Table 4-12: ANNUAL STABILITY INCREASE BY DOMAIN ALIGNMENT

Is it the alignment of the domain or the regent?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Whichever is worse.

[Davout]

Thanks,

Another question. The relationship between a liege and a vassal. Is it Domain to Domain, Regent to Regent, or Domain to Regent?

Thanks.

Domain to Domain, but one ruler can have more than one domain.

For example, Ilien also have a guild that is listed under a different name. Their ruler is the same person, and they bookkeeping is bundled pr. Ruler.

BUT, the landed part can be vassal of one person, while the guild can be technically independent.

In addition, its possibly for a domain to be the vassal of more than one other domain!

Need to remember though that vassalage formalized by the Investiture spell is Regent to Regent. Or more correctly the Investiture spell is Regent to Regent even though vassalage is Domain to Domain.

[X-Elinie/RiD (Niels)]

Its not like this relationship is complicated at all! :-)

[DM B]

Vassalage is a specific relation between two regents, established through the use f the investiture spell.

The effect of vassalage is that the vassal MUST transfer (as a free action) as set number of RP to his liege.

[DM B]

A domain can only ever have one regent.

A regent can rule multiple domains.

A single domain can contain multiple types of holdings - you can rule a province, some law AND some source and have it still be only one domain.

Example: Countess of Ilien, GeM, rules two domains. One guild-type (PCE) and one composite (Ilien and associated holdings + sources)

(note that Brandon has grouped Ilien's sources into one separate grouping, but it is not a separate domain)

Example: The Spider controls all the non-source holdings in the Fell. he rules only one domain.

Quiz: How many domains does Aubrae Avan rule?

[Davout]

So take an example Regent A controls Domain A and Regent B controls Domain B. A is the liege and B is the vassal. Regent B dies and replaced by his heir Regent C (or mini b if you prefer  ) Assuming Regent passed on his regency to Regent C, the liege-vassal relationship stays. Correct?

What if Regent B never designated an heir and never prepared the necessary transfer of regency, then somehow Regent D is able gain control of Domain B. First is this even possible? If yes then happens to the liege-vassal relationship?

Thanks.

No this won't difficult to model at all   

[X-Elinie/RiD (Niels)]

Bjørns reply is better. :-)

[DM B]

If either A or B dies the vassalage is broken.

It can be renewed between the new regents though, at reduced cost.

[Davout]

A regent can rule multiple domains.

Can a regent rule multiple realms?

If yes, does each realm have a court or does the regent only have one court?

[X-Osoerde (Alan)]

It is probably technically multiple courts, but for the ease of simplicity/efficiency, the courts are combined.

Using the example of Ilien, the PCE is a considerably different court than the Court of Ilien, but because Geraldine is the regent of both, because there is a lot of cross functionality, etc.  The courts are combined.

[DM B]

I suppose that you could - in theory - have multiple courts, but in practice it is easier to operate with one court.

And cheaper.
