Re: The Kingdom of Froggwich (setting)
It strikes me that the frogwitches powers would only work on male frogs.
So what happens when a male descendant of a frogwitch kisses a female frog?(assuming it has the funk magicalness) |

Re: The Kingdom of Froggwich (setting)
What I find a bit unbelievable (in the mystical sense) is all those royal princesses. Royalty is a volatile attribute and tends to concentrate in a few individuals. There's usually enough of it to include those of one degree of kinship (if that's the term I want; I mean siblings and children of a king), but it's not unknown for younger princes and princesses to become mere nobles when they wed, and two degrees kinship can often be enough to dilute royalty below the prince/princess threshold. There's always remains a tiny sliver, so that if all the current possessors die in one fell swoop, it can flow along lines of descent and fill someone who was not previously royal enough, but it would only ever be strong enough to register on a royalty-meter in a handful of people at a time.

EDIT: To elaborate: In the real world, being royal is entirely subjective. You're royal if people accept you as royal and treat you accordingly[*]. In a magical world where being royal has a specifc magical effect, there's no opinion involved. Being royal is a stone cold sober insdisputable fact. [*] Which is why someone who is king for owning half a hill isn't really royal even if he insist he is, because even if his neighbors play along with the fiction, they'll treat him like the farmer he is. But that's by the way. Quote:

According to your story, there's not a single true princess any closer to Froggwitch than Prince Anura's foriegn fiancée. What, there are no female descendants of any of the previous kings still living? Every single branch of the royal line has been pruned of every female descendant? See, I would have thought that there were plenty of younger children of younger children of younger chlidren of younger princes and princesses around, but that they didn't count as true princesses.
