proclaimed last week that his successor would be his son, His Imperial Highness Crown Prince Yinju. The Emperor's loyal brother, Prince Kai has held the position until the Crown Prince was of age.
The Crown Prince is renowned throughout Dovani and Terra for being of outstanding virtue and morality. A strictly filial young man, the Prince rises every day before dawn reliably to confer his prayers and best wishes to Her Imperial Majesty Empress Wenming and to the Son of Heaven. It is said that the Crown Prince spends the vast majority of his free time practicing and receiving instruction in various Indralan martial arts and is formally tutored in the classics of Jienshi and the memorials of Emperor's of antiquity. Much
like his radiant father, His Imperial Highness is also well regarded for his strategic skill at the game of go.
Earlier this year, the Crown Prince travelled with his younger brother, Prince Wanjun and his Uncle, the Prince Kai, to the fishing and farming village of Anjiao, Shu. In the village, the Crown Prince shocked many as his father had years before him by providing on-the-spot guidance to farmers and participating in manual labour among the citizens. He also visited an assisted-living home where he expressed the most proper piety to his elders, and swore to make sacrifices and prayers for them at the Altar of Heaven. The citizens of Anjiao were so moved that it is reported that upon the Crown Prince's departure, many could not help but to wail for days.
The Crown Prince intends to receive a tertiary education whilst continuing to fulfil his royal duties. It is reported that the Crown Prince differs from his father in that he sees a more active role for the monarch in politics, although this is just conjecture.
Announcing his successor brought His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor, such pleasure that he decided to confer noble titles to the his first-cousin, the Chief Counselor Lü Yejun, as well as the patriarch of the Cheng Clan, Cheng Yuhan to mark the historic occasion.
Indralans Returned! Taeyang Tyrant Capitulates to Heaven's Will! 20 June 4361After the immense pressure of Indrala and her allies, the Dranian cabinet held a frantic meeting in which they
unanimously decided to return the three citizens they had kidnapped
four years ago, rather than suffer utter and complete destruction. Representatives of the Taeyang Regime asked the government to turn the affair into a photo-op, but the wise and firm Chief Counselor and his cabinet
refused! Nonetheless, thousands of Indralans crowded Wu Hán International Airport in Kaizhou, Jiaozhi to wish the returning victims their prayers and heartfelt solidarity.
It is reported that He Bolin and Cheng Feiyu were extremely malnourished upon arrival in Indrala, and the two were rushed to Kaizhou National University Hospital where they are now receiving treatment. The third Dranian victim, Ryeo (or Lü) Seojun was also brought to KNUH to receive a medical evaluation. In recognition of the horrors endured by the three Indralans who were used as puppets for Taeyang Yoon-Jin's sick games, and in an expression of filial piety toward his older brother, the Chief Counselor, Count Lü Yejun demanded that the victims "should be afforded a full healthcare review, physical and mental, with the utmost level of privacy." Thus, it is expected that all three will remain in hospital for the foreseeable future.
Various members of the Imperial Household have visited the hospital. Ryeo Seojun, who is the nephew of the Emperor's Mother Ryeo Kyunghee, and thus the Emperor's cousin, received his aforementioned aunt as well as the Lord Father Sun Luhan, and cousins Prince Kai and Princess Jieyou. Upon seeing her nephew's condition, it is reported that the Emperor's Royal Mother broke down into tears and fainted. The members of the Imperial Household also visited He and Cheng and promised to make sacrifices and prayers on their behalf.
It is said that His Imperial Majesty, the Son of Heaven is resting for the next week. During these past four years, the Emperor has spent the vast majority of his time prostrating himself before Heaven and Earth with complete sincerity. Seeing how this situation has resolved, it is clear yet again that Heaven is with our Emperor! The Emperor's attendants were very worried for his health, as he resolutely fasted for the victims of the Dranian kidnapping for long stretches of times. Oh how he suffered! And oh, how lucky we are to live under the rule of a monarch who cares so earnestly about each and every one of his subjects! May the Emperor live and reign for ten thousand years!
Princess Subin Expected to Become Next Hatun of the Jelbek Khaganate 30 July 4361The Khagan of Jelbania has selflessly led reforms to strengthen the welfare of his people for many years now. In his wisdom, the Khagan has granted additional power to the nation's representative body, the Kurultai. As his Imperial Highness, the Lord Father once wrote, "the people are the eyes and ears of heaven. Therefore, there is no better way to ensure that the will of heaven is respected and the mandate to rule remains strong than to grant people the ability to elect their own representatives and to empower them." Thus we can see that Khagan Manil is truly sagacious in his rule!
The agreement, referred to locally as the
'Grand Compromise' also resolved what had been a potential succession crisis by adopting a male-preference primogeniture system of succession. Having not been blessed with a son, the Khagan's brother, Prince Jebr is now next-in-line and is expected to succeed him. Prince Jebr
married the Emperor's sister, Her Imperial Highness Sun Subin in February of 4350. The two met the earlier year, when the Princess
travelled Majatra alongside her brother, Prince Kai. During the ten days the royals spent in Jelbania (the longest duration of the tour) there were rumours that the Princess and the Prince were inseparable, while remaining virtuous, of course.
Every day, in many ways, the brotherhood between the people of Indrala and Jelbania continues to grow.
