King Galifar I established a royal line that continues to rule parts of Khorvaire to the present day. When Galifar united the Five Nations under his banner, he gave each of his five eldest children regency over one of the nations. His descendants continued this practice as age and number of offspring allowed, so that for most of the reigns of the Galifar kings and queens, their children learned leadership by governing parts of the kingdom and were therefore more or less ready to step onto the throne when the king abdicated or died. Succession went to the oldest scion of each generation—at least until the death of King Jarot and the succession struggle that led to the Last War. Today, the descendants of Galifar ir’Wynarn continue to play instrumental roles in Khorvaire. Three of the remaining category:2d721e5f-d795-4582-a8bd-8f304e23d2f3]Five Nations[/category] are still ruled by the Wynarn family, and the fourth nation’s royal family, while not on the throne, has some role in the governing of the nation.
