The King is the dwarf named as ruler of the dwarf civilization in the civilizations screen. When the King arrives, your fortress will be promoted to Mountainhome and capital of that civilization.
The king may, in fact, be a Queen. She will be referred to as the King in text relating to the process of her arrival.
Requirements
Once your fortress becomes the capital of a duchy, 'The Incoming King' will appear on your nobles screen. You will need to reach a certain architectural value, road value, and offerings required (to the dwarven civ's merchants) for the King to arrive. The values needed for each vary from fort to fort, but can be viewed by examining 'The Incoming King' on the nobles screen. Offerings to merchants must actually reach the king: the merchants must make it safely off the map with your offerings.
Alternately, if you find adamantine, this noble will make a surprise arrival, dressed as a peasant. Despite arriving dressed as a peasant, he will make the same room and furniture demands as otherwise.
The adamantine king was bugged in some previous versions,v0.27.176.38c where you were not guaranteed the ruler when you discover adamantine, but instead the first dwarf in the full civ list. This may have been fixed.
Arrival
If the king arrives normally (i.e., not from adamantine), he will come with some Royal Guards and an advisor. The spouses (if any) of the king's entourage will also arrive at this time, all in the form of peasants. The king's spouse will also arrive if he or she is still alive (this is dependent on history generation).
A king that comes dressed as a peasant will have no entourage, and therefore no advisor and no royal guards.
The arrival of the king makes your fortress the mountainhome. The foremost consequence of this is you will no longer receive a trade liaison from your civilization, so can no longer make special request of them, and you can no longer make offerings to the caravan.
Wounds
Occasionally, a King or Queen will have received crippling injuries during world generation, long before they arrive on your map. These injuries will be permanent - either lost limbs (dark grey) or non-healing spinal/nervous injuries. That's life.
Demands
Aside from his room and furniture requirements and the occasional demand, the king issues no mandates.
Non-dwarven Rulers
It is possible to have non-dwarven rulers. In these cases your liason may be of another race other than dwarf and when the king arrives, he will also be of that race. All other nobles that come will still be dwarves. Non-dwarven kings make no room demands, their advisor is also of the same non-dwarven race, and they do not move into your fortress. In the unit list, they appear as "Friendly". They do not appear in your nobles list. The length of their reign is usually limited to the next seige of your fortress.
