Another year has passed, and the worst nightmare of many seems to be coming true. Less than a decade as a unified kingdom, and Kriana threatens to erupt into civil war. Oddly enough, it is the much more violent debate over half-breed rights that calmed rather more quickly than anyone had hoped; once Queen Minerva granted them full rights and people were forced to interact with them, after a few weeks of fear and occasional violence things calmed on that front. It is the slow-burning Great Matter that has become something more terrible than anyone imagined it would be. The debate over appointees versus old nobility has always been an intellectual problem, not a physical one. It never erupted into violence until after the appointment of Lady Gloriana. Lady Gloriana began life as a cottager, child of poor fishers along the Great Kria River. Orphaned young, she was even a , especially in the healing arts. After catching the attention of Lord Ambrose, she learned quickly under his tutelage and became one of the healers to the royal household. Her skill and loyalty were rewarded with a title. She still holds no land but the cottage-land along the Kria and has been granted no more riches than those granted to any healer who shows such promise, but simply the fact that a beggar could become a lady with full honors has turned the fire of the Great Matter into an inferno. There have been impassioned public speeches, vicious verbal attacks and threats, and even violence against appointees. The queen and those close to her are fearing the worst.

How is your family reacting to the new climate? How is your wife coping with another baby so soon after the last?
