#Lilian Leclerc

[pequenaotaku]

Hello again~

It’s been a while, hasn’t it?

(I have to confess that I’ve been stalling on getting back to writing and making my posts, but that’s not the point right now…)

Anyway, these are the Leclerc twins, my other precious girls. I ended up keeping the original base (Nina’s model, made by @candysweetposts), but I completely redid the design (I think the only physical thing I kept was the heterochromia, and even that seems like it went from water to wine).

Currently, the twins live in the center of Amoris, as roommates sharing an apartment. But they were born and raised in the countryside, with very traditional and strict parents. And despite that, or maybe because of it, they always attended schools in the city, no matter how long and exhausting the trips were every day. They definitely don’t miss that time at all.

Speaking of nostalgia though… High school was, without a doubt, a very impactful time in their minds, full of drama, discoveries, and teenage hormones. It was at the peak of her 16 years that Lilian discovered and accepted herself as a woman, and also fell in love for the first time. It was at the peak of her 16 years that Louise realized what she wanted to do for the rest of her life as the troublemaker she always was, though secretly.

Going back to the initial train of thought, the two moved back in together after Dante’s life was cut short by that tragic accident. Louise wanted to comfort her sister, to stay as close as possible to help her through her grieving period. Two years later, Lilian discovered, with frustration, that time doesn’t heal any pain, it only softens it. She’s generally doing well, has moved on like anyone else would have, had to piece herself back together, but she’s not thinking of finding someone else to love anytime soon; she still occasionally sees ghosts from the past. They continue to live together because they’ve gotten used to each other’s presence again—it’s fun and makes things lighter.

Lilian Leclerc

She is 30 years old.

She is exactly 7 minutes and 38 seconds older.

She pursues a career as an interior designer at a company that emerged in the field a few years ago called Essence Intérieure (EI).

She is a transgender woman.

She realized she was trans after a prank that happened in high school. It was a themed event where boys had to dress as girls and girls had to dress as boys. In other words, crossdressing. It was something really silly and simple, but after the party, alone in her room while looking at herself in the mirror with a pretty wig and some clothes borrowed from her sister, things started to make sense.

Because they were very traditional, it was a mess when her parents accidentally found out—almost like a war. Louise, who had already talked to her sister after catching her posing in front of the mirror, fought in Lilian’s defense. The two even ran away from home for a week, hiding out in an abandoned building nearby until they were found and dragged back home. Their father, Anton, was so devastated by their disappearance that he realized what was more important, and it didn’t take long for him to try to approach, understand, and accept her, fortunately. Lurdette, their mother, still insists on calling her by her deadname, though. Even though it’s hard to endure, she followed her father’s advice to ignore these slights to avoid big fights until both of them were old enough to leave home properly. In the end, she knows it could have been much worse.

She has a more peaceful, sweeter personality. Sometimes, she spends too much time lost in her own little world, but she’s very dedicated, persistent, and has a good touch with people.

She’s always had a melancholic look, whether before or after her mourning. At the same time, her heterochromia always gave her a different kind of glow. Dante used to call her Lys Stellaire, or Stellar Lily, because it seemed like her eyes held the cold beauty of sideral space, and that was the first thing he fell in love with.

She loves soft, light colors like baby pink and baby blue, egg-yolk yellow, but mostly white.

She does gardening in her free time; in fact, she’s not sure if she loves the flowers or the bees more.

Speaking of animals, when Dante was killed, one of her concerns was who would take care of his two pets, Nova and Nebula. At the time, the couple lived together, so she was already used to the two snakes, although she wasn’t the one responsible for feeding them, cleaning the terrarium, helping with shedding, etc. She had never had much courage for that, being afraid of getting bitten even though she knew they were tame and non-venomous. However, after what happened, she forced herself to learn everything she needed to be a good caretaker. She was sure that if Colette, her sister-in-law, became the new caretaker, she’d do a good job too, but she didn’t want the snakes to go through the stress of a new routine. Honestly, she has no idea how a snake’s emotional state works, or even if they have one, but she likes to think that every now and then, they wonder where their dad is and miss him.

As mentioned before, Lilian and Colette grew much closer after the tragedy. Colette really sees her as an older sister. She makes a point of visiting her practically every weekend, and they always have video calls to gossip about the strange customers she’s dealt with at the record store. Very specific, I know.

