If memory serves, we actually do have an old law saying that no one can have more than one position at a time (marshalship excluded)...Leofric had to step down as General when he became Duke of Hatdhes, for example. I think we just forgot about it when our noble population both spread out and dropped around the time we took Azros.
I like how we're theme naming our duchies after their historic realm bases :p Too bad we ran out of respectable ideas after Azros and Ortedail. You can almost see everyone thinking "We are not calling this duchy the Soliferum Peninsula..."
Yep, that is about it. I think Kindara had about 50-55 nobles about the time of the Azros takeover. We have just as many regions, with 65% of the character base. That is one reason that I don't really like the splitting of Duke and Margrave. Without an estate one can't be assigned to the army, which makes things somewhat more difficult for the marshal. It isn't a problem that is unique to Kindara. I don't know if Arcaea has lost people, but like Kindara, there are too few knights for all the estates. I really don't think it's productive to split up the positions from any standpoint.
Hah, yea I thought that. I hope we keep with the same theme. Personally, I'd like to see Hatdhes be named for Nighthelm, and Masahakon, as the capital, be named something unique. Naming is one thing that I really like about the new Duke/Margrave system.
