Nae Karae

I am coming back to you for the mission you have entrusted to me.
The archives I was able to search did not reveal anything to me, so I asked for an appointment with Ser Zo'ro Argh, the Ranger Observer, who himself referred me to Serae Do'ro Thée and Daniellea.
They possessed little but it was deduced that Svaldi Bucci may have been the archivist of the organization that preceded the Atys Rangers, before the second swarm.
Therefore, if the facts go back to before the second swarm, I am unlikely to be able to find out more in the archives.
However, the information could surely be obtained more reliably from the main interested party, the head of the Ranger organization, Serae Dradius.

Would you allow me, Nae Karae, to request an interview with Serae Dradius on my behalf as your Lady-in-Waiting? I could then give a much more precise answer to Your Majesty.

Pending your agreement,

Jena Aiye, Karae Aiye

Liosta Be’Zephy
Karae’s Lady-in-Waiting

La Karae Tamiela Fera Fillia di Torani relut la missive de sa dernière dame de compagnie en date et sourit avec un peu de mélancolie. Un tel enthousiasme trahissait son ascendance tryker. Mais avec assez de retenue pour ne pas mettre sa Karae dans l'embarras par inadvertance.
Elle prit une plume d'izam et rédigea une brève réponse.

Serae Liosta Be'Zephy,

Je vous permets bien volontiers de mener toute action nécessaire à l'accomplissement de la mission que je vous ai confiée. Je sais pouvoir compter sur vous pour vous conduire en tout temps et tout lieu comme une digne membre de ma Cour et que rien dans votre comportement ne me donnera raison de regretter de vous avoir choisie pour Dame de Compagnie.

Tamiela Fera Fillia di Torani
Karae du Royaume du Sommet Verdoyant

Elle relut et scella la lettre, puis fit signe à un serviteur qui l'emporta rapidement vers sa destinataire.

Nyae-Karae Tamiela has opened the Court by expressing her delight to see her Court gathered agin and especially with the presence of Karaedin Nirni.
She took this opportunity to remind the rules for these assemblies: respect for courtesy and politeness rules, and prohibition of any weapon.

She also reminded the objectives or her Court: to promote the matisian culture and arts in all there aspects. Music, jewelry, sewing, botany, painting, kitinology…
She finally presented the members of her Court with a special position: her Ladies in Waiting Filirae Ayala and Serae Liosta, the Royal Historian Filira Salazar, the Royal Linguists Filira Copal and Ser Nilstilar.
Some other members were unfortunately absent, such as the Royal Florist Filira Zakkk, or the Royal Minstrels.
Hence the Karae invited the homins and hominas attending to show their talents if they wished to become permanent members of her Court.


Serae Liosta wished to follow her House leader in becoming a Royal Minstrel. She recited a poem which she had prepared for the occasion. After that, the Karae accepted her as Royal Minstrel.

Serae Belauren also presented a poem entirely said in matéis. The Karae praised the efforts of the Serae and invited her to persevere and come back with another poem after she made enough progress.

Filirae Canillia mentioned her skills in botany. But he Karae and the Filirae both agreed that the position of Royal Florist, which mainly consists in offering bouquets to the hominas of the Court, was best suited to a homin.
So Filirae Canillia preferred to apply as Royal Jeweler. She couldn’t demonstrate her skills on the spot but she will present a diadem of her hand to the Karaedin.

Serae Lylanea then presented a song in the memory of late Karae-Mother Lea. Her song moved the assembly and was found worth of the Court by the Karae. But Serae Lylanea being a Ranger cannot hold a royal title.

Then Ser Vauban agreed to give matéis lessons to all interested homins. Several ones applied during the Court and a lesson should be offered soon**.

Finally Nyae-Karae went to the subject of kitinology. She explained that Duchess Mona di Fareni, an leading kitinology expert, has received a part of the black sting found near the former Guide of the Rangers. The sting had been given to the fyros Imperial Academy. The researcher in charge of the study noticed that the sting was quickly deteriorating and cut it in three parts, each of them being sealed in a Daïsha’s stance. The part that she received was thought not in a shape allowing a proper analysis, which she deeply regretted. She’ll do her best nonetheless to get usable information from it.
The third part of the sting has been sent to the Theocracy. It might be hoped for it to be in a better shape than the second one.

At the very end of the Assembly, answering a question by Filira Salazar, the Karaedin expressed interest for the abandoned project of botanical garden. She will ask Filirae Canillia to see if it is possible to restart it.

Miscellaneous questions

Canillia a vu la convocation à la Cour de la Karae.
Elle se souvient qu'il y a une éternité, dans un autre monde elle avait postulé au poste de bijoutière Royale.
Depuis sa déchéance beaucoup de choses ont changé. Doit-Elle risquer un refus public fait à l'homine-wivan.
Elle est certaine qu'elle ne supportera pas un nouvel affront. La grande Claque lui a appris la prudence.
Ne rien présenter serait une honte bien plus cuisante.
Aussi, Canillia décide de soumettre son œuvre à l’approbation de la Karae avant l'assemblée. Cela évitera, peut être, un nouveau scandale qui lui serait préjudiciable.

l'homine nettoie et lustre le diadème.
Elle le range dans un sac vert en soie d'araignée finement tissée et brodée.
Puis place ce sac dans une très jolie boite en bois laqué. Sur le couvercle, une Rotoa est stylisée à la peinture dorée.
Elle dépose un courrier explicatif sur la boite.

Canillia enveloppe la boite dans une toile de lin immaculée finement tissée et la lie avec un cordon Kumihimo Zoraï de soie au couleurs de la Karae.

Elle range l'ensemble dans un sac de cuir tout neuf.
Elle ordonne à Lyssan de remettre en main propre ce colis à Serae Liosta et d'attendre une réponse.
Elle ajoute un pli destiné à Serae Liosta.

The Karae could feel her Lady in Waiting's nervousness as she finished reading serae Canillia's letter. The box was still in serae Liosta's hands. Anything was still possible, including refusing to open it. This would sign Canillia's definitive rejection and send the young matis back to the cesspool from which she had emerged.
Tamiela understood the Karan's sentence; he hated mediocrity and demanded the best from those around him. Manalitch, who had been exiled to perfect his training, could testify to this.
But despite all this time spent as a Karae, she couldn't forget that she had only been the second choice. To deny Canillia a second chance would be to deny everything she was, everything she'd lived, everything she'd fought for.
She set the letter down and turned to serae Liosta.
"Give me this box and tell serae Canillia that I'm relying on her. She won't disappoint me, I'm sure."

Addendum to agenda of the Court of the Karae - 22h - Quinteth, Thermis 5, 1st AC 2627
