As the celebrations drew to a close, the delegations bid farewell to their hosts, promising to return soon and strengthen the bonds between their kingdoms. And as they made their way back to their respective homelands, they carried with them the hope of a brighter and more prosperous future for all. As the delegations from starfell and Valoria departed from Roshar, a sense of excitement and anticipation filled the air. The leaders of the three kingdoms recognized the potential for a new era of cooperation and prosperity in their region, and they were determined to seize the opportunity.
The Return to starfell:
Back in the kingdom of starfell, Lady Elara wasted no time in reporting back to King Eldor on her visit to Roshar. She spoke of the grand celebrations, the impressive transformation of the kingdom, and the warmth and hospitality of King Auron and his people.
King Eldor listened intently, his mind already turning to the possibilities that lay ahead. "It seems that Roshar's transformation has brought about more than just a change in status," he remarked. "It has opened the door to a new era of cooperation and friendship between our kingdoms."
Lady Elara nodded in agreement. "Indeed, Your Majesty. I believe that now is the time to forge closer ties with Roshar and to work together for the betterment of our region."
The king smiled, his eyes alight with determination. "Then let us waste no time. Send word to King Auron that we wish to establish an alliance between our kingdoms. I will extend an invitation for him to visit starfell so that we may discuss the details in person."
Lady Elara bowed respectfully. "It shall be done, Your Majesty."
The Invitation to Valoria:
In the kingdom of Valoria, Lord Marcus wasted no time in reporting back to King Valon on his visit to Roshar. He spoke of the grand celebrations, the impressive transformation of the kingdom, and the strength and determination of King Auron and his people.
King Valon listened intently, his mind already turning to the potential benefits of forming an alliance with Roshar. "It seems that Roshar's transformation has not gone unnoticed by our neighbors," he remarked. "We must act quickly to ensure that we are not left behind."
Lord Marcus nodded in agreement. "Indeed, Your Majesty. I believe that now is the time to reach out to King Auron and propose an alliance between our kingdoms. Together, we can create a powerful coalition that will bring peace and prosperity to our region."
The king smiled, his eyes shining with excitement. "Then let us waste no time. Send word to King Auron that we wish to establish an alliance between our kingdoms. I will extend an invitation for him to visit Valoria so that we may discuss the details in person."
Lord Marcus bowed respectfully. "It shall be done, Your Majesty."
The Alliance Summit:
Several weeks later, King Auron of Roshar arrived in starfell, accompanied by a delegation of his finest knights, diplomats, and advisors. He was greeted with great fanfare and ushered into the grand hall of the royal palace, where King Eldor and Lady Elara awaited him.
"Welcome, King Auron," King Eldor said, his voice filled with warmth and hospitality. "We are honored by your presence."
King Auron bowed respectfully. "Thank you, King Eldor. It is a pleasure to be here."
The two kings sat down together, flanked by their respective advisors, to discuss the details of the proposed alliance. They spoke of trade agreements, military cooperation, and mutual defense pacts, laying the groundwork for a powerful coalition that would bring stability and prosperity to their region.
Meanwhile, in Valoria, King Auron was welcomed with equal pomp and ceremony by King Valon and Lord Marcus. The three leaders sat down together to discuss the details of the proposed alliance, exchanging ideas and making plans for the future.
After several days of intense negotiations, the terms of the alliance were finally agreed upon, and the leaders of Roshar, starfell, and Valoria signed a formal treaty, pledging to support and defend each other in times of need and to work together for the betterment of their region.
With the alliance firmly established and the region experiencing a newfound era of peace and prosperity, King Auron of Roshar turned his attention to the next phase of his kingdom's development. Gathering his councilors in the ancient library of the royal palace, he opened an old tome, its pages yellowed with age, and began to read from the sacred texts.
"My esteemed councilors," King Auron began, his voice carrying the weight of authority, "the ancient texts speak of the greatness that awaits a 4-star kingdom. It is our duty to ensure that Roshar reaches its full potential, and so I propose that we follow the wisdom of our ancestors and begin construction on a new city."
The councilors listened intently, their faces serious and attentive.
"It is written in the ancient texts that every 4-star kingdom must have one royal city and main cities," King Auron continued. "And so, I propose that we build a new main city, to be located next to our existing royal city, Roshara."
The councilors exchanged glances, considering the king's proposal.
"It is a bold plan, Your Majesty," one of them said finally. "But if executed properly, it could bring great benefits to our kingdom."
King Auron nodded, his eyes shining with determination. "Indeed. A new city would not only increase our influence and power in the region but also provide opportunities for growth and prosperity for our people."
The councilors set to work immediately, consulting the ancient texts for guidance and drawing up plans for the new city. They considered potential locations and consulted with architects, engineers, and city planners, taking into account factors such as geography, natural resources, and transportation networks.
After much deliberation, they settled on a site just east of the existing royal city, Roshara, where the land was fertile and the natural resources abundant. The area was also strategically located near major trade routes, making it an ideal location for a new city.
Construction began soon after, with workers and artisans from across the kingdom flocking to the site to lend their expertise. The new city would be a marvel of ancient engineering, with grand boulevards, towering structures, and sprawling parks and gardens.
The councilors spared no expense in ensuring that the new city would be a fitting complement to the existing royal city, Roshara. They consulted the ancient texts for inspiration, drawing on the wisdom of their ancestors to design and build the city's most important landmarks, including a grand palace for the king, a majestic cathedral, and a bustling marketplace.
As the city began to take shape, King Auron and his councilors looked on with pride, knowing that they were fulfilling the prophecy of the ancient texts and laying the foundations for a brighter and more prosperous future for their kingdom. But they also knew that building a new city was no easy task, and that they would face many challenges along the way.
There were logistical challenges to overcome, such as transporting materials to the construction site and coordinating the efforts of thousands of workers and craftsmen. There were also political challenges, as rival factions vied for control of the city's lucrative trade routes and valuable resources.