Louise Leclerc

She is 30 years old.

She is exactly 7 minutes and 38 seconds younger.

She works doing odd jobs, mostly as a hobby, because she loves trying new things. She’s been a pizza delivery girl, an aspiring doll stylist, a waterslide tester, a fortune cookie writer, a Zumba teacher, a skydiving instructor, and many other exotic jobs like that. But in reality, she’s an ethical hacker by passion. She works within the law, as strange or curious as that might seem. She basically mitigates company vulnerabilities, investigates incidents, and develops secure software for computer systems, networks, and applications. A bit of boring office work sometimes—why not?

Unlike her sister, she has a more chaotic and bold personality, always trying out new things. She’s extroverted, communicative, and often quarrelsome.

She loves dressing in things that reference the '80s for some reason. Brighter colors, exaggerated accessories, a much more extravagant fashion, but adapted to modern times. She even likes to say that those who criticize '80s fashion lack a distinctive artistic sense.

She loves summer, loves organizing trips to the beach with the most important people in her life, and enjoys building sandcastles.

She drives a Beetle.

She’s a very free-spirited person and has had several flings, but no serious relationships in recent years. She’s quite happy with that, for now.

She would love to have a dog, specifically a Labrador, but unfortunately, she’s allergic to animal fur.

Out of curiosity, here is the prototype of the twins before the renovation as a bonus.

Chasing Cars - Charles Leclerc

Charles Leclerc x Fem!FBI Agent!reader x Criminal Minds

Mentioned Cast: Criminal Minds Cast (Aaron Hotchner, Emily Prentiss, Jennifer Jareau/JJ, Spencer Reid, Derek Morgan)

Word Count: 2086

Warning: mention of guns, m*rder word, sh**ting, AND THIS IS MY FIRST TIME SO BEAR WITH ME🫶🏻

Location: Los Angeles (Made up location)

Summary: as a Supervisory Special Agent, your team have been assigned to a murder case which involved street robberies… but then Charles Leclerc comes into action. (Inspired by a CCTV footage of Charles chasing down his watch thieves.”

Abbreviation: UnSub (Unknows Subject- The criminals), B.A.U (Behavioral Analysis Unit)

----------

You put a black sunglasses as you get out of the airport. You and the rest of the Behavioral Analysis Unit Team split into two different SUVs as you, Reid, and Hotch go straight to the LAPD office while Derek, Emily, and JJ go to the crime scene. The case the B.A.U team is working on is about some murder that took place in Malibu with stealing expensive watches as the modus operandi. We believe that the UnSub is more than one person.

All the victims were found in the alleys and all of them have lost their expensive watches. The B.A.U team came to the conclusion that the victims had fought back the UnSub but instead got murdered in the middle of the fight.

Your team arrived at the LAPD office 5 minutes later. The LAPD has set up the office for your team. Hotch, Reid and you directly setting up the files and the map. Reid spent another minute doing the geographic profiling as you and Hotch talked to Sergeant Reyes about the evidence.

Hotch’s phone rings and it shows Garcia’s name on the screen. Penelope Garcia is our tech analysis. She’s doing her job back at our office in Quantico.

“Yes, Garcia. You’re on speaker.” Hotch says, his eyes still fixed on the victim’s pictures.

“I got the brand name of those expensive watches. Rolex and Richard Mille, they only stole these two brands.” She says as her typing sounds got faster. “The UnSub let go of 2 victims who wore another brand.”

“Do you have the name of those 2 victims?” You ask her.

“Of course, Honey. Their names are Jacob Rhodes and Lilian Harris. I’ve sent their addresses to your phone. Ciao!”

With that information, Hotch calls Derek to go to those addresses and talk to the victims.

—

“Fuck!” You mutter under your breath as you try to control the steering wheels. You end up in this situation because Hotch asked you and Emily to watch the UnSub when Garcia sent the address of their whereabouts to the team. Your team have two UnSubs who match the profile. Greg Finn and Tyler Brendan.

You and Emily wait for them silently and patiently inside the car, until a man gets out of his car in front of the UnSubs. The UnSubs seem to know the man because they ask for something. You frown, thinking about the worst thing about the man being their leader or something, but then they hold up their phone to take a selfie with the man. What? Is that man a celebrity?

