Reply up by the end of the night

@EmmaThere's already a queen. She's still a princess. Her mother isn't dead lol.

If Madeline had been a boy, then the boy would be King, but she isn't so her mother rules.

Her mother was only queen consort. So by marriage margaret was queen. But Madeline is the Kings heir. When he died she became ruler of the kingdom. Since she is young her mother or the hand of the King, or even her fathers brother can rule as proxy till she comes of age, but she is the queen.

@EmmaThat's not how it works in history. Her mother would have to be dead in order for her to rule. If Madeleine had a brother, the brother would be ruling regardless if he was younger than her because that was how the world worked back then. The son was always the heir unless there are no sons or any male (related by blood, ie. an uncle or in GOT's case Hand of the King) who could take the throne.

To make it simple, remember The Lion King? Scar killed Mufasa and then tried to kill Simba so that he could be the King because he would be because of his blood. If Simba died, and Scar died, then the Queen would be Simba's mother all on her lonesome. If Nala had married Simba (she would be Queen through him) before he died, and then Simba's mother died, then Nala would be the queen (in the case of being the sole queen/ruler).

Circe Lannister was Queen because of Robert Baratheon, and then he died, but through him she had two sons (supposedly *cough*). Geoffrey and Tomin. Both of them were kings and neither of her daughters were Queen. They remained princesses. But even if her daughters didn't die, Circe would still be Queen and sitting on the Iron Throne (this is also assuming Tywin, The Hand of the King at the time died to and he did, but fact is there are still many many men in the way before a female takes the throne). Not her daughters unless she died or yielded the throne.

Because the world was sexist with their rules.

@Holy Soldier Oh cause I was pretty sure is was more like Circe Lannister is now the dowager queen.

So if Tommen died (and was not married to Marjorie, and Marcella was still alive).

Marcella would become queen of the seven kingdoms.

So Line of succession was Joffery, Tommen, and then Marcella: if her brothers had no children.

Because otherwise If Circe was lawfully the Queen by right, then if she where to marry, any sons born from that union would be king before Marcella. Even though it was King Robert Baratheon who is the true Royal line.

----------------------------------
I know this is a male-preference primogeniture, but after all is said and done, Madeline has no legitimate brothers, so she is the rightful heir of King Samson. So I assumed that Queen Margaret becomes a dowager Queen, and Princess Madeline as the only heir, becomes the rightful ruling Queen, after a proper coronation. On the other hand if in this AU, female heirs have no rights to the throne after their brothers, then King Samson's brother Stuart would become King.

See in your scenario I was under the impression that King Mufasa is dead, and Prince Simba is considered dead/missing? So Scar would be rightful King by blood. Simba's mother is a dowager queen, without any power. If Simba had a younger sibling then he/she would be king/queen.

i'd like to see him try ;)

@BlackPantherWill edit, sorry.

@MrMonsoonPicking on his injured, deeply in love, nephew...Petty... lol.

I'm still here
I was waiting for belle to respond first. Wanted to see Lyra's reaction

Still here. Love this RP, though Isadora has still yet to interact in the IC. I think if there is only a few players left, a reboot of some kind would be good. Or possibly a large time skip.

present. if we end up being a small group rp, i think we should keep this thread, but adjust. like, keep all the characters together, or have people take on multiple. the plot would probably need a little fudging but it's too early in the morning for me to think of ideas =P

<Snipped quote by Emma>

I was thinking about this- if the reboot is done, what I would do for the remaining characters is give them a background story for everyone else as to what happened so far; and then we can go from there. IE: In the reboot the king would have already been killed, and perhaps wrap up a few other events I had planned in start for a new story to blossom.

oh this would be ok too

I think time skip reboot would be good. But only time skip like a week or month ahead.

@MissCapnCrunchI'm still here but I don't have any comments to give concerning this decision. I'm heading right on back to work.

@MissCapnCrunch
I'm still alive and kicking and if it should get down to 3-4 of us i propose a reboot aswell think of it as lands of lhivoria: season 2
