Melvin the Mediocre 03-26-07, 04:11 PM	Does anybody have a list of the Barons of the Dragonmarked Houses? I know you can piece it together from the ECS, but I'm lazy. :D
mhacdebhandia 03-26-07, 08:43 PM	Hell, I'll piece it together from Dragonmarked. ;) Cannith: Baron Merrix d'Cannith of Sharn (Cannith South), Baron Jorlanna d'Cannith of Fairhaven (Cannith West), and Baron Zorlan d'Cannith of Korth (Cannith East) Deneith: Baron Breven d'Deneith of Karrlakton Ghallanda: Baron Yoren d'Ghallanda of Gatherhold Jorasco: Baron Ulara d'Jorasco of Vedykar Kundarak: Lord Morrikan d'Kundarak of Korunda Gate Lyrandar: Baron Esravash d'Lyrandar of Stormhome Medani: Baron Trelib d'Medani of Wroat Orien: Baron Kwanti d'Orien of Passage Phiarlan: Baron Elvinor Elorrenthi d'Phiarlan of Sharn Sivis: Doyenne Lysse Lyrriman d'Sivis of Korranberg Tharashk: Triumvir Daric d'Velderan, Triumvir Khundar'aashta, and Triumvir Maagrim Torrn d'Tharashk Thuranni: Baron Elar d'Thuranni of Atur Vadalis: Baron Dalin d'Vadalis of Varna

Melvin the Mediocre 03-27-07, 08:37 AM	Hell, I'll piece it together from Dragonmarked. ;) Thanks man, you're cool!

The White Sorcerer 03-27-07, 05:40 PM	But he's got a damn cool private lightning rail coach. And in the end, isn't that all that really matters?
Nived 03-28-07, 02:42 AM	I've been rolling around in my head what it would take to get all the heads of the houses to come together for a sit down. Something really major I'd imagine. The Houses all enjoy a large degree of independance and would hate the thought of one or more of the other houses stepping into their House Business. It would be a nightmare of politics and compromise before the meeting was ever agreed to.

It would be a nightmare of politics and compromise before the meeting was ever agreed to. That's at least partially what The Twelve is for. I'd suspect that the heads of the houses would try their best to keep multi family business affairs handled at that level. But if there was something threatening the houses, I could see them comng together. Such threats might be a massive uprising of Aberrant Marks seeking revenge from the ancient war of the mark, or a cult of Hyber following dragons trying to mass control all the dragon marks might bring them together. On the other hand, such an obvious threat might scare the heads into hiding of sort, causing them to refuse to congregate for fear of tempting their enemeis into a massive assault.

Nived 03-28-07, 02:41 PM	Or it becoming public that Merrix is in violation of the Treaty of Thronehold. You know, come together to get him before all the D'Marks catch khyber because of it.
The White Sorcerer 03-28-07, 05:21 PM	Or it becoming public that Merrix is in violation of the Treaty of Thronehold. You know, come together to get him before all the D'Marks catch khyber because of it. However, if only the other Houses knew, they'd propably try to help Merrix conceal his operations and try to get their own slice of the illegal warforged pie.
Cifer 03-28-07, 10:24 PM	However, if only the other Houses knew, they'd propably try to help Merrix conceal his operations and try to get their own slice of the illegal warforged pie. It will certainly be handled quietly. In which direction it goes would probably depend on how many individuals know about Merrix' hobbies by then. I've been rolling around in my head what it would take to get all the heads of the houses to come together for a sit down. Something really major I'd imagine. As Edy more or less said: It's not going to happen. You can have ambassadors, lord-seneschals or similar persons meeting, but more than three barons at one place stinks of disaster - there aren't exactly few parties who would like to stir up a little chaos by assassinating them and twelve at a time would invite attacks of the scale of orbital bombardment.

Its rather democratic, actually. True. Likewise, Elvinor Elorrenthi d'Phiarlan is Baron of House Phiarlan, but the viceroys of the five demesnes of the house (plus the Serpentine Table) wield significant authority in their own right.
Majorafire77 04-04-07, 12:59 AM	However, if only the other Houses knew, they'd propably try to help Merrix conceal his operations and try to get their own slice of the illegal warforged pie. Yeah, but sooner or later the information would get to Jorlanna or Zorlan, and that would pretty much mark the end of Cannith South.
BlackTiger 04-04-07, 02:23 AM	I dunno, South has a lot of resources... But that's a totally different grudge match.
