King/Queen
The king and queen are rulers of a kingdom. While typically secular, many such rulers claim a link to the divine as the basis of their power. In many lands, they represent the highest rank, and lesser nobles swear oaths of fealty to them or to the throne itself. Depending on the government, they might possess absolute power or be subject to a council of peers or similar political structures. The title is hereditary, barring any outside intervention (such as invasion or rebellion).
Responsibilities
As king or queen, you have the following duties and obligations:
Approve treaties and agreements between kingdoms.
Keep the peace among your vassals for the stability of the land.
Produce an heir for the stability of the realm.
Put the needs of the kingdom above your own.
See to the defence and management of the kingdom.
Sit in judgment over issues brought to you by your nobles.
Spend at least 10 months out of the year actively ruling.
Benefits
Estates and properties generate 500 gp per month. Among the other suggested perks of this title are the following:
Apart from the followers appropriate to your rank, you gain the services of a squad of eight knights, three wizards, three clerics, and two rogues. Each NPC has a CR equal to your PB. You can send the squad on personal quests, and after serving you for one month, the squad returns to their normal home of operations. You must wait two months before summoning them again.
Once per month, you can borrow a magic item with a rarity of up to legendary from the royal treasury. You must return the item within a month unless you choose to borrow the same item again. If the item is lost, destroyed, or has less than its full complement of charges, you are expected to reimburse the treasury.
Once per month, you can request spellcasting services for up to 8th-level spells (though you are expected to pay for expensive components).
