Greetings to all of the people of our world.

Tis' not often that I am granted the opportunity to announce an event such as the one which will take place 3 weeks hence. Therefore, let me get straight to the point.

I am proud to announce the union of my son Crown Prince and Prime Mage Marcus 1st. To Her Reverence, Archmage Shayalla Terneal, 1st. Mage of the Relannea Mages Guild. I will make some pictures of the happy couple available soon.

The nuptuals will be held on the third day of the week three weeks hence, at the tolling of the mid evening bell as per the customs of the Mage's Guild. (8PM Local time)

All foreign diplomats who wish to attend, may do so by contacting our Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A small background check is necessary for security purposes for those nations who do not already have an embassy in our domain.

Wedding gifts and cards may be sent to the couple, C/O the Imperial Palace, Relanne City.

It is asked that all those wishing to attend, allow us to handle transportation. The ground and air traffic in and around Relanne City that day is expected to be highly congested. In addition, no civilian aircraft will be allowed within the city's airspace perimeter due to the fact that 5 of our Sparrow Class Battlecruisers will be orbiting the city at relatively low altitude to provide a non-stop fireworks display like none this world has ever seen.

The festivities will include, free food, demonstrations of the various forms and specialties of the Magic Arts, by various member's of the Mage's Guild. Air and ground shows performed by our military. A mini-mage ball tournemant for children up to age 10. Prizes, open bars at all of the city's pubs and taverns including the famous (and some would say Infamous) Sparrow's Nest Tavern, located at our main starport.

There will also be rides given in some of our Raptor class Starfighters for kids of all ages with parental consent where applicable. Also a tour of Prince Marcus' command ship, the Sparrowhawk Class Battlecruiser Vengeance will be given before the ceremony. Attendees for the tour must notify us at least 1 week in advance of the show since a thorough background check will be used for security.

The ceremony itself will be a traditional Mage's Guild ceremony. It will last just a little over an hour and a half. It is asked that persons who have had negative reactions in the past to Magical energy, please refrain from attending since very high order magics will be worked during the life force bonding part of the ceremony.

Traditional witness robes will be provided for all persons who will attend and are not a member of the Mage's Guild.

We look forward to hosting many of our new neighbors and friends at this very special event. We also hope that it will give our neighbors a bit more of an idea of what our culture is like, and show them some of our most festive traditions.

Following the ceremony, there will be a reception held at the main Mage's Guild Hall in Relanne City.

A national holiday has been decreed for the two days following the ceremony.

Please contact us if you have more questions or wish to attend.


In celebration of this wonderous event, as per our custom, I will be making another announcement in the few days. This announcement will significantly change the very fabric of life on this planet.

The Outer Ministry of the United Duchies

The United Duchies will be sending a live wedding present, a Klatchian Tiger Cub. Klatchian Tigers are quite intelligent, more so than the average dog, and quite loyal.

-Jhon Mallory, Secretary of Gifts and Trinkets, Outer Ministry

We thank you for your exquisite gift. We shall arrange for one of our top naturalists from our Ministry of Wildlife Preservation to be ready to receive the Tiger cub. It will be interesting to see how it gets along with some of the feline species we brought from our old homeworld. Please let us know what special arrangements you need us to make for it's arrival. And from our entire Imperial Family, we thank you.

The Emperor and Empress of Bostopia, along with the whole Bostopian Royal Lineage wish the Crown Prince and Her Reverange the Archmage the very best wishes for their wedding celebrations, and would be delighted to attend the wedding ceremony.

Furthurmore, the Bostopian Government wish to give the couple and country of Relannae a gift of 3 square miles of land in Glenrock State, Bostopia. The land has access to the Bostopian Channel (seperating the East and West Isles of Bostopia), and is to the West of Glenrock City, and to the North-West of our capital city, Fort Boston.

A map of Bostopia is available on our website. (ooc: see link to wiki in my signature)

We of the Federation of the Sky Kings wish to give congrats to your Royal Majesty, your son the Prince, and of course his lovely bride. While we are a small and developing country, we feel that such an occasion deserves a gift. Please accept a squadron of our top-of-the-line Blade class starfighters, which, while possibly less impressive than your Raptors, represent the best in our fleets. We also wish to attend the ceremony/reception, and we will gladly allow your people to perform a background check on our nation. Again, best wishes to the new couple.

Thank you for the generous gift. I know my son enjoys the simple pleasure of fishing and will make the best possible use of this land. We look forward to seeing you at the ceremony.

A very sincere Thank You from our family. My son loves to fly everything from his gliders, to his personal raptor, to his command ship (yes a 5.5 mile ship that has a joystick.. :) ). I am sure he will love the blades. As long as it is fast, dangerous, bumpy and scary, he will love it. :) We look forward to your attendance.

The president of Hamturwinske, along with a select entourage, would be most honored to attend the wedding of the Crown Prince and his bride-to-be. In your announcement you mention that you would release pictures of the couple. We request that you do so soon, as we plan to have one of the finest artists in Hamturwinske create a sculpture of the two (obviously not a perfect reproduction, but a close approximation), which will then be sent as a wedding gift.

