The Warlord Prince and You - A Guide
I plan on putting this in my Fetlife profile page as well.
In the Black Jewels universe, there is a high-ranking caste of male that is known as the Warlord Prince. Warlord Princes are an aggressive and even violent bunch. However, they are extremely loyal to their Queen, and put her in regard over everyone else, despite holding those dearest to them close. A great deal of protocol is used in such a relationship which makes them a submissive, of sorts. However, it doesn't change a Warlord Prince's nature, but it centers him and helps ground his temper.
Now, this isn't the Black Jewels universe, but some males can easily identify as one, myself included.
So, are you or someone you're involved with a Warlord Prince?
Are they/you:
Let's start with aggressive. Aggressive doesn't mean fight. It simply means rising to a challenger or when someone encroaches to somewhere they don't belong. Warlord Princes are very territorial, and should be approached with some level of caution. This goes double for the one they serve, but I'll cover this in the next section. Like a friend of mine who is also a Warlord Prince: If they aren't physical, there could be verbal flaying involved.
Protective. Let me use my relationship as an example. I identify as monogamous/polyamorous with a one body policy. Look at it however you want. I'm involved with those who are polyamorous. I knew this going into the relationship, and I am okay with it. However, it doesn't mean that I'm not going to be protective. Yes, I'm possessive, but not in the ways most think, i.e. jealousy. I want to meet who is going to be/trying to get involved. Not only is it comfort for me, but I'm also their sword and shield. Meaning, I don't want anyone who they nor I don't trust near them. If anyone tries to hurt them, the offender gets taken down, end of discussion.
Extreme loyalty should go without saying. I'm unsure whether I should break this down.
Serve/Protect/Obey. This isn't anything like "Lick my boots." (Although if you're into that, more power to you.) Be it in public or in private, it may seem that the Warlord Prince holds power. While he does hold some power, the Queen is the one that calls the shots. Warlord Princes obey their Queen without question, unless the orders cause harm to herself or others dear to them. For example, a D/S relationship, the Warlord Prince is the sub.
The Rut is similar to that of a "mating season." Every Warlord Prince in the Black Jewels universe goes through one. Ruts can either be appeased through sex or violence. It can last for several days.
Having identified as a Warlord Prince, I've never gone through an actual Rut as they describe in the books. I don't think that sort of thing exists in our universe, at least for humans. HOWEVER, I go through a time every three to four months in which for 24-72 hours, my sex drive becomes rampant. So I call that my "Rut". I don't know if every male goes through that.
I hope this guide helps one understand me and my way of thinking a bit more than before. And for those who may be involved with someone that could be a Warlord Prince, I hope this helps you understand them a bit better as well.

So, are you or someone you're involved with a Warlord Prince?
Are they/you:
-Aggressive?
-Protective?
-Extremely loyal to you/someone?
-Protective?
-Extremely loyal to you/someone?
Do they/you:
-Serve?
-Protect?
-Obey?
If you answered "yes" to all of these, you or someone you know is a Warlord Prince. Now, should you go running to the hills or run screaming into the night? No. That could be a very bad idea, but it also might be very funny to see.-Protect?
-Obey?
