I know I'd vote for him. ^_^ And his rabid fangirls.  As for royal lines... how about Roberta? She's Hagan's niece... which would make her either Skarl's daughter or his niece, right? So, if we're going by family, it's possible she could inherit... Well, then again she might not. Meridell is still WAY before all the Suffragettes and the equality for men and women, so we can assume that Meridell is still a pretty much Male dominated era. Actually, I have the feeling that in the Neopets world, there isn't as much of a male bias. Even if that's just because TNT would be eaten alive if they did that. j;) But, if there's no one else who's close enough, she'd get the throne anyway, because there were queens before there was equality for women. Of course, then if she married someone like Tormund, he'd be the one in charge... |

Considering neither Vyssa nor Amira has been spotted pretending to be a guy, I don't think TNT is going for historical accuracy on that point.  |

Yeah, but he's the only reasonable ship that I could come up with for Roberta... XD And no one ever said that to the Tomos/Amira shippers, right? j;) |

Maybe Tor is a noble. Most guys in shining armor are nobles...I don't know if Jeran is though. And actually, Rohane is a commoner, part of the minority of the armored warriors who aren't actually very much recognized... |

Amira was raised as a princess. Nabile was the thief.  Tor certainly appears to be a commoner by birth -- he left his home village in Meridell and was, I believe, knighted by Skarl for extraordinary achievement or something like that. There might actually be more room for Rohane's dad to be of higher rank, though perhaps not his mom; I think Tor's parents are both alive and well on their farm. Jeran was born in modern-day Neopia Central, as far as I can tell. But he was quite likely adopted or at least raised by knights/nobles/Skarl himself, showing up in the castle as a kid like he did. |

Yeah, I'd agree about Tor- his family doesn't look like nobility, that's for sure. j;) From The Darkest Faerie, it seems like knighthood in Meridell is almost entirely based on merit, so I'm not sure that the usual knight = noble thing really applies... As for Jeran, being adopted by nobles could possibly give grounds to consider him one... even if he was born outside of Meridell (with Neopia Central being the most likely place, definitely). If he was actually adopted by Skarl, he would be the most likely successor, in any case; if he was adopted by one of the other knights or nobles, he might not even be eligible. I'd like to join. Kengplant. Darigan Citadell Guard. Ok fine, so my lupe is the guard but whatever. *hugs her darigan lupe* *lunelupe bashes me on the head and pushes me away* Right.. not in public.. sorry.. I've added you. ^_^ And... awww... *runs from the Lupey wrath that's bound to follow* |

And if Jeran did become King, would he still partake in Wars and the like? Because, I don't think we've seen too much of Skarl on the battlefield. Jeran going to war as king might provoke a "Hastings". He dies in battle so Meridell Army has no leadership and just pretty much bumbles about blindly whilst the invading force takes advantage of the chaos. So that would prompt him to maybe stay away from the battlefield. That could pretty much damage his reputation of being the one to watch out for during a war and cause general unease amoung the population. Catch 22 I suppose. |

Well, Skarl did fight during the first Meridell war. He was a war opponent (with a higher difficulty than Jeran... o__0), and he's shown fighting against the Spectre of Lord Darigan. So, Jeran would probably still fight. So, no Catch 22. ^_^ |

Skarl had a higher difficulty that Jeran because his blubbery mass pretocted him from blows. Kinda like how Hommer Simpson can take cannonballs to the gut and stand around being punched in the head for hours.
As for the issue with Jeran dieing, well, he'd be like Daniel Jackson in Stargate, you can kill him a thousand times if you want, he's still going to come waltzing through that door as soon as someone says some nice things.

My theory was that Skarl was pigging out on strength/defence/health-boosting neggs. j;) And, yeah... When TNT says heroes never die, they mean it. XD |
