Help[Games] Britt's Rival Empire's Congrats Round 2
I've decided to allow new sign-ups through round 5. You can either complete all rounds before you sign up if you want to sign up with children or you can start with the round you sign up on.
______________________________________________________________________
It has been two years since the discovery of the Spice Islands. Their race to keep hold of the islands has led Kriana to ignore unrest in their colony of Nadiz. This proved a grave error, and a full-scale rebellion has begun. What does the king do about this rebellion? How is Ardelus reacting to this? Are they helping? How is this rebellion affecting the ordinary people?
Meanwhile, your couple has had a daughter! Her FN must be a fully feminine name, either one that is not a version of an originally-male name or one that has been feminine so long it has lost its male connotations (keep the time period of the game in mind). Her MN honors the king's grandmother, who was quite popular and well-known as well as loved.

I decided to try something a little different for my new congrats. There will be two empires, complete with enough far-flung colonies and foreign diplomats to satisfy the most diverse naming tastes. These two empires will be rivals, sometimes friendly and sometimes not (think France and England during). There will be two royal couples, and the first people to claim them will get them (I won’t claim one unless no one else does, as that is unfair). At the beginning of each round I will post a VERY brief prompt, something like a treaty is being talked of or war has broken out or a new colony has been gained, and in your story you can tell how this has affected your family. Thus stories are greatly encouraged, but not required. In your post make it clear which empire you are part of. The first person posting as a native of somewhere sets the general naming language for that place (though you can branch out a little; i.e. Katarina or Marius in a mainly-English empire). The first to be from a colony may name it, and others may choose to be from that colony as well. I STRONGLY SUGGEST you read all other signups before you choose your homeland or category. All but poor commoners, nobles, and royal families may be foreign-born. Any noble or commoner may be in the military. The categories you may choose from are:
Noble family, Ardelusian or Krianan. Ladies-in-waiting, knights, family of the rulers, and such will be in this category.
Foreign diplomatic family, from anywhere, not only one of the two empires or colonies.
Influential common family, i.e. politician or philosopher.
Well-to-do common family, i.e. a merchant or prosperous farmer.
Poor common family, i.e. peasant or beggar or poor craftsman
Colonial family, anything from former nobility to the poorest commoner. Can use any language you want.
Palace staff family, anything from personal secretaries and stewards to kitchen maids and gardners.
Think Tudor/Elizabethan era for the feel of this game. Not necessarily English, just a mid-1500s to early-1600s type of world. Use this to inspire the names you choose, wherever they are from. I would suggest starting European for at least one empire and then branching out to more exotic places for the colonies, though this is not at all necessary. Let’s see how this works. Any type of couple goes, even adulterous, same-sex, or polyamorous. These can be an open secret (i.e. everyone knows but no one openly confronts) or totally secret, but a spouse must be implemented at some point fairly early in the game, if only as a cover.
Hope I’ve explained everything well enough that this works. Middle names and last names required, with royalty having at least two middle names. Any questions, feel free to ask. So, without further ado…
