How do you feel about Snowfall being queen? She's quite young, isn't she?
03. A:
Snowfall is definitely rather young..
Truth be told, I am not sure how I feel about our newest Queen. She seems rather brash, having called her kingdom to war almost immediately after the death of Queen Glacier. However, I can see how the death of one’s mother can influence your sense of rationality. While she has been ruling for many months now, almost none of her actions as Queen have really had much of an effect on myself or the dragons I know.
Honestly, all that she’s done that has mattered much to me was an increase in taxes on all items sold within city limits to fund the Queen’s funeral. No dragon outside the circles were even allowed to attend, allthough none of them paid a single coin for the event. Me and a few other common icewings attempted to attend, we even brought gifts for the grieving, but we were shunned away by the castle guards. They took the gifts we’d brought and claimed they’d be delivered to the grieving, but I firmly believe they simply kept them for themselves.
Glacier was a wonderful Queen, and it felt like she cared about all her subjects, royal or not. She opened public schools and taught new teachers in the palace and paid them with royal coins, she kept taxes low despite the war so that all her subjects could survive, she even passed a few anti discrimination laws to protect icewings who didn’t fit the ‘proper’ icewing model. I am still on the fence about her daughter, though I hope Snowfall can live up to her mother’s name. She’s probably got a long time to try anyways.
