| − | First and foremost, let me express my pleasure at hearing that you have gained the throne of Arcaea, King Jenred. You will lead us to greater glory than any other, I know it. At the same time it gladdens me to know that a pious man such as yourself sits on the throne. Queen Dentara had many noble qualities, but she could not be said to be religiously active.

| − | Now, onto the wedding! I understand that it is to be delayed once more, which is a shame, but I could use a few extra days to make sure that all the preparations are in order. Below is the plan as it currently stands for the ceremony. Duchess Edara has already expressed her wish for the majority of the event to take place outside; should you have any changes you wish to make, do not hesitate to mention them.

| − | The most important guests will be seated in front of a raised stage (outside). Although you will have a better idea of attendance than myself, I believe that we can be certain that Dukes and Royalty will be present, and they aill of course be given the best view. Guards will have to be stationed around the area, of course; we cannot risk the safety of such noble personages. Should you require additional troops, my cousin Euran has already said that he would be honoured to provide his Huscarls for this duty. Surrounding the seating area will be the lesser nobles, courtiers, entourages and so on, who are entitled to a decent view.

| − | Now, I was wondering what your attitude might be to commoners? The nobles present will be a crowd enough, but given that you two are of both great rank and well loved by the common folk we must be prepared for the fact that many peasants will want to see the ceremony. Given that you wish it to be held outside as well, keeping such a mass at bay might prove difficult. It might be easier simply to keep the great unwashed out of Nocaneb's castle grounds all together. That said, with enough soldiers we could probably arrange for a crowd to be kept at a distance within the grounds, without causing discomfort in the great nobles. The risk is of course that they would overwhelm the guards.

| − | Now, onto the ceremony itself! I was thinking of enlisting some of the children of the local nobility to do a song and dance to start the celebration. It would set the mood well. If you have any particular favourite songs, they could be sung; otherwise there's a selection of excellent joyful hyms that could be used. After the children, I will make a short speech and properly welcome the guests (although no doubt you will both already have done so at the start of the tournament). At this point you should both enter seperately; the manner of this is entirely up to each of you (although as the King and Queen-to-be I suggest you make an entrance!), but it seems only proper that the bride enters first.

| − | Then comes the traditional cautioning upon the solemnity of marriage, and how sacred a bond it is. You will be asked if you are both entirely sure that you wish to be married (and I hope there will be no suprises!) before the more sacred element of your marriage begins. For this we need water from the Holy Spring in Sasat; it would be an expression of devotion for you both to collect it personally - the spring is a very good place for personal contemplation - but I am sure that the Aenil would understand if two busy personages such as yourselves did not have the time, in which cqse I could arrange for the holy water to be fetched.

| − | To commence the Ceremony of Twin Ships I shall bless a large amphora of the holy water, before tipping it down a wooden half pipe that leads off to the Temple. You will each launch a minitature single masted sailing ship down the chute, while I speak the words of the ceremony. It is a deep and moving thing, the ships representing your individual lives on the stormy spiritual sea. The three of us will then lead the nobles to the temple, singing hymns. If peasants have been in attendance they will not (and certainly should not) be able to see the next, most sacred, part of your marriage. I shall arrange a distraction, entertainment of some kind.

Hi - I'm Max, player of the Kandurell Family. One of my favourite parts of the Battlemaster experience is collaborating to produce a living breathing world, so I enjoy making wiki contributions to that end. The game's fantastic; I'm here almost solely for the roleplaying experience, and Battlemaster provides a better and more persistent platform for that to occur in that any other online medium I've come across.

Sacred is the Spring of Sasat

So-urce of the river tha-at
Allows us to drink our fill
Chorus:
Aenil grant us Wisdom!
Stoicism too!
Let us each Honour our Kingdom
Every day through and through

There we travel to seek sanct'ry
From the bitter strife of war
Chorus
Sacred are our Holy Churches
Where we praise the higher plane
Our thirst for sp'rts the priesthood quenches
