Ruling Dynasty: The Mercer Clan

Dynasty Members
King Alex Mercer
The King hailing from Volmoria; He established his rule in a time long before there was settlement in the south. He ruled over his people justly and fairly, an easy task with a little population. As population has grown fairness is harder to achieve, and as the wealth of Alex has amounted he has become more power hungry than he ever was. He has achieved immortality through vampirism but knows he has not yet reached the stage of godliness. While he does not wish to be a god, he does want to become unkillable. Despite outmatching time, he is always rushing and expects immediate results.
Queen Violetta Mercer
The Draíochta wife of Alex Mercer, she was given vampirism by her beloved husband when he was afraid of losing her to time. She has stood by his side throughout the ages but is becoming worried about his lust for power and what it might do to him, he has become distant unlike how he used to be and it grows worse as he gains more and more power.
Prince Jacob Mercer
The firstborn of Alex, and not the son of Violetta. Prince Jacob is a bastard of Alex to another woman, his mother died of old age. Jacob has been purged of vampirism, which has caused much conflict between Jacob and his father. Jacob doesn't want to be heir to the throne, which goes against what Alex originally intended. This has caused his father to become someone who can only rely on himself. Jacob feels like a pawn to those around him and does not appreciate being royalty, the burden power bears is one he wishes to relieve himself of.
Princess Veronica Mercer
Veronica Mercer is the first child Alex and Violetta had together. Half Draíochta, half human, she appears an ageless beauty. Her blood is strange, being the descendant from two races. She did not inherit her fathers vampirism. She was granted the request to be turned when she reached her fortieth name day. Veronica is now forty seven, although her Draíochta blood would deceive you into believing she is only in her twenties. She, unlike her half-brother, loves vampirism and the power it brings. A lot of her time is spent in the courtyard with her servant Rosetta, a fellow Draíochta.
Charlotte Mercer
The twenty three year old daughter of Alex Mercer, while Draíochta blood flows freely through her she still maintains many human features, much like her sister. She is adventurous and open minded, she travels very often and disproves of her fathers actions. She has been misguided and back stabbed many times and thus has developed trust issues.
Emily Brody
The Bastard daughter of Veronica. Her blood is nearly entirely human, and so at first glance her human blood is all you will see. Only the Draíochta could pick up on her mixed blood, with those who already know. One could notice her veins are not blue, but are light purple. She is 14 and attends a regular school on top of her private tutoring, she is an adventurous young girl and one day wants to become a sailor like her father. She never met the man, but her mother has put her to bed with many stories about him.

Political System
The political system of The Mercer Supremacy is ultimately, at its core, an autocracy. There is one man who currently holds all power, who's decisions are final, despite any laws previously made. There is no restrictions to his power. Not even the Clan have authority over him.
The Mercer Clan, consisting of the Mercer family, rule the Supremacy. There is no restrictions to what they do, it is a dictatorship. This is often overlooked as the Supremacy appear to be doing what they believe is best for their people. The population's suggestions are taken in and considered and while the people have an influence, they have no real power. The Supremacy tend to keep their leaders close, and appoint one person in charge of one province. These chosen ones can create whatever power structure they wish but should it fail, the clan will blame only them.
Political Stability
The war between the three kingdoms has ended, merging three small countries into one giant Kingdom. While the war is over there will be repercussions. The Li'ivi are now satisfied having been let back into their rightful lands, the Draíochta populace is happy for the most part. The humans themselves are divided, confused and need great leadership to get them out of the troubled times war has brought upon them.
Wealth
The people of Shirvaka have brought The Mercer Supremacy much gold and in return they have been supplied a very upper class treatment. While The Supremacy does generate an abundance of gold, after the war much of this gold is funding reparations.
Religion
There is many different religions from cultural influence, but the dominant religion is Valindesism. Pronounced: Val-in-deez-ee-ism. Up in the snow there is a gigantic tree called the tree of Valindasia. Pronounced: Val-in-day-shia. It is believed this tree was placed by the god of Valindesism. This tree holds a great significance to Valindites, as this is a sanctuary directly from their god. Only the marked ones are able to find it.
Provinces
Volmoria: The province Alex resides in is Volmoria, this is the home of The Mercer Clan and the origin of vampires and Draíochta in Rotafar.
Pandisia: The province in which The Blackveil Covenant was formed. Here is where the Li'ivi under the rule of The Mercer Supremacy are located and it is here the Covenant was destroyed.

Notable Guilds
The Steel Snakes: A clan of ninjas hailing from all over the world have founded themselves in an abandoned fortress once used in war in the lands of The Supremacy. The Steel Snakes often do mercenary work, in which the younger members of the clan go out to gain experience. They do not leave inexperienced however as they train vigorously from an early age. They do not reveal their true names when under contract or on a mission and so they work under code names. They are not exclusive to working for The Mercer Supremacy, but they have worked for its leader.
Notable members: The Bloodmime, Ghost, The Sapphire Soldier, The Steel Snake, The Silver Fox.
The Crimson Cypher: This is a guild of mages, dedicated to knowledge expansion. They are predominately mages but many scholars and other knowledgeable people reside within the guild as well. They are indiscriminate in who joins their ranks and are located in a castle up in the snowy tundra. They are under the protection of The Mercer Supremacy, but they work for the betterment of Rotafar.
