Northern Court of the Kaltstaat
- Court Positions and Succession -


The Kaltstaat, or Kaltic Empire, supports a large court - referred to as 'The Northern Court' - which holds a variety of trusted individuals in high regard to help manage and run different aspects of the Empire. The Kaltstaat is currently ran by the leaders of both House Varyn and House Kane, uniting them under one banner.

The line of succession for the Empire is placed to a vote on all children of the current sovereignty, though each child remains heir to their own lands. The first born son inherits the core of the Kaltstaat; the lands of Kane.

Resurrection has became something of a common occurrence, even in the Kaltstaat. Lands, titles, and positions are held in stasis in the event of death, for the eventuality of the person being returned to life, though they must directly petition the sovereignty and made their case to why they should not be passed on to the next in line.




Line of Succession

The sovereignty holds absolute power over the Kaltstaat. They share power and sway equally. In the event of absence or death, the other takes over as sole sovereign of the Kaltstaat crown, and the Kaltic Empire.

+ Kaiser of the Kaltic Empire, King of the Kaltstaat and of the North, Asher I

+ Prince of the Kaltstaat, Adelhardt Kane

+ Hand of Kane, Royal Overseer, Richard Varyn
