King
King in Overlord is both a job class native to the New World and the title of the monarchs who head its feudal states, an office defined by authority, strict succession custom, and duty toward the ruled.
Monarchy anchors the human states of the New World in Overlord, and the word king carries two meanings there. It names a job class native to the New World, and it names the office itself, since a ruler can be recognized as king without holding the class.
Kings are the sovereign heads of the feudal monarchies that govern the New World's nations. They are marked out by poise, coordinated bearing, and an air of authority, set apart even by their attire. Succession follows firm custom: when a king dies, the first prince takes the throne, while princesses seal political alliances through marriage. The office carries duties as well as power, for a king is expected to spare his people undue suffering, to love his nation, and to grant it peace.
