worked their way up the ranks of leadership.

For the People
Trained in the duties of country-keeping, it is a
sovereign’s duty to ensure their people are cared for
and protected, for the power of a ruler is entirely
reliant on them having their citizens to rule. Most
often, part of this duty of protection includes the
preparation for military service, making sovereigns
remarkable tacticians and soldiers in times of war.
Even the most tyrannical of rulers cannot command a
military without citizenry willing to take arms in support
of their iron fist.
While you create your sovereign, it is highly suggested
you consider a lawful alignment, as sovereigns are
maintainers and symbols of order in civilization. Your
people should be in the forefront of your mind. Do you
rule with authoritarian cruelty? Are you open to
holding the voice of the people as sacred, even if it
means losing your power?
QUICK BUILD
You can make a Sovereign quickly by following these
suggestions. First, depending on your Court, make that ability

Constitution. Second, choose the noble background.
MULTICLASSING AND THE SOVEREIGN
-Ability Score Minimum. As a multiclass character, you must
have a score of at least 13 in one of the Sovereign’s primary
abilities, depending on your Court, to take a level in this class
or to take a level in another class if you are already a
Sovereign.
-Proficiencies Gained. If Sovereign isn’t your initial class,
you gain all armor and weapon proficiencies granted through
your Sovereign Court, as well as one of skill proficiency from
the court's skill list if sovereign is not your initial class.

Sovereigns of Different Titles

The rulers of the realm are all sovereigns, whether
they be lord or lady, king or queen, princess or prince,
or chief or chieftess. This title encompasses any
member of significant power over a governing body.
You might gain a new title in taking on this position,
which you can use in place of “Sovereign” when
referring to your sovereign level if you prefer that
flavor. For example, if you are a 1st-level Sovereign
and are made Lord of your court, you might decide to
call yourself a 1st-level Lord rather than Sovereign.