You try to look closely, but you just can’t see the face clearly. You’re not that far from them but they’re facing the opposite direction which makes it harder to see the man’s face. They seem good for a while until everything turns into chaos when the thieves run to their car as the man shouts at them.

“Merde! My watch!” He shouts while he abruptly gets into his car, trying to get ahold of the thieves car.

You and Emily are trailing behind him and my god! He is fast. “Watch out!” Emily yells.

“Fuck!” You mutter under your breath as you try to control the steering wheels. “How is he driving so fast?”

“Girl, he’s driving a Ferrari. Of course he is fast.” Emily replies, as it is so obvious.

“Damn! We need to get one so we can be fast when catching the criminals.” You joke, trying to ease up the situation. Emily laughs, agreeing with you before she calls Derek to let him know where the UnSub is heading.

“I’m ready at the end of the road, bring them here Y/N.” Derek says through the speaker.

“Copy that.” You reply. “Their victim is chasing them too. It seems like they tried to ask for a selfie then stole the watch and ran afterwards.”

“There was no fight?” Now Hotch turns to ask through the speaker, “They just ran?”

“Yes, they just ran.” Emily answers him. “We’re close. Do you guys see them?”

“Alright. We’re gonna cut him from here.” Derek says then turn off the call.

“Wait the man’s car didn’t know Derek is gonna cut them off, he’s on high speed with a fucking Ferrari.” Realisation hits you as you think of the worst thing that will happen if he didn’t slow down.

“Damn it! You’re right.” Emily cursed, “I’m putting on the siren. Can you drive faster?”

“I’m trying. Might as well be an F1 driver after this case, though.” You groan, trying to drive faster so you can get to the man’s car. You’re not a big fan of driving this fast so you feel your hands are sweating. It makes you grip the steering wheels harder so you don’t slip.

Finally you’re trailing right behind the man. You try to overtake him but he’s driving like a freaking pro F1 driver. Fuck it! “Emily, turn off the siren and shout at him. I’ll try to get as close as possible. This man thinks he’s in F1 and doesn’t let me overtake.”

Emily does as you said. She turns off the siren then puts herself over the car window. “SIR. I’M SSA EMILY PRENTISS FROM FBI AND I ORDER YOU TO SLOW DOWN.” Emily shouts as loud as possible and you hope he hears him.

Thankfully, he heard her and slowed down his car so you finally can drive right beside him. You gesture your hand to ask him to roll down his window.

“Charles Leclerc?” You’re surprised and not surprised. Surprised because you never thought of seeing your favourite F1 driver here and not surprised because like you said, he’s driving like a pro F1 driver and my god, of course he drives a Ferrari.

You’ve always been a F1 fan but the job makes it hard to catch up with the races and the driver. Sure, he is your favourite but you don’t even know what type of Ferrari he drives daily. You rarely watch F1 races ever since you joined the B.A.U team 3 years ago. The day you get to watch it was on your phone while you were writing your report at the office.

“They stole my watch.” He says. My god his accent! You always love his accent.

“My team will cut him off. That’s why we ask you to slow down. Now I’m gonna go first and you need to trail behind me. Don’t overtake me because it would be dangerous as you’re their target.” You explain to him.

He nods, “Okay, Agent.”

“Y/N!! Is that Charles Leclerc? Your favourite F1 driver that you and Hotch talked about a lot?” Emily smiles, she can’t hide her excitement for you. She knows how much you idolised Charles.

“Yes. Oh my god, why should we meet in this situation? So chaotic.” You groan.

“Girl, are you kidding? This is the best situation. He might become your fan after this.” Emily says.

You roll your eyes, “Being my fan, my ass! I’m not that cool .”

“C’mon! You and I know that we’re really good at this job and we’re badass. How can he not become a fan after seeing you catching some criminals?”

You shrug, “I don’t wanna be delusional.”

As Emily would talk again, she got cut off by the scene in front of us.  There are Hotch and Derek pointing guns at the UnSubs while the UnSubs do the same. The LAPD officer also surrounded them with their guns pointing at them. They can’t go anywhere.

“Shit! They’re armed.” You cursed, then quickly parked the car. You and Emily get out of the car with your gun pointing at the UnSubs. One of them knows you’re there so now he’s pointing the gun at you and Emily. It’s Tyler.

