the aetieriana - imperial & noble titles

wctd worldbuilding

-> Template by @esspecn-a | psd colorings by tuschen

imperial titles.

Vasilier - the absolute monarch of the Aetierian Empire, head of state and the temples of Aetier. They are known by many epitaphs: the fire-wreathed, glory-touched, areia-blessed. All who have held this title have, in their own way, survived the treacherous Agonia to wear the crown upon their head. A bloody baptism to mark their ascendance to near godhood in the eyes of man.

---- Addressed as "Your Imperial Majesty," the current bearer of this title is Dantalion vi Aetier'

Vasili - the primary spouse of the Vasilier, their equal and opposite, the neck that ever supports the head. In influence and power in governance, there is little that can match the one with the ear of ruler. They are also the head of the Imperial Harem.

---- Addressed as "Your Imperial Majesty," this seat has remained empty since the death of Titania of Taul

Reilma-Imperessor | Reilma-Imperessa - the heirs of the realm, this is given to the imperial scions that have been granted an Ascension and are acknowledged in their capabilities to rule. It is a coveted title-- and also one of the most dangerous ones to have.

---- Addressed as "Your Illustrious Highness," as of yet the only bearer of this title is Charles Valerius

Kaisarim - the title given to imperial heirs who have been granted an area to govern. Though not required, this title is typically given along the same time as an heir's Ascension.

---- Addressed as "Your Most Excellent Highness" or "Your Excellency", the current holders of this title is Fenice Eucleia and Charles Valerius

Imperessor | Imperessa - A title given to the children of the Vasilier.

---- Addressed as "Your Imperial Highness" or simply "Your Highness," the current holders of this title are Fenice Eucleia, Charles Valerius, Euphemia Helena, Konstantine Leo, and Basil Nikodemus

Imperessor-Syngenis - Given to the sibling of the Vasilier, a title that speaks of great survival and one with a history of great woe. Rarely does a Vasilier-hopeful leave a sibling alive on their quest for power, even full-blooded ones. One must wonder what they have promised to keep their head in the new regime.

---- Addressed as "Your Most Serene Highness" or "Your Serenity," the only bearer of this title is Andras vi Drochona.

Members of the Serarium/the Imperial Harem

Consort-Prima - the highest ranking consort of the harem in the abscence of the Vasili. They help manage the Serarium, maintain order and harmony among consorts, and oversee the upbringing of all imperial children.

---- Addressed as "Illustrious Lord/Lady" the bearer of this title is Illysandre vi Soresi.

Consort - a member of the harem

---- Addressed as "Your Grace," those who hold these ranks are Titania of Taul, Illysandre vi Soresi, Eudocia vi Kallystos, Adelheid of Reisenberg, and Aurelia of Aranthia

Noble titles - Hereditary

Dux - a title awarded to the eight houses of the Evgenii, the original eight families that pledged their allegiances to Kaelstansa the Great and aided im the creation of the empire. They are also given an honorary seat among the Archons of the Synedrion.

---- Addressed as "Honored Lord," the holders of this title are the heads of the eight great houses: Soresi, Lascaris, Kallystos, Mellisenus, Basilicus, Artesia, Diasorenos, Estelle

Noble titles - Non-hereditary

Kyri - Awarded to those who serve in high levels of government of have done great service to the crown.

---- Addressed simply as "Lord," though most holders of this title prefer to be addressed by their position in government.

Genre: High Fantasy

Status: Draft Zero

Tropes, Themes, and Fun Misc Info: 1920s aesthetic, found family, mating bond (one-sided), shifter magic, fae magic, dancing on the line between human and other, magic is returning

Protagonist One: Twenty-year-old Corinth Boneffant, who after the death of his father is named Emperor of Gustana. Has an old royal gift of shifter beast magic. He is (unbeknowst to her) mated to Winifred.

Protagonist Two: Eighteen-year-old Winifred fern-Emyr, illegitimate granddaughter of the Marchioness of Valinar. She is the Basilda Sidhe, a more elven than human sorceress with the power to attack and change nature with the price of physical injury to herself.

Protagonist Three: Ten-year-old Anthony fern-Sybil, who has a deep familial bond closer to mother and son than anything else with his Aunt Winifred. He reluctantly becomes Crown Prince Anthony Boneffant and begins to train with his half-brother Corinth on how to control his own shifter-beast magic and temperament.

A week before the spring equinox, the eldest illegitimate son of the emperor is found dead in his apartment. Known for his vices, it's seen as an accidental tragedy.

That is, until the following week when the emperor, the empress, and only legitimate daughter are assassinated while driving home from the temple. On the other side of the country, the crown prince, Corinth, is attacked in his university dorm room and survives solely thanks to his rare beast-shifter magic. His roommates, however, are not as lucky.

As Corinth, now Emperor of Grustana, is sent into hiding, one by one the former emperor's illegitimate children—who could under duress be considered heirs due to being publically claimed—begin dying. Within three weeks, despite the best efforts of Corinth and the royal guard, only he remains of the once embarrassingly sprawling royal heirs. Should Corinth pass or not have a son, the royal families of the neighboring countries Kristalis and Undhall stand to inherit the throne—and both countries have been on the brink of war for years. The potential for a mass scale war buzzes under the surface like a disturbed bee hive.

Panicked and trying to prevent a succession crisis, Corinth searches through letters and missives from his father's many mistresses, seeing if any heirs remain. A hidden safe box reveals a cache of letters from eleven years prior from the elderly Duchess of Valinar, reproaching the emperor for impregnating her granddaughter. The formal letter made it clear that acknowledgement of this child will shake an ancient alliance between Grustana and Valinar—which is now a part of the kingdom but was once the home of the ancient and powerful fae and is held together by magically-binding treaties. The fae have faded into legend in the sprawling wilderness forests and the ducal family, who had intermarried with powerful fae priestesses for time immemorial, have been for centuries decidedly and boringly human. The marche is now a remote part of the empire but a wealthy provider of natural resources. The former emperor deferred in publically acknowledging his now ten-year old son Anthony to avoid upsetting the legal and economic connections, but regularly sent money for his upkeep and kept abrest of his son's life.

Corinth refuses to let his staff go alone to retrieve his half-brother and a rushed trip by car begins in hopes whoever is assassinating the royal heirs has not already reached the boy.

Unbeknowst to all but the immediate ducal family, the blood of the fae has bred true once again. Winifred fern-Emyr, illegitimate grandduaghter of the duchess, is Basilda Sidhe, a sorceress priestess of nature and blood—and the dearly beloved aunt of Anthony. Her elven powers make her seem more fae than human, unsettling most that meet her. However, despite only being eight years older than him, Winifred has taken a maternal role for him due to them both being "stains" on the family line.

When assassins come for Anthony, Winifred swiftly and violently takes care of them. And when Corinth comes for his brother, Winifred reveals her true nature when she attacks him and his staff. The situation is diffused before it goes any further, but this meeting of magic sparks mating magic within Corinth...but not in Winifred, who is unaware of this development and is on the edge of protective violence on behalf of her nephew.

It is agreed (a bit too readily by Corinth) that Anthony will take his place as crown prince as a temporary measure and Winifred will accompany them, playing the role of governess and seneschal of the duchess in the capital.

However, dangers on the road, in the capital, and abroad loom over the trio as they work to restore stability in the hopes of preventing a world war.
