Government

The government of Terre d'Ange, where most of the story of this game takes place, is a feudal monarchy, with all land ultimately under the rule of the current sovereign king or queen, along with the assistance of their royal court. Lands are then divided and subdivided among various vassals, otherwise known as peers of the realm, with those answering directly to the reigning monarch being the sovereign ducs and duchesses who watch over the seven provinces for him or her.

House Courcel has held the crown of Terre d'Ange since the founding of the realm, in an unbroken line from Blessed Elua. They alone among the peers of the realm claim the most holy figure in the d'Angeline religion as their ancestor. There have been attempts to unseat them, most notably a couple of centuries ago by Melisande Shahrizai, but thus far the original house royal has held fast to the throne.
