Dissolution of the Grand Republic of Varrock & Restoration of Monarchy

Simultaneously, the Grand Republic of Varrock and the Office of Grand Chancellor shall exist no more, with the resignation of the Grand Chancellor, Joanna Lavelle, whose government has declared that the Crown of Varrock be restored in the rightful possession of the Royal House of Lavelle, by previously established law of Varrock; with the blessing of the people's government, this decree reestablishes the Crown of Varrock as the head-of-state, in place of the Office of Grand Chancellor, and that it be held, until his death or legal abdication of the throne, by Nicholas, of the Royal House of Lavelle.

Henceforth, the state, and all territories therein, shall be known by decree of His Majesty's government as the Kingdom of Varrock. Hi, I'm Dan.

What This Means


• The Grand Republic of Varrock no longer exists. In its place, with the resignation of Joanna Lavelle as Grand Chancellor, is the Kingdom of Varrock. The new head-of-state, the Crown of Varrock, will be held by Nicolas Lavelle. As such, he is crowned King Nicholas of Varrock!

• The old primogeniture laws are restored to full effect; the succession of the Crown of Varrock is subject to the set of laws in the next post.

• To maintain, and strengthen, the element of democracy, the Magistrates of Edgeville and Silvarea will remain as the legal, elected governors of their respective provinces. The Office of Prime Minister has been created, with the Parliament of Varrock, to ensure the people's will in the King's government; however, the Prime Minister will act more like a Grand Vizier or Lord Chancellor, where they would ensure proper governance of the nation.

• There will be titles such as Duke/Duchess of Silvarea, however they will be ceremonial. Levies are raised by the Magistrates in times of war, but only by summons of the King.

• The Parliament of Varrock will not be RP'd. We do not really have enough people to do it, so it's really just an imaginary function that gives some meat to the function of the PM. Hi, I'm Dan.

Seven Edicts of Succession
Under Constitutional law, the Succession of the Crown of Varrock is limited by a set of laws; the set of primogeniture laws prohibit unlawful claims to the throne.

First Edict
The incumbent monarch must be of direct blood to the Royal House of Lavelle, and be a continued member of the household.

Second Edict
The heir is chosen, by the incumbent monarch, from the Royal House of Lavelle; if the chosen, apparent heir is not yet of age, the next most apparent heir/ess, of the Royal House of Lavelle, is permitted to ascend to the throne of Varrock and claim its Crown.

Third Edict
The heir to the Crown of Varrock must be a male, of the Royal House of Lavelle.

Fourth Edict
If for any reason, there is no apparent male heir, a female member of the Royal House of Lavelle, of direct blood, is permitted to ascend to the throne of Varrock.

Fifth Edict
The heir/ess to the throne of Varrock must be at the age of sixteen or higher to ascend; if the next apparent heir/ess is not of age, the next possible heir/ess, of age, of the Royal House of Lavelle is permitted to ascend.

Sixth Edict
The apparent heir must be of direct blood of the Royal House of Lavelle and a continued member of the household in order to ascend to the throne of Varrock.

Seventh Edict
Once ascended, the incumbent monarch, of the Royal House of Lavelle, is prohibited from changing their surname, by law, to any other name, and must be a continued member of the Royal House of Lavelle for the length of their reign. The throne will be abdicated, in the favor of the next apparent heir, in the case that the incumbent monarch, of the Royal House of Lavelle, wishes to change his/her surname. Hi, I'm Dan.

Nope, I played Stephen Lavelle as the Grand Duke of Sarimia. The character I'm playing as King of Varrock is Nicolas (but his 'regnal name' is Nicholas with an 'h') Lavelle, who is his nephew.

This is actually Joanna's son, though. Hi, I'm Dan.

Very public, Matt.

There likely would have been some sort of IC referendum before it began, determining that the people wanted a constitutional monarchy instead of the authoritative republican state. Just about anyone in Varrock could have heard about it before it happened; this is just the announcement of the transition of government itself. Hi, I'm Dan.

Sir Gregor of Ashworth/ Myles / 20's / "Knight" / Varrock

(He has a wiki page if you want to have a read)

As a side note, Gregor was knighted by King Darian Lansing ages ago for "special services to the Crown" Myles
