During the feast of "Get Stuffed 4: After Dinner Mince"
the Shadowkin decided to remove their "gift" of Mauritanja
and its defences from the control of Lady Adelena.
The Shadowkin had passed on the control of Mauritanja
and its defences to Lady Adelena during her coronation.
They had insisted that Mauritanja have a reigning
Monarch, rather than a Lord or Lady General, and
would only pass over the control of Mauritanja’s
defences to a Queen or King.
Now, they have accused Lady Adelena of allowing
Mauritanja to be almost destroyed by dropping the
defences when a massive tidal swell was due. They
then retook the powers they bestowed to her and
restored the defences of Mauritanja just as the
tidal swell hit.
It was after this that bitter infighting broke
out amongst the two Shadowkin. Apparently this fight
was over the succession to the Shadowkin Throne
which was causing Civil war amongst the Shadowkin
people. Surely this sort of civil war is proof enough
of why Mauritanja should never have a Monarchy.
And now, we return to the question again, why
is the entirety of the power of Mauritanja place
back in one person’s hands? It is not because we
need a Monarch, the need for that has gone along
with the Shadowkin.
The only reason for the Monarchy to remain is
because the current Monarchy is trying to keep the
power it holds and stop the Unicorn people from
being in control of their own destiny.
| Red
is the Republic Mallor,
our representative to the Unicorn people, will be
attending all future Unicorn meetings. He will be
carrying the Red sash of the Republic with him and
for all those that wish to support the Republic
should ask him for a sash.
These sashes are not instead
of the Blue that we all wear as Unicorns. These
sashes should be worn alongside the blue of the
Unicorns, to say that we are Unicorns and we are
proud to be a Republic.
Those that show the Republics
support will be supported by the Republic. Those
that protect the current corrupt Monarchy should
hope that they are protected by it.
Adelena’s
Son "fined" We were,
"unsurprised" and "unamused" to hear that Lady Adelena’s
Son, Hatep, was fined a small amount of gold for
being directly responsible for the death of a fellow
Unicorn.
The paltry sum that he was
fined went, of course, straight to the coffers of
the Unicorn Monarchy.
We’re sure that Lady Adelena
thought long and hard before borrowing the money
from the Monarchy coffers to pay for her son’s fine.
This is just another sign
of the corruption endemic in the Monarchy of Mauritanja.
Next they will be selling positions of power to
whoever has the most money, rather than letting
the people of Mauritanja choose the most worthy.
