Penguinfels
Penguinfels or Pinguinfels (Sangunese: 企鵝石 Kigazeki, sometimes transliterated Kigaseki), officially the Lordship of Penguinfels (Saxon: Herrschaft Penguinfels), is a lordship in the Walstadt and Light jurisdiction of the Aemilian Federation. The sole remaining feudal lordship of Whales, it is held by Mina Penguinwaffels.
List of lords
- 1684–1703: Kir Azariah Vidar
- 1703-1743: Audon Jirō
- 1743-——: Mina Penguinwaffels
Succession
In 1696, Kir wrote in his will that upon his demise, the lordship of Kigazeki would pass to his second-eldest son, Jirō, as Ichirō, the eldest would inherit the principality. This happened in 1703 upon the untimely death of Kir.
Jirō issued a will in 1713 in which he stipulated that succession to the lordship of Kigazeki would be vested in his legitimate descendants, without discrimination of gender, under the principle of absolute primogeniture, and in the event of his line being extinct it would pass to the legitimate descendants of his father. In 1743, Jirō abdicated the lordship in favour of his daughter, Mina.
At the request of the Aemilian authorities, in 1743 AN the succession was limited to liches.
Prior to 1743, the order of succession was:
- Yukio, her cousin
- Sechigu, her cousin
- Sehoshi, her cousin
- Enhei, her aunt
- Ytro, her cousin
- Anastasia, her cousin

Coat of arms of the Lordship of Penguinfels: Per Chevron Or and Argent a Chevronel Sable between in chief a Torteau and in base two Penguins respectant proper. |
An example of canting heraldry, the shield of Penguinfels depicts two penguins embracing in front of a snow-clad rock (as marked by the black chevronel) in allusion to the name of lordship, which means "penguin rock" in both Saxon and Sangunese. Above the rock is a yellow sky with a red setting sun; the sun is taken from Sangunese mythology, and the yellow sky reflects how atmospheric conditions make the sky appear on certain evenings in Penguinfels.
