...Context please?  O.o

[@Prince of Seraphs] We'd need to ask [@LadyRunic] what she had in mind, I suppose.  It probably depends on the fey in question, to some extent.  I'd think that heirs could be from any partner, potentially, and that there's heirs from partnerships that don't include marriage, and probably partnerships that aren't permanent (ie, not actually marriage -- or is there a divorce equivalent as well, in fey culture?  I'd think the vow of "til death do us part" might be binding, but then again, it'd also prevent killing your spouse if you vowed to love and cherish, possibly.  Hm...this is a whole new realm of intrigue) can include sharing resources and such while they are in effect.

Again, if this is /standard/ in fey culture, there's no reason for Arys to be so upset, so I question it.

And to be a ruler in the first place and not be deposed immediately needs strength.  I wonder if there were many successful rebellions where the people as a whole overthrew the ruler, because the impression I got was that normally there is at least one particularly powerful fey that helped shape any rebellion -- and then took power after.  Granted there's nothing specific to support this, but it's the feeling I have.
