RP: Meeting of Noble Families

[Togas]

I, Decedro Togas, ruler of Spain, hereby request that representatives from all of the Great Spanish Families meet at Casa del Togas to discuss important future matters of the tribe.

I have traveled with sons of the Dejon clan to the peaks of the Great Spanish mountains to the west to personally view a vast valley of cattle, a rich land free from Barbarians, a land that is far from Madrid, but one that we should control.

I believe that we shall send a great many families to this new land to forge a new city. I wish to see who amongst us is brave enough to lead this great undertaking. Who has the courage to leave his home and build another city?

Also, I am not my father or my father's father. I am my own man. I have deep respect for the elders chosen in the past, but if I am to reign over our people in this time of the expansion of our nation, I wish to appoint my own advisors.

I seek counsel from you as to whom would be best to serve me as my advisors.

Please, speak your mind.

--Togas

[GodKing]

Sir, I have cleaned the chamber pots from your family for over 5 generations now. I look forward to cleaning you pot as well.

Relations with the foreign dogs known as Great Stromboli are in a hold pattern now as they sit on their behind and do nothing.

My I continue to serve in these as well as any other capacity that you may need.

* Fletcher Dejon arrives

Hey Decedro - how's it going?

* Fletcher looks around and realizes his error

Ahem, Lord Togas, how may the Dejon family serve you?

Before you ask why I was sent...

Poupon is escorting the TEG, Dijon leads the Madrid Expedition, and the others are swamped with the family shop and duties at the Training Ground. So here I am!

I have the most recent reports from our warriors, a status of all armed forces and training, and finally the wise men bid me pass on their report with the Bronze metal - they're nice guys - one of them promised to help me with my ranged stick invention!


OOC Edit: Prince!

/me the elderly governor hears news of this, and declares

I don't like the sound of this young one. He's out to get all our powers, he is!

(Whispering to Gastronome: Perhaps Fletcher should be the new mayor of Madrid...Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Whoops...sorry...)

I, O Great Decedero Togas, Despot of Iberia, Majestic, Beneficient, and Magnanimous Ruler, Star of the Land of the Squid, King of the Horizons, Soter, Vandal-Smiter, Lord of Madrid and the Valley of the Cows, Warrior-King, Son of Enero, Son of Togas, Son of Togias, Son of Togas, Who fought the Visigoths and the Vandals at the plains of Santiago and there slew the two barbarian kings Alaric and Geneseric, and united the tribes at Madrid:

I, Hernan de History Guy Calamari the Younger, present myself as a candidate for just about everything except for the post of Grand High Chamberpot Cleaner (against Shaman's orders).

I have but one suggestion to make, however. Do nothing where religion is concerned as yet. The High Priest, Tacticus, is one of the greatest men of history, and to replace him would be a terrible loss, I think. I, as Assistant Priest, know well of his greatness, and must say that it would be wrong, after all his years of incredible service, to remove him for that office.

However, everything else I will not comment upon, except that I am skilled in many things, and put myself forward for any one of them [ooc] that does not involve PtW [/ooc].

Squid Baron
Assistant Priest to His Holiness

O Despot, as my brother Jordà is out on an expedition I am the temporary head of the family. I would like to continue my uncle’s work as the Official Annalist.

If it please your Despotness, my Aunt JoaquÃna would like to educate any daughters of yours in the Arts of Etiquette.

Your Grace,

Lorenzo, the most trusted advisor of your grandfather and father, seems now to be on his deathbed himself. He has served your family well over these many years. However, as I know my father has already discussed with you, my service to the tribe may not necessarily be of the same character as my father's.

Areas where I believe I might be of particular use to yourself or the tribe would be as an ambassador to a foreign land, as the leader of a new settlement as you suggest (OOC: We have already discussed how NOT being FAM but being President could go either way with time commitments), or some other position. I would be willing to speak on these matters with you in private, should you grant such an audience. I fear that my father, the most trusted advisor of your household for many years, is likely too ill to discuss the matter of my office and I must discuss it with you myself.

