The Staff has hashed out a preliminary criteria that we will require all contenders for the throne to fit before we run the Monarch Replacement Quest. We currently have several players who have put up their hand to request to be considered. Those players who fit the criteria will be allowed (but not required) to simply play their main characters. Those that do not will be given a character they can play, but will have to return to the Staff as NPCs upon failure to secure the throne. If a player wins, they can, of course, keep the character and continue to play it.
Here is the preliminary criteria we've come up with for players to comment upon for becoming the new player Monarch of The Inquisition: Legacy:
1. Rank in Help Order of Precedence, Tier 2, Rank 2 or higher
2. Lithmorran heretiage/origin
3. Non-mage.
4. Control the more of the Map of Lithmore than any other candidate (in the case of a tie, some candidates will be eliminated and the quest extended).
The "how" for item 4 will be clearly defined before the quest begins.
