This was a session in the Best of Both Worlds (BBW) "world-traveling campaign" ran on 2019 Jan. 21.

Raxin 45 (Restingday)/Simpís 45 (Nudia): Don Miguel Amorando was elevated by Rei Geraldo VI to Duque Miguel Fulmando, Duke of the City of Fulmando, upon condition that he marry Duquesa Dulce Fulmando, which he accepted as a formality.  This elevation took place in the courtyard of the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Millisymph.
Duque Miguel Fulmando then married Duquesa Dulce Fulmando inside the Imperial Palace as planned.  Dulce's father Rei Geraldo VI was present although her mother Reina Beatriz had passed away many years earlier.  Geraldo's second wife Princesa Romana Luisa and his third wife Princesa Marisol de San Marino attended.  Other members of the family by birth order and their mother were the royal heir Príncipe Avano (Romana), Conde Jaxemo Escarlato (Romana), Conde Vasquez (Marisol), Conde Pancho de San Marino (Marisol), and Condesa Sierra Milspar (Marisol).
Geraldo VI was dressed in royal garb of primarily blue and white although he had his heavy ceremonial crown removed half way through the ceremony and replaced by a more comfortable circlet.  Miguel wore a black suit appropriate to a duke with his coronet, while Dulce wore a beautiful but full white wedding gown with a duchess coronet.  Hundreds of people attended, many of them staying outside because there wasn't enough room inside.
While many of the inside guests were what would be expected, others included Dulce's rescuers (in addition to Duque Miguel).  These were Don Normando de San Miguel of the Orden de Oldonia to whom Miguel had been squire, Normando's squire Escudero Kevano Barros, Duque Miguel's squire Escudero Nartino de Santa Rafaela, and Journeyman Magus Norina la Escribana who was Nartino's sister.
During the reception, Sierra, age 5, pestered her father Rei Geraldo VI that she wanted to be a elevated duque too.  She did not understand that she was a condesa (female countess) and couldn't be a duque (male duke).  When it was explained to her, she wanted to be a duquesa like Dulce and have her own city.  She wanted the City of Mermaids (Milspar).  When it was explained that a condesa could oversee a city, she said she wanted that then.  Or she could cry.  Her father the king, who had been drinking overmuch and feeling exasperated with his youngest daughter sitting on his lap pouting, said offhandedly, "Very well.  We hereby proclaim you to be Condesa Sierra Milspar, Countess of the City of Milspar.  Now go play with your brothers or something."
Unfortunately, the proclamation of the drunken king was overheard by some officials and some members of the populace, and was thus official.  Milspar was one of the four largest cities of the nation of Millisymph.  Sierra was the youngest child of six; by standing tradition, the four largest cities were go to four of her elder full- or half-siblings.  This created a major political dilemma.  Sierra then announced she was marrying her brother Pancho.  Fortunately, the young girl had no political authority to make such a declaration, so that at least could be ignored.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 01 21)
Gondovard 40 (Hammering)/Bastillís 40 (Quadia): Grandmaster Ocshan el Alquimista, Guildmaster of Los alquimistas del ratón morado (Alchemists of the Purple Mouse) of Fulmando, Millisymph, died of unpublicized causes. (Best of Both Worlds 2019 01 21B)
Gondovard 43 (Reckoning)/Bastillís 43 (Sidia): Grandmaster Karian the Glum was named Guildmaster of Los alquimistas del ratón morado (Alchemists of the Purple Mouse) of Fulmando, Millisymph. (Best of Both Worlds 2019 01 21B)
=== 1739 ===
Flowering 8 (Lordsday)/Gillihís 8 (Odía): The girl Hectora was born to Duquesa Dulce Fulmando and her husband Duque Miguel Fulmando. The midwife was Teresita la Partera while Mistress Magus Mojarósa and Warrior-Priestess Yaritza la Abridora also attended. Dame Yepia de Palma and her Squire Tawny Salazar were honor guards. There was some quiet discussion as to whether the birth was premature or had been magically accelerated. Coincidentally, the birth had occurred six Trynsern/Lamadien months after Dulce first met Miguel, which was the typical human gestation period.

Heris/Scotís: Grandmaster Alchemist Donghai Ping, his wife Donghai Xiang, and their son Donghai Chang moved from Fulmando, Millisymph, to Trynser City, Empire of Trynser. (Best of Both Worlds 2019 01 21B)
