JA's - The Prince's Own

Soon after reading all of the newspapers, Yevas started to get bored. In the end he decided that he should start reading up on his new employees. So he will read Henry's books once he has finished with them.

The research from most sources is pretty st8 forward boring historical stuff...either written to please a ruler or to pander to a spefic interest. The newspapers are all abuzz about the
Masccar in the Park"

Wild speculation abouds for sure.
 

Frustrated with the lack of useful information in the papers, Henry tosses them aside. He goes to see if there is a place he can engage in some weapons practice. He hopes a little physical activity will clear his mind.

Declan

After penning a sparsely detailed account of his night in the park, and noting that a few of the applicants still survive in a letter to his younger brother, Declan too, read a few of the history books obtained by the others and finds them disgustingly self serving. Well, that's obvious if you think about it. The royal family are not going to keep uncomplimentary books in their personal library, are they.

Declan seeks leave to visit the Temple of Abadar, on the pretext of priestly duties and general recovery. He is, however, aware that most Temples maintain a historical library and record of the region that is relatively independent of the politics of the day. The young man is desperately keen to know more of the old Kings, the heroes of the revolution and champions of the old king, and what events precipitated a change in the ruling family.
 

There are plenty of weapons rooms, armories etc in the palce and finidng young noble sparing or even the guards working out is easily found.

Gossip among the servants is that the youngest prince has not been seen since the incident and rumors aboud as to his whereabouts.

Declan
[sblock]Even the temple histories are heavily edited or your not giving access to more detailed records. It does state the former rulers were very oppressive and had a history of necromatic and black arts as blood line traits. They were overthrown by a coalition of nobles who refused to send their first born children to a dark sacrafial event the rulers wanted[/sblock]

The third day of rest breaks early and you find yourself with an appoitnment for dinner at 8pm that night with his majesty. You are handed a small envelope in which is enclosed a note and a small card heavily inked in silver and gold with the royal sigil. "Your are herewith commanded to purchase one item that best defines you as a person both physical, mentaly, emotionaly, philopphicaly. Present the card to the person you wish to buy the item from and bring the item to dinner tonigh"
 

Declan

Disturbed by the implications of his research, Declan keeps quiet. Palaces are no place for discussing the deeds of the prior royal family, in any case.

Puzzled and intrigued by the note, Declan sets to wandering the city bookstores and libraries. He has a general idea of what he wants to bring, but needs to track it down.
 

Vanessa also heads off into the city to find something to represent her as a person. She doesn't have much of any idea of what she needs, so leaves the palace early to give herself as much time as possible.
 

Yevas has a good idea of what to get but its not a perfect fit, so he wonders round the town seeing it there is something else that is an even better fit. At the same time he keeps his ear to the ground trying to see if there are any rumours flying around that are more than uninformed gossip.
 

Rumors aboud..
One says everyone was killed and that the blood was ankle deep

Another that it appeared as if werewolves had been set lose on the applicatns

yet another that a great battle was fought bewteen dueling mages...



Everyone
The task is kinda simple but really really complex..you must distill your charcters essence as it is symbolised by one single object. :)
