I have the massive old strategy guide, with all the charts and tables... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />When I get my copy of Empire at the end of the week, I'm probably going to work up an add-on/modification for using the book with Arcana Unearthed, as that's the system I'm using now.  To fit with Arcana Unearthed, there are a few additions that will need to be made-In the Diamond Throne setting, there aren't too many "independent" countries.  The majority of the continent is controlled by Dor-Ethenos (The Diamond Throne), as well as two independent nations that pay homage to them (Zalavat and the Faen of the Harrowdeep), two ruined kingdoms (Thartolan and Verdune), one rising kingdom that could become a rival to Dor-Ethenos (Fallanor), and seven "minor powers"- the free cities of the south and the isle of Noll.  Given this political structure, the real conflicts are likely to occur on a smaller scale, between entities within Dor-Ethenos, such as guilds, orders, temples, old human nobility, litorian tribes, Chorrim, Rhodin, the Council of Magisters (if it rebands), the criminal network, the runepriests, etc.  So there's lots of political struggle and strife potential, but it's of a different nature than national conflicts.  Covert warfare, trade battles, raids... a real "game of diamond thrones" seems like an interesting possibility in this setting.Also, adjusting the new class abilities to fit this system and restructuring the demographics based on the logic of the Arcana Unearthed/Diamond Throne system will be an interesting challenge.  It might be interesting to see how it could be combined with the ceremony system, or even the possibility of racial levels granting rulership abilities... hmm...Also, I'd think that improvements to cities and regions could be based off of the various guilds and structures suggested in Diamond Throne... lots of ideas, indeed!</blockquote>
