#not my asexual and gnc ass taking a widely gendered and marital concept and going 'nah'

[sidereous]

General worldbuilding concept I've had- King and Queen, not as gendered titles or even a married duo but more as specific roles

The Queen sees to social and spiritual matters while The King sees to martial and material matters, broadly speaking.

Naturally, there will be some overlap- The Queen will hear the pleas of scared merchants who've been attacked by bandits, and The King keeps an eye on supply lines and reports of arrests or unnatural deaths

In times of war? The Queen would likely be making speeches and visiting towns to calm the common folk and improve morale, while the King commands the armies and oversees the production of weapons.

But if their opponents call for a truce to discuss matters, both could be present at the negotiations.
