Characters

Bartholomew and Elijah.

Government

• Monarchy. (Source: Discord)
• Young Master (Bartholomew's Listener) is the Prince.
• Kitten (Elijah's Listener) is the Baron of Laerile's son.
• "Young Master's mother is the crowned Queen by noble birth, and the original monarch. Her late husband, the former King, tragically lost his life in the middle of [Young Master's] childhood." (Source: Discord)
• "Canies's governmental structure is that of a monarchy with a crowned king and queen that command the nation as a whole while a myriad of smaller noble houses that run the day-to-day operations and act as Barons for the large tracts of land that the country possesses. Though, currently, Canies is ruled by only a widowed queen as the king tragically passed away many years ago and the queen ahs not seen fit to remarry, appearing to simply hold the position until the prince comes of age to take his coronation and rule as king.” (Source: [OG] Adair Audio Part 2)
• Prior to Young Master's coronation, the last proper coronation in Canies was when his mother was his age. This makes Young Master's coronation a significant event for Canies and the noble circles are abuzz about it. (Source: Bartholomew Audio Part 5)
• “Young Master, as a crowned king, would be expected to marry, quite quickly as a matter of fact. But the nobility of Canies cares more about the social and class status of a King or Queen's spouse rather then their gender, so he would be able to marry whomever he wanted.” (Source: Discord)
• Caines is a lot less judgmental of bastard children than Brookemore (Velvet Masks), because it's more expected in Caines. A lot of them aren't discriminated against, but they aren't considered full members of the family. Rather it’s seen as having two families at that point. It's why it's a rare instance but not unheard of to find a peasant with dragon heritage in Caines. (Source: Discord)
• The queen is also known as the Radiant Lioness for her years of dedicated life and unflinching rule. (Source: Elijah Audio Part 14)
• “[Baron family positions, such as Kitten’s family, earn their position by] slight nepotism. But usually the children of a Baron or Baroness are very well educated and raised with little trouble. So they tend to be the first picks for important jobs, though if a Baron has no children or theirs have passed then a commoner would be selected to fill the role.” (Source: Discord)
• “The number of baronies tend to change as big ones get broken into smaller portents or vice versa. Usually there are around 8 active baronies at any given time.” (Source: Discord)
• The realm is run on treaties and meetings, though the bards and stories make what those accomplish sound like more daring heroics. (Source: Bartholomew Audio Part 8)
• Canies has always been a powder keg, and never a quiet throne. When crowns change heads, old enemies move. Some plans decades in the making. It’s a pride of lions at its best and worst. (Source: Bartholomew Audio Part 8)
