The Regalian Government is the vast judicial, bureaucratic and executive apparatus that runs the Regalian Empire, and the Regalian Commonwealth at large. The Regalian Empire is, surface and population wise, the largest Empire known on Aloria proper, while also maintaining the largest known government system to run the entire Empire into the smallest detail. The New Model Government was initially founded by Cedromar I, and an altered version was retained by Alexander I upon his resuccession to the throne. The Regalian Government features so called Curias, meaning Courts in Proto-Regalian. These Curias have authority and power within their own jurisdiction, and are all integral parts that make up the greater whole of the the Regalian Government. A spreadsheet is available with Government numbers in Logistics and Finances [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-CnnFYCZTSwVld47FDY_2SgjqsbVC4qpC4JxcwmMBHg/edit?usp=sharing here]

<!--#################################### Curia Cordis ##############################################-->
The term “knight” comes from the Alt-Regalian “Knecht” which loosely translates to bondsman or vassal. Presumably, the word dates back to the old Ceardian “kniucht” which loosely translates to superior warrior. In the days of the old Ceardian Humans, proto-knights were the warlords who ruled smaller fiefs and waged wars on one another in a period that is generally viewed as Humanity’s forgotten age. When the states formed, or the Regalian Kingdom more specifically, these warriors became distinguished titleholders who ruled in the King’s stead much like how the nobility does in the present day. Eventually, Julian de Montverrat fought on behalf of the Five Families, using his military skills to seize the city gates which ultimately ended the Rebellion. This is when Knight became synonymous with ‘trained warrior’, and the first of the Knightly Military Orders were established. The term chivalry comes from the Ithanian word “chevalerie” which can be translated as horse soldier. Before Ithanian pacifism became prevalent, Ithanians cultivated the most talented horse riders. Owning a horse usually implied one’s wealth, and with wealth one was expected to distinguish themselves from the peasantry by courteous and honorable behavior.

The Curia Cordis is the central body of the Regalian Empire and the Imperial Seat. Most positions inside the Curia Cordis are not attainable for anyone but the Royal Family of Regalia, though some favorite positions are open to those who are able to climb the ranks of the Emperor's close favorites. These positions are generally described as some of the most prestigious positions in the entire Empire, because they are certainly the closest to the Crown's favor.
The School of Viridian is commonly believed to be the oldest Knightly Order and therefore the grandfather of all other Orders. The School started during the rule of the First Emperor of Regalia, Theomar, but was rocked by controversy and even an attempt to overthrow the Empire’s rulers in 122 AC. Since then, the Order was strictly reformed time and time again to become what it is today. While the Viridian Order suffered numerous severe member losses during the Ranger Crisis, the Anahera Dictatorship and the Lo Occupation, the Order still exists, with its membership recovering strongly due to the support of the Regalian Emperor, who has taken measures to see the prestige of the First Knights maintained in the Empire.

The Crown is the undisputed head of the Regalian Empire and of the Unionist faith. The Crown must always be a descendant of Emperor Theomar the first, and must always be male. Due to the elective inheritance act of 304 AC, the heir must also be chosen by the previous Emperor through an election process called the Tahn which involves a theological debate between the Crown and the Supreme Reverend on the matter of necessity.

The School of Villiers-Eclaire is a school that is relatively new and based out of the island of Basta, in the Regalian Archipelago. The Villiers-Eclaire School was largely made to provide the Sancella of Unionism with a failsafe in case the more freely moving Lancyon Halberdiers would prove too disloyal to the Sancella, and also to counter the less religiously-minded other Knightly Orders. The School of Villiers-Eclaire is largely funded and supported by the de Gosselin family, many of whose members are also high ranking Elders in the order. It should as such come as no surprise that many of the Villiers Knights serve in the de Gosselin’s personal retinue and military forces, and accompanied Duke Florent I’s attempt to seize Ithania. While criticized by the other military orders for their heavily political agenda, the Order continues to remain an example of the Unionist Faith, fighting on behalf of the Synod to spread the faith.

The Undercrown by Crown consent, can rule as regency over the Crown, and where necessary, be granted executive power to rule parts of the Empire in the Crown’s stead. This position is currently elective and appointed directly by the Emperor, but rules with equal authority in non-religious matters as the Emperor does.

