Scarletta Aristocracy
The kingdom of Scarletta is unique among human lands in calling itself a kingdom. Despite lands of significantly larger holding being held under the title of a Duchy, only the royalty in Knapsworth have yet declared themselves a Kingdom.
This is a recent change, as, after coming to power in a coup d'état some 18 years ago, King Emerelis Virgil II declared himself king over the former Duchy, citing direct descent from Aurobeil Virgil, the founding general of the city of Malford. It was at this time he renamed the holdings from simply Knapsworth to Scarletta.
At his side is Queen Consort Claudia Virgil, Crown Prince Emerelis Virgil III, Prince Ishmael Virgil, and Princess Lilia Virgil
The monarchy's seat of power is within the capital of Knapsworth, at the Rose Palace.
Other important figures within the aristocracy include:
Crown Chancellor Argus Delphine, chief advisor to the king.
Countess Marshal Veronica Fitch, in charge of the King's stable, movement, and personal logistics.
Lord Protector Boreal Ellisaria, responsible for the personal protection of the king and royal family.
High Magician Eludian De Amius Marcel, highest advisor on magical affairs, leader of the Scarletta Guild of Spellcasters, and one of the only legally authorized magic users in the kingdom.
Lord General Ioan Lawry, second in command (After King Emerelis himself) of the King's armies.
