nor,whic~fallsamong his duties as a ruler.

In order for the regent to hoa thrs affair (not that
he has much choice), he must spend 6 CB (in addi-

rion to regular court costs) simply to provide every-
thing his fellow regents might need. If he spends
less, he’ll suffer diplomatic consequences as if he
. , had not maintained a court at all. Other regents will
shun his company: most will strive to dissociate
themselves from his realm Cor fear of losing face.

O n the other hand, if the regent spendr more
than 6 G R on the festival, the other regents will
remember that he’s thrown a good party and will
he more kindly disposed toward him. Except for
those who’ve openly declared themselves to he
enemies of this regent, the rulers of Anuire will
tend to remember his realm fondly. lhis is worth a
+2 modifier to all diplomacv actions for one year.

Soon after Rendier leaves, messengers arrive
from Avanil, Boeruine, Ghoere. and Mhoried, all
offering to offset the cost of the conclave. The
messages all read something like this:

Sister (or Brother) Ruler:
I know what a hardship hosting thr Swor

Crow can be. I t can drain a kingdom’s resources
and leave the land unprotected against foul enemies.
Allow me to help take some of the sling from this ,
event; I am prepvred to offer .3 Gold Bars if you
should so desire.

than the smaller ones.

Second, the larger realms stand to gain status .

for helping to host the event, at the cost of
appearances for the PC’s realm. The four donors
are likely to point out to the rulers of other
domains (subtly, of course) that the event was

not entirely sponsored hv the PC.Though this

will have no immediate effect on the PC’s realm.
it’s likely to have long-term consequences.

O f course. these Considerations are all in the

across Anuire.
