Welcome to the Kingdom of Caeldris

(Setting: Magical medieval fantasy)

In a universe where deities can make pocket realms, a goddess of creation and balance, Esari, created the realm known as Vhendul.

On the northern continent called Eriview, the eastern bordering country, Caeldris, was once a monarchy. Over time, it became an aristocratic meritocracy, having proven for many generations that adopting an heir based on intelligence and merit proved more effective than the traditional King's son. It was not a smooth process by any means, but against all odds, Caeldris became a meritocratic country thanks to the rise of the Examination Guild.

You don't have to be a human and you can also choose an isekai backstory!

What is an Open Bid?

Any adult citizen may bid for any one title of choice every ten years. The highest scorer on intelligence and merit wins the title. Titles come with land stewardship and income but not ownership. Losing a bid means losing the title, land, and income. Personal accumulated wealth is kept. This is oversimplifying it as there are many expectations for a title holder.

Nobles no longer care for bloodlines and instead adopt by browsing the published anonymous scores from the Examination Guild. It's a grey area. Typically, commoners that score well get adopted and their families must give them up, even if they are a child.
