A Song of Ice and Fitz
The Story So Far
In December of last year,
Alexander I was crowned
King of Fitzeros and the
Huntingdon Isles,
promising to listen to his
subjects and change their
lives for the better. He
was to be supported in
this endeavour by a stellar
small council, comprised
of: Lord Damiano, Hand
of the King; Lord
Maximilian, Master of
Coin; Lady Eleanor,
Grand Maester; Lady
Zoe, Master of
Whisperers; Lady Isla
and Lord Jake, Masters of
Healing; Lady Sophie,
Master of Ships; Lady
Cait, Master of Laws;
Lady Fenella, Master of
Festivities; and each of
their sub-committees.
Nine months later, the
gestation period is over
and a new Fitzeros has
been born. We’ve had a
hearty debate about
CUSU affiliation,
acquired table football
and free pool, set up an
awesome new website,
organised a shadowing
scheme, put on oodles of
events for welfare,
entertainment and ethical
affairs, and generally
made college life more
glorious than ever before.
#InCicaleWeTrust
Fitzeros Population
Surges
In the past week, Fitzeros
has experienced an influx
of new citizens from
around the globe. Over a
hundred people have
relocated to behind the
city’s concrete walls,
drawn by the promise of
high quality teaching and
free pool, in what experts
say is fast becoming an
annual trend.
Always keen to welcome
new citizens, the small
council has put all efforts
into organising a
multitude of events to
make the newcomers feel
at home—an initiative
headed by Lady Fenella
and her Festivities
Committee. New
Fitzerosians have been
taken on a tour of the
local taverns, given a
showcase of the city’s
musical talents and have
even been invited to
attend one of our famous
Grand Banquets, where
the mead flows freely and
music is provided by the
finest bards from across
the land. Sources say that
it went pretty well.
Got something to say to
the small council? A
burning question or a
cool suggestion? Feel
free to get in touch via
our website at fitzjcr.com
or contact us directly at
our JCR email addresses,
which can also be found
on the website.
Otherwise, we have
regular open meetings at
which we discuss a
variety of college-wide
matters. You are welcome
to attend these and will
receive an email with the
agenda every time one’s
coming up.
