Royal Diary
With the permission of Empress Marana of the Floating Islands I have been able to translated the diary written by Emperor Tilbri I for human reader.
This first edition is in english. I also have gain her majesty's permission to have the texts translated into other human laguages. These editions are forthcoming*.
It has been a unique experience to be able to see into a piece of the history of an alien race and discover that beyond apperances we aren't that diverse. This is why I wanted to make these little stories avilable to my people in the promotion of tolerance.

The arangements have been made, I am to be the entawan of Princess Tamran. I, Tilbri, will ascend to the throne of the Floating Island.
Her name is very true and not only is her face beautiful, but so is her body. What I had seen of it when we first met. Tommorrow I would get a chance to see what it looks without her dress. Her Pahda said we were to begin our Days of Perperation then. I'm here in the finest guest room in the palace until then.
June 4, 1630
Our house is in a secluded spot in the forest near Nazomi. We are to get there by a carriage with covered windows. The common people are forbidden to see the royals. On the way there Tamran tryed to peak out into the streets. I managed to stop her. I do not nor do I want to know why see would even want to bother with looking at the commoners. Not to mention the risk of letting them see her.
By mid-day we were settled in the house and the month has begun and not to a good start. Tamran would not come near me most of the day. When we ate dinner she hardly said anything. It was like she hated me. How could she hate me? My blood is some of the finest on the island. We are a perfect pair.
Getting her in bed with me was more difficult that I imagined. I had to raise my voice for her to even come in the bed room. Eventually I got what I wanted. She was pretty good for a virgin. Nothing to play trumpets over, but, she'd do. Maybe my Tamran get better over the month.

Tamran infuriates me! It's already been a week and she barely spoken to me. We ARE supposed to be learning about each other. I suppose it does not matter much because things ae set. If she were not a princess I would walk out of this right now. Who would want to be married to such an impossible woman?!
June 29, 1630
Our Days of Preparation are near finished and Tamran has come around a little more. Even with that hope she has found a new way to annoy me lately. She sleeps most of the time! Wait... Oh! Vasah... I may have my heir sooner that I thought.

The pomp and curcumstance is done with. Before all that it was confirmed that Tamran is with child. I pray to Vasah for a son. She, for what reason I do not know, pray for him to have her colorings.
Even thought I am now a married man the ladies still chase after me. I supposed they hope to be my pitawan. One in particular has attracted my eye, Lady Zelshea (dark hair). Her blood is nearly as fine as mine. She is also a very beautiful and fashionable woman. I have never heard her, but I've been told she has a singing voice as lovly as a lollee.

The nights have become dull without a woman. Lady Zelshea looked so, so astonishing at the ball tonight. I think I shall compose a love letter to her.

I could sing praises so loud that Vasah, himself would heard. My letter was answered and she said that my eye went to her not by accident. I thought it slightly odd that she cared not that I was to become Emperor. Ah, well! I suppose my fine lineage and good looks were enough. She mention having feelings for me as a girl. Yes, I remember as I write, there was no hint that she would be this beautiful when I saw her then. I believe we olny saw each other once until now.
