== Regency ==
Regency occurs for a ruler who is unable to rule due to being underage, imprisoned, away on an activity taking place outside their realm, or has the {{iconify|Incapable}} trait, and can only be ended once these reasons no longer apply. While active realm power is shared between the ruler and an appointed diarch, who serves as their liege's regent. Most regencies are short-term arrangements, but longer-term power sharing can become entrenched and effectively become the de-facto power in the realm. Under regency the liege has {{green|+10%}} {{iconify|Stress Loss}} and the regent has {{red|+15%}} {{iconify|Stress Gain}}.

Regency has its own succession based on {{iconify|Opinion}} and character stats. The player heir, spouse, guardian, family members and landless characters take precedence, especially should these factors stack. The regent can be designated manually by the liege every 10 years but it will reduce {{iconify|Opinion}} with any character higher in the succession hierarchy as well as all [[File:Vassal stance courtly.png|24px]] Courtly vassals.

For regencies caused by activities or imprisonment the scale goes through 4 levels. Each level grants the diarch unique interactions called borrowed powers. Borrowed powers can be vetoed by the liege by spending {{iconify|Prestige}}, and using Borrowed powers may cause Strife - an {{iconify|Opinion}} penalty with all of the liege's vassals. Initially Scales of Power has the following levels:

* On failure gain {{red|15-50}} Strife and lose {{red|30-75}} {{iconify|Opinion}} with the liege depending on the amount chosen. Failure is also a crime.

Unless the Scales of Power are at level 1, ending a regency requires using {{iconify|Prestige}}, {{iconify|Piety}}, {{iconify|Gold}} or offering a {{iconify|Weak Hook}}, unless the diarch has {{green|Selfless}} loyalty.

=== Entrenched regency ===
Entrenched Regency happens either when the liege is underage or has the {{iconify|Incapable}} trait or if a regency reached level 4 on Scales of Power and the diarch chose to entrench it. Under Entrenched Regency the Scales of Power go up to level 6. Barring other factors, Entrenched Regencies tend to drift to 50.
