Hundred Kingdoms: Noble Lord

Examining the annals of the Hundred Kingdoms and their noble lineages, it's hardly surprising that the majority of their houses boast robust military traditions. As the grip of the Long Winter loosened and humanity expanded beyond the confines of the Bitter Sea, the Orders found themselves unable to maintain control over the nobility. Before long, the age-old principle of 'might is right' resurged among both aspiring and established rulers. Commanding swords became not just a matter of survival, but a promise of enduring rule and conquest. While the Theist Church's assertion of the Divine Right of Kings has swayed many, the old nobility understands that true power emanates from the blade's edge.
