Defender of the Realm

Defender of the Realm is a title in the Kingdom of Aqoris with the holder considered as Head of State. As such, the title is usually held by the King of Aqoris but in cases where a child monarch is on the throne, a regent is typically named Defender of the Realm until the monarch comes of age. The title was created by King Barden I Boyce after his Foundation War in order to allow the power of the monarch to be easily divided in times of need. As the title is the de-facto commander of the 6 armies of the Kingdom, a monarch who does not possess great martial skill may simply choose to delegate the office to someone else.
