to whom it may concern
You are cordially invited to the coronation of Empress Serenity Azurewind, it will be a day of celebration beginning with the coronation at the Temple of the Daughters, one of our holiest sites outside of Luna Isle, and followed by the Coronation Ball later in the day. For those that wish to meet with the Empress to have a friendly chat or discuss other matters, that provision has been made. We look forward to welcoming everyone both friend and stranger to Valtheim on this joyous occasion.
Consul Michael Williams
It was a typical day weather wise in Valtheim, somewhat cool, regardless of the sunlight this was still the far north. This was to be a most unique coronation owing to the build up to it, the Constitutional issues had as far as the legalities went been successfully navigated but the ceremonial would play out during the day. Across the nation many different things were in readiness, street parties, concerts, ceremonies at temples to name a handful, in Valtheim the crowds that had commuted on the day were swelling up, while those that had camped out the night before reaped the reward of front row seats, it was an event the likes of which hadn't been seen in over twenty years and hopefully wouldn't be seen again for many decades. The Marble Palace stood atop its small hill overlooking the Djana Azurewind monument - a half size stone lighthouse come beacon with two figures representing Caleb Elsif and Djana Azurewind engaging in a sword duel around it, in Djana's hand there was a flag pole from which flew the flag of the Duchy of Rosemoor - the province of Achkaerin in which Valtheim sat, the whole monument sat on a roundabout. Were it not for the noise of other members of the crowd they might have heard the faint trace of piano music from the Marble Palace. The source of the noise was Serenity (https://independentorder.net/index.php?topic=49.msg170#msg170) calming her pre coronation nerves by playing the piano and having a little sing song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd7Cam9j66E), this was not a day she'd imagined would come to her, she was the younger of two children it was only Simon's being held hostage by terrorists ten years earlier that had put her into the position of being heir to the throne and now here she was welcoming the day in as Crown Princess and knowing she'd be seeing it out as Empress.
Over at Valtheim International Airport preparations for VIP guests were finished, the honor guard was stood to, the band was tuned up to play national anthems as guests arrived and dispatched to handle the pleasantries was Princess Esme (https://independentorder.net/index.php?topic=49.msg192#msg192), brother to the former Emperor and aunt to the incoming Empress, she had enough experience and knew enough of Mundus's leaders to not put her foot in it. Taking a deep breath to steady herself she awaited the first guests.
