The king consort (female: queen consort) is a male noble that arrives with a queen, a female gendered monarch, who herself requires a Duke to arrive. The king consort has no room requirements and does not show up on the nobles screen. He does not perform any meaningful function, and makes no mandates or demands. He is always[Verify] the husband of the current queen. Kings consort cannot be appointed.
Because there can only be one monarch, under normal conditions there can only be one king consort[Verify].
Interestingly, the plural form of king consort is not "king consorts", but rather "kings consort". This is because the "consort" serves as an attributive adjective and not a nominal portion of the noun phrase.
Room
Although the king consort does not himself have room or furniture requirements, like all married dwarves the king consort shares a bedroom with his spouse, in this case the queen. Because of this, the king consort can enjoy the royal bedroom prepared for the queen without any extra furniture or value improvements.
Gender
The female equivalent of a king consort is a queen consort, who arrives with a king. The spouse of a king is always named "queen consort" unless there is a higher precedence nobility title. Aside from the naming, the two positions do not show any meaningful distinction.
Succession
If the king consort dies, then no new king consort can be appointed until the monarch herself is removed from power. This is because dwarves will never remarry.
On the other hand, if an unmarried queen marries a dwarf, that dwarf will become king consort provided that he does not have a more important noble status.
If the current monarch dies, then the consort will also be replaced[Verify] or removed[Verify] based on the martial status of the heir that assumed the throne.
