The method by which the game picks what knights are available to be appointed as lords is a bit weird. It doesn't seem to make any sense at all. Turin, Duke of Gaston Duchy on Dwilight is trying to appoint a lord for Asurbanipal, which was just recently TO'd and added to his duchy. The only choices he gets to appoint as lord are two nobles that don't appear to be in his duchy. Turin's comment from an IG message:
I'm really curious how the system picked these two people (Rey and Terivus) for possible region lords. They're not part of the duchy, they're not in the army and they weren't there for the takeover. It's like it was designed to be the absolute reverse of the old system where the only people who can claim the region are those that have absolutely nothing to do with it.
The following nobles are in the Gaston duchy, and are not region lords:
Reyne, Mordaunt, Varchilde, Tratumal, Syaoran, Alaron, Lazarus
Rey and Terivus don't even show up on the realm hierarchy chart (hierarchy.php). Rey is aligned to Forguthrie, which is part of the Gaston duchy, but does not have an estate. But Terivus is "imperial".
