I think at the gathering would be more dramatic. Tallan and Oleander could maybe start some drama by questioning everything in public? Or mostly Tallan since it's his spot, but Oleander follows his regardless. But maybe Oleander isn't removed as a royal guard until a few days later, so he still obeys the new heir?

That works! And we did decide the prophecy wouldn't be revealed until later on, correct? I think once we get to that point, Tallan and Olenader could be moving to a different part of the surrounding area as tensions continue to rise. They come across, say a tavern, and some sort of 'fortune teller' discovers them. They get told something of an older heir, rightful king, etc and then later they realize what the dude was tlaking about. They could send someone or themselves honestly to one of the kingdom's libraries while trying to remain hidden? They look for anything that may correlate between the prophecy and Tallan?

Yes that all sounds good to me. :) Who should start?

If you'd like to start you definitely can. I have to go to bed shortly but if you'd prefer I do, I can tomorrow :)

i'll go ahead and start working on mine then!

Sounds good !
