Birthright
Birthright is the concept of things being due to a person upon or by fact of their birth, or due to the order of their birth. These may include rights of citizenship based on the place where the person was born or the citizenship of their parents, and inheritance rights to property owned by parents or others. The concept of a birthright is ancient, and is often defined in part with concepts of both patriarchy and birth order.

The Gorgon's Alliance

It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words.

Birthright (campaign Setting)
''Birthright'' is a ''Dungeons & Dragons'' campaign setting that was first released by TSR in 1995. It is based on the continent of ''Cerilia'' on the world of ''Aebrynis'', in which the players take on the role of the divinely-empowered rulers, with emphasis on the political rulership level of gameplay. The setting revolves around the concept of ''bloodlines'': divine power gained by heroes and passed to their descendants. Characters with a bloodline create an aura of command known as ''Regency'', which is measured in the game using ''regency points'' or RP. Using ''regency'', characters acquire a ''domain'' composed of ''provinces'' and ''holdings''. The development of these domains is as much a part of the game as development of the characters. The game uses three-month ''domain turns'' to model actions of rulers over nations in much the same way as ''Dungeons & Dragons'' uses combat rounds to simulate time to model the characters' actions in battle. In 1996, ''Birthright ''w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
