Her Majesty's Yule Presents Empty Her Majesty's Yule Presents

Mon Jan 08, 2024 10:35 pm
Eight Day,  First Moon,
Twenty-Fifth Year of Recent Awakenings

In accordance with the will of Her Majesty and in upholding the duties charged to me as Court Chronicler, I hereby submit the account of Her Majesty's Yule Presents.


Shortly before the seventh late bell, a crowd began to appear in the Outer Courtyard, awaiting the rare treat of a visit from Her Most Resplendent Majesty, Queen Vivienne. Being escorted by Lord Marshal Eeva, Captain Vessa, Corporal Raulison and Serjeant Tristan, Her Majesty and Her entourage descend into the courtyard.

Her Majesty was decorated in platinum and lavender shades, with matching jewelry. She smiled at those present, sharing Her serene voice as She began to greet everyone, "Good evening Our guests, Our subjects, and Our friends... We hope that you have all enjoyed this year's Yuletide festivities, and found time to spend with friends and loved ones."

She motioned as she continued her speech, the yule portal slowly collapsing into itself as she did so, "Yuletide is a time of friendship and companionship, a time to relax, spend time with loved ones, let old grudges fall with the passing of the year, and embrace the new year with excitement and wonder and dreams for your own stories to come. We hope that you have all been able to do at least a little of this during the past five weeks of Yuletide, and perhaps found a present or two for yourselves as well. For those of you with unspent coin, Elsa shall be making her Yuletide tables available on the Grand Bridge for the next week or so, to make any final purchases you might wish."

With another wave of Her hand, a sparkling rainbow-hued tree emerged from the ground. It grew rapidly, its branches and trunk twisting and turning until it stood tall above the courtyard. The astonished and awed gasps of many could be heard. It was also at this point that Her Highness, Princess Maeveen appeared and herself became enthralled with the tree. Princess Maeveen, Tristan Cloudberry the First, and Her Highness's sled all sat silently at the bottom of the tree, staring at the tree.

Her Majesty once more smiled at the courtyard, "For all of Our beloved subjects, there is a single gift under the tree, woven from your dreams. We hope you find something you like within."

Many spoke words of thank to Her Majesty as she began to depart but Her Highness called out in hopes that Her Majesty might wait. The little princess and her stuffed sheep, Tristan Cloudberry the First, rushed up the stairs to Her Majesty. Princess Maeveen then presented Her Majesty with a teacup, explaining it was because She liked tea so much and bidding Her Majesty a merry Yule, much to the joy of the witnesses below. Her Majesty thanked the Princess with a sweet smile and a gentle pat to the stuffed sheep before She was escorted back to the Inner. Many denizens continued to linger, with even more coming in and out. People were pleased with the presents but most were content to linger for the company, showing off their gifts and lingering in warm merriment.

Those present included Her Majesty Queen Vivienne, Her Highness, Princess Maeveen, Lady Sinvy, Lord Ammanas, Lord Marshal Eeva, Captain Vessa, Major Vincint, Corporal Raulison, Serjeant Tristan, Yeoman Khalea, Armsman Nazrin, Watchpeople Kallistya and Melcior, Mistresses Brighde, auriela, Rosalind, Taite and Nariseth, sers Venture and Gawenwyrm, seras Kaori, Elaynie and Cynthiana, Huskarl Cordon and Karl Grimir and this Chronicler. Others flitted in and out as the night continued.
