Added some more. That said, I'm not sure if the Nepotism trope fits as dynastic succession was a norm, even if not official, both in the Roman Empire and is mentioned as being such in the Calradic Empire. Rewrote it to be a little more even-handed.


* {{Nepotism}}: Not only Rhagaea has non-existing claims to the title of empress to begin with (being a widow of an [[ElectiveMonarchy elected emperor]]), but her grand political plan is to set up a hereditary monarchy, with herself and then her daughter as the rulers[[note]]On meta level, this is source of endless memes about the "Simp Empire" within the playerbase[[/note]]. This is a big no-no for pretty much everyone else in the empire, as such change is against the way how it was run for centuries.

to:

* {{Nepotism}}: Not only A common accusation about the Southern Empire's goals, starting with their rivals holding that Rhagaea has non-existing claims to the title of empress no claim to begin with (being a the widow of an [[ElectiveMonarchy elected emperor]]), but reinforced by the fact that the end game for those backing her grand political plan is to set up a enact hereditary monarchy, succession. Lucon is opposed to this as breaking with herself and then her daughter as ''de jure'' tradition going on centuries[[note]]no matter what may have been happening ''de facto''[[/note]], while Garios' faction would prefer the rulers[[note]]On military to decide who is to be Emperor rather than leave it to the whims of inheritance.
* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: On the
meta level, this is a common accusation of Rhagaea's claim and is the source of endless memes about the "Simp Empire" "Simperial" meme within the playerbase[[/note]]. This is a big no-no for pretty much everyone else in the empire, playerbase as such change is against the way how it was run for centuries.if they succeed Rhagaea and then Ira would both be Empress.



the empress of the Southern Empire and leader of the Pehtros clan, she is recognized by her supporters as Empress of the entire Empire.

to:

Formerly wife of Emperor Arenicos, Rhagaea laid a claim to the empress throne of the Southern Calradic Empire for the sake of securing it for her daughter after her husband's death (or more likely murder). Despite being technically an outsider to the Empire and leader facing a general loved by his troops and the Senate's favored choice, Rhagaea was nonetheless able to pull a third of the Pehtros clan, she is recognized by Empire to her supporters banner as Empress of the entire Empire.civil war began.



* ArrangedMarriage: How she married Arenicos - though her side of the family is not present.[[note]]A dev blog mentioned Arenicos marrying "a padishah's daughter" for politics, though in-game none of this comes up.[[/note]]
* TheEmperor: Acting as one for Ira, even though Ira is already of age. The latter seems to be okay with it, though.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Besides the standard army leadership typical of Calradian lords, according to Istania[[note]]Neretzes' old spymaster[[/note]], Rhagaea is by far the cleverest of the three claimants and most able in governing.



%%%* :

to:

%%%* : * ActionGirl: Probably the most pronounced example in Bannerlord's story so far, given her backstory.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Despite the fact that she is nominally supposed to be the successor, when Rhagaea dies Ira does not automatically succeed her as the game has agnatic[[note]]male[[/note]] preference and there are other members of the Pethros family present.
* HeirClubForMen: Discusses this if you ask her about politics - she believes if she were a man the Senate would have gladly voted for her as many Calradic Emperors were a of the previous monarch that the Senate then accepted and the army acclaimed. Unfortunately, due to the aforementioned GameplayAndStorySegregation one of her cousins is going to get the throne if Rhagaea dies.
* MotherMakesYouKing: Or Empress, in this case. While it is Ira's claim that provides the Southern Empire legitimacy, much of the plotting seems to have been done by her mother.
* PoliticallyActivePrincess: While the clan mechanics means that Rhagaea is the Pethros clan's main face during Kingdom Decisions, Ira is not sitting in a palace waiting for her turn to the throne - she is actively fighting for it.