In gratitude,

Diego Clemente

Gracious Dictator,

My father Juan de Torquemada, Watcher, is quite proud that during all those years he has been watching for your family, no serious attempt for threatening the security of the Dictators power and person was undertaken; he has some reasons to believe that his watching was therefore not totally useless. Considering his declining health, he has decided that some younger caballero, but as loyal and faithfull than he is, must be assigned this duty by Your Grace.

Although my father will certainly be desappointed that I do not follows the same path, I think that the situation is now quite different from the beginning of your family rise. The dynasty is firmly established, and the time calls for new moves. I respectfully suggest to Your Grace to create the charge of Chronologist. I see it as a very simple thing consisting in recording chronologically all events; this will be of some use for easy reference in the daily life, and it will help the historians of the future to write the fair and true History of your lineage in its greatness.

Although loyalty can be inherited, I ask Your Grace as a favor to put mine at test whenever an opportunity occurs, in such a way that the strong links that united our fathers be reestablished in a personal relation.


Christofo de Torquemada


P.S. : My father keeps busy in compiling all the informations collected when watching. He said that if properly used they will provide me with innumerable friends, and my friends are your devoted servants ...

O Great Dictator,

This sounds very much like what my family does already in the Annals and what the Historian does. What will the Chronologist do that is different? Have my family’s Annals displeased you in some way?

I know that my brother Jordà was not too excited about the family duty of keeping up the Annals but now that he has gone off on the adventures he always wanted to do they will be done better in future.

your humble servant

Señor Pikesfan,

I have too much admiration for the Annals of Iberian for even contemplating to duplicate them. What I was talking about has not a litterary form, and cannot be named History : it is the simplest recording of events, systematically entered, in chronological order. I have been impressed by the fact that the mythical Apolytonia, despite all its wealth and power, has not been able to produce such a record.

If we are all competing to deserve and earn the esteem of our Gracious Dictator, it is not by copying your masterpiece that I intend to succeed.

Great Dictator,

As you certainly knew it this morning, my grandfather, señor Astronicus is dead yesterday evening. It talked about me its big projects and of his wish that I follow his steps to your service, this that I will accept gladly if such is your decision.

I am nevertheless bolder than my grandfather and would wish to participate in the creation of a fleet for our empire being born, in order to launch it to the discovery of new lands beyond the seas. Also, I wish to find a new abode in our next coastal city, there where Señor Astronicus wanted to realize the Great Lighthouse. Of more, I would wish to become the governor of this city, in order to assure me that his big project become realized, if no by me, at least by my worthy successor.

Be able these humble words to find sufficiently grace on your ears.

[OOC]

Oh, I see. So we will have three histories:

1. The Chronology, recording all the events by year.
2. The Annals, listing the rulers and summarizing the chief events by reign
3. The History, which tells the stories behind the events.

We will have to announce we have three histories. Won’t everyone in PtWland be impressed

Your Great Supremeness,

I, jdjdjd jdjdjd II, third son of jdjdjd jdjdjd, Ambassador to Lux Invicta, have news of my father's passing. Ironically, he was struck down by a thunderbolt. My two brothers believe it was Zeus, in retaliation for my father's renouncing of the Olympians. My brothers have left the town vowing revenge. My family is not great as the others, and in fact, it only is myself and my younger brother, Francisco Pizarro jdjdjd, named after his High Holiness, the saviour of my father's life.

I will make all efforts to serve you and be at this meeting, if you so wish it. I will also like to replace my father as Ambassador to the People of the Invincible Light. I have joined in several meeting between my father and Admiral PJ, and have acted as my father's apprentice prior to his demise. His dying words were that I carry on his work and serve the Great TogasFamily.

Thank you for hearing me.

I´d like to keep my place as ambassdor to the Voxians, if millord would allow me to. Also, if my lord requires me to do any other enchargment, I will do what little I can to the best of my abillity to aid. In fact, I have the time and the will to take any extra enchargment millord thinks I am capable of.
