A male ruler
A female ruler

Rulers are the governing nobles of any Settlements you may encounter and dwell in the local palace alongside their personal guard and possibly their personal priest and jester. Rulers fulfill the role of Quest Givers for high-level players. Some City Rulers are also involved in the main quest. The possible titles for people of nobility are as follows: King/Queen, Prince/Princess, Duke/Duchess, Baron/Baroness, Lord/Lady.

GreetingsEdit

Besides acting as Quest Givers, rulers also welcome the player with some special lines should they don't have any quests to offer.

  • "Let all in [Rival Settlement name] know that we in [Settlement name] welcome all travelers wishing to do business in our [Settlement type]. We are even giving in to demands to build a new hall for guild meetings. I hope you have a very restful stay here, [PC name]. You may leave me now."
  • "Tell me, young [PC race], are you in our fair [Settlement type] for business or pleasure? No matter, [Settlement name] offers ample rewards for seekers of either. You will find the people here friendly and accommodating — although I would not recommend leaving your weaponry back at your Inn if you wander at night. Goodbye, [PC name]."
  • "Welcome to [Settlement name], [PC name]. Please, treat yourself to our [Settlement type]'s many pleasures. Our taverns are a particular delight, the best mutton pie in the province. Now I regret I must dismiss you."
  • "Hail to [PC name]. I hope you enjoy your stay in the [Settlement type] of [Settlement name]. If you want to see some real action, young [PC race], try exploring the wilderness. You may come back with something useful. Now I must bid you farewell. Good day"
  • "Greeting [sic] [PC Name], and welcome to [Settlement Name]. We are a peaceful [Settlement Type], but I would not recommend wandering the streets unarmed at night. Now I fear I must dismiss you. Political matters, you understand. Goodbye."
  • "You call yourself [PC name], is that right? Well, all I can say is that we have had trouble with another young [PC race] like yourself a few days ago and it would be a good idea to stay out of trouble. You are dismissed."

Rulers of the ArenaEdit

 
Tamriel as portrayed in the game

The world of Tamriel is one of a hierarchy of nobles ruling holdings ranging from villages to towns to city-states with their own agencies and rivalries, though all remain ultimately beholden to a singular liege lord in the form of the Emperor of Tamriel. These provinces and their rulers are:

BugsEdit

  • A ruler can change their gendered appearance (male to female or king to queen respectively) after failing a quest. In reality, it seems that the ruler is somehow replaced, palace and all, after failing a quest for them. It seems to not always occur, however. ?
