The Kings and Queens of Daly

King Liot dies, with the succession uncertain

The eldest son of Queen Nienna takes the throne.

The shock of losing half of the capital and many of the oldest villages in the kingdom is too much, and King Tristam dies during the disaster.

Queen Livet dies and is succeeded by her eldest son, Newalt.

King Newalt dies, succeeded by his son, Lovil.

Duchess Ila is chosen by the remaining nobles to take the throne, having the closest blood ties back to the founders, in an attempt to cut off any claims from the Avilet Empire (who had an equivalent claim to Daly through Queen Avril of Avilet, granddaughter of Queen Livet)

Tired of almost a decade of war, constant political upheaval and rampant, violent, pananoia gripping the capital, the nobles rise up and remove Ila from power, confining her for the rest of her days in the temple of Goibniu, in the hopes of healing her fractured mind and soul and bringing her clarity and knowledge before her final days.

The temples, having grown in power exponentially, strike against the King, justifying it with the illegitimacy of his grandfather's birth and the revocation of his divine right to rule.

King Hira takes the throne and moves south, leaving his youngest brother, Tristram, to look after the north and his other brother, Godric, to regulate the midlands. His sister, Princess Lieth, is sent to live witht heir distant cousins, the royalty of Avilet, with the hopes of building ties between the two nations further.

A failed coup reminds King Tristram II of his age, and he abdicates in favour of his young son (of his fourth wife) Prince Tristram, (his older daughter, Princess Livet, already being more than 70)

The ascension of King Godric to the throne is challenged by his cousin Princess Aliette, married into the Avilet royal family (in turn descended from Queen Livet I) and claiming greater right through both marriage to the legitimate heir, Prince Aefric of Avilet, and through her father Prince Newalt, King Tristram III's only son.

After nearly a decade, King Godric manages to defeat his cousin and her husband, signing a peace treaty with Emperor Aeric of Avilet and finally being able to officially claim the throne of Daly.

The scale of the Liot disaster plunges King Harding into a deep depression. He takes his own life without producing a heir, and the crown goes to Marguerith, the 6 year old granddaughter of his younger brother, with her uncle Duke Idorith standing as regent.

King Meric, seeing treachery everywhere, sets off to try and form an alliance with the dangerous Paruel, scared that the Avilet Empire will use Prince Gregor to try and take his throne. He is not heard from again

During the festival relocating the capital, King Tristram IV abdicates in favour of his son, Kentric

King Godric III takes the throne, and promptly marries his cousin Princess Mariella to Baron Marthric of Avilet, descendent of the exiled Prince Gregor, in order to deepen links between the two countries. This exemplifies his reign, which is one of the most politically charged in Dalian history

King Godric dies of old age.  With oldest child Jessamine still missing, the crown passes to only son Harding.

King Harding III dies without issue, having spent his entire time as king focussed on building Port Tianston and increasing trade with the mainland. His funeral is held at Port Tianston as it is formally recognised as a city, and his sister Haileth, already in late middle age, takes the throne.

Feeling herself too old to rule well, Queen Haileth III abdicates in favour of her son, Meric

King Meric II retires to build a fortified city overlooking the Wooded Isles, at the south end of the new mainland territories, ceding the throne to his eldest child, Marguerith. There are rumours the new city is either to protect, or protected by, a dragon.

Queen Marguerith II falls from her horse riding out to deal with a minor peasant uprising, breaking her neck. Her eldest son, Godric, succeeds the throne

Both King Godric IV and the next in succession, his brother Prince Jareth, die in unfortunate accidents less than 4 months apart. The throne passes to Prince Jareth's daughter, Livet, still only 16

Queen Livet II goes missing while travelling to Fort Roblack. No amount of scrying or searching finds her

King Tristram V dies in his sleep, at exactly the same time as his unnaturally youthful mother Princess Liovette. He is succeeded by his eldest daughter, Morgause
