Has there ever been a King of Glimmerier? Or a Queen of Elvenwick

There has never been a King of Glimmerier. The closest thing was that the current queen Asteria descends from a son of a queen, which has never happened before.

There hasn’t been a Queen of Elvenwick (because the title queen doesnt exist there). But there has a woman in charge. In fact the current ruler or Elvenwick is a woman

I think we (the people) need to know more abt lili Meri and fiore . do they get along well? what silly, goofy shenanigans do they get up to?

Its very very complicated

As a whole group they rarely hang out together, in part its because of the age gap and how different they are from one another, but they do love each other and stuff. The most shenanigans they do together is Fiore gets in trouble, Lili begs Meri to help, Meri gets them out of the trouble

Lili & Meri

Lili and Meri are pretty close, they just have vastly different hobbies. Meri likes more intellectual and indoors based things where as Lili loves physical activities the most. Lili adores Meri though and tries to participate in their likes so that they can spend time together. Meri doesnt hate Lili but is a little jealous. They wish they were the older one and stuff, they really wanted to inheirt Glimmerier one day, but they are cool.

Lili & Fiore

Chaotic siblings. They both have such similar hobbies, big issue is that they are so apart in age. They both love sparing and fashion. Lili protects Fiore from getting into too much trouble and Fiore looks up to her greatly.

Meri & Fiore

These two dont get along at all. Their interests are far too different, and their age gap is large. Dont get me wrong if anyone is going to successfully get Fiore out of trouble its Meri but they will bitch and moan about it for hours first. Fiore is annoying to them though always messing with their stuff and ya know just little sibling stuff.

anything abt the glimmerierian royal family. anything at all. i wanna know more about them

Im guessing you mean the modern day family. The family today consists of The Queen Asteria, her husband King (consort) Virac, and their three children Princess Liliosa, Prince Merielle (in Glimmerier they have the title of Princess but Prince is their title in Elvenwick), and Prince Fiore.

The queen also has a twin sister Wisteria with whom shes estranged.

The extended family includes the Queen’s cousin Princess Zahara and her family as well as the Queen’s 2nd? cousin Prince Pollux and his family.

The main family are very close which is on par for Glimmerierian royal families. Outside of their royal duties the Queen is a hobbyist baker, the King builds miniature cityscapes, the Princess of the Roses and Prince Fiore both like hunting, and Princess Merielle is quite the little bookworm.

I was working on pets for them but Lili has 2 pet dogs Magnolia (named after her favorite who also happened to have corgis) a corgi, and Winston a Basque poodle mix. Meri has Monsieur a Turkish Angora, Dolphin a galah bird, and Diamantina a diamond dove. Fiore I know at least has one dog Lumi but I havent decided on any others.

The 3 main political parties in Glimmerier. There are others ones but these are the big three

During Queen Primrose Olive’s reign she had two children Laurel and Oliver. Unfortunately the death of Laurel’s granddaughter let to a vacancy of an long term heir and began the search. In 1004, Princess Zahara was born and was to be the Queen after her great aunt. Queen Primrose pleased about the birth of her great granddaughter changed the succession rules so that any female descendent or close relative of a queen is eligible to inheirt, even if they are descended from Prince as long as they were born in that queen’s lifetime. However the following spring in 1005, Primrose’s son Oliver had a daughter Raine who displaced her (Raine’s) niece Princess Zahara. Eventually Raine became queen. The following year Laurel had a son Pollux.

This caused in fighting between especially the nobility of Glimmerier who each desired a different ruler. Royalists were fine with Raine being the queen, where as the two other parties (collectively called Kingmakers) were not. Moderates/Zaharian Kingmakers wanted Zahara to be queen and still actively defend her place on the throne not thinking it was fair that Raine who was younger had a better claim. Radicals/Polluxian Kingmakers see Prince Pollux as the most senior member of the royal family (Prim’s eldest child’s only surviving child) and believe that makes him have better claim.

Their other party goals are above!!
