[QUOTE="Sarellion, post: 2078124, member: 6254"] So are the humans still second class citizens below the orcs? I think this contradicts the way the setting felt before with humans and orcs sharing the throne equally, conquering the territory together and stuff like this. I would prefer that this change is taken back. I don´t think that the three human pillars would feel comfortable if their whole race was reduced in status as this woulld set a precedant to reduce them as well. Contribution: Taxes are paid to the pillar that rules the province. The Imperial Treasury assesses what a province can pay and then tasks the regional government to collect the taxes. The Pillar has the allowance to take a certain percentage for themselves to use it for provincial issues and it is expected that they take some money extra to compensate for their work. Extra money is paid to border districts to pay for infrastructure like roads and extra food stores. Most fortresses and weapon caches are under direct imperial control, supervised by the imperial legions. There is a constant debate between imperial commanders who serve the empire first and regional governors about payment for the services the civil authorities provide. As the commanders come from different pillars, they don´t mind to give the regional governors some headaches and get a good laugh out of it. It is expected that the pillars will try to talk the next empress to increase their tax cut, perhaps offering to take some of the military burden off imperial shoulders. :) [/QUOTE]
