Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
[X] …The Patriarch of Jia had given her something of a boon and curse, with his little revelation. She had noticed quite a few eyes from the nobles of the thundering hills region on her back tonight. They were southern nobility as well, so their thoughts on her accomplishments would be useful too.

Might as well nab a freebie while we still can. The dance scene was adorable but also brought up some rather repressed memories on my part lol.

The Jia are the county clan most interested in a unified ES national identity, by my understanding. The Meng reformists might be key to the cultural identity we are trying to create, but the Jia will be important for the political side of things. Not only do they have the highest ES nationalist percentage (20%, tied with Bao), but the Cai Loyalist faction (30%) will also be interested in centralizing power.

Of course, this is about the lower nobility of the thundering hills, not the Jia. But I think some focus in that direction will ultimately be necessary, and this is a golden opportunity to start solidifying our base. The full support of the wall will also help with any cloud tribe or white sky diplomacy we attempt in the future.

You know, I do feel bad for BQ. MD just shot out ahead and XS had his own amazing scene under the waterfall to keep him in the running, but poor business-boy hasn't really shined yet.
 
The thundering hills knife fight over roads and things is in a hundred years, I want to have a faction that will put themselves on the line for us, personally, right now as we move higher into politics. The ones that are closest to us are best to have as "will fight for her" perspective too, since contiguous power bases are strategically best.

Plus, I want to give the rumor mill time to work before we feed it more about our relationship with our new senpai.


[X] She would ingratiate herself with the group of foundations region nobles, they liked her best, and could give her a closer eye on how sentiment about the summit was spreading under the ones most effected.

Who this woman and why she talk to Jia Patriarch?

I like how Mang Dan has been going with his courting attempts, since he showed up he has been on the ball and never dropped it.

Xuan Shi has been a bit meh option for me in comparasion, him going to an One Piece advanture on a flying ship makes so much more sense.

Best to manage our own rumours before they spin out of control.

We have a few named supporters in the foundations, like viscount Song. Would be fun to get more from the Hills
