Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day

[bigdamnprincipal]

Whoever worked the weather magic around here had done an excellent job to make sure things were nice outside for all the new (and old) residents of Fandom. It was warm and sunny, but not so humid that people would melt. There was plenty of moddable food and drinks, places to sit in the shade, and more than enough nametags to go around. It was time to celebrate the start of the summer!

"Well, from the name alone it sounds lovely," Lana said. "What sorts of splendors?"

Oh god, Lana. You weren't going to move from this spot for a while as he espoused the virtues of this home town.

"From the bustling markets to the illustrious halls of the masked lords, never will you find a better place to visit or reside. There is even a tavern within the city that leads to a millennia old dungeon for any adventurers brave or foolhardy enough to venture forth into. The amount of history and culture available for those who wish to find it... ah. I already miss her beautiful mornings with the sun coming in across the water."

Lana smiled. "It does sound lovely. We do have the sun over the water in mornings, but unfortunately only sewers below the city. Who are the masked lords?" The idea sounded familiar.

"The masked lords!" Gale said in the tone of an oncoming info dump. "You see, the idea was that the ruling body would consist of the Open Lord who would be known by all and the Masked Lords who could be anyone and therefore would be free of corruption or bribery. The reality, however..."

"If nobody knows who you are, you're free to take bribes and be as corrupt as you like, whether you are a lord or you simply tell people you are?" Lana guessed.

"Very clever! And the anonymity is less absolute than the founders of the system might have expected," Gale added.

Lana nodded. "Sentients are the same everywhere. Although I suppose they get points for trying. Many of the lords where I'm from wear masks, but it's more for either the intimidation factor, or as life support, or both. I don't know any of them that have done it for the anonymity."

Though if Darth Marr had taken off his armor and gone to the local cantina, who would have known?
