Prince Geoffrey, Prince Benedict, and Prince Fredrick of Druzar c. 2075

Some historians say the Druzan Monarchy was abolished as a way to move on from Druzar's sordid past, others say it was because of these 3 goons and their "3 brain cells."

(Considering they are 5th, 6th, and 7th in line to the throne in this photo I'm going to side with the former)

The Hamptons

Lord Sebastian Hampton, Second Duke of Barre is the younger brother of the late Queen Rhea of Druzar. The Hampton's are the second wealthiest family in Druzar after the Royal Family. The Hamptons made their fortune in military tech.

Sebastian was not close with Rhea who was 5 years his senior. Rhea married (then) Prince Kristopher when she was 18, making him 13. Once Kristopher became King of Druzar, he bestowed the title, Duke of Barre, to Rian Hampton (Rhea and Sebastian's father).

The Hamptons are considered "new nobility" and not well liked by the older noble families. While the Hamptons have adapted to most of the customs of Druzian nobility, they do not follow the practice of polygamy. Both Sebastian and Vance's marriages were arranged members of older noble families as a way to further integrate themselves into the noble class.

Theodore has been making some appearances over at @officalroyalsofpierreland and Rowena will be popping up somewhere else at some point.

Standing L to R: Lord Vance, Lady Melissa, Lord Theodore, and Lady Rowena

Seated L to R: Lord Dillion (son of Vance and Melissa), Lady Avora (Duchess of Barre), Lord Sebastian (Second Duke of Barre), and Lady Zofia (daughter of Vance and Melissa).

Gen 4 Trentallia Monarchs

Procrastinating story things by working on future story things that I'll probably never get to. I won't spoil who's who (though you're welcome to guess) but I'll share some random facts about them:

Three of them are descendants of asshat

Three are related to Archer

Two get married

One inherits the throne because their older sibling abdicates

One never marries and names their nibling (niece or nephew) heir

Okay! So my delay in answering this is that I wasn't sure what the Tristenor AU would look like as there were so many different ways it could go. Would Asshat still become king and have all his kiddos or would he die young? Is Tristen still the heir to the throne? Would he have to abdicate to marry Eleanor? Would Donovan be the new heir, would the monarchy be abolished, or would Druzar merge with Trenton? Would Ryland even be born?

--

So in order for us to have this lil lovely Tristenor family, the main change is Asshat dies young. In the canon timeline asshat becomes king at a 30ish after his parents and brother/sil were in a care accident. In this universe, Asshat dies from an aneurism shortly after marrying Rhea. Rhea was pregnant with Tristen at the time so sadly he will be an only child (no Donovan, Ryland, or Blaze).

--

Going one step further, Asshat's brother, Theodore (the OG CP) ends up succeeding their father. He has three children: Alice (CP), Richard, and Lorna. Asshat and Theodore's sister, Alessandra, stays a working royal. I'd like to think that she'd still marry the same dude and have the same kids.

Below is a picture of King Theodore and his family
