Political Intrigue and Court Decisions

Holding court is just the beginning. Players will address petitions, settle disputes, and make decisions that affect the lives of their subjects. Your skills in diplomacy can be just as crucial as military might. Build relationships with neighboring powers, forge alliances through marriage, or cleverly manipulate rival factions.
