Nobel Sovereign

Basilisk are led by four Sovereigns (three, traditionally) who the leaders of their clan. Of the Sovereigns, one of them is appointed as the Nobel Sovereign which is the highest position within Basilisk. The Nobel Sovereign is announced at a ceremony known as The Decider which is the same ceremony where the baton of authority is officially passed down onto the new Sovereigns from the former. Prior to this night, there is a rehearsal of The Decider and each of the upcoming Sovereigns is mentored by one of the current Sovereigns which involves an acceptance speech, a pitch (of why they should be the Nobel), and a self reflection of their progress in the past year and how it predicts their growth and success as a Nobel Sovereign.

Whilst the Nobel Sovereign works alongside the other Sovereigns, their position holds a fraction more authority than the other two (traditionally: (Sovereign - 30%, Sovereign - 30%, Nobel Sovereign - 40%)). If the Sovereigns are unable to collectively agree on a decision, then the Nobel Sovereign is allowed to overrule and have the dominant and deciding vote.

Nobel Sovereign Riverly (Sol Riverly) is the highest Sovereign of Basilisk. She was selected to be one of the three Sovereigns of her clan and, after The Decider, was officially announced as the Nobel.

Sovereign Dreea (Dreea Taven) and Sovereign Kodiak (Kodiak Zora) are her counterparts and also considered her family. In Season 5, after she makes a plea deal with The City of Targo to protect the people of Basilisk, she is taken from her clan and subsequently leaves her Sovereign duties to her Nominated: Wynn Bell. After her departure, Wynn becomes a Sovereign alongside Sovereign Kodiak and Sovereign Dreea - who is assigned the role as Nobel Sovereign.
