Gate Keeper
Welcome, welcome!!
It has been sometime since we have had any strangers walking around these parts... yes ever since the Prince got sick tourism has been on its low side. Anyway, we hope you enjoy your little stay here in Prince Valdimir's Kingdom. I know there aren't many places to go or much to do here but the people are nice, but as I said not much has been the same since the Prince got sick.
What does the Prince have you ask? Well nothing short of a broken heart. He was to marry Lady Nitka a few months back but she ran off with another man. Since then the Prince keep pretty much to himself, the kingdom doesn't know what to do without his council, and many are afraid that a nieghboring kingdom might want to take this opportunity to mount an attack on the kingdom. Fortunatly for us that the Prince's cousin Radashek or at least he says that he is the Prince's cousin, has come to the Kingdom to help the poor Prince in these difficult times.
What rumors? Rumors that he is not the Prince's cousin and that he only pretending to be the Prince's cousin to dispose of the Prince and take the throne for himself. Other's think that he is the bastard son of the Prince's Uncle Sebastian. Nobody can confirm or deny it since Sebastian has been dead for fifteen years.
Yes he was the one that died misteriously during the Crimson Wars. Upon that subject there are even more rumors. Some saying that the Prince's father King Lethros had him killed for sleeping with his mistress. I suppose that we may never know the full truth. That's how it is with royalty isn't it? All secrets and stuff...
So enjoy your stay,and come by here anytime you feel like talking to old Guther. Be sure to stop by the Town's Gate Inn if you plan on staying for awhile here, and if your looking for great food with an all you can eat go Milo's Tavern. There having a special tonight in honor of the Prince's 21st birthday. Yes, It hink it is sweet and sour chicken, and some vegiburgers for those that don't eat meat.
Well, have a nice day and don't forget to mention that the Gate Keeper sent you. If you see the wandering girl, please don't pay much attention to her she's kind of crazy. Intermarrying can kind of do that to future generations, you play with your genes and cause mutations and that sort of thing... well at least those are the rumors or so I have been told.
