The House of Syl
The House of Syl is the first house of Sylvania,
and as such the most influential. The King and Queen of Sylvania are always
members of the House of Syl, and the Queen is always head of the House.
The first head of the House of Syl was Queen Raeshayna, wife of the founder
of Sylvania. After Raeshayna's death, the throne was passed to her eldest
daughter Najaana. The tradition has since been that rule passes from the
Queen to her eldest daughter(for just as male can never be the head of
one of the Houses, a male can never rule the kingdom). In the event that
the queen dies before she has any daughters, the rule passes to her eldest
sister(so far it has never happend that the queen had no sister to pass
it to, in that case her eldest son's wife would be crowned). In addition
to the duties of the Queen, the head of the house also has all the responsibilities
of being the head of the House.
The current head of the House of Syl is the newly crowned Queen Xandra Alysse. She took the throne after her sister Xeina's death. She is unmarried, and thus there is no King. The rest of the House includes:
Prince Larkin
Prince Lado
Princess Valerieana
