Dreamform: Britannia's Colony

"Is this the White Court's Kingdom, you say?

"No, old boy, you've got it all wrong. The Empire is far bigger than just this little country. This is just one colony amongst many. They say that the sun never sets on the Empire, because all across the world there's always at least one part of it where it's noon.

"The Empire is a grand old place, and here in the Colonies we're just one part of the big picture. Us white chaps are just here to keep the sepoys and little brown lads in line, aren't we?

"But now they say that some foreign power is coming here to try to take our little jewel of a colony from us. It won't make any difference though, because do you know who arrived on New Years Day?

"That's right - King Ranulph himself, god bless his soul! He's brought with him armies and generals, and there ain't an enemy in the world that can stand up to him!"

The Dominant Actors of the Court

KING: King Ranulph, Britannia's Emperor

In the most literal sense, Ranulph has delusions of grandeur. He believes himself to be in his fifties, and the fae emperor of a domain that stretches across hundred of realms. He believes that he is coming to the Colonies to see off a threat from a foreign power, and he hasn't even heard of the "Game of Succession"

Of course, such is the power of a King's Dreaming that everyone else believes this too. The people of the Colonies are fully expecting the full might of the Empire to follow after the King any time now, and fully expect that the foreign enemy can will be run off at the first sight of cold steel.

Naturally, if the King wins the Game of Succession his delusion will become reality, and Arcadia will be Britannia... at least for a thousand years.

Ranulph himself has the appearance of a late middle-aged monarch, with dress uniform, grey hair, a fine handlebar moustache and a monocle. He speaks with an accent that betrays his Etonian education. For as far as he can remember he has been a confirmed bachelor, so he was somewhat surprised when his young Queen-to-be stole his heart away. He has given her his love, and promises to marry her as soon as this "little war" is done with.

• Suggested Drawbacks:
• Suggested Traits:

KNIGHT: Brigadier Archibald Fotheringham

A gentleman commander of the traditional sort, Fotheringham believes in starched collars, flogging malcontents and marching in tight formation. Despite being unpopular with his men he is undeniably feared and respected, and undeniably effective. His assaults may result in high casualty rates (as he's a fan of escalades and frontal charges) but he generally gets the job done.
