Internal Etiquette

The circle follows a strict order of succession for formal entrances and public appearances. Foreign spouses are traditionally required to relinquish their previous status to protect the royal line from outside influence. While formal and controlled in public, the brothers share a bond of mutual protection, though they often maintain separate living quarters between the castle apartments and military barracks.

Political Standing

As the victors of a two-year war against Esterlend, the Sethlend royalty holds supreme authority within their realm and significant influence over neighboring territories. The kingdom is structured by a rigid class system determined by hereditary heirs, with the King at the apex and his sons following a strict order of succession.

Heraldry And Symbols

The royal crest is the Phoenix, a symbol of strength, honor, and compassion. The royal colors are red and gold. Members of the house bear a phoenix seal, often worn as a signet ring, and are entrusted with royal robes to signify their protection of the realm.

Allegiance And Motives

The group is primarily motivated by the pursuit of stable, long-term peace and the protection of the royal line's sanctity. They seek to secure their kingdom's future through strategic political alliances, such as the marriage between Prince Adam and Princess Penelope, and by maintaining a unified front against external threats like Westen.

Reputation And Scandal

Outsiders perceive them as a powerful and strategically superior force. However, the court is noted for its sharp scrutiny and judgment, particularly regarding the treatment of foreign additions to the family. Internal tensions exist, such as the perceived political sham of Crown Prince Alexander's marriage to Esmeralde, the daughter of the King's advisor.
