George III: Difference between revisions

In [[1774]], King George III received the last mammoth in [[Europe]] as a gift from [[Catherine II]] of [[Russia]] and [[December]] of that year it was to have been part of the Royal hunt. Following the end of the [[Second War in Heaven]] this mammoth was vital to the last surviving members of [[Faction Paradox]] and other interested parties since it was considered a relic which would act as a focal point around which history would be shaped. The ritual of the hunt itself was to determine who would control the future. The focus of the hunt however shifted to the last of the [[Mayakai]]. ([[FP]]: ''[[Political Animals]]'')

:''At this time there were still numerous contradictions following the [[Second War in Heaven]] and it is likely that at least some part of these events may have changed. Like the war itself, it is possible for one in a thousand to remember what had occurred in a collapsed timeline.''

Most people in later times regarded the story of the king receiving a mammoth as just part of a larger tradition of strange rumours that circulated about high society, particularly about the more dubious members of the aristocracy. In [[1782]], during a night of drinking with the [[Eighth Doctor]], [[Scarlette]] claimed that she had once ridden George III's mammoth. ([[EDA]]: ''[[The Adventuress of Henrietta Street]]'')