“We both know this is useless. Lower your gun!” You demand, but they don't seem to be affected by you. “I said lower your gun!”

“Agent.” Charles calls you. Shit! You nearly forgot that he was there behind your car.

“Step back, Charles.” You say to him but your eyes don’t move from the UnSub. You can see Hotch look at Charles but quickly divert his attention back to the Unsub.

“We just need this watch.” Tyler says, “we don’t wanna cause any trouble.”

“You think we don’t know that you murdered those victims after you stole their watch?” Derek says to them.

Greg gulps. His face turns pale after hearing that information. Bold of them to assume that your team don’t know what they did.

“Just get down and we’ll talk more at the office.” Hotch says calmly, try to make the situation as safe as possible so nobody gets hurt and the UnSubs go to the custody alive. “We want to know more about you.”

Tyler seems to think about it. You knew from Garcia that Tyler is the submissive and Greg is the Dominant. So in this situation, Tyler is more likely to surrender. When Greg sees Tyler thinking about it, his instinct of flight or fight got the best of him as he knows they can’t flight, he points his gun to Charles, his finger is ready to fire the gun. But before he can do anything, you quickly shoot him right in the chest. Greg’s blood splatter to Tyler as he screams and puts down his gun.

Derek quickly gets Tyler and puts a handcuff on him while Hotch checks Greg’s heartbeat. He looks at me then shakes his head. It means Greg is dead.

You and Emily let out a sigh of relief. It was a clean shot and a clean take down even though one of the UnSub is dead. So you see it as a successful take down and glad it is over.

“I believe there’s someone who wants to talk to you.” Emily whispers to you.

You see Charles walking towards me with a smirk on his face. “I didn’t know an FBI agent could know my name.”

You chuckle, “My boss is a big fan of yours. Of course I know your name.”

“How about you?” Charles asks, furrowing his perfect brow.

“Me? How about me?” You ask him, confused about what he means.

“Are you a fan, too?” He asks me. His eyes fixed on yours.

“She’s a huge fan. A total tifosi but never had time to watch a full race because of the job.” Emily chimes. You guess she can’t take your bullshit anymore because she knows you probably say no.

Charles smiles. His dimples showing as he does it. Oh, how cute! “Glad to know a brave, badass FBI agent is a tifosi.”

“Not a big deal.” You mumble. “Alright, I’m a huge fan then what?”

“Then I would like to ask you to come to the paddock on Sunday. I have a race here.”

“Huh? Me? I—”

“She’ll come. I’ll make sure of it.” Emily says with a huge smile on her face. “She’s got VIP Access then?”

“Of course. I’ll arrange the VIP’s for the FBI Team. I’d be happy if you all want to come. This is the least I can do as a thank you for saving my life tonight.”

“You don’t have to do that. We’re just doing our job.” You stated, trying so hard not to scream yes when he said about the VIP thing.

Charles smirks and without saying anything to you, he walks to Hotch and Derek. He shakes their hands then talks to them a bit then looks at you with a big smile. 

“Your boss says yes.” He says when he is in front of you. “I’ll see you in the paddock.”

You smile, shaking your head. “Nice one, though”

He winks at you. HE FREAKING WINKS!! “I need your number for the VIP information.”

Trying so hard to control your scream, you give him your name card. He takes it with a smile then reads it. Oh stop smiling! Your heart can’t take his smile anymore. He’s too cute.

“Alright then, see you in the paddock Supervisory Special Agent Y/N Y/L/N”

Whoa can't believe I made it here haha. please let me know what you think.

Ciao ciao.

All the love.

Woensdag 25 september 2019 Lilian slaapt, dus ik neem nu de honneurs waar.

Vanmorgen vroeg, nog in bed, zei Lilian; “we gaan vanmorgen in het park ontbijten. In het park zit nog een soort botanische tuin en daar staan bankjes.” Helemaal goed om dat te doen, weer eens wat anders. Had ik niet zo gauw aan gedacht…gelukkig doet zij dat wel!

Dus eerst naar de oude stad een broodje halen en ook wat lekkers erbij…nou, dat is er genoeg. We namen een soort appelslof met nootjes, een met zoiets als een tompouce gevulde croissant en een rond en plat ‘croissantje’ met honing. Terug naar het park en een bankje tot ontbijtplek gemaakt. Lekkers om te eten, jam, kaasjes en salami met een thermoskan heet water voor de thee. En om ons heen kwam de stad op gang. Dat was best wel een aparte ervaring. Een heel goed idee van mijn lief!