We offer our congratulations to the soon-to-be newlyweds, and wish them happiness in their new union. We look forward to the ceremony and celebrations.

A wedding! I love weddings! Drinks all around!

We welcome your entourage. And we have reserved a table for them at the reception. The Imperial Imager will be coming to the palace later today to take a tri-di scan of the couple. It will take a bit to translate the image into a format which can be handled by most equipment. Probably by the end of Tomorrow.

As promised, here is an image taken of the Royal Couple, Marcus and Shaeyalla, on the Mage's Guild back terrace, overlooking the great Alnarraen Sea. In case this doesn't correctly display, here is a direct link to the primary image.

Ah, what a lovely picture of the happy couple! Could you remind me when the event is going to be held? My scribe completly lost his head (literally) when he found out that he never wrote down the date!
[[OOC: Is this wedding going to be in the forums or something?]]

It is with great pleasure that Dictator Bomble presents you with a golden can of "Death Volcano", the fizziest canned beverage in the world. This is indeed a joyous day as never in the history of Bomble has a golden can of said beverage been manafactured, indeed hand inscripted with the names of anyone (you will find the names of the happy couple inscripted on the base of the can, next to the use-by date). We hope this gift brings joy, love and many a loud burp to the people of your country.

Bomble himself sends his greetings and salutations. He hopes that the happy couple are satisfied in the knowledge that a youth has been publicly tortured and subsequently excecuted in their honour.

We sincerely hope that your people accept this gift as a token of friendship and that nothing adverse comes of it.

Once again, many congratulations.

The ceremony shall be held on the 14th day of the next month. I am hoping to get some of our more reliable members of the press to cover the event.

We do not condone torture, especially that of a youth, and an execution in the name of the prince and archmage is considered an insult to our entire nation...

When Lady Shaeyalla received news of this act of perversion, she became very quiet, and then proceeded to her ritual room, with most of her higher level mages in tow... She has not come out since.

There is an extremely old and very wise saying in our culture...

It is not wise to anger a mage.

In this case I would add that it is absolutely masochistic to anger the head of the entire mage's guild... I am sure you will be able to enjoy your new life in whatever form she decides to transform you into.


BTW, thank you for the canned beverage. Since you had handled it for a while before sending it on; it made it very easy for the Guild to get a sample of your life force... Spells always work better with a bit of the target to work with.

Once again, many congratulations.

Mr Vincent Takaguchi (the sender of the golden "Death Volcano" beverage) and the nation of Bomble as a whole sends their deepest apologies for sacrificing a youth in the happy couple's honour. We assure you that the sacrificed youth was one of an orphanage so no family or friends were saddened or offended.

Many more apologies though, as what can only be descibed as a clerical error led to an additional 56 youths (all living in orphanages) sacrificed throughout Bomble. As a result of this, enclosed is a card of a saddened elephant bearing the title "I'm ever so sorry!". Please accept this token and hope that this has all blown over by next week.

Please also find enclosed a bill amounting to the sum of T175.76. This is to cover Mr Takaguchi's veterinarian bills. Mr Takaguchi recieved 4 vaccinations (including distemper) and medicine for a rather bad case of fleas. We look forward to your cheque in the coming days.

*Note: The orchestrator of these latest terrible events, Mr Bill Brickhead, has been severely repremanded and, as a result will serve a total of 1 hour in detention.

The Empire of Relannae is fully aware of the quality of your apology and is also deeply sorry. Not only are we sorry for the unfortunate deaths, but our Mage's Guild is deeply sorry for the odd melting effect which we have confirmed seems to be affecting the reproductive organs of all those persons involved in the deaths of the youths... The guild assures me that this melting effect will probably go away within a few years, usually when the last inch or two of the person is finished melting. They also say they are forwarding payment for the bill you enclosed. Since we have not set up an international exchange medium with your government yet, they are sending payment in the only medium they have which is recognized in your nation; coupons. According to the print on the coupons, each one has an actual value of 1/10 of 1 centra. Therefore expect the arrival of 175,760 coupons for 10% off of a 32 Gallon economy size bottle of Geritol. We understand this is a very popular drink in your nation.

Bomble would like to express it's gratitude upon recieving said coupons. Let it be assured that all 175 760 coupons shall be safely stored in Government House, away from prying civilian eyes.

The melting of all involved in the deaths of the youths initially was a shock to governmental staff. Deliberate harm of any Bomblean citizen is a serious insult to our people and culture, usually punishible by public torture and/or death. However, due to a sharp increase in population over the past 100 years, the Government of Bomble now looks upon citizens as human resources, meaning that the death of a citizen has a minimal effect on the fabric of society. Day to day running of Bomble will continue as normal, interrupted only by executions and motor racing events.

Regards,
Dictator Bomble.

*Note: The flaming bag of excrement you will recieve on your steps tomorrow morning was not intended for your government, but a former tutor of Dictator Bomble. If you could kindly pass this on to him, it would be the greatest of help.
