Kennex Diplomacy
Posted by Puffin on 09/10/19
There was a time when the phrase "Kennex Diplomacy" was the punchline to a dismal joke. But these days that has really changed. Kennex sails forth and the word is that they have Abandoned willingly bending the knee to them. That the stability of Kennex is the talk of the Abandoned tribes on islands near Stormward. And with Aethan and Ian, Jan and Evander, Octavia and Zoey and friends like Gwenna, Dion, Evaristo, Quintin, Valenzo, Iseulet, Gesa, Galen, Marisol, Evonleigh, Asriel and Wren? While the Mourning Isles are a hotbed of unrest and disorder, Kennex is actually increasing their extremely orderly lands. People outside the Isles nod, pleased with themselves and say - "this is what happens when people work with the Compact." People within the Mourning Isles? Well - Progressives want to know the secret to their success. Traditionalists are largely silent and brooding - but they glower at the Kennex family and their success, because as long as the Kennex experiment seems to be working it does take a bit of wind out of Traditionalist sails, so they're quick to resort to bluster about 'loss of heritage' and such to fill those sails right back up. Overall though, Kennex is growing into a sea of peace and prosperity in the Isles.
