Post about the Rissan government, by DR-MERIEL, 6 August 2005

The Rissan government is wildly different (emphasize wild) than Zoluren's. I would describe Misdilev more as Mafia Don than "prince" -- unless you were referring to a prince of a Venetian city-state during the Renaissance :;grins:: People on the mainlaind who know who Misdilev and Keirnen are and their position in Rissan hierarchy may refer to them as "prince" and "lord" but their actual preferences are simply "sir" and "Captain Allvar" since the fewer people who know who and what you are, the less likely it is there's a knife coming from the shadows to stick in your back.

In addition, I've always encouraged more player-direct leadership on M'Riss and Mer'Kresh than GM-led directed. Players selected their own commanders and ambassadors in the last war. That worked with mixed success, but wasn't so awful that I want to give up on the concept. So, the short answer is "no" -- M'Riss and Mer'Kresh will not follow Zoluren's government, it wouldn't make any sense for it to. That doesn't mean we may not eventually get more player-usable tools and opportunities to support the system we do have, but it won't be a traditional feudal nobility set up.
