Rather than being promoted from within, like the [[baron]], [[count]], and [[duke]], the monarch arrives as an immigrant from the previous capital. 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]]. | Requirements for a monarch's arrival can be checked by pressing {{k|n}} {{k|c}} after a [[fortress]] has reached a certain [[wealth]].

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 be that your monarch is an ancient [[vampire]] with thousands of kills to his name before arriving at your fortress.
