Heir to the Copper Throne
Heir to the Copper Throne
In-universe date: Era Nova, March--April, Year 1
Real-world date: 31 July 2026
Author: Chiefdom of Baylara
High Chief Estorrum has been ruling the Chiefdom for only a year, but a controversy is already brewing.
His current heir, Metanom, is just 9 but already shows great willingness to learn how to rule his father's state. But just as everything looked like a bright future, the High Chieftess birthed another child, a boy: Gavilios!
In Balaran society, one boy normally takes it all as the heir and the other gets nothing. This has turned the nobility of Baylara into a combination of shock, horror, but also filled it with a group of scheming nobles which seek to kill Metanom and put Gavilios as the heir.
While the main heir is being taught by High Chief Estorrum himself, Gavilios is being taught by a council of nobles who (unknowing to the High Chief) want to put Gavilios as the heir.
It is still to be seen how this will be solved.
