The '''monarch''' is the highest level [[noble]], and also the noble of the highest precedence.  Rather than being promoted from within, like the [[baron]], [[count]], and [[duke]], the monarch arrives as an immigrant from the previous capital. It is not required to have a baron or a count prior to the monarch's arrival. A male monarch is known as a "king" and a female as a "queen". Either may arrive with an opposite gendered "[[king consort]]" or "queen consort", as well as an entourage that can include elite military dwarves and ordinary workers.

Requirements for a monarch's arrival can be checked by pressing {{k|n}} {{k|c}} after a [[fortress]] has reached a certain [[wealth]]. It is unclear exactly what these requirements are, but usually a fortress must be a [[Fortress|metropolis]].
+
You may check how close you are to meeting the requirements for a monarch's arrival by pressing {{k|n}} {{k|c}} after you have a population of at least 140. This option does not appear on the [[Nobles screen]] before then.
  
When the monarch arrives, a fortress becomes the capital of its [[civilization]]. As a result, it can no longer receive visits from a dwarven [[liaison]], nor can it give goods to dwarven caravans as offerings.

When the monarch arrives, your fortress becomes the capital of your [[civilization]]. That means you will no longer receive visits from a dwarven [[liaison]], nor can you give goods to dwarven caravans as offerings.
  
The monarch arrives at the same time as an [[immigration]] wave, but has an entirely separate entourage that can spawn from a different part of the map.  The monarch's entourage consists of a group of dwarves with Legendary +5 skill in a random weapon (but no skill in Fighter), Accomplished skill in Dodger, Shield User, and Armor User, and the "doesn't really care about anything anymore" trait. This wave will arrive even if you have exceeded your [[Immigration|population cap]].

It may be that your monarch is an ancient [[vampire]] with thousands of kills to his name before arriving at your fortress. Some monarchs have been known to drop dead as soon as they enter the map, especially in older worlds. Kings may also be of a different race, such as [[Main:Cacame Awemedinade|an elven king]].
+
It may occur that your monarch is a several hundred years old vampire, which in my case had exactly 12.023 kills before even arriving in the city. With that much experience, it is no wonder he is still king.
