Coronation Script
Coronation of Ryouko’jin II and Indrakshi II
HERALD: Their Majesties require the presence of Princess Indrakshi!
Indrakshi enters with a small retinue.
HERALD: The time has come. The season is turning inexorably, and the Crowns of the East must follow the cycle that sustains and rejuvenates. We must assemble the elements of the Coronation ceremony, and the Heirs must be ready to take up the responsibility of leading the people.
M&F: Indrakshi, you are clearly ready, but where is Ryou?
INDRAKSHI: answers, then passes to Grim
GRIM: “When we last left our story…” (short recap, see separate document)
Ryou enters with 5 retinue.
GRIM: “And then we had an answer.”
Retinue for both depart once both Indraksi and Ryou are at the dais.
HERALD: The year of the Jade Serpent has begun. Anno Societatus 58 draws close to its end. All things change, yet the Kingdom endures. The end and the beginning are one point, like a snake biting its tail, encircling the pearl at the heart of the Society. To traverse the threshold of change from one reign to the next, we observe the forms passed down to us.
M&F: As our forebears have done, generation on generation, we too shall pass our crowns to our Heirs, and the cycle will continue.
M&F both remove their crowns. Galen and Kirsa help with the swapping of the crowns to the Thunder crowns.
Galen hands off the european crown to a stagehand so he can be free to stand with M&F
Fia puts the crown on Indrakshi
Matthew passes the crown to Indrakshi
M&F step aside
Indrakshi puts the crown on Ryou
Ryou & Indrakshi move further back to make room for the table
HERALD: Matthew and Fiamun and Galen, please bear witness. The populace may be seated.
The table is brought out and put out front
HERALD: The necessary elements have been brought together, here in this nexus of the past and future. Their presence stabilizes the transition, maintaining the connection from the first days of this Society.
The Crowns of Eastern Sovereignty
Golden orbs shimmer in light
Righteousness gleaming
Power in wrought bands passes
Hand to hand and brow to brow,
Cycle ever renewing.
Soil from the First Tournament Cup of precious tourney land Whence Society grew Grains of sand sing songs of old – Well-struck blows echo through time, Sealed with benevolent gift.
Water from the Bay of Mists Kingdoms sprung from single source Mirror of the Bay Meeting place of land and sea Sweet the water which renews Close friendship with distant shores.
The Stone of Cloves from the First Eastern Crown Tournament
Stone brought forth from tourney grounds
Witness to noble deeds
Bearer of momentous bouts
Foundation of our future
Smooth ground for equal footing
The Sword of State handed from Champion to Matthew to Ryou Summer’s heat springs forth and then Inspires hearts and minds With promises of glory. Justice forges Eastern peers United for our Kingdom
HERALD: The ceremony of transition is complete. The past is not forgotten, and the future stretches forth, year on year as pearls upon a filament. We carry the memory of all that has gone before, and seek to grow and learn and add to our store of knowledge.
Matthew and Fiamun, please come before Their Majesties
R& I move forward to meet M&F (pass sword back to Champion)
Table is cleared behind them
R&I: say whatever they want in terms of bestowing proper status, in accordance with the laws and traditions, and in recognition of the service done.
HERALD: reads scroll
County coronets are conferred. Vivats.
Champion plays the recorder as M&F and Galen process out
HERALD: While the Kingdom is led by our new Sovereigns, the Kingdom cannot run by their will alone. The East does not have traditional oaths, nor do we ask any to be given now. We would have confirmation that the forms have been properly observed, and that the representatives of Society and Lands are willing to continue their important service.
HERALD: Their Majesties call the Greater Officers to step forward, present yourself and your office.
Greater Officers come up Greater Officers announce their name & office
In your office, will you continue to perform your duties diligently, and to honorably execute the lawful requirements?
Greater Officers: WE WILL.
HERALD: Thank you all. You may be seated.
Greater Officers depart
HERALD: Their Majesties call the representatives of the lands to step forward, and present yourself.
Runnymede come up Runnymede announce their name & Barony/Crown Province
HERALD: In your station, will you continue to provide counsel and to support the people who reside within your borders? Runnymede: WE WILL.
HERALD: Thank you all. You may be seated.
Runnymede departs
HERALD: While these worthies are essential to the efficient operation of procedure and process, the Kingdom is nothing without its populace. We must confirm that the people believe that the cycle of Sovereigns is renewed, is unbroken.
If this is your belief, please respond with So Say We All.
Populace: SO SAY WE ALL!
HERALD: The thunder of the season of shunbun has dissipated. Today begins the season of seimei, clearing the air so that swallows can safely build new nests. For all within the enclosure of the Kingdom, the cycle has ended; the next begins anew.
Long live King Ryouko’jin! (Populace responds) Long live the Queen Indrakshi! (Populace responds) Long live the Kingdom of the East! (Populace responds)
