The peace that formerly reigned in Terra Nova has eroded, now little more than a memory. War ravages the continent. Disputes divide kingdoms; ideals divide families. The quest for power consumes absolutely and indiscriminately. None are immune to its allure.
Who will rise and who will fall? Only time—and ambition—will tell.

Change in how times flows. Was 4 IC seasons, now only 2 IC seasons per 1 OOC year.
5 whole years of Heir Apparent goodness! When I started the site, I knew I was hunkering down for the long haul, but I never could have predicted the numerous twists and turns this roleplay site has seen. Hundreds of plots, characters, and members have come and gone, all leaving marks on the site. I am so very thankful for those who have invested. Because you keep coming back, keep getting on, and keep writing, Heir Apparent has the legacy it does today. Three cheers to us!
There is no marriage in Dresmond. Citizens share wagons as they choose to. Some prefer to take long-term partners, while others would rather flex their freedom.
FAMILY
In Dresmond, while children under twelve remain with one or both of their parents, after being named their caravan becomes their family. They quarrel with, protect, love, hate, trust, and betray the people in their caravan. Citizens of Dresmond have great pride in those whom they live among. It is not uncommon for an 18 year old to find a new caravan, but typically, once a citizen settles in with a caravan, they do not leave. Those who make a habit of jumping caravans are frowned at.
* Under Dresmond rule it is now more common for Dresmondi to either keep their children close or else abandon them altogether. Abandoned children are often taken to The Temple of Eldouir, either to serve or be sacrificed.
