[Games] The Waterside Family, very long story
Family Name: Waterside
DW: Lady Coral Ophelia (18)
DH: Lady Magnus Arthur (25)
-DD: Kallisto Boudicca Helene
Status: nobility / magicalMagnus has been extremely busy with the Harbor, Korphos, and the trade that has began commencing with foreign principalities. The envoys have been coming in droves not only caring goods but diplomats. The ports have started to require maintenance and the port authority Reginald has been up to his elbows in work. This period in negotiations and foreign diplomacy is critical for Kriana. Magnus is very happy with a united Kriana but is unsure how the future status of the newly united land will be.
Magnus holds council with the Queen frequently because he holds ownership of the harbor something that in normal countries is not common. (The harbor would be from my understanding of our country the only one because the other sides would be landlocked, please let me know if my thinking is wrong) Magnus refuses to give up the harbor but is happy to rent out the ports and to keep his port authority supervisor, Reginald, in charge of the maintenance. Magnus keeps control over all procedures and financial obligations. The Queen has hopefully come to terms that Magnus will retain control. This is do largely to the fact that Magnus is a very well connected with a large portion of Lethia, Darkla and other kingdoms mercenary and rather unsavory characters who would be more then willing to pay for use of the harbor and allow Magnus to keep ownership.
Magnus holds council with his wife often as well. Magnus has been extremely happy with his marriage to Coral. She has proven an excellent wife and very mature for her age. She takes her duties to her husband very seriously. Magnus has fallen for not only her beauty but her brain. Magnus had a hard time ignoring the fact that his wife is so specially gifted not only with her unnatural abilities but she is incredibly smart and well taught. He has learned much about her and her home land of the Isle of Apple and she has confided in him that she is a native of the Corrigan species but has been able to pass as a human thus far. Coral has not been able to completely confide in Magnus and he is understanding but knows that she is constantly in fear, and he knows that there is more to the story he must find out but has vowed to protect his wife.
Coral has become more and more comfortable with Magnus. She knows that he will be able to provide her with the protection she needs and has become a very diligent wife. Coral began having intense visions, her visions were always scattered and of different themes. These visions began to frighten her because they were clearer, longer and detailed. She was in fear of what she might see as well as why she was getting them. Coral also began to be tired and feeling not her self. On a trip to the Harbor with her husband she vomited at the overwhelming smell of fish, which had never bothered her before. Coral had often visited the Harbor and the ports with Magnus because she can draw energy from the sea. When Coral became unable to attend with Magnus both knew something was wrong. Coral was afraid to visit the local healer in fear that he may find out what she was, more importantly if he had any idea of who she is. Magnus convinced Coral and the healer quickly told them that they like the many other women in Kriana were expecting.
Coral was surprised and overwhelmed at the thought of bearing Magnus’s child. She had never truly thought of having children, even when she was home and in love with Bran. Throughout her pregnancy she was increasingly worried over both her child life and her own. The pregnancy was not particularly difficult and the birth was fairly easy. Coral gave birth to Kallisto Boudicca Helene who was named for her beauty, courage, and paternal grandmother. Coral and Magnus lovingly call her Kalli. Kalli has blonde fuzz atop her head, two violet eyes and a large frame then one would have excepted to come from such a tiny mother. Coral is aware that Kalli is magical but unsure of to what degree. Coral hopes that the Nain priest hood has passed her daughter over but she will not be sure until the day she returns to the Isle of Apple and sees what hold she has over her people. Kalli is strong and very healthy, through her powers Kalli is able to send ripples through the water, and communicate with her mother without crying.

About harbor...The entire southern border of Kriana is coastline, so it actually has a few natural harbors. However, Magnus can have ownership of the harbor in Fairlin, the royal city and so probably the most important.

That works fine, I was under the impression of a smaller coastline.
