Great Flaming Tension Bricks
Tensions flare at the Palace! Diplomatic Disasters loom as the CONTINENTAL Count slams Tar Shakan! Can the nation rest easy knowing that their King is on the job? No way! Gone, missing, incommunicado. What of the selfless efforts of Marjem? Or Sir Darby? Will their valiant attempts to hold together a creaky royal bureaucracy come to naught?
Does conflict or WAR loom overhead? And if so, how long is THAT going to take? One can only guess.
Don't Know but ......
This reporter does not know the answers to these questions, but certainly feels that nibbling feeling of nagging panic, panic that could, in the wrong hands, turn into raging hysteria. The Doomsayers of the Glarkian Prophecy are out in force! Forget not Botela de Colans, we live in Glark Times!
Imagine...all that dirt
Try to imagine how this reporter feels! Dirt has been claimed! Claimed in a mad rush patriotism, enthusiasm, and muddled intentions. This reporter has claimed Dirt! Granted, this dirt has yet to be viewed, thanks to Travel Restrictions imposed by Fulcrum. But nonetheless, this reporter has a lot to lose here!
What about the Tourney?
This reporter also waits in anticipation for the Tourney. Formerly, this reporter would have phrased it "breathless" anticipation, but no one can hold their breath for that long! Murk, Muck and Sludge! Time is dragging! Armor is rusting! Let's get this show on the road!
Not done yet....
Wait! Wait! There's rumor of a Royal Audience! Really? Is this an appropriate time for yet another event that will drag our patience through the Brambles of Glark? Who believes that this event will even occur? This reporter, for one, would like to know.
Whom should it may concern?
Who should know? Who should be the shepherd of the flock? Who should be the captain of the ship? Who should be the warrior at the van? What? Don't whisper. The King? Yes, the King. Tar Shakan needs the King! Where is the King! Do your King stuff, King! The Doomsayers of the Glarkian Prophecy are gobbling at the door! Doom and Gloom, your Royal Highness! Doom and Gloom!
