Interregnum

The Royal Protectorate of Harar has joined Schulmania in a period of mourning for the passing of Admiral Hestorb’s first life on 15 December 2011. (The official announcement is https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/journals/698/entry-14709-admiral-hestorb/ and includes a link to the official tribute page) The Admiral’s first life has been selected to reside in Stovokor, home of the honored warrior dead. Her second life has begun and she will resume her throne in Schulmania, there to reign indefinitely with her new life and her seven additional ones. Before beginning her official duties, she will take an extended leave of absence to rest with her husband, Baron Nik, in Lake Felis.

Baron Nik informed the local citizens that the eyes of the feline world will be fixed upon Lake Felis when the Admiral arrives

Local shopkeepers expect to make a fortune on Admiral-themed merchandise

Some residents are leasing extra rooms in hope of making money from the expected hordes of her admirers

Anticipation is mounting…

And excitement builds as word reaches town that the baron’s entourage is nearing the town

The Bureau of Feline Affairs compound is prepared for its highest profile time ever. Governor-General H. J. “Hoppy” Franciflora will be in residence for an extended period as he helps Admiral Hestorb begin her second life. Lake Felis will be the center of the feline diplomatic universe.

Queen Vera will be pleased to have so many family members visiting. The Governor-General will be staying at the Royal Palace along with her husband, Chancellor Mooky, and several members of the BFA Privy Council coming from The Wirdleplex.

The Lady of the Hour, however, will be staying at her husband’s manor on the outskirts of Lake Felis. Château de Fancy Feast - the seat of the Barony of Lake Felis, center of power for the Harar capital region. Here, she will rest and prepare for her second life in Schulmania.

She will not make any public appearances during this transition time. However, she will be out and about in Lake Felis and her many fans will be excited to see her in action again. Having left her throne in capable paws, she can focus on preparing to reassume a leadership role in her nation and its military. And this leadership is sorely needed, lest Queensferry seize this transitional period as an opportunity to make inroads into feline territory.

Admiral Hestorb and Baron Nik thank you for your kind thoughts and warm regards. The best part of feline life in Schulmania is that all nine lives may be lived to the fullest. And though one cannot feel the purrs from this computer screen; the warmth is real, generated from the hearts of those who remember.

Admiral Hestorb: first life 11 December 1997, second life 15 December 2011. Fama semper vivit.

Fama semper vivit, indeed.

I am happy to see life #2 beginning so festively! Count me among those excited revelers eager to catch a glimpse of the Admiral! And I don't even like crowds!

Congrats to the Admiral. I also really like Interregnum. The building with the patterned roof is beautiful too.
