Monarch

The Monarch is a hero character introduced in The Sims Medieval. This is the first playable Sim the player can control upon starting the game. The king/queen's daily job is to write royal decrees and rule the Kingdom. Their workspace is the throne room and have living quarters on the second floor. How the Monarch rules the Kingdom affects his/her popularity with its occupants.

The monarch is capable of dueling with Knights, Spies and some other NPCs in order to increase combat ability. The unknown monarch is also capable of studying diplomacy with neighboring kingdoms to increase their diplomatic ability. The monarch has the power to send other Sims to the stocks or the Pit of Judgement. The monarch uses points he/she earns to add new buildings to his/her kingdom.

Once you have completed your kingdom's ambition, you can have any of your non-monarch heroes found a new kingdom, as the new monarch.
