Carnation Tribe

The Carnation Tribe is one of the four official tribes of Navavia. Their founders were the 30 American Slaves, also known as the Paralysis Unit.

## Carnation Court

The monarchs of Carnation tribe, collectively known as Carnation Court, are called by the titles Carnation King, Carnation Queen, Carnation Prince and Carnation Princess. If the current monarch couple consists of two people of the same gender, the child of the former monarch keeps Carnation King/Queen and the other one is either Carnation Duke or Carnation Duchess. Within their tribe, they are the highest power but within Navavia, they are below the members of Lily Court. They reside in Carnation Acropolis.

### Royal Marriage

Carnations are often not satisfied with only one partner, so there is a set system for partners that every monarch has to abide to, if they want to or not. The King and Queen both have five other partners they are not bound to by marriage. They have the right to choose the people in these positions themselves and can switch them out for other people at any time, but if someone shows reluctance in having these positions filled, people are chosen for them and they still have to engage in the relationships. If they don't, they can be severely punished and if someone completely ignores these people, they can even be executed. Each of the positions is not restricted to one gender and completely depends on the monarchs' preference. Here the five positions in order of their rank:

* Mistress
	+ Entertains the monarch in bed
		- If they have a child with the King or Queen, the children are automatically considered legitimate and live in luxury
		- These children are considered to have three official parents (King, Queen, Mistress), they also place in the line of succession like any child of the King and Queen
	+ Has to be present at official events
		- Sometimes even represents the monarch
* Doyen
	+ Is essentially a consort as well, but has to be significantly older than the monarch (45+ in age)
	+ Is present during official events but not representing the monarch, but representing the older generation of their tribe
	+ Has sex with the monarch as well but if they have a child together, the children are sent away to be adopted by ordinary people and can never become heirs
* Consort
	+ Has to be significantly younger than the monarch (has to be 10-18 years old)
		- Since the age range is very strict, these are the ones most frequently switched out
		- Girls and boys in this age range cannot become Mistress, Courtesan or Concubine but if they become 19 years old and the monarch has taken a liking to them, the current Mistress, Courtesan or Concubine can be switched out with the former Consort while the position of Consort is given to a new 10-18 year old
	+ Is present during official events but not representing the monarch, but representing the younger generation of their tribe
	+ Has sex with the monarch as well but if they have a child together, the children are sent away to be adopted by ordinary people and can never become heirs
		- This has been greatly criticized since many monarchs rape their very young consorts and leave them traumatized their whole life, but many monarchs refrain from having sex with the consorts or wait until they are at least 13-14 years old)
* Concubine
	+ Is there to be bred and have the monarch's substitute heirs
		- These children are considered legitimate but are placed last in the line of succession
		- As long as the substitute heirs aren't needed, they are considered to be only the concubine's children and only get support for their basic needs from the monarchs
		- If they are needed (which happens very rarely), they are officially considered to be the King and Queen's child and the concubine only serves as a handmaiden for the children anymore
	+ Are servants and handmaidens to the monarchs
* Courtesan
	+ Their main task is to flirt with the monarch and keep them on their toes
		- They are the only partner who is not supposed to sleep with the monarch
	+ Is often also in charge of helping their monarch get ready for the day (dressing them, doing their hair, telling them what they have to do that day...) and get them ready for bed after the day and help them relax/keep them entertained if they can't sleep (helping them bath, massage them, sing for them, entertain them...)
		- While it is frowned upon, many courtesans end up sleeping with the monarchs to help them relax or keep them entertained
			* If they do and happen to get pregnant, the children are killed and if the courtesan is caught trying to hide the pregnancy or their child, they can be executed
	+ The monarchs usually use them as test objects for nice gestures they want to do for other partners (dates, cooking for them, massaging them...) and if the courtesan likes it, the monarch does the same again for the other partners

## Culture

### Values

The Carnation tribe values passion, confidence, control and courage.

### Relationships

Just like members of the royal family, ordinary people are not often satisfied with one partner. But there is no set system for how many partners someone can have or has to have. Most people have one spouse and multiple fixed lovers, the number of them always changing. Other people don't have a spouse at all and only have lovers and some only have a spouse and don't have lovers at all, this really depends on the person's preference.

## Abilities

After the people learned to cultivate the Essence Crystal, the Carnation tribe was given the ability to bend and cultivate fire. They also have excellent sense of smell.
