All Hail The Emperor of Baurne,
the mendacious little git.
I had a lot of fun creating this character so it was great to finally get to use him in the novel. So much fun that I didn't even realize it had been a whole week since I last blogged. Whoops.
Baurne is an Empire that somewhat borders my MC's home of Imbriul. If I ever get this series published, you'll see on the map what I mean by "somewhat." Suffice it to say that even though both political entities are HUGE by medieval standards and thus have borders of many hundreds of miles, they only abut along a short stretch of their respective borders. At any rate, Baurne's Emperor is a 15 year old twit of a boy who is a habitual liar and has actually created a post wherein the person who fills that post is responsible to keep track of who he told what lie to. As you can see, I'm having a lot of fun -- not only with the Emperor himself, but also with the poor guy who keeps track of all the lies. I haven't come up with a name for the post itself, though, so in my manuscript it simply says "lie-tracker" but I definitely don't want to leave it at that.