Bij de camper aangekomen alles rijklaar gemaakt en op weg naar…dat was even kiezen. Ergens rond Perpignan een paar dagen op een camping is ook wel even lekker. Niet elke dag km’s vreten, zeg maar. Gaan we doen. Zoeken naar een geschikte camping die…nog open is! Om deze tijd gaan er een hoop dicht voor het seizoen. Lilian had er 1 gevonden; La Clapère onder een klein plaatsje Maureillas-las-Illas, voor mij niet onbekend daar was ik al eens geweest. Gelegen midden in de natuur, maar niet te ver van de doorgaande wegen. Gaan we proberen. We konden op de site niet echt iets vinden over de openingstijden, dus maar de gok genomen. Was toch niet zo ver rijden.

Op weg van Gerona richting de camping kwamen we langs Figueres. Daar was ik al eens geweest een 100 jaar geleden. Daar is een Dali museum. Ik vind het 1 van de leukste musea die ik gezien heb. OK, dat zijn er niet veel, maar toch… Het museum is aan de buitenkant ook al heel bijzonder; qua kleur, stijl, ontwerp en decoraties (grote eieren op het dak). Het museum gevonden en Lilian vond - alleen al de buitenkant - heel mooi en bijzonder. Naar binnen gaan was geen optie, de wachttijd was zeker al wel een paar uur, gezien het aantal auto’s en bussen. En de Dameshond mogen niet mee… Dus weer door richting La Clapère.

Komen we ook nog door Le Perthus, een soort belastingvrije enclave op de grens van Spanje en Frankrijk voor met name alles wat niet goed is voor een mens (maar wel lekker!); drank, roken, chocolade, etc. En een drukte…, geweldig om al mensen te zien in een wat smoezelige omgeving gedomineerd door vrachtwagens en -chauffeurs op zoek naar voordeel en ‘plezier’…als u begrijpt wat ik bedoel!

We rijden verder over prachtige kleine landweggetjes naar La Clapère om bij aankomst een uitgestorven boel aan te treffen…we zijn te laat. Ze gaan 30 september echt dicht, maar nu was het ook al klaar. Dus op zoek naar een volgende lokatie…Dat wordt Camping du Lac in Vinca, vlak bij Prades en ook bij Ceret. En Ceret, daar ben ik ook al eens geweest ( 2 x zelfs) op de zaterdagmarkt, die is geweldig leuk! Dus dan doen we de camping 2 nachten en dan vrijdagavond ergens in de buurt van Ceret overnachten, zijn we vroeg op de markt…plan klaar! En deze camping is ook nog open, zo staat bij de informatie.

Maar eerst nog even wat voedsel inslaan voor een paar dagen overleven op een camping, zonder boodschappen te hoeven doen, anders dan alleen een baquetje. Dus de Leclerc in Perpignan in de navigatie gezet. Eventjes doorrijden en we ‘landen’ in Perpignan bij LeClerc. De camper kon in de schaduw staan, dus we hadden tijd om even ontspannen winkelen. De camper werd niet te warm door de zon, die was vandaag ook niet zo krachtig aanwezig of helemaal niet. Na de nodige patè, kaasjes en drinken weer door naar Camping du Lac.

Dat was een ritje van zo’n 30 min. Dus dat stelt niet zo veel voor. Bij aankomst werden we vriendelijk ontvangen en we mochten 1 van de beste plekjes uitzoeken aan het meer (zijn bijna geen gasten meer, dus volop plek). Dat meer is voor de Dameshond helemaal fijn…water! Er is een klein dorpje dichtbij, dus we kunnen ons baquetje lopend of op de fiets halen. Hier kunnen we ons wel een paar dagen vermaken. Vandaag was er wel veel wind toen we aankwamen, nu is het bijna windstil en de temperatuur wordt morgen 28 graden. Nix mis mee.

Toen de camping verkend. Er staan huisjes en stacaravans, naast de gebruikelijke caravans en campers. Maar er staan ook soort van ‘bubble’ tenten, met een geheel doorzichtig dak. Je slaapt dus onder de - bijna - blote hemel. Ook is er veel te zien in de natuur. Lilian heeft al een Eucalyptusboom ontdekt en een paar mooie zwammen.

