Monarch

The Monarch is a Hero Sim introduced in The Sims Medieval. This is the first playable Sim the player can control upon starting the game. The monarch's daily job is to write royal decrees and rule the Kingdom. They live in the Castle, and their workspace is the throne room and have living quarters on the second floor including a bedroom, a bathroom and a dining room. How the Monarch rules the Kingdom affects his/her popularity with its occupants.

The monarch is the first Sim that the player controls and the first that they can create. They have to complete tasks and quests to earn QPs (Quest Points) that give the player the ability to add new buildings and thus new heroes. The Monarch, much like most of the heroes can challenge Sims to a duel to improve their combat ability. The monarch is also one of the few Sims who can use the Tactical Map, and is capable of studying diplomacy with neighboring kingdoms to increase their diplomatic ability, and has the ability to ally with and annex other neighbouring kingdoms. How many kingdoms the monarch annexes affects their title. The monarch is also one of the few Sims that have the ability to send other Sims to the Pit of Judgement or to The Stocks, but they themselves can not be sendt to the stocks unless demanded so by quests.

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