Royal Family

The Pryce family is the royal family of Ainsleigh. They are an extremely old family, their roots going back nearly 1,500 years. Once only nobles in charge of Argylle, they united the other five major cities 1,200 years ago and have ruled ever since.

However, in recent years, their power has waned significantly. 200 years ago, as many countries around the world started rebelling against the idea of monarchy and instituting new forms of government. Seeing the end coming, the Pryce family opted to voluntarily cede a good portion of their power away.

While the monarch technically still has not insignificant political power, such as needing their assent to sign bills into law and the ability to declare war, convention dictates that they do not wield it. In modern times, the royal family are little more than figureheads and celebrities.
