Castle King & Queen & Guards

[_0AfTeRsHoCk0_]

Damnit I'm late for the party, oh well anyways here is how feudalism goes...

The Monarch (King) owns all the land in Graal. He hands the land out to his noblemen.

The noblemen get a bunch of knights, and make them swear homage and fealty to them. This means they are obligated to serve. THe knights usually pay this homage and fealty to them nobleman in a ceremony (which I think would be cool for Graal) They defend the land the nobleman has and in exchange the knights get a piece of land

Now, the knights get this land given to them by nobleman and FURTHER divide it, giving it to peasants. The peasants work the land for the knights, so they can buy armor and equip themselves for battle. And here is where it gets interesting

Theoretically, the Monarch controls all, the noblemen command him. However, many noblemen go to war with each other for more land and the knights fight the wars for them. So the knights that have sworn homage and fealty to the nobleman must go to war, BUT some knights swear this to more than one nobleman (for greed reasons of course). Same thing goes with peasants. Peasants can swear to more than one knight, but when it's war time they must decide...

If we had this feudalistic system it would make Graal really really really interesting. Like going to war almost every day would be the ultimate RP experience. We should have merchants and blacksmith guilds too for economical purposes.

And Dante, Tybalt is Prince of Cats, not king of cats
