Sovereigns of Farador

Farador has been ruled by a Sovereign since its founding in 1390 AE. Most Sovereigns have belonged to the House of Godwin, who all trace their lineage back to Tallus I. However, there have been several breaks in their reign. Note that after Thoros II, the Sovereigns no longer ruled Kaledonia, with the exception of Harlaw III, who was both Regent of Farador and Duke of Kaledonia.

There has only ever been one foreign Sovereign; James Kilkenny, who claimed the throne after the invasion of Starfall in 1615 AE.

Disputed Claimant
When King Gregory II died suddenly in 1729 AE, Farador was in the midsts of the Third Parayan Conflict. The heir to the throne and Gregory's eldest son, Warren, was leading the armies of Farador in battle. Gregory's second son, Torrick, took the crown, claiming the late King had written the altered line of succession into his will. However, this was contested by several witnesses, and his claim was declared illegal by many, including the churches. When Warren returned from the war, he seized the crown, and executed his brother for treason.

Disputed Claimant
Tiberius III abdicated from the throne after a scandal involving Parayan slave prostitutes. His abdication also barred his heirs from ascending. However, when Gregory III died, Vernon, Tiberius' son, was very popular and claimed that his father's abdication should not affect his legitimacy. Thus began the Cousin's War, which divided the country and ended in Vernon's execution, and delegitimisation of his claim.
