Thanks so much, Hellen! It's lovely to see you over here! The whole story in the Lone Islands would involve Edmund dealing OCs -- yes as if I do not have enough of them. There's Morgan's brother, who is a very good sort, and her father, who is really an investment banker, Type A personality, and Alan and his mother (who is Morgan's aunt) and Princess Even More Dim appears because she's a client of Stanleh and is engaged to someone from Archenland who is represented by Linch. Stanleh is really not happy about this arrangement between Alan and Morgan and is prepared to do very uncivilized things -- which the Bankers just do not understand because really, it's all about money, right? And... errr.. stopping now.
