Alrighty then, here goes vassals!
Vassals of Pelataria
Cesare Deluci, Master of the Honorable Guild of SpicersCesare Deluci is a big, bloated, immensely rich man of 45. He is wed to Giulia Amarello, 36. They have no official children, although it is said that they both keep lovers and have bastards throughout the realm. Apart from being filthy rich, the Master of the Honorable Guild of Spicers has been proclaimed governor of the town of Porto Alba by the city council, and thus enjoys military as well as economic power. A true merchant prince, his greed is said to be unquenchable, and rumor has it that he is loyal to his purse first and the King second. He has always been loyal to the crown this far, though.
Bianca Rosso, Master of the First Bank of SylvaBianca Rosso is an old shriveled crone of 69. Her husband, Alberto Luca, is dead since twelve years but she still has a host of children, most of who are wed to merchants and prominent figures around the realm. Bianca’s great grandfather founded the First Bank of Sylva, and the Rosso family is one of the wealthiest families in Seyan because of it. While having no official political power, it is widely known that the old banker has all of Sylva in her hand (at the very least). It is also said that she has strong ties to nobility on the continent, a fact that might affect her loyalty to Pelataria. She has however never done anything to provoke the royal family.
A note on vassals:
Your vassals are, as previously stated, NPCs of considerable power. Each of your vassals represents about 20% of your military and economic power (leaving you in complete control of 60%) and can be ordered to assault or defend positions. Depending on your stance with the vassal, they will carry out or ignore the order. Vassals may also act independently if left without instructions or if ordered to do so. Keeping a good relationship with your vassals is important as they might become a threat to you if mismanaged. Your chosen Traits and Flaws obviously interact with your relation.
