From publisher blurb:
In a democracy your vote counts but in feudalism it’s your Count that votes. Kings, Queens, Patricians, Grand Pooh-Bah’s. Whatever you call a monarch they play an essential role in the adventuring lifestyle. Even the most kindhearted and altruistic of heroes have overheads to cover, therefore they need someone rich and already invested in the idea of paying them to slay monsters, foil cultists and rescue princesses. The monarch taxes the peasants, the monarch hires adventurers and the adventurers protect the peasants from rampaging Geese-Hydra. Hallelujah! The system works! Plus, the sudden appearance of the nation’s ruler almost can’t help but lend a certain gravitas and sense of occasion that will enliven even most mundane quests.
Contained within are the details of eight fantasy monarchs who are both unique and engaging. Unfortunately, their unique elements aren’t terrible engaging, and their engaging parts often aren’t that unique. From, forlorn high elf princes to blood thirsty dragon queens each of these monarchs come with a big dollop of flavor, an entertaining potential plot hook and are primed to be dropped into any fantasy adventure or setting!
