My sixteenth birthday is in about two and a half months. On my world, most people of royal and noble class marry when they're that age, and most of those marriages are arranged at least a year or so before that. As it stands, I'm already falling behind everyone else; no matter how much parents may want their son to marry the Fire Lord, they're not going to wait around forever. Whenever I do go back, I'll be stuck with someone that was unwanted by all the others for some reason-- because his family has a shameful history, or because he's a pervert, or because he's thirty years older than me. The Fire Lord will be given the last pick.

Things aren't supposed to be this backwards.

OOC: Marginally related to this.

The Fire Nation is hardly in turmoil. I'm simply speaking of my own involvement in this-- those who don't know the situation might actually think that I'm never coming back, or even that I'm dead.

Is there any way to broadcast a message to them, without revealing your location?

My location is known, actually-- by my father, at least. But that can't be helped.

We don't have this sort of technology on my world. I'm sure I could figure out a way to get my message across, but I don't want to cause undue chaos at the moment.
