◇
NINE NATIONS · NINE CROWNS
THE ROYAL
SUMMIT
Where nine rulers gather beyond the reach of the world.
“When the power entrusted to the Council becomes a weapon against the nations, the crowns must gather once more.”
FOUNDING
Approximately Five Generations Ago
Around one hundred years ago
WHY THE CROWNS GATHERED
A Council Meant to Protect.
A Power That Began to Consume.
The nine kings discovered that the Nexus Council was misusing its authority and gradually consuming the power of their nations.
What had once been entrusted to the Council had become a source of growing imbalance. The kings formed the Royal Summit to stand together, challenge that authority, and reclaim the power they had lost.
THEIR COMMON PURPOSE
Overpower the Nexus Council and reclaim
their nations' lost authority.
THE ROYAL PROTOCOL
Rules of the Summit
Ten Days' Notice
Once a date is agreed upon, the other kings must be informed approximately ten days before the meeting.
Every Crown Must Be Represented
All nine kings must attend. If a king cannot attend personally, a representative of equal status must take their place.
Two Champions Only
Each king may bring no more than two champions. They must remain outside the summit chamber.
Nine Doors. Nine Chairs.
The chamber has nine doors and nine chairs, one reserved for each of the nine kings.
A Place Unknown to Humanity
No human knows the summit's location. The carriages and their horses alone know the route that leads there.
Equal Time to Reach the Unknown
Regardless of where a journey begins, every traveler takes the same amount of time to reach the summit's location.
THE NINE CROWNS
The Kings of the Summit
Nine nations. Nine rulers. One gathering hidden from the world.
A crown may be seen. Its bearer remains beyond the reach of an unfinished record.
THE SUMMIT REMAINS SECRET
Nine Doors Open.
The World Knows Nothing.
The route cannot be found by ordinary travel. The gathering cannot be reached by knowing where to look.
