parameters and events, that you write at least a paragraph or two each round, and that your names/occupations/family structure/etc. are at least roughly historically accurate for a medieval, vaguely British setting. Non-traditional families (especially single parents/blended families, which were very common for the time due to the staggering death rate) are definitely welcome, but again, historical accuracy is a must. Also, include an introductory paragraph explaining your family's history and anything else you deem relevant.
Lastly, a note for the future: If you are joining families with another player (for example, my character Guinevere is marrying WanderingMoon's character Nethanel,) you must agree on a direction that your now shared storyline must go and what you will name your children
before either of you post your update--you can either do this through PM, which I've found very helpful, or in a post on this thread, like in RowenaRavenclaw's old partner congrats a while ago. Then you post your individual update like normal with the events from your original characters' point of view. (i.e., the characters that you started with). If anyone has any problems with this or doesn't really understand, feel free to ask in the thread or PM me.
*CN and Gabriella Grace, if you don't update during this round, your families will face their untimely demise*
--------------------------
Five years has passed since the outbreak of the civil war. Word has reached the outlying lands that the rebel forces have captured the Royal Family, seized the castle, and are keeping them hostage indefinitely. The leader of the rebels has crowned himself acting Imperator (Emperor, if you will) of Angleterra, imposing martial law. The people of Angleterra are war-torn, hungry, and in disarray. What are the consequences for your family due to this shift of power, positive and/or negative? Why are the rebels continuing to keep the King and his family alive? How are the forces loyal to the King planning their counterattack, and how are they negotiating with the new order?
Genders/fates of any and all children this round are free choice.
