KR Allegiance System

If a household aligns to a land, do the members of that household count as vassals of that land for the purpose of benefiting from land cards, performing land tasks, etc.?

If a household aligns to a land, do the members of that household benefit from the land's banner?

Do households remain aligned from one month to the next unless the leader of the household specifies otherwise?

- No. If a household is aligned with a land, than that land will gain the benefit of that household stacked upon the lands benefit. So if both the land and the household rank 1 which is +5,+5... than that land then becomes +10,+10, and the household stays +5,+5. The household is choosing to lend its strength to a land instead of increasing its own strength. Anyone can benefit from land cards, but only the lords of lands receive them to give out.

Soooo a rank 1 household chooses to "fortify" allowing them to have the strength of a rank two, giving them +10, +10... or they choose to align with a land instead strengthening the land by thier +5,+5. Why would a household choose to align instead of make themselves stronger? RP reasons, opportunity, good favor from nobles, noble backing, the natural benefit from having strong allies, political positioning, etc...

- The household must declare thier alliance with a land each month.

1 Have in attendance at least one of each of the following: Scholar, Physician, Alchemist, Smith.

Do these tasks require four separate people?

In this case is the definition of person to mean the character or the player?

For Land Tasks which reference "non-aligned" characters, do members of Fortifying Households count as non-aligned, or does that refer solely to characters who are not participating in the system at all?

It refers to those who have not yet declared thier allegiance to a land or household.

As for the land tasks, they are not written to be loophole free, thus we are depending heavily on the lords/knights not abusing the spirit of the task. The spirit of the tasks is to improve the atmosphere, give players a little something extra to do and create fun and involvement. So yes if you look at some of the tasks you can think of clever ways to say that you completed them without actually doing any of the above. People who would do that are not the kind of people we should have put in place as lords and knights. As such I don't intend to close loopholes with wording on the tasks but rather trust that the people in charge of recording the completion of these tasks will do so with honesty and with the best intentions of the game in mind.

As a Squire to the Barony, and obviously a member of House Arkanion, how will my responsibilities conflict? Can I align my house with a land, and still serve the Barony?
