I think we were more discussing the general case of promoting your own knights, rather than your specific situation.
Ahh fair enough, quoting me threw me off
Our trader was made a duke, btw, and I din't see any problems being created by that. Not yet at least.
And he gladly takes orders from a Lord and walks into land where there are hundreds of Zuma?
With regards to promoting knights, I tend to believe that eventually a new one will come along. If not, then just poach one from someone else. So promotions are put forward where they're due. My characters have different thoughts on "where they're due" and I try not to let OOC things pollute those thoughts.
