[X] Plan Fighting Count of Nuln
-[X] Cultists

This one appeals to me the most because it has dad go out like a badass :cool:

-[X] The Imperial Palace of Nuln

I'd like to be in Nuln itself, where all the action is.

-[X] Bismarck

I don't have any real opinions on name, so using EVA's

-[X] Martial: 4 dice
-[X] Stewardship: 2 dice
-[X] Intrigue: 2 dice
-[X] Learning: 2 dice
-[X] Prowess: 3 dice

Decided to put more dice on our skill in leading troops and fighting personally since we'll be likely doing a good deal of it so close to Blackfire Pass.

-[X] Titan of Industry

Having direct control over some of the mines that produce our arms and armor will be very useful.

We are the ruler of the industrial heartland of the empire, so in order to improve upon this I choose to increase the dice in stewardship, more dice in learning for improving the technology, and martial in order to be able to lead the army and improve it.
The combination of greenskins and dwarf-friend in order to have a better relationship with the Karak Ankor
Finally choosing Wissenburg castle in order to not appear as a imperial throne claimant (at least for the moment) and Sigmar to have a better relationship with the Cult and also the Dawi

Hanz is known for smashing his problems with his hammer.
When that doesn't solve the problem he tends to invoke Sigmar to hit the problem even harder.

Bold:
The High Priestess is known to be a bold woman, audacious in all of her dealings.
The High Priestess applies +5 to all dice within their remit. All dice in their remit critically succeed on 100 or more.
 
Hmm, a quick look indicates that of the nobles, Baroness and Baron Toppenheimer, von Kalb, and bon Eigenhof are excellent choices.

For the City Notables, the Grand University, Richthofen Foundry, and Hall of the Great Guilds are all rather good. The College of Engineering is pretty tempting, but the bit about being associated with rebels and a much higher crit fail range are big drawbacks.

And for Priests, only the Cult of Morr and Soll are the purely good ones.

Active Effects:
Nulner
There are three types of people in the Wissenland, those who are from the Province, those who are from Auld Solland and the Nulner.

Provides +1 Stewardship. The von Liebwitz estate includes mines at Dotternbach and Halgerbach.

Adherent of Verena
The Lady of Justice, Verena is the Goddess associated with learning, justice and wisdom. The Cult of Verena is very decentralised which means the greatest power in the Cult as far as the Wissenland need concern itself is the Temple of Verena in Nuln, alas the Cult of Verena is a formidable patron of many of the City's institutions. Verenans are expected to protect all knowledge, though what this means exactly is debated, and to uphold Law and Justice.
Provides +2 Learning. +5 Diplomacy with the Cult of Verena.

Foe of Chaos
Under cover of night Chaos cultists launched an attack on your family going so far as to kidnap Father.

A favoured gift from a dear friend you recall.
Provides +1 Martial, +1 Prowess. +5 Prowess with Blackpowder Weapons. +5 Martial and +5 Prowess against Chaos.

Noteworthy Equipment:
Father's Duckfoot
Your father's trusty three-barrel duckfoot gun is now your own. It is your primary weapon of choice and travels with you.

Bloodbringer
The Runefang of the Wissenland, Bloodbringer exudes a runic effect that tires the foe. You've trained with Bloodbringer and will bring it to battle, but travel with such a relic would be unwise.

Grudgesettler
The Runefang of the Sudenland, Grudgesettler serves as a symbol of legitimacy for your rule in the Sudenland. It sits in a case in the Imperial Palace.

Dwarfen Dowries
A Dwarfen made gromril helm and a steel shield offer significant protection. Their masterful creation, and yet lack of heritage, mean they can be easily brought on the road.

Provides +2 Learning. +5 Diplomacy with the Cult of Verena.

Princess-President in the Making
In the politics of Trantio there are very few dynasties, the Princely families might go decades between taking up the position of President.

Wissenlander
There are three types of people in the Wissenland, the Nulners of the City, Auld Sollanders from across the Soll and the true Wissenlander of the Province.

As such they tend to look down upon, and be looked down upon by, the people of the Province.

Hmm, so we rolled ok for Diplomacy, great for Martial, a little below average for Stewardship, great for Intrigue, fucking critted on Learning :o, and well below average on Prowess. I'm sad about that Prowess roll, but otherwise we rolled quite well i think :)
 
Looking through the Notables, they are gonna be fun to try to herd around for the good of the province. There are some gems there, some pieces of coal, and some just regular ores.

I have to ask QM. How much fuss will be made on those who got the positions and those who didnt?
 
Good point, can we expect any to take a lack of position, or a particular position, as an insult?

At least, as far as we know, given we're not omniscient.
