Welcome Princess Astrid Thrax!
Posted by Victus on 12/16/17
On 10/10/1007 AR, the babe came screaming from the storms of the Mourning Sea in rage, amid a battle of monsters from the depths themselves. Born as the daughter to Princess Alarissa Thrax and Prince Victus Thrax, she shall henceforth be declared the true heir of the Maelstrom and House Thrax.
Though the beasts tried to take her from us on her first day within this world, she has survived and we give thanks to those who accompanied. To the Harlequins of the Queen of Endings, for their steady hands and guidance. From the fearless crew of the Red Serpent, to the fearsome Grimhall fleet for their bravery in battle.
(Hastily scrawled beneath) And the formidable Magpie, for staying afloat against THAT FUCKING THING!
Of course we also give thanks to this momentous occasion to Mangata, who safeguarded all of us that fateful day. To commemorate her service and celebrate our child, the following week across the Mourning Isles is declared to be in pure reverence of Mangata and her children. We invite all across Arvum to join us. Give your offerings to the Goddess of the sea, drink deeply of her wine, and celebrate the good life she's given!
In addition, the Thrall rowers who had accompanied us bravely will be given their freedom immediately - and will be offered paying jobs aboard the Red Serpent, or to be rehomed by Thrax itself. As is now their choice.
For those in Arx, we will also be continuing Edain's set standard. Drinks on Thrax today and tomorrow!
Here's to the future and to Astrid Thrax. Tears in our wake, never at our wake.
