Help[Games] The Orlais Kingdom Congrats Sign-Up (edited to add timeline after previous Kingdom Congrats)
Welcome to Orlais
Orlais is a small kingdom in Europe, bordered by the countries of Bial, France and Ferelden. Orlais is bordered on one side by the ocean and thus is a very marine orientated land with rolling green fields and furtile pastures. Like many nations, it has its dangers and one must be wary of bandits and assains when travelling through it's many cities.

Orlais: A brief History
NOTE: This story starts only 2 years after the conculsion of Britt's Kingdom Congrats (cheers to those whose stories helped finalise the timeline!)
The Orlesian people were involved in a violent war with France which ended only 2 years ago, lead seemingly by King Louis XVII. They were added in their fights by the King of Bial, Walter, though he could only aid in secret as his sister was the wife of King Louis. King Walter orchestrated the murder of King Louis, but after his death it emerged that he had never been the warlord at all, no, it was Queen Adelaïde at the helm. The war ended after King Louis's death however when Queen Adelaïde drafted a peace deal, and Orlais is now rebuilding it's empire.
Louis XVIII is now King of France, with Queen Élisabeth standing by his side, and the peace treaty formed still stands. Bial also has new monarchs, King August and Queen Maria Isabel, and Bial remain an ally.
Ferelden to the south is another thing however... Long ago Orlesian forces invaded Ferelden and they conquered the Ferelden forces, making Fereldan and Orlesian principality which remained for a century before Orlais was finally driven out. Orlais had heard whispers of dark times in Ferelden of late, but things seem to have settled down at last and they have also just crowned new regents, King Alastair & Queen Anora.

For your families 'station' be creative! We can't all be Kings and Queens (first in, first served on that one!), but a country needs everyone from it's King, to it's Prince/Princess, Duke/Duchess, Military, Diplomats, Academics, Farmers, Fishermen... you get the idea!
This game will require a bit of creativity and writing, so please make a committment to that if you sign up. I'd also like to encourage players to build up story lines etc with each other and interact as much as possible!
We all know how to play so lets get creative! Tell us about your family, what are their backrounds? Was it a marriage of love? The more you feel like sharing the better!
