A Time to Be Born…
And A Time To Die

Upon the 437th Year of the Human Era on the 14th night of August, during the reign of King Jonathan the III, a baby was born unto their graces, the Duke and Duchess of Queenscove.
While their graces rejoiced so did the whole of the Dukedom. Their graces had always wanted an heir and the people of Queenscove knew well enough that their graces were good people and would adapt into being good parents as- well.
2 weeks later the child's naming ceremony was celebrated outside. The young Duchess beamed proudly as she held her baby for all the people to see.
A few moments of words were said and then silence.
The heir to the Queenscove Dukedom gurgled.
Nealan of Queenscove.
