Welcome one, and welcome all! It's been a considerable amount of time since one last saw a royal congrats around these parts, and so I thought, well, whyever not? Ergo: LaRe's Royal Congrats!
How does it work? Pretty much the same as any other congrats games works, really. The only difference is the ongoing royal family theme that influences the namebanks. And, of course, the story prompts. Each round will have its own story prompt, for the so inclined to write the stories of their families to. If writing isn't for you, fret not! The prompts will all be
optional. The prompts will also assume a male Monarch leading a Kingdom, with a female Consort, for brevity's sake in pronouns.
Oh, and
no ages, please, unless you are willing to update them according to my timeline jumps on your own. I fear I am not very arithmetically gifted.
Sign-Up Rules
1. You may choose any country, be it real, fictional, or something you just cooked up at the moment. The same applies to the Royal Houses.
2. The titles may be replaced with any title according to your whim. For example, you may change "Monarch" into "Maharaja", "Consort" into "Tsarina", "Kingdom" into "matriarchal warrior tribe", and so forth.
3. Fantasy, sci-fi, Medieval, and other settings/moods are allowed.
4. If you have any other idea you wish to implement which I have not covered above, feel free to shoot a message in my direction. Just, not literally.
The Prompt:It's a royal match! Ere long after the previous Monarch's death resulted in their child receiving the crown, it becomes clear that the people are expecting their new leader to marry and produce heirs, lest a nasty succession crisis come about should anything happen to the young Monarch. But to public surprise (and occasionally, alas, outroar), the Monarch announces betrothal to a very unlikely and unexpected spouse! How did the twain meet, and why is this choice of Consort-to-be considered scandalous by the public? How are the rest of the royal family reacting to this?
