So an important bit of information was brought to my attention this evening: We're technically short a King. Now of course, it's been mentioned far too many times to even try to retcon it down to two so I needed to do a little bit of brainstorming to find a reason for this empty slot.


Though we should probably talk about the selection process for a King... Generally a potential successor would challenge one of the current Kings in a fight to final death. If the challenger wins, then they become a King. A tradition that's been around since the creation of the Council and Kings, the goal being to ensure only the strongest of Kindred hold such a position.


Which leads to the unusual situation currently facing what was once three Kings. For reasons unknown (Because I haven't pieced everything together just yet xD ) the third King chose to rest in torpor for a few years. They moved to a secluded haven in a rural area of Europe. How the location was discovered remains unknown but the haven was stormed by hunters killing the king and kindred acting as guards.


This incident's messed with the millennia old cycle that had been in place leading to a change in tactics to fill the now empty seat. Whoever wishes to take this position needs to prove they can hold their own against one or both of the current Kings. Though in the few years since the incident, no one's stepped up that's been able to prove their worth.


So, seeing as you're playing members of the Council, it's only fair you're aware of the situation. Missy, Juju, Charlotte seems to be the kind to find out this kind of information and likely shared it with her right hand. Kimi, there currently isn't any way for Dorian to know of this unless it ends up cropping up in conversation.


@Shandragontear


We'll have to chat to figure out if Morro would know of this. She doesn't seem to be keeping tabs on Kindred politics anymore...


@Throne Trinity


Being a lone hunter, I don't see Pierce being aware of this event.


@WrathSama17


Seeing as Kaden's been off on his own, I don't think he would be aware of it either.

For Morro it would depend how long ago it happened. 
 
This...this is good. >:) *rubs hands together*
 
I'm assuming going on some kind of GENOCIDAL SPREE wouldn't be allowed if one were to become king, yes? One would be beholden to some kind of laws?

Aye, that tends to be a bad idea. Cause too much trouble and the kings themselves will put you down.
 
That's if they find out, and if they have proof.


...or if any little birds have survived to sing their songs.

I'm just frazzled from a bunch of family stuff and a little snippy. Sorry

That is quite alright, I can understand. Everyone has the right to be grumpy sometimes...I just hope your problems get sorted out and you can feel happy again :)

Charlotte will be quite informed on this matter, and soon, Ryia. This will be interesting how it all plays out. I feel that many have eyes on that prize. Now you say "Kings", but what of a Queen? 


No worries, Kage. I hope everything settles down for you.

King, Queen, as long as they can hold their own they have a shot. Tends to help if they have backing from any of the other houses too, at last to make putting their name in easier.

That is fair enough. In regard to holding their own against another King. I assume it is not to the death, so then it is based on a vote by the Kings upon performance and other factors?

In this case it wouldn't be to the death, damn hunters making things needlessly complicated. Granted that hasn't prevented a few challenges that had no place being there from dying... >>


But yeah, the two would likely talk it over once the little match was done.
 
Haha, eh hunters can make it quite interesting. Excellent, I understand completely
