[QUOTE="Lylandra, post: 7647413, member: 6816692"] The Stanfield problem was mentioned in the Player's Guide. And I guess this was specifically written for Stanfield as he, um, tends to occupy his posts for a very long time and has a unique ability to recall and [I]be[/I] his old selves. By the events of adventure 10, deva kind of change (don't want to spoiler too much), and even then you could rule that they can be king/queen for only one of their lives. I'd say that allowing only short-lived races (and where would you draw the line there?) to be monarch in a country as diverse and focused on cooperation and coexistence as Risur would be pretty "racist". Elves had been the original Risuri, so I doubt that King Kelland would have ruled them out, and there is a strong evidence that at least one half-elf had been queen once. Also, abdication is a thing, see Kings Lorcan and Dukain. Just bceause your monarch has a technically long lifespan doesn't mean that he/she will rule for the rest of his/her life :) For blood relatives: I guess the rule is that a monarch should not choose their [I]direct [/I]descendant to avoid the meritocratic monarchy turning into a dynastic one. Ethelyn was rumored to be a candidate for queen (though a pretty unorthodox one) and she's Aodhan's [I]sibling[/I]. So a previously unknown descendant of a King who ruled 200 years ago should technically be not a big deal. Especially if he isn't a noble. I guess that you already picked your candidate, but why not try to find arguments [I]for[/I] that candidate instead of arguments [I]against[/I] the others? (Even if I have to admit, that's just what I did when I argued why my character, despite being totally fit to rule, should not be queen) [/QUOTE]
