Editing Royalty (section)

== Overview ==
:''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].<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/05/11/6-15-k/ Chapter 6.15 K]</ref>

[Royalty] deemed legitimate by the Grand Design 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.
