Baron

"For surely a king is first a man. And so it must follow that a king does as all men do: the best he can."

The Baron is the proclaimed ruler over Ravenheart and all of It's citizens & nobles. His will is law. His duties are to order around the authoritarians of the fort, including the Meister and Censor while also issuing decrees that may drastically affect the fort in various ways, be it changing the trade tax for the Merchant or overthrowing, or expanding, the power of the church.




 * Remember… you’re in charge here. Your word is final – no one should doubt what you say or refuse to do what you tell them to do... Rebels – to the dungeon. Heretics – to the fire. Evil spirits – to the church.
 * In all honesty, you’re a pretty lousy fighter. You haven’t done a hard day’s work in your entire life – your skin is pale, your bones are brittle and your hands are smooth. Never let your bodyguards out of your sight and your life will be much easier – and safer, no doubt.
 * Don’t forget to give people orders – as a noble, you were born to order people around. Without your guidance, the commoners will lie back and remain idle – they say idle hands are the Devil’s. Make the Esculap and the Serpents boil healing potions – make Servants light all the torches in the castle and prepare food – have the Cerberii patrol the castle.
 * Don’t forget about your advisor, the Hand. Neglecting his advice would be very foolish.
 * Family – a holy cause, as the good book says. Take care of your wife and children – after all, your heir will take your place on the black throne when Death comes to claim you. See to it that he is not an incompetent clown.
 * In these dark times, people have turned to the Church and Jesus Christ for salvation. Remember to pray and go to church so that Christ forgives your sins. Despite your faith, remember to scoff at and scold your subject’s superstitious beliefs.
 * Keep your Jester in line. No, seriously!

The Raven Throne
To truly assert your dominance over the fortress – in addition to controlling the local Inquisition and the guard – you have your magnificent throne. It’s beautiful.

When you sit down on the throne, a special tab will appear – this allows you to issue a decree that the commoners shall hear through special terminals. Remember to use this – a good decree can save dozens of lives, including yours.
