advy A finds stuff and makes a deal with advy B to sell to noble A? how many items do you want?
How can that be worse than Noble A is cousin of Noble B and /always/ supports him to death. Financially too, might serve him as knight or forfeit income to benefit him. Occasionally it also says things that Noble B was supposed to say, in strange possession phenomena. Like a hive mind.
That is why my noble is leaving Kindara as soon as it can. Way too many two-character players. Not that I have anything against them, I just don't want to play in such conditions. It forces the "play two characters or play at a disadvantage" line of thought.
