In the event that a Prince or Princess does not produce a child to secure the succession within Arion, the succession falls to the second heir of Delryn. Adopted children must be confirmed into the order of succession by Delrynian law. The Prince or Princess, or a representative of their choosing, sit by law on Delryn's Royal Council.

Arion has access to all of Delryn's resources through free and easy trade. They specialize themselves in lumber, honey and maple, and the trapping and fur industry.
