The first Lords Meeting in the reign of King Brynn and Queen Eleanor

 Tenth Day of Maimonath 1045

Transcript of the Queens Speech:

 My Lords and Ladies,

 On this the tenth day of Maimonath, on the tenth day of the reign of the Dragon King,

 Brynn Ap Gefyn in the year 1045, I welcome you to the Royal Court.

 It is with sadness that I must announce that King Brynn is unable to join us this evening

 as he is investigating the sudden disappearance of Justin Breggan with a portion

 of our Royal ships.  This is not the behaviour one would expect from the man who has

 ruled over our country as King for the last six years.

 King Brynn has asked me to preside over this gathering in his name and make

 known his first command as King.

 

 The five great families I see before me have been at the heart of our country and

 the lives of our people throughout its history, and as loyalists, you share with your

 forebears a fundamental role in the laws and decisions of your own age. As such,

 King Brynn has decided to reinstate the powers of the nobility within designated

 areas of the land, and I have the honour to announce the following:

 

 The Family Warfields are tasked with the defence of our Southern borders and as

 such are granted the lands stretching from south of Peldwyn in the West to the top

 of the Iron Back Mountains in the East. You have been granted the City of

 New Corphedeli as your family seat and The Head of your family, Earl Garrick

 Warfields has been granted the title of Duke.

 

 The Family Maddocks are tasked with the defence of our coasts and as such are

 granted the coastal lands stretching from Peldwyn in the south along the west and

 north coast to the lands that border with the district of Baeggwyn. You have been

 granted the City of Maedyll as your family seat and The Head of your family,

 Earl Walter Maddock has been granted the title of Duke.

 

 The Family Drummonds are tasked with the defence of our Northern most borders

 and our borders with Imlyssid and as such are granted the North lands of Horgreth

 above the Ryn Nemrath. You have been granted the City of New Regis as your family

 seat and The Head of your family, Earl Fergus Drummond has been granted the

 title of Duke.

 

 The Family Grimstones are tasked with the improvements of food and resources

 north of the Kings Isle and as such have been granted the lands south of

 Ryn Nemrath down to the Ryn CArroch. You have been granted the City of Horgreth

 as your family seat and The Head of your family, Earl Geo Grimstone been granted

 the title of Duke.

 

 The Family Sedrins are tasked with bringing stability and order to the

 Chamweaddean central lands. You have been granted the City of Lyngoch as your

 family seat and The Head of your family, Earl Deeber Sedrin has been granted the

 title of Duke.

 The city of Baeggwyn and the Kings Isle will remain under the control of the Crown.

  

 History links monarchs and the nobility, a connecting thread from one period to

 the next. So, in an era when the regular, worthy rhythm of life is less

 eye-catching than doing something extraordinary, I am reassured that I have

 such loyal persons who will use their skills and talents to bring prosperity to Tyr Nuedd.

 

 King Brynn and I will be visiting towns and cities up and down the land. It is my

 sincere hope that this will be an opportunity for people to come together in a

 spirit of neighbourliness and celebration of their own communities. King Brynn is

 already in contact with our old allies working on righting the wrongs brought about

 by the traitor Justin Breggan.

 

 We also hope to celebrate the professional and voluntary service given by a

 dventurers across the country, who are working for the public good. They are a

 source of vital support to the welfare and wellbeing of others, often unseen or

 overlooked.

 

 And as we reflect upon public service adventurers provide, let us again be mindful

 of the remarkable sacrifice and courage of our Military and Navy. Much may indeed

  have changed since the death of the Kings father, King Gefyn, twelve years ago

 but the valour of those who risk their lives for the defence and freedom of us all

 remains undimmed.

 

 We are reminded here of our past, of the continuity of our national story and the

 virtues of resilience, resourcefulness and tolerance which created it. I have been

 privileged to witness some of that history and dedicate myself and my husband

 to the service of our great country and its people now and in the years to follow.

 Together. United. We WILL rebuild our country to its former glory and restore the

 peace and prosperity of our people.

 

 Please enjoy your evening
