The Monarchs (Decaying Royals)

Summary

The Monarchs are the old world, decaying royal dynasties whose bloodlines and ancient titles once defined civilization, but now linger as relics, living symbols of a lost world where lineage was law and forbidden knowledge was power. Barricaded inside crumbling palaces and obsessed with purity, the Monarchs no longer truly rule, surviving on ritual, secrecy, and the dangerous allure of their ancestry. Every rival faction eyes their hidden vaults and rumored superweapons, but dares not strike first, knowing a single scandal or betrayal could trigger cataclysm.

Their true strength is not in armies, but in centuries of guarded secrets, blueprints for lost technologies, formulas for control and pleasure passed down only within royal bloodlines. But this secrecy has become both protection and prison: tradition makes them predictable, their isolation breeds vulnerability, and every ceremony tempts spies and usurpers. Today, the Monarchs’ power is more myth than muscle, and their downfall is as much a spectacle as a strategy, each captured royal a living scandal, proof that no one, not even the purest blood, is beyond humiliation or subjugation in this broken age.
