A suggestion:

If we are in April game time and June RL time, perhaps we could skip forward in two-weekly bursts.

So, we finish up the day at court and jump two weeks ahead. Then 'thinking back' scenes could perhaps be done to show people settling in to their new roles. Here only a few posts would be needed, and Leof could tell Eodwine about his secret (if Firefoot's plan works along those lines) and we could have the introduction of Nogrod and Lommy's characters.

After this we could skip ahead another two weeks and have Nogrod and Lommy's characters interacting with people, simply assuming that they have made their introductions already. Perhaps here Leof could make up with Adhel and Saeryn, Eodwine and Degas can have their conversation about Eodwine's intentions, now that things have calmed down a bit.

That should bring the timelines a little closer without damaging anyones storylines too much, though there would still have to be some compromise.

Jenny - I assume the basic storyline of AiE is that Linduial is freed (whether via rescue or escape I don't know as I've not seen the thread) and returns to the Mead Hall. Therefore for the first section of this time jumping she would presumably be recovering from her ordeal, so you could post her thoughts of being trapped in a comfy room rather than a cell but still trapped or something along those lines, and Marenil's thoughts on looking after her. By the second jump she would be up and about again, and you will be further on in the other thread and will have more of an idea of how she will be afterwards.

What does everyone think?
