Sender ID: forgeabettertomorrow | (Darin Altway)
To: Everyone
Subject: Darin needs some added perspective for his studies
Warnings: He's stupid
[Darin pulls back from the camera sitting at a drafting table in his home. However, instead of blueprints and sketches and diagrams, things you'd normally see on his drafting table and workstation, there's...an awful lot of textbooks. Darin reaches up and pulls the small pair of reading glasses from his face and pinches the bridge of his nose. No, he's not wearing them for show, he actually does wear reading glasses when he needs them.]
Okay, this is going to sound really really weird coming from me but...I guess I could use some help.
Does anyone understand how like...government works? Like, at all? Because it seems like a whole bunch of rules and guidelines that should be common sense until they aren't and the more I read, the more I feel like I've either understood this my entire life or I'm going crazy.
Plus? I never went to school so...anyone up for a spirited debate? Something? Anything? If I spend anymore time reading I think I might eat the next book.

What I meant was whether or not they had any literal power along with the crown. One of our friends actually is a princess, but she's also the guardian and wielder of powerful stones called the Sol Emeralds.
Naturally, you wouldn't see anyone accusing her crown of being weak. But you'd have a hard time accusing her of self-interest, too...

Then again, I only just kinda recently became interested in the ideas of leadership and that's made me re-examine my own kingdom's entire...situation.
