Queen Vialle's Conference with the College of Heralds

On the 5th day of the 1st month of 5273 Queen Vialle surprisingly showed up at the yearly conference of the Amber College of Heralds. This surprised the conclave since no reigning monarch, king or Queen, had attended the conference in several thousand years.

Official Rules of Order for the College seats the King and Queen as the leader of the College but this is historically considered an honorary position. In practice the Master Laurel of Arms oversees the Conferences and the College.

Queen Vialle had served in the College in the past as Rebma's representative making her very familiar with the rules and procedures.

She attended in State, wearing the Queen's Crown and bearing the King's Scepter, and stated it was her intention to settle several long standing controversies by issuing royal rulings.

Rulings:

• Queen Tradota was declared officiially to have been a married queen to King Finndo, making her son Dashel legitamate, despite his birth after She and Finndo left Amber.
• Queen Astrid's Royal Letters Patent were confirmed. Queen Vialle announced that Queen Astrid had worn the Queen's Coronet and been accepted by it. This thorny political issue had long tainted her time in Amber and Eric's reign. The announcement was part of King Random's efforts to settle outstanding matters of charters arising from Eric's term as King.
• Confirmation of legitimacy of Martin, crown Prince of Amber
• The Charters of 380 Chartered Cities were reviewed and confirmed by the crown. This issue was a technicality that had hung over many cities across the realm since the time of Oberon's disappearance that led to Eric's assumption of the throne. While a small matter that was generally overlooked on a day to day basis it did effect legal issues and use of public space and public sale of property.
• Confirmation of 2100 Letters Patent of peers covering the reign of Eric and Random.
