Royalty

From The Wandering Inn Wiki

Royalty in Innworld consists of several powerful classes.

Overview[edit | edit source]

This article deals with royalty, not the "lower" nobility - for higher classes like [Queens] see Royalty.

[Monarch] is apparently the moniker for a whole group of classes; a more broad term is [Ruler] which would also include non-royal forms of rulership. The classes can have mostly unique specializations (see the listed persons for each continent, above).

The more generalized overview is like this: A [Queen] or [King] is a souvereign ruler of their respective country/nation. Their children become [Princes] or [Princesses] and thus may inherit the ruler class upon the death of their parent(s). Until then, they are successors. Prince-dom may also be acquired via adoption into the royal family, or lost when they are disowned/disinherited.

As of yet, it is not clear whether [Emperors] or [Empresses] follow the same rules: while seemingly more grandiose, three of the two known holders of [Emperor] class are conquerors/usurpers. As their power appears to be similar to that of [Kings] and [Queens], they are listed below just like them.

Moreover, there's also the class [Tyrant].[1]

[Royalty] deemed legitimate by the System governing classes and levels, has some sway over the classes of other people and may appoint special classes to worthy individuals that are better than the base class. Classes like [Steward] or [Royal Guardian] may be the result. This is, like nobilitation, an act of will of the legitimate [Royal] themselves, and usually done only sparingly and with great delibaration.

Ranking[edit | edit source]

Royalty usually makes up the government in a Kingdom. Continents where no tradition of Kingdoms has so far been shown in the story are Izril (ruled mostly by Human and Drake nobility, with Laken of the Unseen Empire as the only newly emerged irregularity) and Baleros (ruled by mercenary companies).

Terandria[edit | edit source]

(see: Nobility#Terandrian System for details on the lineage system and "lower" noble ranks)

In Terandria, it is possible that a [King] is overthrown by a [Duke] (for example) who then inherits their rule by rule of conquest/rebellion. That is apparently a human concept that other races may not share, especially the Drakes and Minotaurs, who are respectively concerned with a lawful or honorful approach to government.[2]

So far, the following monarchies and their royalty have appeared in the story:

Chandrar[edit | edit source]

Royalty in Chandrar is far more disparate than in Terandria. So far, the following [Monarchs] have appeared:

Rhir[edit | edit source]

The Blighted Kingdom is one of two rather special kingdoms on Rhir. Since Othius IV, the Blighted King, is assisted by powerful temporal magic to remain in power, little is known about the technicalities of his rule. He is married to the Blighted Queen (a former adventurer, who appears to be a consort-[Queen] without the right of inheritance) and currently has two young daughters, crown [Princess] Isodore and her sister Erille.

On the other hand, the Demon King rules over the Demon Kingdom, and even less is known about him. Demons are not officially recognized as a foreign power all over Innworld. Serinpotva is also the [Empress] of the harpies, but her authority is greatly reduced as her empire is gone.

Originating from Rhir are also the Antinium, who are ruled by their Queens (recently exiled into Izril). So far, the following Queens of the Antinium are known:

Izril[edit | edit source]

Before Laken Godart became [Emperor], there hadn't been any royalty on Izril in a thousand years. The Harpies used to have an empire when they still lived on the continent. Sheta was their last [Empress].

Baleros[edit | edit source]

Baleros may have various nations and governments, including monarchies, but it is considered that the Mercenary Companies are the real powers of the continent instead. The following [Monarchs] have appeared:

Others[edit | edit source]

The current Minotaur King of the House of Minos is Inreza, [Virtuous King, Arm of Giants].

The Drath Archipelago is ruled by an [Emperor].

The First Dragonlord of Dawn, Raendersolis, once declared himself Dragonking. It's implied to have been greatly contested by the rest of dragonkind.[11]

The Goblin King is considered the leader of all goblin-kind. (see page for more info)

Oberon is the king of the Fae. Three versions of King Arthur also reside in his realm.

Abilities and Skills[edit | edit source]

According to royal knowledge, there is a substantial difference in the power level between "mere" nobles and actual royals: [Princesses] or [Princes] get more powerful levels than mere [Lords], and a level 30 [King] would equal a level 60 [Major] (which is not even a noble class).[12] As stated above, royalty is able to asigne special classes, and a [Monarch] can remove an unwanted class form another.
