Nevarran royalty and nobility

The kingdom of Nevarra is known for its strong royal dynasties, namely the Pentaghast and Van Markham dynasties.
== Succession ==
Succession in Nevarra is largely hereditary, though some of their kings have been violently deposed, such as King Ionas in the Glory Age and King Nestor Pentaghast in the Exalted Age. Since the Glory Age, rule of Nevarra has mainly fallen on members of the Pentaghast and Van Markham dynasties. Despite being bitter rivals during the Exalted Age, the two families united in the Steel Age through the marriage of the daughter of a Van Markham king to a Pentaghast. Rule of Nevarra subsequently returned to the Pentaghasts. The Pentaghast family now counts fourteen branches–eighteen when counting their relations in the Van Markhams. 
As of 9:41 Dragon, the kingdom of Nevarra is facing a crisis of succession, as neither the elderly King Markus nor his brother Ferdinand have children of their own.
