• Medieval Castle - Fantasy Roleplay

In a kingdom called Glenwell-Adare, sits a large castle town ruled by a benevolent King and Queen. The citizens there are not peasants at all, but are more upper-middle class.

Once in a while, a special event occurs, in which the King and Queen and other members of the Royal Family invite their citizens to the castle. This would usually include a ball & fete at night, a midmorning picnic, a medieval joust, Renaissance faires, or celebration in the town square, as well as many other things.

Members from neighboring kingdoms are invited to visit the kingdom of Glenwell-Adare, to enjoy the kingdom's events, or to secure alliances through marriages with the Princes and Princesses of Kings and Queens who wish not to war with each other.

The kingdom of Glenwell-Adare also is a magical one. Queen Eclair Adare is a descendant of Fairies and has the power to materialize objects and control elemental magic. The family generally shares the same powers such as flying, casting spells, specialize in white magic, a little bit of black magic to counter any villain who would try to subdue the monarchy.

Time control is forbidden and is considered absolute taboo. The Royal Family has this power to use in dire circumstances, but even they have their consequences by stopping time -- it causes instant death. So as the Royal Family has this power, they do not use this at all.

Of course, there is not always peace and unity within Glenwell-Adare. There are villains who live outside the kingdom, shrouded in mystery. They have formed their own cult and plan to overthrow the kingdom as well as fight against the monarchy for dominance and to cover the kingdom in bleak darkness. No one has heard of this group of villains as they have been in hiding but they have had their share of planning.

The Glenwell-Adare military has been trained, however, for any sign of attack, should anyone dare to attack the peace of the country.

• The Queen stepped out of the carriage, which was parked next to a fountain that marked the center of the town square. Her thick, golden hair was braided behind her back, and on top of her head, not a tiara, but a rounded cap. She wore a white chemise with long sleeves, while over it, a burgundy corset and rose-colored skirt. It was simple, she could work in it, and it wasn't heavy. Not that any of her clothes were, though.
  
  Looking up at the sky, the bell from the castle tolled that it was 11 o'clock in the morning.
  
  "Come along, Donna," she called to her maidservant. "We have much to do and my people to see," she smiled. In the town, she lets her servant walk beside her as this is another casual outing into the kingdom.
  
  "I do worry about my darling little Anila, you know," she started talking. "It's nice that she takes after her father...after all, I do a bit of duelling myself, though she is a bit too rebellious! She won't sit still and she wears breeches! It's something unheard of for a lady...absolutely unheard of. But I wouldn't have her any other way." Queen Eclair fanned herself as it was a bit hot this time of day.

• Donna stepped out behind her majesty, smoothing her teal dress down. At least it was a lightweight fabric and she could breathe. She nodded and smiled back, keeping her head down. They were in public, and as much as Donna was allowed to be treated as a peer of her mistress in the castle, this was a time she needed to keep to formal standards and the queen knew this as well.
  "Yes, your majesty," she called out, following behind the beautiful queen.
  

• Eclair shrugged and turned towards her walking path. "Have the plans for the upcoming picnic been confirmed?" She greeted the citizens along the way, though she let herself mingle in the marketplace. There were always things available there that weren't normally in her castle, though of course her cooks would order sacks of grains and other foods to be delivered to the castle itself. The royal armorer, tailors, and other regular goods were stationed in the town marketplace, and while Queen Eclair visited her people, she would also check on orders placed at the shops and just generally see how the town is doing, as she does frequently.
  
  ((That did not just make sense...so I'm headed off to bed till my mind's cleared.))

After having stayed up all night, Wilhelm was exhausted, but he would never let it show to his patrons. Standing behind the bar's counter, he was wiping down some of the mugs before putting them away.

"What's the news boss?" asked a young gentleman approaching the counter.

"Same old Oc, same ole."

Wilhelm looked up at his other patrons, playing cards and still drinking from the night before, easy targets. He walked over to them and gave them their bill, a rather large bill considering and kicked them out. He shoved the coins in his pocket and took his post again.

[Yeah, I'll use green when someone else is talking, one person, more colors will be added. My posts may not make sense until we get more villains, but I might make another character^^. And I'm not on much today like I've said, I have to be at work>< lata!]

((That's all right. I probably have to do the same until we get more people involved in this RP.))

Edna was resting in the marketplace, sewing out an order for someone. She seemed very happy doing what she was doing. She only uses the finest materials to sew her clothing. Rare silks, velvets and cottons. And the most costly was rare, soft animal fur. She was singing a tune while sewing, sewing away like she does best.

Of course Anila was rebellious, she hated dresses, unless it was her blue one of course. This was why she was avoiding the tutor to sneak out to the stables, hair braided, breeches and shirt on. She wanted to ride her pony and practice archery with the tiny bow a soldier had made her.

• Leading the way, with her maid Donna following behind still, as well as a couple of bodyguards, Eclair found her favorite tailor working in the middle of the marketplace.
  
  "Miss Edna, what a pleasure it is to see you this fine day!" she smiled. The order wasn't for herself of course, as she hadn't placed any orders for new dresses and she tries not to exceed her monthly allowance (yes even a Queen has a certain limit to how much she is allowed to spend per month) and also had to donate to her charities. "How fares you today?" she asked.

• "Yes, mistress, everything is underway for the picnic. The plans just need your approval."
  
