General tropes about the Kingdom.
----
* HufflepuffHouse: Out of all of the communities,
The Kingdom:
Kingdom is the most minor and OutOfFocus. Their only prominent members for the longest time are Ezekiel and Shiva, [[spoiler: both of whom are now dead]], and we only get the rarest glimpses at the community itself. This is finally averted when William and Zachary are introduced at the beginning of the Whisperer War and the group starts to get more focus.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: William is a fair and level-headed person, but he doesn't hesitate to threaten Zachary with a knife when the latter starts to threaten him and the other communities.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Both fair and pragmatic, he's a natural fit for leadership.
* RememberTheNewGuy: He's a very important and valued member of the Kingdom, but we don't see or hear of him until the start of the Whisperer War.

A group based out of an old high school, with a fortified wall built out of metal sheets and reinforced by school buses. They are led by King Ezekiel and join Alexandria and the Hilltop in the war against the Saviors. After the war, they become part of a network of communities attempting to rebuild civilization in the Washington D.C. area.

!!!Tropes related to The Kingdom:
* TheKingdom
* LargeHam: The guards of the Kingdom tend to follow Ezekiel's example of being a LargeHam for effect and then dropping the act around friends:
-->'''Kingdom Guard:''' Who dares trespass on the sovereign land of--oh, shit--Jesus? Is that you?! Hot damn, man. We didn't recognize you at first. Sorry if we startled you.
* RedShirtArmy: They suffer heavier casualties than any other community during the war with the Saviors.

* ParentalAbandonment: Tells Michonne that his father was dead to him from an early age and that his mother never really earned being called one.
