Welcome to royal quest! An Intro and current info 4/25/20

Salutations! You are Carnelian Charade, the young queen of the kingdom of Stella. You were born into being a Duchess of the Rosen family, side by side with your best friend and personal guard Frigid Flake (Who you call Fringe for short). You came into power when the old king, Divine Spark, passed away of old age, and while you've had to adjust to all the responsibility you feel you're doing a good job so far since your coronation.

You've since joined with Bloody Chalice as your royal consort, with a few nights of monogamous passion leading you to become pregnant and give birth to your first foal, Scarlet Apus, who will grow up to lead the Bloodroyal Family, ruling over a not so distant island chain in the eastern sea that is now an autonomous region of Stella. Recently you hatched a dragon you've named Camellia, a mix between gem-eater and old grove types. But this land is born in blood, and with plotting tribals to the north, clever warlords to the south, pirates dominating the seas to the east, and wild desert to the west, you certainly have your work cut out to keep the peace!( Recently you committed to a secret three-way romance with Bloody chalice and your long-time guard Fringe, but that's a secret to everypony.)

Recently, you’ve made great strides to the north, the assimilation of the elk clans within Elklight have gone smoothly thus far, and you’ve arranged for a trade agreement with the independent House Regalia to your northeast. The secret arrangement with Zyzmic’s forces to your southeast has gone smoothly but you’ve not gotten any news recently aside from a short note to expect more communication a few days ago. There were imminent threats from the Dig-dug-dogs to the southwest, but the recent freak storm caused by an attempt to summon windegos killed their leader and most if not every creature in their capital. You’re also waiting on news of the warlord siblings further to the southeast, of whom Heart Buck had sent her general to kill you and frame her brother for the attack. You also got a lovely manecut.

At this moment, you're currently getting a head start into the new year in terms of projects and kingdom security, including establishing the various territories of Stella as official states, but you must now deal with personal choices; the fate of the deadly enemy general you have in your dungeon, who still has information that may influence how you deal with her leader(s?) and how they may affect your allies, but otherwise represents a violent threat should she ever get loose. Nymphadora, your top spymistress, has a plan to threaten her with changeling impregnation to ensure compliance. You also must decide if you want to encourage the vampire traits in your filly or wean her away from them while she still needs to nurse, and the idea to possibly make the enemy general nurse her came up. Of course, if things don't work out one way or another, you'll need to find some mare for the changeling eggs to go into, perhaps even yourself. You have your work cut out for you, all while making sure the nobles don't catch wind of what debauchery is taking place ahoof deep in your dungeons or your cribs, for they shall not stand by idly...