The School of the Great Oak is a Knightly school in Drixagh, founded by the Höglander who believed that the northern wilds should not be purged, but instead encouraged with elegance and a knightly code of honor, tempering the rage and uncontrolled vigor of the Velheimer people and the School of Skaggers into a more structured and organized society. Their answer to trying to lead by example was to create the Knightly Order of the Great Oak, a chapter house that finds its home in the North, with small knightly champion lodges dotted in the territory. These lodges are frequently much smaller than the great lodges, and the Knights of the Great Oak are frequently ridiculed or cast out by the Skagger loyal population as being traitors to the free will of the Velheimers. Unfortunately, the Great Oak knights are also pariahs among the other Knightly Orders, who all believe that the Great Oak’s code of Honor is far too watered down and betrays some core principles of the concept of Honor. However, this was a conscious decision taken by the first Knights of this Order to give it appeal to the Velheimer people and to fit within their culture. Nevertheless, they are still known as the most formidable hunters of great beasts in the Empire, leading them to be a must-have on any dangerous adventures.

The Crown Prince is, in comparison to the Emperor, practically equal in terms of power to the Emperor, except that the Crown Prince does not have any religious authority, not being the vessel of the Imperial Spirit. The Crown Prince is elective, meaning the Emperor may choose to appoint any of the Princes of Regalia.

The School of the Lion Pelt is considered the heaviest armored and damage dealing Knightly Order, favoring the use of the Beorl Axe and removing the use of shielding aside from the heavy armor that is worn by the Lion Pelt Knights. Lion Pelt Knights are, unsurprisingly, easily recognized by the Ularen Lion pelt they wear, including a taxidermy head rested on the shoulder. The fur of the Lion Pelt is either dyed white or of a natural white, combined with a white semi-cape and brilliantly polished armor. Lion Pelt Knights are often considered the most well dressed male Knights as they look both imposing and classy, even reminiscing the image conjured of Altalar Lancers of the Allorn Empire. Lion Pelt Knights don’t often go to war or show presence at major battlefields. Instead, they can be found as bodyguards or Life Guards of important political figures and liege lords alike, not necessarily serving just nobility, but also wealthy clientele with coin to spare for their fearsome combat skills.
The Princes are formally part of the succession line of the Crown, meaning this is a list of all eligible heirs to the throne at any given time. Preference is always given to the Crown Prince, after who all other Princes receive numerical titles to identify their importance to the elective succession.

The School of Darkwald is a relatively unknown and likely the smallest Order in existence in terms of members. Darkwald Knights rarely if ever actually leave their homeland of Tirgunn, a dark and forested island off the coastline of Osteiermark in the Regalian Archipelago. The Darkwald Knights are often mistaken for the Tirgunn Hunters, who serve much the same purpose, dress the same, but have a different fighting style. While often thought of as only Vampire Hunters, the Darkwald Knights in fact fight against all they consider to be enemies of the Tirgunn lands, alongside the New Regalian Culture of their leader.

The School of Bloodcast is a bit of an odd duck in the Knightly Orders because it does not have an Honor Code. The Bloodcast Knights were a splinter movement created after the failed coup initiated by a few Viridian Knights. The first few Bloodcast Knights believed that the restricting code of Honor put on them was causing them to be suffocated in pomp and duty, and lowered their effectiveness and their charitable work among the poor. They were also disgusted with the splendor of the Viridian Knights, who were frequently known to sacrifice hordes of poor levies on battlefields for favorable positioning, only to then come out as the heroes for their minimal effort. As such, the Bloodcast Knights have no restrictions and rules, roam wherever they please, and serve what they consider the greater good, which is usually justice, authority, charity, and kindness.

The Curia Militum is the highest military court of the Regalian Empire, covering all Admirals and Generals which field armies and navies. Armies controlled by Generals and Admirals in this army are Called Mark Armies and Mark Armadas. They each have an individual theme (and technical geographical area of authority) but freely move around by commands of their leaders. Generals and Admirals only take their orders from the Undercrown and Emperor, but in absence of orders, can operate on their own initiative. Curia Militum members cannot be fired by anyone but the Emperor, while appointments can happen through either the Emperor or Undercrown. The Emperor may add as many positions for Generals or Admirals as is deemed necessary.

