Royal Family of Elwynn

The Monarchy of Elwynn

The Coat of Arms of the Family Council of the House of Orchids.

The legal and cultural term Royal Family of Elwynn denotes the Ruling Dynasty of the Flower of the North. The Royal Family of Elwynn is headed by the King of Elwynn. It is also known as the House of Orchids.

Membership

Nowadays one can only become a member of the Royal Family of Elwynn, unless the King provides otherwise, if one is a child or grandchild of a member of the Royal Family aforesaid. Individuals who marry a member of the Royal Family of the Jewel of Many Facets may, upon being joined in holy matrimony or thereafter, also be admitted to the membership of the Royal Family of Elwynn.

The King may, for reasons which to Him seem sufficient, by an Instrument of Membership Termination under His Hand and the Seal of the Elwynnese Union, upon application of the Family Council of the Royal Family of Northshire, terminate any person's membership in the Royal Family of the Lands of Elwyna. This has happened only in the history of the Royal Family when the membership of Adam Ayreon-Kalirion was terminated in the light of the atrocities and other acts of infamy - including treason, fratricide, regicide, rape, and filicide - he had committed.

Kingly Powers of Protection

The King of Elwynn has the power to, by ordinance, make rules and regulations which have the force of law, with power to attach penalties for their infringement, to protect the Royal Family's ancient rights, privileges, free customs, honour, dignity, peace, order and welfare, to protect its official documents and patrimony as well as the private papers and property of its members, and to protect itself and its members against any person or persons interfering with, molesting, harrassing, threatening or attempting to intimidate them in their pursuit of happiness and liberté de vivre.
