Royal structures

## Queen's Trail

The Queen's Trail only occurs when a dragon commits treason to the continent, not just particular tribe. The dragon in question will be judge by the Queens of every tribe from that continent. Depending on the level of the crime, the dragon can be granted pardon if he/she agrees to serve in the Peace Tribe for the rest of their life. An example of this is Prince Conch, a Seawing who commited treason by helping Graceful Flower. However, he got a pardon and a lesser sentences because he turned himself in and was the one that help stopped her.

This is what considered to be treason-ish acts [feel free to add]

1) Killing a Founder

2) Killing a Queen or King, depending on what happens even killing other royals is considered treason

3) Mass murder of a tribe (it has happen before which is why there are splinter kingdoms because of an royal family agruement that went out of hand) [Want to explore it go ahead, this can work with fan-tribes too]

4) Murdering an Guardian or Keeper, this is because they serve not one tribe but all and killing them is an act of war to many tribes.

5) ...... [Should be more]

## Queens Meeting

The order goes like this, Hivewing, Icewing, Leafwing, Mudwing, Nightwing, Rainwing, Sandwing, Seawing, Silkwing, and Skywing. [Yes, its ABC order and yes, Fan-Tribes are included with this but often is overlook because the Power of Flames wasn't that wide known until a few years ago.]

The Queens Meeting happens yearly of which the Queens or Rulers of each tribe gather to go over topics like Choosen Heirs, possible wars, and etc.

## Challanges

The royal challanges have expanded since the year 5,000 A.S. To become Queen is no longer just by the Rainwing Royal Challange or killing the current Queen. However, only daughters, sisters, nieces, granddaughters can still fight for the throne, but not cousins. By the year 8,000 A.S. some heirs have been male because of the lack of female heirs.

The different challanges are [Feel Free to Add]

1) Challanging the current Queen to a duel. However, it can be too the death or saying "I yield." Whoever, is left alive or didn't say "I yield" is the now the Queen.

2) If an Queen commits treason, she can be removed from the throne. If this occurs, a Founder might choose the next Queen, if Civil War seems certain.

3) The Changing of the Crown is usually done in the Peace Tribe, of which the throne is past to heir peacefully and without bloodshed. Although that this route is not adopted by any other tribes, a few Queens have taken this route. When the Queen is ready to step down, she chooses her heir and gives them a crown. However, this does not always works because some heirs are not worthy of being Queen. This is also where Choosen Heir comes from. Choosing ones heir to prevent future death.

All of these challanges have audiences with at least two Royals from any three tribes and usually an Guardian or Keeper is present. This is too ensure that no foul play is made and it is done fairly. However, when there is no audiences and a challenge is made. Something else happens....

4) When a false Queen wins a challange unfairly, an Heres will visit that tribe and the winner must prove that she is worthy to remain on the throne. If not, the Heres can either choose a heir to become Queen (of which does not have to be from the royal blood line) or they take the throne themselves even if there not from the same tribe.
