Category:Phoenix Kings
Redirected from (Phoenix Kings).The Phoenix Kings are the rulers of the Elven Isle of Ulthuan. The position of Phoenix King is elective. He is chosen from among the Princes of Ulthuan on the death of the previous Phoenix King and crowned at the massive pyramid Shrine of Asuryan located on an island in the Inner Sea. Before being crowned, they must pass through the Sacred Flame unharmed to prove their purity under the eyes of Asuryan. This is not to say that all Phoenix Kings have been good rulers. In fact many long wars have been started by prideful, vicious and arrogant Phoenix Kings.
Upon ascension to the throne, the Phoenix King is traditionally betrothed to the Everqueen for a ritual marriage lasting one year, after which they are both free to hold separate courts and take new consorts.
