[QUOTE="babi_gog, post: 8797478, member: 7028726"] Not wanting to make to many holes in things, however it seems that you have a set up where a regent is ruler until they die. Where usually a regent is caretaker ruler until the one they rule on behalf of comes of age, or recovers from what ever is preventing them from ruling. The second item to think on is the [I]college of herald[/I] in this setting. Those who keep track of noble lines and issue arms to them. With long lived races such as elves around, they are likely to engage in such activities and not only be able to work from family trees but also memory. Examples of the college of herald included the [URL='https://courtofthelordlyon.scot/']Court of the Lord Lyon[/URL] and the [URL='https://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk/']College of Arms[/URL]. Third, as to the army. If this is a pseudo-medieval setting, then there will be a very small standing army of the nation, and most of the forces will be under the control of the noble families (tied to the land they control). Thus the need to gain favour with the other nobles (including offering them nice post and possibly more land if they back you) and from this gaining their armed force. [/QUOTE]
