So, after watching House of the Dragon, I'm in the mood to roleplay a monarchy style rp. First I want to see if anyone is interested before moving forward.
Name wise I don't have anything aside from Sovereignclan, Goldclan, Castleclan, or something about the location or the first king.
Ranks I'm thinking
King Queen Crowned Heir Heirs/princesses and princesses Right Paw (Deputy/Second in Command Herbalists/Priests? maybe there is a high priest? There should be a Commander or General which consists the best fighter in the clan. Could be one or like three. Royal Guards Knights/Hunters/Scouts Squires (Apprentices Mothers and Kits (We could keep the name or come up with something Old Ones (Elders) Starclan/Dark Forest (They could have special names) Outsiders: (Cats outside of the clan or could be giving the name Commoners or Peasants?)
Idk if the rank Noble with fit anywhere. (Nobles could be the family of the king and queen) These might be to many roles but oh well lol.
Random ideas: Arranged marriages/Mates could be something most cats accept or it's something only the hers, children of Right paws and herbalist/priests have to deal with. Lots of drama and forbidden romances could be had there.
Plot wise: We could do mad/sick king or queen, someone trying to overthrow the royal family, The king and queen name someone else as the crowned heir due to a vision of the current heir being a terrible ruler. Something politics related, or a outsider is destined for the throne.
Territory: I don't have much aside from being near a forest, lake, waterfalls, moorland or close to the beach.
I'm mainly just jotting down ideas so feel free to post with your ideas.

I remember doing one like this a while back and it got really big for a bit. I'd be down to join a new one. WOuld it be in a dilapidated castle? I like the idea of it being near a forest with a waterfall.
It could be a mad or ill king and the queen is secretly trying to overthrow him and the crowned heir is still a kit or she would become queen-mother until the time the heir was old enough to become ruler themselves. There could be those who support the king, those who support the queen, and maybe another faction that wants to put someone else on the throne instead.

Yes, the camp would be an old looking castle and each floor would have these big rooms for different ranks. Course the royals would get the top floor and perhaps it's forbidden during certain times to go to the top floor unless given permission or escorted by a royal guard.
I do like the idea of a faction for the king, queen and a third party. Quick question for yall. Should the king have nine lives or should be shortened to like seven or no lives at all? And should there just be the rank of Knights or should be broken into Knights and Hunters?

id say 5 would be good to, as that way it would still give them a long time to rule, but would also give the shots for people playing the crowned heir to take a shot at ruling
and yea i would say having the warriors split into hunters and knights would help out, kind of like tunnlers and moor runners in old windclan
and the senior warriors are what get to be the royal guard, while all the younger ones are just regular knights, and senior hunters can get a special rank name, to set them apart from the youngers
apprentices would be squires for knight training, and for hunter ones they can be toxophilite(term used for someone studying archery/hunting)

The apprentices for the herbalists/priest could be called acolytes its basically another name for helper or assistant. I like the idea of the higher ranks being forced into arranged marriage.
It might be a bit on the nose but we could call the older hunters senior hunters
I think 5 lives is good also.

Five lives sounds good to me. I like the term toxophilite for young cats training to be hunters. Cats training to be Herbalists could be students. The royals children will get special training from the high priest, their parents and maybe one royal guards and senior hunters.
There is still a lot to think about and to plan but I'm excited for this rp!

Any thoughts on the name? I'm leaning towards Sovereignclan but I'm open to suggestions.

Ooo those are some good names. Btw would anyone like to claim any certain roles? Crowned Heir has been taken btw. I don't have any characters planned out just yet. Idea wise I have, grumpy yet real meaning royal guard, Naive and loyal knight, third faction leader, and maybe one of the herbalist or mothers.
May also have some cats that anyone can claim.

SovereignClan: The Mighty and Noble
Castle floors
1st floor Great Hall (for meetings), Room for the elders, infirmary for herbalist, courtyard/garden?
2nd floor- Nursery, Room for the knights, hunters, toxophilites and squires. Extra room for something else
3rd floor- Royal guard quarters and Lead Hunters quarters
4th floor Rooms for the royals, most cats are forbidden to enter without permission or an escort by a guard especially at knight.
More coming soon just wanted to get these out so I don't forget. I like to think since there are so many rooms, you can sleep wherever you want as long as it's on your floor.
Landmarks ideas
Lover's Lake- Lake in the shape of a heart
Mighty Oak/The Great Oak tree- Place to hunt prey especially birds and to practice climbing.
Grassland area
Village/Town a mile or so away from the clan.
Cliffs/Waterall area
Rocky or sandy area with a large stone in the center. Acts as a place to train
Clan Rules (Meant to be broken)
The word of the King and Queen is law and to disobey them is considered treason.
The royals must be addressed as Your Grace, Your Majesty, or My Liege unless given permission to call them by their actual names
No one is allowed to kill in cold blood. Only the king and queen have the right to execute someone.
Kits can become Squires, toxophilites and students when they reach six or seven moons.
Royal guards are to protect the king, queen and their families above all else.
Those who disobey the laws will either be forced to preform squire/student/ toxophilite duties, be confined to the castle, exiled or even killed.
Those it is frowned upon, cats may have relations to those outside of the castle. However, royals and royal guards can not.
In the event that there is no heir, the Right Paw is next in line for the throne.
(More incoming probably)
Customs and traditions
A quest/test before a young cat can become a knight or hunter, they must complete a quest. For a toxophilite this might be hunting a certain type of prey. They must bring this prey to their mentor or present it to the king or queen. For a squire, they must either lead a patrol, fight any cat of their choosing the exception being a royal and just show their worth in battle.
Students will have to pass a test given to them by the high priest or their mentor and prove their knowledge of herbs and illnesses. Could also be going out and searching for certain herbs. idk
Arranged Marriages/mates While a little old fashioned some cats still do this. Two families will pair their kits up so that they can be future mates to strengthened the family. The royals still do this but most young cats find their own mates despite what their families will say.
Something for a full moon or a new moons.
I had a bunch of ideas during work and really wanted to get them down. Another fun idea I had is the clan collects/wear things like flower crowns, necklaces, use berries for marking, feathers for beds and you can present pretty items to the royals to gain favor ect.

Clan is halfway to being done. Some things took a lot longer than I intended but by the end of the day it should be open. Worst case I can fill in certain things as the rp progresses but we shall see. Coming up with the clan rules will be interesting.
