Royal Mistress

Mod to add a Royal Paramour court position and events, for rulers of Kingdoms or higher.

Historically rulers would take a lover outside of their marriage, most commonly known as a 'mistress'. A ruler could have multiple mistress but it was common to have a 'main' mistress that enjoyed a high level of prestige and influence over the king. In France, the Chief Royal Mistress was even a semi official court position starting in the 16th century. A paramour is a more gender inclusive term for mistress.

Fun fact: Kings took paramours even if they loved their Queens out of sheer obligation, it was that expected of them!

- Paramour court position for monarchs and higher
- Female paramour, male ruler pregnancy event
- No secret lover or fornicator/adulterer traits applied to paramours and their rulers
- Paramour and ruler will not be asked to break up, unless spouse is also ruler's lover
- Faith based opinion penalties that scale based on how scandalous your paramour is
- Piety penalty when taking paramour, if your faith doesn't accept adultery
- Some rulers may not be able to take paramours at all based on their personality, or faith.
- Married paramours

Please check the update notes for new features

Any unlanded lover or soulmate of any gender in your realm can potentially become your Paramour, so your relationship will be public without the fear of being blackmailed or asked to break up. Married characters may also become your mistress, with some extra events from their grumpy spouse.

There should be no infidelity or blackmail events coming up in regards to your Paramour being your lover (you will still get the sodomite trait if it applies), but if there are please let me know.

- If you land your bastard, the mother will go to their court. Your paramour will lose their court position if they leave your court, so you have to invite them back.
- You may still get adultery/sodomite traits depending on what event fires. I'll probably be slow to fix this, in favour of adding other features
- Female ruler with male paramour pregnancy events don't exist just yet, it's tricky to navigate so may take a while too.
- Pregnant paramours will always tell you if they're pregnant. This may change so they may announce the pregnancy themselves or abort
- Bastards of married paramours with a landed spouse stay in the paramour's spouses court. You can still arrange marriages and stuff for them but yeah they're kinda stuck
- Currently only homosexuality is the only indicator if a paramour is scandalous or not, sinful traits based on your faith in the future will contribute to it
- Married paramours who are set aside stay in your court instead of going back to their partners
- AI may not keep/take paramours consistently.
