King Andrew McKay's lead assistant, Lieutenant Colonel Hugh Sutherland, stood in front of what seemed to be a brigade of scribes and messengers. They were all standing at attention in a rank-and-file formation, broken down into battalions, companies, and the like.

Lieutenant Colonel Sutherland, standing on a stage in front of a large banner of Eston and dressed in his finest dress uniform, cleared his throat and readied the scroll at his side.

"Loyal scribes and messengers of Eston, Atamara:" He began, loudly and in a tone that the entire assembled group could hear. "By decree of His Highness, the King of Eston, Andrew McKay, all ladies of noble birth are welcome to seek an audience with His Majesty for the purpose of courtship."

The already-silent crowd could noticeably be heard to hush even more, until a lone messenger from a far end of the assembled formation yelled back in some local dialect. "What's that mean?"

Hugh held back a smirk, attempting to maintain his military bearing. "The King wishes to find, court, and wed a wife." He sighed deeply, letting it out in a long breath as if to indicate the stress that he'd been under since preparing this royal edict when the King first spoke of it to him about this matter. "Please, relay this message to every lady of noble birth that you come across: The King wishes all ladies across the continent and beyond, should this message reach that far, to contact him regarding their interest and intent to court with His Royal Highness."

A relief could be collectively heard amongst the crowd; many of them either junior enlistees in Eston's Armies of directly hired solely for this task.

"You will find, included in the message that each of you are receiving, a biographical account of Sir Andrew McKay. Now: Safe travels; go out into the world and let us see if we can find a suitable mate for the King of Eston."
