[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8321529, member: 20564"] In one of the campaigns I'm running, the characters all started off as Maskbearers - the (failing) Imperium has about 80 (left) of these powerful artifact masks they created during their peak (lie!) that may wake when someone compatible comes before them. Accepting the Mask and the Oath (never administered!) gives one some great authorty. The Child-Empress Olixia, Fourth of her Name, wished to focus the resources of the Imperium on a newly discovered continent. Deep Sea arries no magic, so it is out of reach of teleportation, sending, etc. Seeing six Maskbearers at once, something unheard of in recent history, she sent them to the new land. Any Maskbearer would have authority, but she also granted them the right of High Justice since she would not be there. They get there (a 3 month sea voyage) and immediately the Governor thinks it's a vote of no confidence, since previously he was the only one with the Right of High Justice on the new continent. Dealing with that, with leaders of other settlements, setting up an improptu leading council for a settlement recovering from a plague, and acting as ambassadors. We're now over a year into the campaign, they have found that they can travel back through the feywild to the main continents (dealing with several archfey), and have just rescued Olixia from confinement by her warhawk uncle who has been named her Regent by the Council of Nobles after a dead noble (a PCs uncle) was resurrected and reclaimed his position and others were swayed. There's a good amount of politics, and while right now they are dealing with a menace of Giants in the Reserve the Wood Elves had claimed of the Imperium in the past, trying to flip votes of on the Council of Nobles is high on their list of things to do.