  Donna continued behind the queen on her right side, followed by the clanking of armor and metal. The bodygurards. They weren't exactly the nicest men in the kingdom, and she could hear them speaking quietly behind her. As if she couldn't hear the rude remarks they were speaking about her. She longed to turn around and grab one of their swords to shove it deep inside their bowels. But she left that to her imagination to play out. First, she was a lady and would not do such an action unless in self-defense. Secondly, she was in public around many other women and children...none the less her own mistress. Donna could be put to death for such an action.
  She continued on, where her queen entered a tailor shop. So many beautiful gowns she'd seen made here in the past. Lady Edna was probably not the most beautiful creature in the land, but she made such exquisite creations.
  

• "Hm," she said in response to Donna. "My husband...was supposed to be approving the plans. But he has been shirking his duties about the ball as of late." She turned to her maid. "You know those are never in his interests, anyway," she joked.

• "Yes," she chuckled. She knew the king was always busy with 'more important matters' or so he said.
  She listened to the queen converse with the commoners. Donna always admired her queen for treating her people as equals. The queen has too big a heart. She was one of those queens you would gladly give your life to protect. But it also made her any easy target unfortunately enough.
  Donna shook her head and tried not to think of it.
  She listened as she heard the queen converse with Edna.
  

• "Well, all I need to order are lots of bolts of fabric to decorate the ballroom," she explained to Donna, while letting Edna work on someone else's order. Queen Eclair then looked at Donna's clothes. "Have you been given a new dress for this year's events, Donna?" she asked. It was part of her nature AND responsibility to dress her servants accordingly, but was pretty sure her favorite maid had not yet had a new special occasion costume for that year.

(Just as a mention, whenever I see your character's name Marguerite, all I can think of is Chocolate Eclaires...)

• Donna felt a little embarrassed as the queen looked at her clothing.
  "Oh-no, your majesty, but I'm sure I have some nice dresses from last year."
  
  Donna wasn't accustomed to people buying her things, and she doubted she ever would. But she was happy that her queen was selfless enough to think of her.
  

((Eclairs are good : ) That's one of the reasons my character is named that -- the other reason is because my nickname is Claire XD So Eclair seemed to be very fitting!))

• This was one of those times where the Queen had to put her foot down, but she was never unkind to her maids. "My dear, I do insist. As your queen and guardian, it is my responsibility to provide you with new clothes every year! So please, let me do my job and don't make me think otherwise." She had a stern look on her face, which ended with a smile.

Edna was working so hard on others orders, she didn't notice the queen and her assistant. Blushing she stopping knitting to look up to the queen, a little embarrased.

"Oh, very sorry my queen, I did not notice you there..." She smiled a little bit.
"Is there anything you need? You know I'm always there when you need something."

• Donna blushed lightly.
  "If you see it best," she continued, not wanting to seem greedy, "thank you, your majesty."
  She stopped talking as she noticed Edna had spoken up.
  

• "It's all right, you are working on something." Stepping forward she took a deep breath. "I did, however, want to order some bolts of silk or satin cloth to decorate the castle's ballroom with. Also," she paused, looking at Donna, "I do require a new dress for my maid, as you know I order new clothing for all my servants every year."

(OOC: XD; Err, grammar errors.)

Edna got the pencil from hey bag and got out a little paper to write down her order. Okay... I don't think I have enough satin to make a bolt but I do have some silk. Do you want any specific colors?"

She looked at donna for head to toe. "I'm sure you haven't grown that much donna, right? So I I'm sure I can make your dress the same size as last year."

A small girl in her early teens suddenly bounded towards the women from around the side of Edna's booth in the marketplace. The girl was carrying a handmade measuring tool and practically bouncing off of the balls of her feet. Camilla turned towards Edna, excitedly holding up the measuring tape. "Would you like me to check her measurements just the same, mam?! Just to be sure?!" The smiling girl seemed to have not noticed that one of the women before her was the queen of Glenwell-Adare herself. Only time would tell how the young girl's unseemly behavior would be received.

Gar was a lean boy around the age of seventeen. His parents had both died when he was a very small and an old spinster then took him in. At the age of ten his caregiver fell victim to natural forces and he was left an orphan and left to fend for himself. He then took up a nomadic nature, venturing from country to country working as a bard.

From a very early age Gar knew he had a special talent. At any time he could pick up any instrument and create a beautiful melody. He could also spin a tale so detailed and beautiful that many people who had listened to his tale would swear they had been enchanted by it’s words.


Currently Gar was roaming around the market in a kingdom called Glenwell-Adare. He had already made a bargain with an innkeeper to play at least twice a night for an hour or two to pay for room and board and for a little extra coin. As the inn would not be busy until later, Gar took the advantage to explore the city.


He passed booths after booths with different drinks, foods, and wares. He even noticed a couple of women dressed in fine clothes stopping for an inquire at a tailor’s booth. Gar shook his head slightly; it had been a long time since he’d been in such a place where anyone could afford to wear such clothes out in the open.

((The more, the merrier! We just need as many people as we can get, as long as you guys filled out a Character Profile in the OOC thread))

• "No, ma'am," Donna stuttered, "I haven't grown any at all."
  
  All of a sudden, she saw a small girl woosh past her. The girl's eagerness and hyperactivity somewhat soothed Donna. She loved children and it was evident by the large smile that crept over her face.
