Would it suck if I just appointed someone to it? XD
Don't think I'll do that, though, but I'll need to put some serious thoughts into who to support to lord over my favorite city (and duchy's only city).
Yeah don't appoint anyone! Let the election play out. There are some great names on the shortlist; Tybalt, Tratumal, Ulfang, Baulden, and Bipel. Seems Bipel runs for everything and anything these days with the same draft. "I was the Vesperi King, wheeee!"
