Royal Bloodline

The Royal Bloodline hails from the Dra’is’ir tribe. After being victorious in the Unification War, they were left unopposed to create the empire as it is today. It is through the cunning and strength of this family that the empire has thrived and established dominance over the lands. The Royal Bloodline sits in attendance at all meetings with the emperor or empress, weighing in if given permission to speak. Much of the inner workings of the empire are handled by the Bloodline, the emperor or empress assigning each a desired job. All members of the bloodline, even the females, are sent to train with the Manus Dei, being the personal protectors of the family and the emperor or empress themselves. Those who failed to show strength would not last, thus the bloodline would be kept pure.

====While very loyal to each other, the Royal Bloodline is always scheming amongst themselves. A certain ambitious member may attempt to deceive, kill, or outsmart their relatives in a bid for power and the desire to be the next ruler. This is a well known game, played by all members of the bloodline, but it is all done in secret. Should a member of the bloodline be caught, their names and titles are stricken from the chronicles and they are entered into the Nameless, forever revoking their claims and serving the dominion. Finally, the Emperor or Empress is forever off limits. No bloodline member would attempt to harm or deceive them directly.They play the game to make their position the best possible should the time come when a new ruler is needed.====
