Day 0 [August 23rd-September 2nd]: Pregame Correspondence

The events of the few weeks prior to Richard I's coronation were momentous. King Henry II was betrayed by his surviving sons, including his favorite, John, then died of what was widely believed to be a broken heart after capitulating to Richard. The Crusade is imminent. Eleanor of Aquitaine has been released from prison and has been accepting oaths of fealty on her son's behalf. Geoffrey Ridel, Bishop of Ely and former Chancellor of the Kingdom of England, died very suddenly (and very conveniently) in Normandy.

All of this launched a firestorm of communication, not all of it treasonous.

Your characters are welcome to correspond with other PCs, named NPCs, and other historical figures living at the time (with some right on my part to decline). Because of the speed of the Lionheart's return to England, all correspondence is limited to 3 exchanges. Events will simply overtake anything more than that, and final replies will not reach the recipient before the coronation.
