Her Majesty's Secret

A ship

Before departing on the ship, Her Majesty’s Secret, the Queen creates the Duchy of Appalachia and bestows the titles of Duke and Duchess of Appalachia to Angus and Mary. The newly created Duchy is a large grant of land within the mountains of the New World, to be explored and mapped when the group reaches their final destination.

During the long voyage to start their new life, the ship was set upon by fierce storms and even fiercer pirates. Fortunately, the Queen had outfitted Her Majesty’s Secret well, and stocked the holds with many weapons in anticipation of difficulty taming the new land. After almost 10 hard months at sea, the royal ship finally limped into a shallow cove, and the Duke and Duchess’ party gratefully set foot upon dry land again.
