Help[Games] Kingdom Congrats Round 1
Sign-ups are still welcome. You will find your family under their rank, which I have labeled Royal House of Kaarmann, The Nobility, The Foreign Presence, The Wealthy and Important, and The Populace. If you are signing up, please sign up as either The Populace, Wealthy and Important, or Nobility, as the other two categories have more people than any other. Any foreigner, whether diplomat or poor, is listed under The Foreign Presence.

Last year every royal sibling was married, and not all of them were popular matches. Though the people approved of the marriage of their Prince Joseph to the duchess Maria Elisabeth, the marriages of the two princesses were controversial at best. While some thought the story of Princess Magdalena marrying the love of her life quite romantic, other were disgruntled that their princess had been given to a Ventian nobleman rather than a prince, or at least a good Bialan noble like her brothers. The marriage of Princess Adelheid to the French Dauphin was universally unpopular. She was considered too young to be sent off to marry, especially to some "blasted Frenchie." Anti-French sentiment has been high in Bial for several years, and the marriage was seen as a step down and a very mean trick for King Walter and the dowager to play on poor little Adelheid. Even the populace were against it, as it was quite well known that the Dauphin was half-witted and had a twisted back (stories of him of course received from those who had never seen him). But in the year since the marriages things had calmed. All of the royals were expecting children, and the kingdom held its collective breath for the birth of an heir. No royal of the House of Kaarmann had failed to produce a healthy boy by at least the second pregnancy for three generations. But while Queen Hedwig's pregnancy was seen as the best thing for the kingdom, reports that Princess Adelheid was pregnant revived anti-French feelings. That dear Princess Adelheid should be married to His Ugliness (as the Dauphin was called in Bial) was one thing, but that she should be forced to share his bed and then be gotten with child by the deformed idiot was cause for outrage. While the impending arrival of both Princess Magdalena's and Prince Joseph's children were noted, they were ignored in the wake of these two much more important births.
How does your family feel about the Princess Adelheid situation? Does it affect them at all? Are they among those putting pressure on Queen Hedwig to produce a male heir, or are they indifferent as long as the Queen lives? What have their lives been like in these tense times? If you are a foreigner, how has your reception by the Bialan's been? For same-sex copuples, how did you acquire your child?
