 '''Monarch Factions''' rule [[Cradle|Iteration 110: Cradle]]. At present, there are seven or eight factions, depending on whether the assassinated Arelius Monarch counts.

+==Oldest Monarch?==
 Monarchs do not age, so they can live for hundreds and even thousands of years, but they usually die in battle before reaching their first millennium. In terms of world-power, Monarchs are a great big hairy deal. They are superpowers. Only [[Dreadgod]]s can outmatch a Monarch — 5/6th of the world’s rulers died to the beasts in the [[Dread Wars]], roughly 500 years ago. Of course, Iteration 110 is only one world among thousands in [[The Way and The Worlds|The Way]]. Off world, Monarchs are perhaps similar in power to a lesser [[Abidan]], not a Judge,  or a rookie [[Vroshir]].

-Three Monarchs carry a lineage with inheritable bloodline abilities. These abilities helped to put the House n the throne, originally. [[House Arelius]] descendants inherit the historic clan Patriarch’s infamous Arelius Sight, a detection madra.  Descendants of Akura Malice inherit her expanding purple armor. Sha Miara inherited her Royal Madra from a long line of ancestors.
