			===Alternative Victory Condition===
			This Kingdom can no longer attempt Summer Campaigns with the ''Checkmate'' condition, and cannot win by ''Checkmate''. In compensation, an alternative route to victory is defined by the ''Adjudicator''.

	The King is truly massive - for example, a dragon the size of a castle, or an elemental spider whose stride spans the horizon. This trait adds +3 to the Dreaming of the King in Summer, but applies a -5 penalty to the King in Winter.
