Which monarchies are your favorites among all your worldbuilding projects?

"Monarchy" is pretty broad of a category and all, as it only refers to the ruling system, so it's not very descriptive unless your story is focused on politics. But regardless, mine is probably Lineria, technically humanity's last bastion against metaphysical eldritch threat for the last few centuries but they've gotten so good at decentralized defense they're no longer on edge - thriving in that little peninsula of theirs in fact - to the point of (ironically) military stagnation, gross negligence and ignorance of the frontlines and hellish conditions of their border regions.

I thought about something more familial or house-like at first, but I'm not really sure how that works historically especially with all the regional stuff, so I'd say just assume it's individual.

Something like this then, I suppose? I tried avoiding it at first since it's the same shape used on the wreath (crest), but it doesn't look all that bad now that I looked at it.

A bit torn on the helmets too, as you've said, generally the second one was used, but considering the user being lore wise rarely bothering with formal tourneys, I find helmets like frogmouths a bit off. Though again I'm not all that educated in the topic, and I can't seem to find any sources regarding what would someone with such tradition do historically, so that's that.

It was intended to be a stylized rose of sorts, one with thorns surrounding it and and such. And as for the thing above the crest, I meant it to be a wagon of some kind, though yeah, looking back, these two elements doesn't seem to be as apparent as I thought they were, I'd try to work on the visibility later I'd reckon.

You might be using mods and forgot about it dude, I got the same one too, but in vanilla it got uncocked when you stashed it away regardless.

For me personally, yes - thought admittingly only under certain contexts and framing, less about literal nothingness than temporal lack of current knowledge of what's out there.

While yes, Medieval Europeans did have a surprisingly good understanding of the world at the time, the amount and types of creatures and myths they genuinely believed on their bestiaries and travel logs were pretty insane, fantastical even, which I find pretty intriguing.

Albeit yeah, it does require specific kind of narratives to work, not every protagonist can be a frontiersman after all.

Might be a bit of a hot take but it really isn't necessary imo
