Read the books on the Dome Vigesimi. There is a blurb on 'royalty' there... as well as a bunch of other goodies.
You mean I need to run to every NPC say every 2 weeks, checking if they had new books, for I can know what my char already would? I cant but see the concept of keeping stuff secret by all means pretty much flawing. And for one more offtopic comment: This is not very encouraging roleplay (how could anyone blame a newbie playing a vampire or a pirate? Nothing is known!), as the following inconsistency may show.
Not sure if the following fits in here though:
On character creation you can select male or female kran, also parents' names and jobs. Okay, this might be a technical issue, but since no newbie will ever have an idea about kran being genderless, unless he perhaps will have played a long time (yes, until he will have found a book that will tell him he never had parents -.-), how about at least adding an obvious note to the race description?
(.. or just make Yliakum knowledge accessible to at least forums people, for more people can search for inconsistencies, as well as fewer people will found their own kingdoms or republics, or play male krans or ninja).
