Royal Quest charater refresher / manual


                                            Salutations! You are Carnelian Charade, the young queen of the kingdom of Stella. You were born into being a Duchess of the Rosen family, side by side with your best friend and personal guard Frigid Flake (Who you call Fringe for short). You came into power when the old king, Divine Spark, passed away of old age, and while you've had to adjust to all the responsibility you feel you're doing a good job so far since your coronation.


                                            [Updated as of thread 15]


                                            >Relations

                                            You've married and made an heir with a bloodroyal bat pony, Bloody Chalice, who will rule over the passions islands as an autonomous region of the kingdom per the contract of consort-ship. You have an adopted dragon hatchling named Camellia, but she is not eligible to inherit anything though the royal bloodline. ( Recently you committed to a secret three-way romance with Bloody Chalice and your long-time guard Fringe, but that's a secret to everypony.) There's other ponies of further royal descent, but that's literally it's own well guarded document, no need to worry about that unless a dispute over the rite of ascent occurs or you die without an heir to the throne proper (As your only child Scarlet Apus is already promised to the throne of the bloodroyals, she cannot accept the throne of Stella as a whole)


                                            >Changes to the kingdom and surrounding areas

                                            Recently, you’ve made great strides to the north, the assimilation of the elk clans within Elklight have gone smoothly thus far, and you’ve arranged for a trade agreement with the independent House Regalia to your northeast. The secret alliance arrangement with Zyzmic’s forces to your southeast has gone smoothly, though updates from their leadership are few and far right now. There were imminent threats from the Dig-dug-dogs to the southwest, but the recent freak storm caused by an attempt to summon windegos killed their leader and most if not every creature in their capital, you've decided to send help to the survivors and permitted huntsponies to investigate possible windego-related creatures. You’re also waiting on news of the warlord siblings further to the southeast, of whom Heart Buck had sent her general to kill you and frame her brother for the attack. You also got a lovely manecut and explored the castle a bit more, though it seems there is much more to uncover under the castle and in the seldom trot rooms.


                                            >Most recent actions of note

                                            You've had to take drastic action against an enemy general, Rosesong, in your dungeon to extract information; after months of stonewalling, you took advantage of her fear of impregnation and gave her a live viewing of another prisoner, Dahlia Grace, taking the eggs of a changeling queen. You've yet to determine whenever Rosesong will spill her secrets or choose to endure the same fate. Dahlia offered a sizeable treasure cache to not do this, you chose to not intervene.
