Desmo-Monarchy

The Desmo-Monarchy is a system that was created at the great refresher. Since its creation, the rules have been clear. Clear the leading Monarch, you become the Monarch. The general idea being that if you then die of natural causes your oldest child will take over. However, Homo Sapiens Desmodontinae seldom die of natural causes.

46th Desmo-Royal Family
All that is known is that the main monarch was a Homo Desmodontinae called Gander.

47th Desmo-Royal Family
Crill killed Gander in 1901 and became the leading Desmodontinae. He had already found his wife, Sage, 268 years earlier, she became a queen. They had also had a child, Cindy, 27 years earlier, she became a Princess.

Under Crill's guidance, the Desmo population went to war with the Lupus population. They fought until 1988. Crill died in the Desmo-Lupus war, his death at the hands of a Homo Lupus meant that the Desmo-monarchy went cold. By extension, the old Desmo ways were dead too, thus the war lost its steam.

Revived Royal Family
The Dark Lord is a self-proclaimed King of the Homo Desmodontinae people. He started claiming this on the turn of the millennium. Since then he has built up an almost unstoppable crime syndicate made up of multiple species but with the express purpose of returning the old ways of the Desmo people, including drinking blood of innocents.
