Emberglow

Emberglow is a kingdom in the north-west of the continent of Etraia. It is a prosperous nation, its people considered to be among the wisest, most devout and most virtuous in the world.

This article concerns the kingdom as it is now. For more information about the founding of Emberglow, see the page about the history of Emberglow.

The Crown and Council
Emberglow is ruled by a king (or queen), who inherits the throne following the death of his predecessor. In general, the crown passes from parent to child, though in recent times brothers, sisters, and nephews have been named heirs.

The crown is invested with supreme temporal power, though a High Council is assembled of all the Lords of Emberglow, including the Dwarven Holdlords and the Elven Prince. They exist to advise the king, but are expected to represent their people's interests while doing so.

There is no central church in Emberglow, so the king is expected to be directly responsible to the gods. As the sovereign of the Kingdom, the king is the head of the Order of Vaskr, though unless a national emergency is underway, the Knight Sovereign of the Order takes actual command. The king is regarded as Tyria's representative, both as head of the royal family and as sovereign lord of all Emberglow. It is said that, in his capacity as supreme head of the judiciary, the king is the Black Warden's executor in mortal matters, this is certainly not an official position.

When a new king is crowned, he is presented with a ceremonial axe by the Low King, and a chain by the Prince of the Elves, and finally he is crowned by a priest of Tyria with the gilt-iron and diamond crown of Emberglow.
