'god save the king'
- king dies, heirs are not of age. maybe like? 14/15 years old,
the mother of the heirs is trying to protect them + the throne so they will be able to take it
when they are ready to--but the political climate is proving unfavorable.

- two other, prominent kingdoms. one with all male heirs, one with all female. both extrem
ely tenacious n ready to take the throne. will have their own loyal houses
and will b making banners n stuff.

- each kingdom worships a different god (some cases gods).

all kingdoms belong to the land of uatonia--a continent burdened by war ever since the crea
tion of man. of the five original cultures, three now reign supreme.



kingdom one the kingdom of droele
ruling title: king/queen of droele. ruler of the taesans. guardian of the eight.
region: eastern uatonia
ruling city: treoshire
royal house: charmant
• colors are red and gold. symbol is a phoenix.
house words 'from the ashes'
formerly led by a king and his queen. now led by a queen
and her sons and daughter.
noble houses: mercatel, aroix
• house mercatel's symbol is a greyhound
their house colors are eggplant and light brown.
• house aroix's symbol is a snake
their house symbols are black and white.
culture: taesan
• early taesans are known as barbarians. they were once skilled conquerors, but have since be
come quite tame in comparison. they have a deep love for the finer things in life.
their greedy taste for riches has led to the infestation of a thief subculture in brigand's cape.
language: common tongue
religion: the true eight
• the true eight are said to be the only gods worth worshiping. but this is highly controversial.
different versions include different gods, but the ones observed by the royal family are:
the father, the son, the daughter, the huntress, the lover, the hero, the berserker, + the weeper

kingdom two the kingdom of tulor
ruling title: king of tulor. ruler of the tulorians. warden of the west.
region: western uatonia
ruling city: gledmore
royal house: blackwood
• colors are black and forest green. symbol is an ibex.
house words 'deep, our roots'
led by a king and his three sons. their queen is rather qu
iet in military endeavors.
noble houses: dimier, petrova
• house dimier's symbol is a pair of stag antlers
their house colors are navy blue and silver (formerly white)
• house petrova's symbol is a hornet
their house colors are yellow and (unsurprisingly) black.
culture: first tulorian
• first tulorians, not to be confused with new tulorians, are traditionalists down to their very
core. they are rather ignorant when it comes to new ideas. so much so that they
practically wiped out new tulorians for attempting to introduce new religious beliefs + ideas.
language: tulorian
religion: old tulorian gods
• old tulorian gods are the true tulorian gods as far as the first tulorians are concerned. ther
es three of them--all brothers. all represent three vital parts of the forest: the tr
ees, the fauna, and the rivers.

kingdom three the kingdom of ricih
ruling title: queen of ricih. ruler of the nidal. daughter of the isles.
region: the venusian isles
ruling city: sreulset
royal house: meystrell

house words 'jewel of the sea'
led by a queen and her three daughters. there was never a
king--all have different fathers.
noble houses: the harpies, soulary
• the harpies are not a house, but are represented by an osprey
their colors are traditionally grey and black.
• house soulary's symbol is a crab
their colors are white, crimson, and pale yellow.
culture: nidal
• the nidals are said to have come from the east. they are expert sailors, and dominated the
venusian isles long before anyone else. they are a culture that favors women. the
y also do not take very kindly to 'mainlanders' and have a bunch of nasty nicknames for them.
language: common tongue
religion: the mother
• the mother was originally part of the eight--a fertility goddess. but was dismissed in newer
versions of the faith. the nidal still proudly put their faith in her wholeheartedly,
no matter how much other cultures deny her existence.

possible plot lines for 'god save the king':
- arranged marriage between house blackwood + meystrell to form a powerful alliance.
bride is kidnapped by brigand's cape thieves, orchestrated by house aroix,
but house charmant is blamed for it.
- tulor is known for keeping violent criminals. in the heat of warfare, house petrova (i.
e the house in charge of this prison) calls upon the help of a notable tulor
ian ravager. house dimier is quite angry with the news, as the ravager killed one of the
ir daughters.
- the ravager is new tulorian. i.e. they believe in tulor's war gods with an additional fo
urth god--the mountain god.
- the harpies lead a crusade in house meystrell's honor when new inhabited islands ar
e discovered.
- most of house meystrell stays with house blackwood to avoid another incident, inclu
ding the queen mother. the queen (the eldest daughter) stays, and leads
with the help of house soulary.
- house mercatel moves in towards the venusian isles. maybe conquers them while mos
t of the family is gone.

extra locations/information, 'god save the king'
- the wemm highlands--a mountain range that divides droele and tulor.
- madstone-- a tulorian prison located within the wemm highlands, atop izolare (isolation) peak, the
tallest peak in the range. it rises high above the rest.
- sligohr plateau-- positioned in north droele. a meadow on a plateau. a holy land according to the t
aesans. a temple was built here long ago--and is said to be where the eight reside.
commoners go here when they are in great need of the help of the gods. magic is also practiced her
e by high priests + priestesses.
- the harpies-- similar to the amazons. an all-female race of warriors that defend the outer islands o
f the venusian isles. graced + birthed by the mother herself, these girls are demi-gods
in their own right, and they are extremely loyal to the crown/house meystrell. lots of legends surro
unding them, especially outside of ricih--as other countries do not know much about them.
- new tulorian gods-- new tulorians observe the traditional brother gods, but also an additional fathe
r god, the mountain god.
- new tulorian ravagers-- most of the new tulorian race has been wiped out by the ancestors of hous
e dimier, but those that remain are known as ravagers. they live in south tulor where they
wreak havoc on travelers. house dimier, to this day, continues to keep them far from the capital.

if i end up doing set slots, some ideas:
- eldest son of house blackwood--promised to the middle daughter of house meystrell
- middle daughter of house meystrell. promised to the eldest son of house blackwood
in order to form an alliance. kidnapped when in route to tulor. house aroix
calls upon house mercatel to use black magic to change the princess' appearance. sh
e's practically hiding in plain sight.
- the eldest child of the deceased king. leads through their mother who will be a npc
- son of house dimier. has devoted his entire life to fighting ravagers. in hopes that h
e may one day kill them off + avenge his sister.
- daughter of house petrova. was once promised to house dimier, but tensions have b
roken things off. she's lowkey trying to weasel her way into
house blackwood instead.
- eldest daughter of house meystell. queen of ricih. took over the spot as her mother
grew older.
- head of house soulary. highkey has a thing for the middle meystrell daughter, was d
evestated to find out she was promised to house blackwood. never
thought much of the tulorians, but now lowkey thinks they're heathens and doesn't th
ink the princess will fit in much--especially since the mother is sup
er obsolete in their religion. is obviously super bias, and a little bit of a whiny baby.
- twins from house aroix. impulsive  . lead house aroix behind the
scenes, as their lord father is super old and delirious. always whispering in the ears o
f those with high ranks b/c they are literally snakes.
- house mercatel daughter. strategist. military official. no nonsense type with ties to
the church. firm believer in the eight, and their magic.
- newly appointed harpy leader with years of experience backing her. totally in love
with the queen.
- younger harpy apprentice. very naive. just wants to prove herself, but over compen
sates. a little on the annoying side but she means well.
