Instead of owning a state in the HRE, you will lead a royal house in my kingdom, so yes. You can be a noble/knight and you will be awarded some land to look after. The entire Roleplay is happening inside a single country. No I meant like be a lord to one the royal houses. Basically how in GoT King Robert ruled Westeros The Starks lead the North but had bannermen such as Roose under them. That's what I mean.
