Did someone say halfling queen V2?
If that’s Vivay, did she have her hair dyed?
What kind of line of succession is that? The royal "dynasty" starts (and at this point ends) with Runt. Why would the child be heir presumptive if the father has no claim?
I may have played too much Crusader Kings.
Eddy is in a position to construct/infer such a rule; he is the guy who put the axe in the rock after all (ignoring that Fang actually pulled it out).
But a succession rule still needs some kind of internal logic, so Mr. 627235 still has a point. If the crown can't be passed to Sir Idries (Runt's brother) if Runt dies, then by what reasoning would it pass to Runt's nephew?
I took it as next after his brother, because he's speaking to him directly. I made the assumption that the throne would pass much like it would irl, so i may have jumped to a conclusion
