Is the local nobility imported, converted, or promoted from the peasantry?
For regions with Noble structures in place, the local nobility will remain in tact, without alteration. For regions in which we are expanding into, an outside Noble will lead the local Nobles from the Nations of Avalon. Local Empires, Kingdoms, Provinces, etc. are still permitted to expand their boundaries or support expansion. The Evendarrian Expedition of 429 E.R., led by Lady Katherine Galenson, which departed on March seventeenth, annexed a few villages and hamlets along its way in search of the legendary Empire of Hadran. The people, both common folk and nobles will have a ruling body to communicate with, to insure that all the Nobles follow the Accords of Avalon, and that all people, everywhere, are protected from oppression by others.
