Description:

After a brief and glorious civil war, the land of Odrium is under new
management.  The new King has given you one of four fiefs, trusting in
your ingenuity and leadership to control your Dukedom while he concerns
himself with his own land.  But those who win power at the tip of a sword
can lose it just as easily, and a wise vassal always prepares for the
downfall of his lord.

Take control of one of four Dukedoms in Odrium.  This game will be a
relatively free-form political wargame.  Political intrigue, armies, and
economics will all be necessary to stay afloat in the turmoil.	The
possibilities are endless; no hard-and-fast rules exist.  If you want to
start a business, invent a technology, or explore a new land, simply
convince the GM that it's possible, and then make it work!

Free-form and literary are two important aspects.  GM is influenced by
Tolkien, Orson Scott Card, Terry Pratchett, and standard fantasy norms.
Turns represent one month, and will happen every week, on average.  As
many sub-plots and machinations as you have time for will be allowed.
Spelling and punctuation very highly valued.  Game starting soon.
