For the Coronation script, Alain and Judith decided to take advantage
of their lack of experience. They were not present during Wolfhere and Honoreé's last court.
After their death, Alain was summoned to court as the Heir. Once there, an argument breaks out between
the Royal Peers, the Baronies, and the Peers as to who will really rule Trimaris. After a few
minutes of arguing, Alain silences them and decisively takes control. He announces that despite their
apparent youth, Alain and Judith are the Heirs, and would rule Trimaris as Crown. He exits to change garb. The
coronation script was based on actual period coronations from the time (mid 14th century France). Therefore, an
announcement was made warning the populace that a reenactment of a religious nature is about to begin, so that
anyone who thinks they may be offended can leave.
Not Pictured: Alain almost slicing his fingers off while handling a sword that was sharper than expected!
