As for our fiefdoms, I can't imagine everyone involved is especially happy with the new order of things. Presumably there would be several independent proto-revolutionary elements in each of our territories, from displaced elements of former religious institutions to bitter children of deposed and disenfranchised lords and ladies, perhaps even members of the extended royal families, uncles, aunts, cousins and the like, who are unhappy with the growing influence the South exerts over their traditional lands and freedoms. Will this be a central theme in the role play itself, keeping the peace with our Southern overlords whilst appeasing nationalist factions and traditionalists within our own borders? Or would this simply be an optional concern one could choose to have to deal with should they so please?
