Since the March Lords are protecting land OUTSIDE the boundaries of Midmarch, in what way does the Council of Peers have any say in whether a March Lord can hold office, UNLESS the March Lords are REPRESENTED with a seat at the Council of Peers?
*grin* You say it is outside their boundaries. They say it is inside.
They have a bigger stick than you do. And you expect to take resources from inside Brevoy to build your Lordship :)
I suspect that DEMANDING anything would be a very quick way to piss off ALL the noble houses very quickly. It would be interesting to see Surtova, Lebeda, Garess, Orlovsky, Lodkova, and Medveyed massing on Midmarches Northern Borders.
The Aldori may not join them and choose to stay at home. In the same way as Midmarch did when the Aldori asked for help. :)
Welcome to Politics :)
If you don't like the terms, you don't have to start a Marcher holding :)
