Three Dark Crowns Legacy Challenge

Every generation on the island of Fennbirn, a set of triplets is born: three queens, all equal heirs to the crown and each possessor of a coveted magic. But becoming the Queen Crowned isn’t solely a matter of royal birth. Each sister has to fight for it. And it’s not just a game of win or lose…it’s life or death. The night the sisters turn sixteen, the battle begins. The last queen standing gets the crown.
Three dark queens
are born in a glen,
sweet little triplets
will never be friends

Three dark sisters
all fair to be seen,
two to devour
and one to be Queen

Legacy Challenge
Depending on how you want to play this legacy challenge you can do this in a variety of ways.

Every Queen must have the Child of the Islands Trait

Beginning Queen-
-This Queen can be whatever of the gifts that you wish for her to be and you can either start with her as a teen or a young adult.

Life of a Queen-
Birth and Toddler- The previous queen will be giving birth to her triplets and assigning them their Gifts. The three young Queens will remain at the Black Cottage from birth till they become a child at which point they are sent to live among the clans that have each gift.
Child- They are sent to live among their clan that specializes in their gift.
Teen- The ascension year begins. The queens each begin to start working on their gifts. The first queen that completes 3 of her assigned skills that come with her Gift is the Queen Crowned. Their Birthday starts the ascension year, Beltaine Festival. If none are fully completed lock them in a room together and use the extreme violence mod to have the sisters fight it out for the crown.
Young Adult- (optional this can be the ascension year instead of teen). Now as the Queen Crowned she needs to find a mainland husband to father the triplets to start a new generation.

WHEN THE QUEEN CROWNED HAS THE TRIPLETS YOU CAN NOT PLAY WITH HER ANYMORE. SHE DOES NOT HAVE A PART IN THE LIFE OF HER CHILDREN.

Queens must always wear full black, black hair and black eyes. Ethnicity does not matter.

Optional: the three queens can each master one of the three branches of magic (Rhelm of Magic)
Optional: each of the queens can be a different species Naturalist (Human), Posioner (Spellcaster), Oracles (Aliens), Elementals (Mermaids), War-Gifted (Vampire)

    I'm doing an adapted version where they are staying in the same house and then compete when they are young adults to see which one will be the heir.
