Royal Portian Canopy

The Royal Portian Canopy is the monarchic governing body of the Portian state. It consists of the Portian Queen; her Pliant consort of two to three hundred Portian salticids; the Queensguard, or Vital Force; and the Queen's Vital offspring.

History
The first Portian Royal was the Knighted Queen Schifshech, who established the monarchy and its structure in about 4 PT just after the Founding of Portia. She also established the precedent of choosing the next Queen from her own children, and created the Queensguard from both her own Vital daughters and the band of Portian secessionists who followed her during the breakway from the Mingle.

Every Portian Queen is able to trace her ancestry back to Schifshech, but there is a history of strife among noble families descended from her who claim the right to the throne for themselves and their offspring.