Na de wandeling de patè en kaasjes van LeClerc getest. Die hebben ze goed doorstaan. Daar genieten we allebei van; gewoon een lekker stukje hardgebakken brood en beetje patè of kaas. Kopje thee erbij en het is genieten. Zeker ook op zo’n plekje aan een meer.

Al met al best wel een volle dag. Dus na het eten heb ik een douch gepakt en Lilian ging ‘eventjes’ liggen…haha. Nu is ze weer wakker geworden, zo 22:30 uur. Als ik klaar ben met typen gaat zij er nog naar kijken. Of alles op volgorde staat, we hebben nogal wisselende plannen en acties ondernomen vandaag…haha. Lilian heeft alles doorgenomen en haar akkoord gegeven, mooi! Dan kan deze er ook uit.

Zo, morgen een beetje een rustdag. Wel een wasje draaien en eten koken en zo, maar geen km’s maken. De blog morgen zal ook wel een ‘rustige’ worden…Dus voor de lezers; ook voor jullie even ontspanning!

Pierre Fresnay and Ginette Leclerc in Le Corbeau (Henri-Georges Clouzot, 1943) Cast: Pierre Fresnay, Ginette Leclerc, Micheline Francey, Héléna Manson, Jeanne Fusier-Gir, Sylvie, Liliane Maigné, Pierre Larquey, Noël Roquevert, Bernard Lancret, Antoine Balpêtré, Jean Brochard. Screenplay: Louis Chavance, Henri-Georges Clouzot. Cinematography: Nicolas Hayer. Set decoration: Andrej Andrejew. Film editing: Marguerite Beaugé. Music: Tony Aubin. No film that has something to offend everyone can be all bad, right? Henri-Georges Clouzot's Le Corbeau was made during the German occupation of France, and it managed to alienate both the Vichy regime and the Resistance, and even to be banned after the liberation. To be sure, it's a somewhat unpleasant film, a psychological thriller in which almost everyone is something of a rotter. But at the time, it was subjected to suspicion of being a kind of allegory of the situation in which France's towns found themselves, to be an attack on informing on one's fellow citizens and an undermining of the morale of the populace. Someone in the unnamed village where the film takes place is sending anonymous poison-pen letters to everyone else, exposing the secrets and sins of the townspeople, but especially aiming at Dr. Rémy Germain (Pierre Fresnay), a fairly recent arrival to the town, accusing him of being an illegal abortionist. The letters are signed "Le Corbeau," the crow (or if you prefer an allusion to Edgar Allan Poe, the raven). Germain himself is not an altogether likable character: He's a bit crabby and he's carrying on an affair with the beautiful wife (Micheline Francey) of the local psychiatrist, Dr. Vorzet (Pierre Larquey), a much older man, and with Denise Saillens (Ginette Leclerc), who sometimes fakes illness to get Germain's attention. The vicious letters cause an uproar, in the middle of which a young man commits suicide. Uncovering the identity of Le Corbeau becomes a pursuit that is doomed not to end well. Clouzot's skill as a director, abetted by cinematographer Nicolas Hayer's manipulation of light and shadow, makes all of this unpleasantness watchable, but it's easy to see why it got under people's skin.

A Masterlist of Underused French Names

So as a French person, I grew a little bit tired of seeing the same old French names over and over again. So under the cut is a list of 260 (185 first names and 105 surnames) underused French names, based on my experience, with the bolded ones being my favorites! And now don’t get me wrong, many of those names are not strictly French, and are in other languages too. But just know they are used in French too, so they can be used for your French character if needed. And there are obviously a lot of other names you can go for!

Karlemon’s Lands: Valarre

The Kingdom of Valarre, ruled by King Alberic II of House Karolin, is a heavily fielded and mountainous land nestled in between Tylia and Fallsund on the Osirian coast. Having borne the brunt of elvish invasion during the War of Tears, the land for years was heavily garrisoned with King Karlemon’s troops, starting a martial tradition that continues to this day. The kingdom is governed firmly but fairly by the Karolins, and though some think the extinct rival house of Deucalion to have been the better lords, almost everyone has prospered under King Alberic's astute management of the realm's coffers. 

