A Kingdom Uncharted - Open - Subject To Change

[Rohrchi]

For the first time in as long as anyone could remember, the country of Morlandrinthe opened its borders. The people of Fallindia - the only country near enough to Morlandrinthe to be affected - began to hear strange rumors of their "new" neighbor. New creatures were invading the Fallindian borders and scaring the Fallindians in the outlying provinces. There had been no casualties as of yet, but the citizens were panicking and that tended to cause damages.

Even more odd were the rumors from the few people daring enough to visit the strange country. Most whispered about how there was no magic allowed in Morlandrinthe. They told of Morlandrinthian citizens being taken to the capitol city and never returning. They also spoke of unusual customs and religions that caused people to do unpleasant things. It was as though the country's rulers were trying to torture their citizens.

Still, a few Fallindians were prepared to brave the new, uncertain territory. These explores were prepared to put aside their magic while inside the Morlandrinthian border; all for an interesting tale to tell when they returned home. At the same time, many Morlandrinthians were waiting and excited to meet their "new" neighbors.

Morlandrinthe

Political System:
- Monarchy joined with the Church

Ark grabbed the stack of papers that went with her everywhere and shuffled them back into order. With everything settled, she turned to the queen and gave a half bow, "If you want me to go, I will. I'll be your emissary or a regular citizen exploring their country. Just let me know what you need."

She listened carefully to the instructions and repeated them continuously in her mind all the way to her room where she wrote it down. Now that it was safely on paper, she could sit and take the time to consider it. They wanted her to be a spy, to worm her way into their government, and uncover the secrets of where the people were going.

Luckily, that would be easy for someone like Ark. Her skills at any secretarial task and the majority of the housekeeping tasks came so easily that people found it slightly eerie. Her efficiency had been dreaded all around the castle until she had figured out what was going on. Part of her talent was in recognizing when people found her hard to deal with and appeasing them.

Now, everyone in the castle brought their problems to her. Not their love problems or anything like that - she'd be lost with questions of that type - but anything relating the housekeeping, basic accountancy, and anything even remotely secretarial. Some of the staff even came to her for her special herbal memory enhancers.

Ark was not threatened by the idea of becoming an important part of the staff in this new and uncharted territory. Ark was worried about being a spy. What if she let down her queen or was in some way compromised? There were far too many factors left to chance when it came to spying. Even more so when it was done by the inexperienced like herself.

Ignoring all these sensible thoughts, Ark stiffly stood and began her packing plans.