The Curia Regis is the civilian government of the Empire, a culmination of the Ministers and the Bureaucracy that run the various sectors of the Empire as a whole, both internally and externally. Ministers are always subservient to the Undercrown and Emperor, and can be fired and hired by both. Additionally, either Emperor or Undercrown can create new positions, or grant additional positions. Each Ministerial position allows appointment of up to 3 individuals, while the Undercrown can dictate how authority is shared or split between the three Ministers. Currently the Undercrown has defined Authority within the Curia Regis as such: Each Ministry will hold a Head Minister, shadowed by two junior Ministers. Junior Ministers will be given the same amount of access to the Undercrown, along with the ability to (when all Junior Ministers agree unanimously) veto the Head Minister, if they deem this fitting. (Exceptions made, to this rule, on a Ministry by Ministry basis.)

The Curia Sanchelle is a semi-government organization mostly based from inside the Sanchelle of Unionism. These positions are held in the leadership of the State Church, but are not necessarily held only by Clergy, meaning anyone even a commoner or a military noble could in theory hold these offices.

==Additional Rights==
Some ranks have special rights that are not immediately expressed in the Government positions above. Generally speaking, no rank has law immunity anymore, like was the case in old systems. These often conflicting law situations only caused unnecessary confusion, and as such, all law immunity is gone across the board. Additionally, no positions grant special weapon or armor rights unless specifically specified. Armor and weapon rights are purely granted by the Charter rights to avoid conflicting paperwork and confusion over who grants what. If any individual seeks to have armor or weapon rights, they should endeavor to form or join an existing Charter with said rights. Below follows a list of special offices with special rights:
* '''Emperor of Regalia:''' The Emperor of Regalia is immune to all laws and has access to everything, anything and any action.
* '''Undercrown of Regalia:''' The Undercrown of Regalia is immune to all State and Military Laws and has access to everything, anything and any action not limited by Canon or Imperial Law.
* '''Crown Prince of Regalia:''' The Crown Prince of Regalia is immune to all laws and has access to everything, anything and any action.
* '''Princes of Regalia:''' The Princes of Regalia are immune to State Laws only.
* '''Crown Familiaris:''' Regalian Guards are expected to show leniency to Familiaris, but this is not a law requirement, yet a cultural consideration.
* '''Imperial Consorts:''' Imperial Consorts become untouchable, meaning none but the Emperor may physically touch them and to do so is to spoil the Emperor's property. Imperial Consorts that are pregnant are the bearers of the Spirit's Offspring and must be treated as if an extension of the Emperor while pregnant, while the individual that bears the title of Prime Consort (out of all Consorts) is immune to all State Laws.
* '''Imperial Guards:''' Imperial Guards are always immune to all Laws and have access to anything and anywhere at any time, as they are under a strict protocol from the Court.
* '''All Other Positions:''' Regalian Guards are expected to show some leniency towards State Law violations of all other individuals in Government Positions. That being said, this is merely a cultural consideration and not a State Law, so Guards have the discretion to ignore this protocol. All other Imperial, Canon and Military laws are fully in effect for everyone.
* '''All Curia Militum Positions:''' Have full free weapon and armor wearing/use in Regalia.

The Regalian Government is the vast judicial, bureaucratic and executive apparatus that runs the Regalian Empire, and the Regalian Commonwealth at large. The Regalian Empire is, surface and population wise, the largest Empire known on Aloria proper, while also maintaining the largest known government system to run the entire Empire into the smallest detail. The New Model Government was initially founded by Cedromar I, and an altered version was retained by Alexander I upon his resuccession to the throne. The Regalian Government features so called Curias, meaning Courts in Proto-Regalian. These Curias have authority and power within their own jurisdiction, and are all integral parts that make up the greater whole of the the Regalian Government. A spreadsheet is available with Government numbers in Logistics and Finances here

The Curia Cordis is the central body of the Regalian Empire and the Imperial Seat. Most positions inside the Curia Cordis are not attainable for anyone but the Royal Family of Regalia, though some favorite positions are open to those who are able to climb the ranks of the Emperor's close favorites. These positions are generally described as some of the most prestigious positions in the entire Empire, because they are certainly the closest to the Crown's favor.

Emperor of Regalia
