Night before
She is stood in the middle of it, in her incredible one of a kind Zephyra outfit. On the bed in front of her are sat 5 squirrels in a line. ‘People of Glyndore. Glyndorians. My dearest Glyndorians. My dearest subjects….People… ‘sign’ What do you think is the best?’ The squirrels all chatter at her ‘I know you are not people, but I can’t start my reign as queen with ‘people and squirrels of Glyndore can I’. she sprinkles some little nuts in front of them from her pocket, and catches site of you.
Coronation day has arrived…..
Over the last month you have all been working hard on your individual projects to establish Glyndore and ensure it has the best start with an excellent coronation. You have stitched, sung, written, guarded, flattered and strategized, and now it will hopefully all come together.
You are all up early preparing. Gauthak and his crew are already at the coronation site for security purposes, having spent the last couple of days ensuring everything is as safe as it possibly can be. Argar, you get ready and make sure you have a suitable collection of quills, inks and plenty of books for the notes you will need to make today. Lia, you are going over and over the song in your head as you get ready – you know the words, you know the notes, but you just want to be as perfect as possible. Zephyra, after working so hard to make sure everyone else will look their best, you now have the chance to finally make yourself look your best, which you obviously do in a stellar fashion. Feeny, you are both fielding, and ignoring a variety of diplomats from across the plain that all have decided you are the one to answer their questions. Vaala, as you start getting ready, you find that the smiling man has left you a gorgeous purple dress to wear for the occasion, along with a set of very fine looking jewellery. When the pendent catches the light at just the right angle, you can just make out a smiling face within; maybe Lionel will notice! Dan, you have probably never worked this hard in your life, you still have people trying to bombard you with questions even as the final hours before hand approach, you push past the tiredness, and the waving hands trying to get your attention to solve their issues with where they are sat, the order of events, and all manner of annoying things.
Any other things before the coronation.
At the pre-arranged early time, you all head to the centre of Ulis where the wizards have set up a number of teleportation points to the coronation location. Some of you saw the coronation location before today, during the planning and security stages. It was a fairly muddy and scruffy looking field, overlooking Eldaths Blessing Lake, with Lefinia just about visible on a clear day. Today, instead of an empty field, there is a huge glittering temple before you. Conjoured by Rues, and the powers of Eldath, the buildings is circular, large rocks are positions like pillars with the temple walls between them. The walls between are each expertly carved and animated as different natural scenes, with stone of different shades giving critters and creatures life as they move around the images. As you step in, you see there is as slope downwards, ending with a pool of water in the middle. Stone seats line the decline all the way around, but in true Rues style these stone seats look to have almost been grown from the stone beneath, forming different shape and while still empty of people look like a mountain vista. On the opposite side to the entrance, a 3 story multi levelled waterfall gushes down into the centre pool, and directly above the pool you see there is a perfectly matching hole in the roof, showing the surprisingly clear sky above. There are no light sources, though every surface seems to let of a low dramatic glow.
You all take your seats, Feeny in the front row, the rest of you just behind. Gauthak remains outside keeping an eye on things. More people start coming in, the most imporatnt to the front row, the rest filling in behind. There is electricity in the air as everyone chatters around you quietly. Music starts up from musicians positioned at the top of each stairway. Once the room is filled, a young boy and girl come around and pass out the pink folowers of the princess to everyone sat up front, including you Feenie.
After a few more moments, a small bearded figure, dressed in white appears on one of the ledges mid way up the waterfall. Rues raises a hand and the crowd quietens, an instrumental version of Lia's song for Glyndore starts to play. The princess, apears in the doorway, head held high. Behind her, holding her long purple robe are a group of smiling children, followed by another group sprinkling petals as they go.
The princess heads down the slope between the seats. As she reaches the edge of the pool she unfastens the cloack, and steps into the middle of the pool, which comes to about her hips, spilling her skirts out around her.
