Royal Quest 19 catch-up paste

 

[Updated as of thread 19]

 

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, so you are expected to have a second child).

 

You’ve recently partnered with Zyzmic, now king of Brookwing, to end Crossing rivers reign and reclaimed some territory that was previously taken from your kingdom by pirates. You’re also waiting on news of the warlord siblings further to the southeast, on the verge of a civil war, though you do not currently border them. Your recently acquired lands are stable and just need some extra infrastructure support in the coming years.

 

Your royal wizard had a recent breakthrough on how to use the Ursa Major gem’s core for a potion, but you declined so you can use the core for something different. You also appointed Sunset Ripple to the post of governess of Lilypond. The magic stairs that lead to the under-castle are becoming less of a mystery, you have the sun key, and the moon key is yet to be found, though you have a feeling it wouldn’t be far from the castle if not within.
