EXAMPLE VASSAL

---

House Bannister

House Name: House Bannister

House Words: "Teach a man to fish, and you've lost business."

House leader: Count Bywin Bannister, 35

Seat: Tiger's Pride

Nation: Luska

Family members:

Boanna, 35
Byrion, 18
Baime, 17
Bersei, 17

Summary: House Bannister rules over their seat of Tiger's Pride as the owners of a modest trade city. Having existed for a few centuries, the ruling family has had a large hand in making their city a profitable investment for the nation of Luska, and has thus secured the support of House Vyre to this day. Many merchants come to the area when Zarasai's ports are clogged, or to simply enjoy the different variety of goods available for purchase. As such, there are frequent meetings of culture and the taverns are always full and merry. Due to House Bannister's focus on trade, their army isn't the best, but they've found that relying on Free Companies (or a quick plea to Zarasai for troops) has been a mostly reliable course of action.

Modifiers:

"Gold Sure Is Shiny": +2 Economy, +1 Logistics

"It's Not Like We'll Be Invaded": -2 Army

"Spent It All In One Place": +2 Castle

Point Allocation:

Army: 3 (-2) = 1

Castle: 1 (+2) = 3

Economy: 2

Espionage: 1

Logistics: 1 (+1 Modifier, +2 from Economy) = 4

Loyalty: 1

Navy: 1

Culture

House Bannister is a fair example of what most common nobles or average merchant barons can do with the right amount of money. Situated on the coast, and with ample focus directed to their markets, the city of Tiger's Pride boasts a noticeable economy for its small size. Occupations in the city involve all kinds of merchants, fishmongers, pearlmongers, and otherwise. With a forest behind the city and roads that travel north to Zarasai and south to other Luskan cities, House Bannister is able to also transport lumber and other forest goods to its trade partners. A number of taverns are frequented along the docks and in the city proper, and there are temples dedicated to both Artis and the faith of Salka. Most denizens of the city are socially liberal, though most also recognizes the value of money.

History

Bywin Bannister is the most recent Count of a long line of noble knights who have a savvy for trade. Though he does not consider himself a "merchant baron" due to his knightly association, many past rulers of House Bannister have stepped over the line and back again, which has created a bit of confusion in their citizenry. Regardless, House Vyre was quick to recognize the Bannisters for their penchant for making money, and offered them the seat of Tiger's Pride as a trade port. Over the years, House Bannister has been able to build the city up and keep it growing. They've invested in a stronger infrastructure to ward off potential enemies, and have maintained a small army and navy to respond to minor threats.

Army

(5000 x 1 = 5000 soldiers)

The army of Tiger's Pride is a small, but well-trained force. Given the city's solid economy, the troops are outfitted in chainmail and half-plate. The army is comprised as follows:

500 Knights on horse (lances, sword and shield)

500 Knights on foot (great weapons or weapon and shield)

1,000 Pikemen

1,500 Soldiers (great weapons or weapon and shield)

1,000 Bowmen

500 Cavalry

Navy

(1:4 x 1 = 1 heavy ship, 4 light ships)

The main heavy vessel of Tiger's Pride, "The Claw" functions as more of a novelty than an actual war vessel. In historical times, it's been recruited to serve Luska against the Boteri or the pirates of the west, and somehow has survived through those conflicts. House Bannister claims four other light vessels mostly used for troop transport and trade, though in times of war they can function as skirmish ships.

Fyremage: Also, we are on a drive to recruit new members to really try and kick this thing into high gear. Please feel free to spread the word. Sept 21, 2017 17:43:44 GMT
