Surely their oath's are not to him they're to his parents and older siblings the current heads of the house, hell he's not high in his own house which makes him the odd candidate compared to others.
He is a baron on his own now. If you didn't have anyone sworn to him directly he wouldn't have that rank. If he was just part of his house has forces he would still only be a Knight not a ranked individual. His family house are one of the strongest Ducal Houses around he has separated his own forces from them that's the only reason he has his rank. The current minimum to achieve Baron rank is to be able to field 25 Maniples that is 125 Knights at least. His family is able to field at least 50 Maniples or 250 Knights all the way to just under the Royal House minimum of 625 Knights. So even if his forces we're counted in total under his family house they are still sworn to him directly.
Remember Durin no like.
Nah I can see us loosing it because it gets melded into the super trait.
1. yes
BAHHH both are sooooooooo good.
You can still get the knights buddy. We will just ask Asgard for some trainers and possible the high council for financial assistance. Just join the rogue trader side.
Asgard is busy with their own training. It is going to take a very long time and resources if we try to send them our trainees. They're not going to send anyone to us we're going to have to send people to them. Which like I said is going to add decades to even getting the first set minimally trained, and then even longer before they're ready to be deployed. Sigmund isn't going to be involved in the training because he is busy getting ready to lead one of the branches or take a higher position of leadership with the Aesir. Time is always something that is at a premium and in limited supply for us. if we want to give the trust the best possible chance we need to have as many advantages for it as quickly as possible. The knights help everyone the Trader only helps us. It would also no longer be a part of our forces they would be Asgard's forces. They are the ones who are going to be training and equipping them so they're the ones were going to take control of them. The Trust still gets them we just don't except in war like we normally do with Knights.
If he could boost our AM and EM income I would be over it in a heartbeat as that tends to be our main pain point. But Sigmund with that +20 to training rolls is big for getting the training done. And more so depending on what other areas he can train people in.
1. it would be the house of Rotbart, and on both Avernus and Asgard. Currently a sitting governor from another world can become a Marshal but is bared from taking the position of Lord-Marshal
...mmm that seems like telling em to go commit suicide TBH.
it's not like they're going to be on their own they have the support of their allies and our own forces on the planet and in the region.
I don't want to be constantly sending out people to help them fight off Dragons they wouldn't otherwise need to deal with if they just stayed in the city walls.
1. would require negotiation but probably
They are going out taming the land for us and protecting our cities yeah let's just leave them to die when a force powerful enough to take out a group of Knights shows up. There is no way that can backfire and snowball into a major issue if left alone (sarcasm).
No I'd just rather nobody need go outside the cities to die unnecessarily at all. When that force strong enough to solo a knight turns up (aka pretty much any dragon) I'd rather they were inside the walls where they get a lot of bonuses.
No Knight would go alone they fight and go around in groups. These are also people who know the dangers of Avernus. They aren't stupid and they would be building keeps and fortresses within reach of both the cities and each other. So it would take a very powerful force to overwhelm them. You are also underestimating the power a Knight in the hands of a skilled pilot can bring. So I doubt just any dragon can solo a group of Knights because they never fight alone.
