==Inevitable Victory: Dominance at Twelve Years==

At the end of the twelve years, if neither King has been captured then the game of succession must nonetheless end. As the contest ends, every fae in Arcadia will present himself to one Court or the other, and the ritualised battle will turn into all-out no-holds-barred civil war.

Each Court calculates its total '''Dominance''' using the following formula:

* +1 Dominance per point of ''Glamour'' the King possesses.
* +4 Dominance per enemy Knight or Bishop that they hold captive.
* +8 Dominance per enemy Rook they hold captive.
* +9 Dominance if they hold the enemy Queen captive.
* Dominance bonuses for some ''Improvements'', as specified in their descriptions.

It is assumed that the Court with the higher Dominance will eventually win the Realm War that ensues... victory is inevitable, though it make take some time.

Winning in this way still counts as a victory, though perhaps not as decisive and clean a victory as through Checkmate.
