Fjord Baronies
Cl ick to Ca p t ain:
From what I've read so far in this thread I think of the Landsraad from Dune, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landsraad. Thus it has me quite excited for my clan who've decided that we shall fallow the Baronies.
Lord Dick Tim:
Good eye Relyks, I'm a huge Dune fan myself and can really see the parallel with how I've imagined the Baronies coming together.
I want to try and define, for the fun of it, some of the noble houses that could be, or at least begin describing the personalities we'd like to see there in.

A lot of amazing potential, fleshing out the Baronies to be like the Landsraad, if anything is needed do let me know.

in the Northern fjords map, the history text teaches us that it is positioned just North og glowwater bay (where my Clan have their operational base located).
We also hear of raiders and pirates roaming the area and all in all being a security problem to the outskirts of the baronies.
What I take from this knowledge is that Glowwater is based on the edge of the baronies, possibly being the bulwark towards the North, like the Castles build in medieval England towards wales and sctoland would function.
from this I also gather that the Capital of the baronies would be located further South, possibly a long way Down. And this Capital would be the home and powerhouse of King Greger (who is also mentioned in the Northern fjords text).
King is a title given to the ruler of a quantity of lords (this case barons).
WHat we dont know is if there are more Kings in the fjords, being in some sort of council like relyks mentioned.
However my guess is that no King would share his power, or even be capable of agreeing with other Kings in the same faction.
What the Northern fjord text also mentions is that king Greger have troubles keeping control over the Northern fjords area, which I would lead to the fact that he is an undisputed ruler of the baronies to the North and around his Capital.
however the fact that king Greger have troubles gianing control over his regions to the North could also mean that the fjord baronies, is a big political scene where powers shifts over the years. A king cannot protect his borders in a feudal state where his clients do no not abide his power.
A king who controls a feudal country would have a Court that resembles his closest Allies, Family and the sons and daughters of his enemies (hostages were a big part of controlling your enemies or possibly rebel lords. Example is Theon greyjoy in game of thrones who were given to the starks as hostage).
It's all just theories from my side :)
also looking forward to joint operations if both our Clans are fjord based Relyks :)

I really should take time to read those in-game lore parts. Thanks for bringing that up, cause after looking around a bit on the world map I finally realised exactly where the fjords map is located. That makes Navinstaak pretty much the northest part of the baronies reach.
Though I gotta say, I always imagined you guys to be based in Ravenrook, cause well.. yeah
