Fjord Baronies
Lord Dick Tim:
That's a pretty good one. It allows for military dictators to rise up alongside the king if they have enough power, but allow the legitimacy of the throne to continue onwards, and possibly seize power back.
But that might be more like Chaladon than Fjordlands.
Ofiach:
I really wasn't sure like I said I'm just throwing ideas out there for you to think on, you're the one writing it.
Also This place is cold right? What are they using for heat and energy? I was thinking along the lines of the geothermal plants that greenland has. Then again that might be more Anglean with their higher tech level..... These cold weather communities are going to keep crossing me up. I can't remember where I got the idea but "Lords Leap" could be right on top of a geothermal vent and the heat rises up through the walls keeping the stronghold warm.
That's just a bit of fluff but I like the idea. :P
Lord Dick Tim:
Ooo I like that fluff!
Could also be coal mines, with a caste system in place that gives a convenient location for the lowest orders of society.
Do bad things, break the law, impregnate a nobles daughter? It's the mines for you.
Ofiach:
I like it! can you imagine being forced to work on degrading geothermal equipment at the base of Lords Leap? Coal mines would suck, but the total humidity and heat of geothermal work in a society that considers you expendable?
BRAINGASM have you ever seen Deep Space 9? When it was Terrak Nor (SP?) and the Bajorans had to work in the refineries onboard? Conditions like that XD evil.
Lord Dick Tim:
YES! Omg, fjords could have huge assembly lines of practical slave labor on the lowest castes doing repetitive labour in the place of complex machinery.
of course, I blame the merchants guild for all of it.
There was this anime short, can't remember it's name, where an entire city existed for the purpose of manufacturing and shooting massive cannons all over the city. Every facet of the city was dedicated in some way to making the guns fire, used to hit an enemy in a moving city that they never saw themselves yet their government insured was out there. I could see propaganda used in this fashion to keep lower castes in place.
