Mustering Baron Nik, husband of Admiral Hestorb, has been at home reviewing military information from Schulmania. The news from the eastern front has not been good lately and he is growing concerned that Harar’s dependence upon the Bureau of Feline Affairs Military Command for its defense may put it at risk of invasion if the BFA’s forces are depleted in the defense of Schulmania. He decided that it’s about time that Harar recruits soldiers to send to the BFA. And, surely, plenty of residents will want to join in the fight He went to the palace to have an audience with Queen Vera and to the BFA offices to discuss his plan Baron Nik’s plan was warmly received by the BFA and by Queen Vera. He was authorized to canvass the land from coast to coast to assemble a force estimated to be 8-10,000 strong and march them north into Schulmania for training in The Wirdleplex. The force, to be called the Royal Harar Volunteers, would be a new division fighting under the BFA Military Command structure. Nik, promoted to General in the BFA Military, wasted no time circulating around Lake Felis to recruit volunteers His first recruit was so eager that he came with his own armor! As Nik made the rounds about Lake Felis, more and more volunteers agreed to join him on this noble quest Nik became concerned that he had too many volunteers from the capital… nearly 1/3 of the citizens were ready to leave their homes at a moment’s notice. Though it would make Lake Felis much smaller, he thought it would still be prudent to take the larger force. Nik stopped at the national cathedral to secure blessings upon his journey around the country and his upcoming quest before heading out into the Harar wilderness in search of recruits His journey carried him west past Huddleston to the coast and netted him hundreds of volunteers He went east, up and down the coast from Tangaloor In all, Nik’s volunteers far exceeded the estimates by military planners. He led a force of 28,857 recruits in a quick march north across the Schulmappalachian Mountains and toward The Wirdleplex… and destiny. <------Click here to see the revolving globe showing Harar's visitors!

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 lakeside terrace has been readied for a welcome party 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. <------Click here to see the revolving globe showing Harar's visitors!
