The Sovereign is the supreme ruler who holds the crowns of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Prussia or Hanover in personal union. In Kilden and the surrounding regions, all authority ultimately flows from this person, whether it concerns law, taxation, diplomacy or war. Local customs, privileges and regional rights may be strong, but they exist under the Sovereign’s higher claim.
In practice, the Sovereign rarely intervenes directly in the daily affairs of Kilden. Instead, the ruler governs through intermediaries such as the Provost of Wingchere, royal councils and envoys from the three courts. Yet important appointments, confirmations of privileges and major changes to borders or jurisdictions still require the Sovereign’s formal consent.
