Thier standard marching shout, "Bad Boys, Bad Boys, Whatcha gonna do when they come for you- Bad Boys, Bad Boys"Archon said:
Just kidding.If he joins them he should lead them, as he does currently out rank them all in many ways.
Only issue is:
a) confusion over seeing double for everyone. So AB is consort and AA bodyguard.... odd for those times and just calls attention to you both.
b) AA does have a whole area of land that needs to be looked after/over, and while his wife Xath is more then capable to handle it. He shouldn't just leave for a full time posting following his x-lover and mother of his first around.........
Obviously, it is between you and Kennon, and Gertie as this seems to be a character point... so I will shut up now

Archon probably has other responsibilities, and it is unlikely that the Queen would choose to install him as her chief of bodyguards...after all, she has stated several times that she wants one of their children (the daughter) away from court as much as is possible.Archon said:
Archon might provide an excellent model (perhaps even a trainer?) for some of the bodyguards, but I don't think he gets to be in the first set.
Kat is right. This too could be a major issue.Laurel said:
What, indeed, of Sylvanus?

Well, currently, about half of the PCs have plans for Ara - I'll let you guys fight it out.Archon said:
Aeron Stormwind (who is not a Lord) is the regent, but not the ruling regent. He's doing administrative stuff, but important decisions generally wait for the approval or disapproval of Lord Arendorr (that's you).
Most of the "important" decisions are getting glossed over in game, but if you want something specific done in Sylvanus in your absence, let me know....your chief minister and regent can probably ensure that it is done, or at least advise on how to proceed.

Indeed, Ara seems to be a desirable NPC.Archon said:
The Duke, though part of the Queen's inner circle, could certainly help with the ruling in Sylvannus.

Rulership
no thanks. i want to keep it in the family.
Since Archon can't be there to rule, he wants his sister there preserving their home(with the help of Stormwind).
As far as specifics go, Archon's general order is to improve the existing defences of Sylvanus and to train those of age in the art of combat.
also, don't forget that Sylvanus is a port city. If we need ships we can begin to order them(i know we still owe Seaborne a vessel).

Though it does screw up plans that were already established for Ara... But, she is your PCs sister - so, do what you wish!

Ara is probably not going to be a lot of help ruling the city while Archon is away. She makes an adequate figurehead, but her youth and relative inexperience (except at being tortured and dominated) mean that she probably wouldn't be filling much of a role other than figurehead.Archon said:no thanks. i want to keep it in the family.

Nonetheless, if that's seen as a useful thing (and I can certainly see that it might) she can certainly hang out in Sylvanus for a while.
If you (this is a general you, not a specific you) have the money to start building a flotilla (or at least a ship) I would certainly encourage it. However, as of the moment, I should note that most of the ships currently in Sylvanus are merchant vessels with very little (or no) armament - and no steeldrake cannon.
While a great many of those vessels could probably be converted into halfway decent privateers, it would take effort, planning, and money.
Alternatively, you can save up and start building them from scratch. It takes longer, but they'll perform better in battle, and be at least slightly less likely to sink.
Presumably as you run along the warpath to Caer Albion (eventually) you can start collecting taxes and tribute on Jaine's behalf, and replenish some of your kingdom's coffers...so, some of this should be possible, eventually, even if you don't come up with another source of funds.