The six large cities are ruled by the counts and the three cantons by the barons, all of whom are sworn to House Karolin, which rules from the Chateau Royale in Martillac.

Population: circa 4 million (81% human, 7% dwarf, 5% halfling, 4% elf, 1% goliath, 1% half-orc, 1% tiefling)

Capital City: Martillac (ruled by House Karolin)

Other cities: Harcourt (ruled by House Cartier), Montbeliard (ruled by House Dumont), Grerault (ruled by House Delafosse), Anlec (ruled by House Hastein) and Touville (ruled by House Sartre). 

Cantons: Courzon (House Leclerc), Marnberg (House Sylvestre) and Thurgovin (House Etiennne)

Religion: Lydian Polytheism (85%), Church of the Four Virtues (13%), other religions (2%).

***

The chronicles of the Kingdom of Valarre detail the foundation of the country by three tribes; the Volcoii, the Tirsene and the Ulmini, who after bitter civil war were united under the Segolatar dynasty circa 680 EE by the legendary king Aedan I, otherwise known as ‘The Boar-King’. 

Travelling north from Cosima in the days following the flooding of the Ynen Valley, the Segolatar subdued the lands surrounding the Verley Highlands to the western end of Valarre, becoming known as vicious mercenary conquerors until the reign of Hervé II Segolatar. This monarch seemingly ruled directed by his dreams and visions, leading him to abandon that legacy and adopt the name Guyony, meaning ‘austere’.

The early reigns of the Guyony would be counted by many as the golden age of Valarre, with the legacies of Morganne Le Bal and Gilduin III being counted amongst the most prosperous ever had by the nation. However, following the suspicious death of the boy-king Monulph I, the fortunes of the Guyony began to wane. The Guyony would rule from the now lost citadel of Ebronante for two centuries before its decline and the moving of the capital to Martillac some forty miles away.

The period after immigration to Martillac was fraught with violence and unrest, invasion by orcish hosts and Tylian mercenaries being the greatest threats to the kingdom. The instability of Guyony rule was to be the dynasty’s downfall when in 364 CE the Chateau Royale, home of the royal family, was stormed by the rebellious troops of Countess Gwanaelle Manchec of Harcourt. All those inside were put to the sword and Queen Gwanaelle I would assume the throne. 

The House of Manchec only survived two monarchs, Gwanaelle and her son Sigeric, before being deposed by families loyal to the Guyony, who then installed Huguelin I Deucalion as king in his ancestral seat of Anlec. The Deucalions ruled most of Valarre east of the River Alard, but couldn’t secure their holdings and the western counts ruled their own fiefs as brief unstable kingdoms until the invasion of the elves during the War of Tears.

From a tryst with Gisla Deucalion during the Winter Offensive, Karlemon bore a son called Arnould, who would take up a contested kingship of eastern Valarre upon his majority. Karlemon’s daughter Albreda would rule western Valarre from Martillac as the first countess of House Karolin. The dynastic rivalry and dispute would end in the Salting of the Roots in 1257, where with the help of the Orsini, the descendants of Karlemon’s son Simone, the Karolins brought low House Deucalion and have ruled uncontested for just under fifty years.

Vrijdag 20 september 2019

Vandaag verlaten we de camping aan de oever van de Dordogne. Het was een goeie camping, Heerlijk uitgerust (zeg maar geluierd). Alles ingepakt, opgeruimd en ingeklapt. Voor het vertrek is er heel wat te checken. Als je het wil weten…:

VOORAF:

oliepeil van de motor checken

ruitensproeiervloeistof checken (dooie insecten op de voorruit zijn  niet te tellen…)

voldoende schoon (drink)water mee

toiletcassette leeg

vuilwatertank leeg

snoer van de elektra van de camping losgekoppeld en opgeruimd

BIJ VERTREK: buiten

9 luikjes aan de buitenkant checken

satellietschotel ingeklapt

alle ramen dicht en vergrendeld

fietsen nog stevig vast

stabilisatiepootjes van de camper ingedraaid

luifel vergrendeld

alle ramen dicht en vergrendeld

alle bovenluiken dicht en vergrendeld

binnen

20 laden en deurtjes dicht en vergrendeld

deur van de douchecabine vergrendeld

koelkast op 12 volt

e-box uit (regelt alle elektronica in de camper voor het woongedeelte)