Rues speech part one
Rues takes a step forwards to the edge of the waterfall and thows one of the princesses lilies into the pool. As it touches the water, the pink turns into a glittering gold, and the symbol of eldath breifly lights up the waterfall before fading away.
Rues takes a step back, and one by one everyone on the front row takes a step forwards, saying a few words, and casting their flower towards the princess. First the religious orders
'On behalf of Silvanus, i bless this corronation'
'Grumber brings his wisdom to this founding'
'May Chauntea's grace never leave your reign'
'Kords Strength be with you'
Then the Diplomatic
An elf goes first: 'I Shalee Thesil, voice of Warden Sunwatcher, champion of the whispering trees of Naeran and hero amongst elves, bless this coronation and founding.'
then a dwarf 'er on behalf of the great young king Thaumion Blazheart, Axerock gives our support'
Feeny:
and so on
Then the internal lords that were part of Thelran all stand and throw their flowers in together. Their speaker, Sir Jameson Sherridan speaks for them as a collective 'We, Lords and Ladies, cast aside our ties to Thelran and the false king and declare our loyalities to Glyndore and its Queen'
As the last flowers hits the water, shifting from pink to gold,
the whole pool starts to glow gold beneath the princess. Her golden wings burst from her back, matching the glow beneath her. The water rises, carrying the Princess towards. Once she reaches the same hight, high above the seated crowds, Rues starts to speak again.
etc etc
Rues places the gold and perple crown upon her head, just as a beam of pure sunshine comes through the open roof above. The sun hitting the waterfall creates a rainbow behind the New queen and she looks around at all of her new subjects.
~
You all know, that at this moment, every village and town accross Glyndore is watching an illusioned recreation of this moment, of their New Queen being crowned, flying their new flags, and singing their new national song; singing for hope that their lives will soon be saved.
~
Everyone sarts clapping, and cheering, the golden water carries Queen Arhna of Glyndore back to the ground amid a sea of people wanting to shake her hand, as the new song of Glyndore is sung from every side of the room.
Everyone suddenly jumps as a loud bright firework seems to go off above everyones heads, spelling out the words 'Correllion approved'.
Amid the laughter, cheering and still clapping, everyone is directed into Dans prepared mansion for the party.

Later on...
'I want to thank you all for coming here and sharing this day with me. There have been so many people who have helped me get here, and no amount of thanks could every be enough. Which is why i want this party to be dedicated to all of you. Thsi is a victory for all of us, all of us who have seen the horrors created by my devilish uncle, those of use who have had to live though family separations, descructions of our communities, and the death of human decensy.
Glyndore will not be a country that will allows its people to starve on a road side, a country who sells its own peoples souls and bodies for a profit. We will never forget just how many people it took for us to get here.
In 2 days time our attack on Lefinia shall begin, nd when it is over, we will have reunited our people and I shall lead us back to a time where we could call everyoneone in our homes, villages, towns cities and country a family.
To the people of Glyndore!'

Feasts have been eaten, weapons sharpened, components checked. You all wake early, knowing the attack outside the walls is planned for 11am, you are in charge of managing your own timetable on when you attack the castle. As you leave, the various allies down here too acknoweledge you as you pass. Though they know they also have a battle to fight, it is you who will decide the fate of the war, country and plane.
2. Travelling through the city
To get you through the city to the forest, some of the rescued school wizards are used to turn all of you invisible. Moving throughthe city at this early hour, its quiet out, still dark as the curfew is still in place. You make your way throug hthe streets to the edge of the forest, knowing you have maybe 10 minutes of invisibility left, and will have to make most of the walk relying on your own abilities to remain undetected. The wizards wish you luck, and head back into the city.
3. Travelling through the woods
It's cold, almost silent, every crack from a broken twig seems to echo for miles around. Guard patrol, just 3 guys, 1 of them well armoured, baring the mark of Bane, the other two the lighter armour of city guards.
