Kingdom of Aminum
"Welcome to Animum, where the honest man can be king, and the dishonest man IS king"
-Unkown, The Great Market of Aminum
Ruling in the southern lands, the Kingdom of Aminum is an elective monarchy ruling out of the capital city of Aminum. The system for deciding the heir to the kindom is unique in that, noble blood is a requirement to be an elector, but not to rule as King. The candidates are pulled from any who are able to prove themselves in the Trial of Three.

The Trial of Three
The Trial of Three is a competition used to determine who amongst the population of Aminum is fit to rule. The trial is divided into three demands, of body, mind & soul. While the trial can be undertaken by even the smallfolk of the Kingdom, prohibitive costs assosciated with the Trial means often only other members of the nobility are capable of completing all three tasks.Trial of Body
The trial of body is the first step in the path towards kingship, it is held as a grand tournament where all peoples of the realm are allowed to sign up. As part of the stipulation of the tournament, entrants are allowed to use whatever armor or equipement they arrive in. As such, loss of life for those who cannot afford armor or quality weapons is a common occurrence and the only a dozen entrants will be allowed to advance towards the next trial.Trial of Mind
Trial of Soul
Those who have persisted beyond both the trial of Body and Mind are brought into the catacombs below the grand cathedral. From here, nothing of the Trial of Soul is known. Once the trial is concluded, those would be crowned sovereign exit from the cathedral, crowned as such.Territories
