Imperial Family: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 22:07, 5 November 2021

The Imperial Family is the extended court of Kade family members, both Imperial and non-Imperial Kades who gravitate around the center of power, the Emperor of Regalia. Each Court member has their own agenda, likes and dislikes, and may join or publicly oppose a Noble Faction in the Assembly for their policies. Generally speaking, Several Kades are mascots (or leading members) of Court Factions, while others have no overt loyalty, but may still be interacted with in Progressions and bestow benefits indirectly to those they favor.

The Emperor

The Emperor is the titular and divine ruler of all of the Regalian Empire. The Imperial seat is currently decided on elective basis, though the Emperor has chosen to keep his choice a secret.

Name	Description
Emperor Alexander the First

The Princes and Princesses

The Princes and Princesses are those eligible to pass the Imperial Throne through their progeny, and are referred to as Your Imperial Highness. By Imperial Law, all Princes and Princesses are numbered, with 1st being the first in line to the succession, and further numbers being further removed from the throne. These numbers are merely for display nowadays however, as the Empire is now elective and thus the Emperor chooses a new heir to take the throne upon his death, as divined by the Everwatcher, who decided that it needed to choose its next Vessel instead of letting fate determine the heir. Women cannot become Empress of Regalia, however they can pass the right to inherit through to any male descendants they may have.

Name	Description
1st Prince Reynaud
2nd Prince Frederick
3rd Prince Raymond
6th Prince Thomas
7th Prince Duncan
8th Prince Valdis
9th Prince Dominic
10th Prince Cedromar
11th Prince Renly
16th Prince Xander
1st Princess Noor
2nd Princess Juliana
3rd Princess Amalia

The Titular Princes and Princesses

The Titular Princes and Princesses are Imperial-Royal by relation to the Emperor, but do not actually have Imperial Blood, and thus have no claim to the Throne either. They are given the same title-address respects as all other Princes and Princesses of Imperial Blood (Your Highness), however are not seen as Princes and Princesses in the eyes of the Law or the Imperial Guard. They still wield considerable power in the Kade Family itself and should not be considered any less important than the Princes and Princesses of Imperial Blood.

Name	Description
Titular Princess Aliandre
Titular Princess Leah
Titular Princess Shelia Manon
Titular Prince Justinian
Titular Prince William Friso
Titular Prince Henry
Titular Princess Ariane
Titular Prince Constantine

Non-Imperial Members

Non-Imperial Kades are neither Titular Princes and Princesses, or Imperial Blood. Non-Imperial Members are so far removed from the inheritance and main line of Imperial House Kade that they merely have a Noble Title, such as Your Lord and My Lady. Non-Imperial Kades are still considerably useful to have the favor of, but they are not as important as the Imperial Blood members or even the Titular ones.

Name	Description
Imperial Guard Joshua
Imperial Guard Tristan

-The Imperial Family is the extended court of Kade family members, both Royal and non-Royal Kades who gravitate around the center of power, the Emperor of Regalia. Each Court member has their own agenda, likes and dislikes, and may join or publicly oppose a Noble Faction in the State Council, or the Assembly (should it exist again) for their policies. Generally speaking, working with Factions has benefits while detracting from one's political enemies, though working with one of these Factions can sometimes be a double-edged blade in that there are allies and enemies to be made at the Imperial Court. Most interactions with members in the Imperial Family have to go through the Geo-Politics Orders.
