I prefer the term "Thrall". Gives freemen a grander title but doesn't make the servant feel unappreciated.

Yeah, we should mention the stuff. And if a vassal, yeah, Quirek seems like it'd be a powerful nation, after all they conquered other civilizations. And as we have the practice of slavery occuring, it'd probably be them introducing us to it, alongside other cultural values.

Part of me wants to be naughty and post IC to get some story progression going. I mean, bootlaces and buttonholes don't matter until you inspect them closely, right?

Professor_Wyvern said
Well, they are a nation based on conquering, they probably focus heavily in mining, so they can forge new weapons, perhaps they also have quite a bit of jewels and salt at their disposal.

You aren't wrong sir, but what is our nation called? I feel this should be GM's call

well, according to Bing's information, we are in the world of Daiar, on the continent of Belar, in the country of Rostguard

Well spotted, I forgot all about it. So Rostguard is a vassal to the militarist empire of Quirek. What do you think Rostguards government is like, and how bigger place do you think it is?

Professor_Wyvern said
Well it has a port city, Fayport, so I imagine Rostguard itself is probably a fairly large nation. Alongside the other assorted smaller villages, and other prominent cities. As for the government, I imagine they are fairly concerned in mercantile interests. As for laws, if they are a vassal to the militarist empire, I imagine they are rather harsh in regards to disobedience of the laws.

The Fated Fallen said
True and true, if the government is interested in mercantile and trade it is probably a council of nobles with an almost puppet king. When a country becomes a vassal it normally adopts the laws of its counterpart, so harsh punishments are likely

The Fated Fallen said
Btw I am keeping notes on this, if anybody has any objections or ideas feel free to kick in

Professor_Wyvern said
I imagine the council is bound to include some well off merchants, who know their trade.

The Fated Fallen said
Where do you think nobles come from? Noble blood but impoverished marries a rich merchantman's daughter. Noble gets money, merchant gets to live the rest of his life knowing his legacy shall be powerful

How about the bordering county of Farethas? I am currently writing my post and I've added a piece of lore i came up with to connect the two nations but I didn't think you two would come up with all this :/
