Good day, fellow Etrayans.

Concerning Antigone's warning regarding our real names, it occurs to me that we would benefit from collaborating on this front.

To that end, I wish to open discussion.

For those who have chosen a name, please respond with what you have selected, that we may know what to call you.

For those who have not, you may use this posting to discuss your ideas or invite suggestions from others.

As for myself, I shall be using "Lucien", the name of a character from a novel in my world.

You would be surprised then, for he was not the only one. [ A pause, just for effect. ] I'd a stepmother who regarded me as something one might find stuck to their shoe, on a good day.

[ He can speak of it with some detachment now, but it hurt him to find that his father had spoke of his birth mother to that woman. In all his life Dion hadn't told a soul, because he'd bade him not to. Here, of course, there is no such limitation imposed on him. ]

The council found me a frustration as well. Bahamut has no voice in politics, but that hardly stopped me.

[ Even if there is a feeling of detatchment there, Vax knows it must have been difficult being scorned. On top of that, Dion tried so hard to speak on behalf of his people, only to be disregarded. ]

Sounds like the council wasn't very smart. Especially if they backed a king who didn't care whether his people lived or not.

The Emperor had a way of overruling whatever objections they may have had, though they were fewer than they should have been.

[ Dion had, as a small child, been impressed by his father's commanding presence. As he grew older he began to see that the other cardinals were driven by self-interest and ambition. His father was no exception, though he'd dearly wished he was. ]

After all that has come to pass, I expect there will be change, and it is due.
