Chapter 4 by Nemo of Utopia Nemo of Utopia

Now comes the tricky part: whom will you marry?

You Have Identified Three Prospects

A: Maurine Chelsea Ingrid Van-Galore: Chelsea, as she prefers to be called, is a young human woman, 18 years old and from a good family, if not landed nobility. She is a stunning beauty with raven black hair and dark green eyes set in a very even face with a slightly upturned nose and pouting pink lips. She smiles easily and laughs softly, but has no interest in magic beyond the almost mundane tricks that can be accomplished with Prestidigitation such as cleaning clothes and flavoring food...
That said she brings other interests to the table, ones which compliment you own. She is an accomplished embroiderer, able to make beautiful patches and samplers with only a few days effort. She has also made herself independently wealthy, being from a family that is not above the rank where 'trade' is frowned on and having earned tidy little fortune by backing caravans and trading fleets. Last, but certainly not least, she is an archer of local renown, having taken gold in the capitol archery competitions twice. once in junior division and once as an adult. Still, is there a compatibility of spirit in two people who's interests are so divergent, or would you serve both yourself and her better by looking elsewhere?

B: Beatrice Beverly Baudrillard: Beatrice is not from a noble family, not even one that is part of high society, but she has a great advantage in your estimation of being still a virgin at the age of 21; being VERY interested in magical theory, just as you are; and being herself magically gifted. Beatrice is the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter, which by rights should have meant that she was inducted into one of the orders as soon as she was 7 years of age, but fate played a cruel trick on her. When the time came for her testing to see what her talent was she displayed as a necromantess of the black, and was bared from entry into any order by longstanding royal decree. However, talents can change if no training is given and you re-conducted the test, at your own expense. Now her talents read as a strong 'Universal', and you would like to see her study at the Academy of the Open Hand here in the capitol... Her main disadvantage is that she is not that pretty, with a horsey kind of face and mousy brown hair and eyes, but she does have an impressive chest and has saved herself for marriage, so she is not disqualified in your view.

C: Areen Ousseatlithar: Areen is an elven woman who is definitely a member of the nobility, in fact a landed knight in her own right. She also is the daughter of the late Baron Malian Ousseatlithar: 4th Baron Of Kelthwood, and at 159 is young for an elven woman. However you detect a certain disdain for the arcane arts from her, and worry that she might only accept your suit to better her position in life. You also are unsure if she is a virgin...
In appearance however she is the best of the three, flame red hair that falls to the floor, crimson lips, skin like alabaster, and blue-green eyes you could drown in. She also is the most accomplished in artistic endeavors of the three, able to play three instruments fluently and sing like an angel. Still again she is very wealthy, she would bring much to your marriage in terms of money and influence...

Which of the three women will you call on?