alle op te laden apparatuur aangesloten

trapje van de voordeur ingeklapt

En niet onbelangrijk; iedereen binnen (neuzen tellen…haha). Maar vandaag eerst de dameshond op het sport- en spelterrein van de camping uitgelaten. Alles klaargemaakt voor vertrek en weg. Bij de uitgang van de camping het afval weggebracht en Lilian heeft een baquetje bij de boulanger gehaald. Rijden maar, naar Lourdes binnendoor. Wie weet wat voor leuke plaatsjes we tegen komen Het ontbijt werd gegeten eten rond lunchtijd…zo’n 12;30 uur. Wel op een mooi plekje; langs de rivier de ‘Lot’. Hondjes konden daar ook weer even rondsnuffelen. Verder naar Auch. Plaatsje ligt ca. halverwege Lourdes. We wilden daar naar de supermarkt LeClerc  en naar de Decathlon voor een jas om de honden uit te laten bij regenachtig en koud weer. We hadden een mooie gezien, maar die was in Nederland uitverkocht. Dus aan de slag en rijden maar! Bij Leclerc de noodzakelijke (water, groente, aardappels, zwarte bessen sap) en lekkere (paté, kaasjes, Lindt ballen,…) aangeschaft. Ernaast lag een Decathlon. De jas was prima, alleen de kleur…beige…dat was een beetje jammer. Dus: dan niet. We hadden de camper naast de winkel in de schaduw staan, dus de dames lagen heerlijk te slapen toen wij terug kwamen. Heel fijn dat de dameshond even alleen in de camper kunnen blijven! Voor Lourdes nog even wat gegeten. We konden de kaasjes en paté’s niet langer weerstaan. Op een P bij een Bricolage (soort Gamma), de camper geparkeerd in de schaduw, en een beetje achteraf op de parkeerplaats. De dames konden daar even rondrennen en snuffelen. Het was al tegen 6’en dus de ‘kudde” gelijk maar eten gegeven. Wij gingen tenslotte ook van alles lekkers opsmullen. Nog even een camperplek gekozen op de app van Campercontact en vertrokken. Naarmate we dichter bij Lourdes kwamen, werden de Pyreneeën ook steeds meer zichtbaar. We waren blij een wat meer ‘ruig’ landschap binnen te rijden. Bij binnenkomst van Lourdes zag Lilian een LeClerc, das op zich niet bijzonder in Frankrijk, maar er stonden wat campers. Daar kunnen wij dan ook staan en is niet zo ver van de attracties; de grot en bijhorende kerk is maar 23 min. lopen. Hup, even gekeerd bij een rotonde en de camper onder een schaduwrijke boom geparkeerd. Klaar! Morgen gaan we naar de grot en de kerk. Vanavond gaan we naar het centrum van Lourdes lopen. Nou, dat centrum is niet echt een feestje. Het maakt een wat verpauperde indruk en alle voertuigen geven een constante aanwezigheid van herrie en de stank van uitlaatgassen. Het is een tragisch dorp. Zonder de legende van Bernadette is er niets wat deze plek te bieden heeft. Het dorp lijkt te denken; “we hebben Bernadette” en de rest ‘lift’ daar wel op mee… Kortom; in onze ogen een trieste bedoeling. Zonder Bernadette is eer geen enkele reden deze plek te willen bezoeken…volgens ons dan. We hebben ons getroost met een cocktail voor Lilian en een Heineken voor John, op enige afstand van de N21 die door het dorpje raast. Dan weer terug gelopen en nu ligt iedereen te slapen; de dameshond zijn kapot van het 2 x 35 minuten lopen naar- en van het centrum, Lilian heeft veel jeuk aan haar benen en voeten van de allergisch reactie op de penicilline (nodig na een wortelkanaalbehandeling), en ik (John) zit me hier weer uit de naad te werken voor het blog…haha. Morgen gaan we dus naar de grot waar Maria  verschenen is aan Bernadette en de kerk genaamd; Heiligdom van Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van Lourdes…kan niet wachten…wel interessant om te zien. Maar we beginnen de dag met een baquetje en paté en/of kaas en een lekkere bak thee! We moeten het nog even samen besluiten, maar mogelijk is het een mooie route om door de Pyreneeën naar Andorra te gaan. note: tekst is nu volledig voor rekening van John…de rest slaapt!
