Of Green and Gold is an ongoing roleplay, started in 2022, by Tretrid. It chronicles the history of Tretrid from shortly before the collapse of the Volscine Confederation to the end of Æthelwine Heardesunu's term as League of Novaris Secretary-General in 2022 while following the careers and personal lives of Heardesunu and Eoforwine Æthelstanesunu.
In April 2023, Tretrid posted the final part of Of Green and Gold's prologue.
Plot
Prologue
The story opens with Æthelwine Heardesunu delivering his opening address to the Novaran Council on July 5, 2021. He condemns Tretrid and Volscina for their roles in the Correvan crisis. He states that he feels the need to do this especially because of his previous high-level role in the Tretridian government. In response, at the direction of Tretrdian Foreign Minister Sæwine Wealdmundsunu and Prime Minister Eoforwine Æthelstanesunu, Tretridian Ambassador-at-Large to Novaris Beorhtsige Wulfricesunu delivers a statement at the following press conference denying the allegations made by Heardesunu and calls his ability to execute his duties as Secretary-General. Wulfricesunu also delivers a formal diplomatic complaint to Heardesunu for his speech.
At the end of the day, Heardesunu discusses the day's events with his wife, Cuðþryð Wynstansdohter, and they resolve to face whatever would happen next, starting with explaining their actions to their children, Ceolswið Æthelwinesdohter and Eadwine Æthelwinesunu. Meanwhile, Æthelstanesunu reflects on Heardesunu's betrayal in solitude, eventually deciding that some secrets simply needed to be kept.
