What's religion like in the South? I've been roleplaying as people of destitute backgrounds and I kind of want to feel extra powerful for this one, so I wanna see if I can't get a Prince-Bishop who commands maybe a thousand levy men and will have a say on strategic operations.

Which, of course, means that as a GM, you will have to make further accommodations for me. But if you don't want to go the extra mile and entertain my idea, I would totally go for a less powerful and less hassle of a character.
