1783: Your Roleplay Story
Characters
Bonjour,
I am Viscountess Una Conan from Leon, formally Madam D'Qat, now married to Viscount Thornelius Conan, an army captain, and military man, also from Leon. My early days in France were spent establishing a small farming estate with the blessings of my parents given I entered this venture under the protection of a close family friend who was my estate Steward.
On a trip to Italy I became acquainted with the lovely town of Rocca Sorrentina and its welcoming and friendly residents. I eventually acquired a small villa there, taking refuge from the chaotic goings on of the French court, which sometimes reached beyond the court itself. Thankfully it did not much involve me or my family, but there seemed a disturbing possibility that could change in the future. It worried me.
After some time, the Viscount and I decided to give up the farm, let my Steward return home, and called Italy our second home. I enjoyed the quiet and gentle life in the small Italian town, especially when the Viscount was away on military business. We were in Rocca Sorrentina when the terrifying earthquake took us all by terrible surprise. We fled with the townsfolk. He and I went back to the safety of France. Happily though, we can now again visit our friends who have settled in their new home in northern Italy.
Perhaps we will again spend a little more time in France. Perhaps even, when there, I will find a suitable quiet pastime to occupy myself when the Viscount is away.
