[@Eviledd1984] Adykon cleared his throat. Dracon customs weren't easy to explain in this way. Females married to a king weren't called a queen. While the term 'princess' existed, it didn't mean much in terms of future power, only that she was to be married later on, or that she was married to a royal who wasn't a king. "A queen? A [i]queen?[/i] No, I don't think that Kara wants that responsibility. Not as a ruler. She'd be happy as being a consort. To be married to a king, but not to rule. I suppose her title would be queen, but only once you pass. And that won't be for a long, long time. I know how long fey can live. Until that day, Smith would be a prince and Kara a princess?" [@SilverPaw] "If you need simple items like that, it's best not to use too many magical resources on them" Aerta thought about it. "That said, there's nothing which says you can't have enchanted versions of all those supplies. Like a rope which ties itself, or a blanket which warms itself up. I can help you with that, if you like. Maybe some clothes which keep themselves clean and resist tearing?" [@TheForgottenArc] Kosjurec read the note, taking his time to absorb every little detail. "So... you're seeking redemption for your past deeds? I see. It's not going to make me turn against you, don't worry. As long as you have truly and completely repented of necromancy, it should be fine. I'm not going to pry into what made you do it, but I need to know what kind of time constraints we are looking at. The note clearly says that you only have the blessing for a short time. What happens when the blessing expires? Will you die? Succumb to darkness? Turn into an undead monstrosity?" [@bloonewb] The grand prince thought about it. "You can take your soldiers back home. Every one of them. Truly, the purpose of having them here was as a proof of concept, to see if Xigyll would really do it. When you leave, your army can go with you. And for the record, three thousand kobolds isn't very many. Even in my kingdom's weakened state, I still have tens of thousands of soldiers under my command, thousands of city guards, over a thousand bodyguards and a large network of spies. I could call up more if I had to, with some difficulty. Before we continue, I'd like to offer you a gift." Once more, he reached over to a stack of papers and wrote something down on the top sheet, then handed it to Ardasa. "This writ entitles you to something for yourself and one more your husband. Think of it as a city-warming present, if that helps. You can have either a crown, a scepter, or their equal value in gold. The royal jeweler will know how to make them kobold-sized, don't worry. And for the record, an army of twelve-thousand isn't much of a threat to any significant city. You have quite a way to go to build up your defenses. If anything, it would be wise for you to ask what Hekaga can do to aid you in your defenses until such time as you are able to field a larger force."
