Changes

The rulers of Buckkeepthe [[Six Duchies]], a line which started with [[Taker]] who arrived from the [[Out Islands]], and continues to King-In-Waiting [[Dutiful]] and then, presumably, his son [[Prosper]]. == The Line of Inheritence ==  Inheritence of the crown is chronological; the eldest child of the reining monarch, or the nearest relation with the strongest Farseer blood will be first on the thrown, regardless of gender. At 16, the oldest heir will become King or Queen-in-Waiting, a position designed to give the potential ruler the power he or she desired while helping them learn the responsibily that goes with it before they ascend the thrown.  If a ruling Farseer dies, their other half will continue to rule over the Six Duchies, even if they contain less Farseer blood then their children.

All of the Farseer line show themselves in possesion of the [[Skill]], and throughout the their history have used [[Skill-coterie]]s. The Skill is taught to all royalty, save for a brief period from King [[Bounty]] to Queen [[Kettricken]], when it was only taught to Princes, and from then on was taught to all in the Six Duchies who showed a talent for it, royal or not.

The Farseer line has a tradition of naming nobles after the virtues they wish them to hold, and they often do, sometimes in extremes and other times only subtly showing the characteristics they are named for. The names can be something seen as entirely positive (such as [[Verity]]), or something ambiguous in nature (as seen with [[Shrewd]]).
