RIP Florence Yarney, former King of Talossa

Florence was a giant of Talossan history, serving as king from 1987-1988 when she abdicated in favor of Ben Madison, who was king again until August 2005.

She actually died in 2022, but when I got a death-anniversary reminder for John Eiffler, I thought to see if anyone else had passed away.  The one I could find is Florence, and the photo in the above obituary matches that I remember from seeing her in Ben's Talossan videos at Ben's coronation in 1988.

From that video and from all accounts, she seemed exactly as the obituary says she was: possessed of a keen and flamboyant style of teaching and much-beloved by all who knew her.

RIP, Florence.  I wish all of us in Talossa (including I) could have known you.

The nacho-shaped province is named after her. May King Florence rest in peace.

She styled herself as "King" and seems to have been a remarkable person.  From everything I've heard and read, she only took the throne as a favor to Ben and was more than happy to give it back to him.
