[x] Mikrodrakon You followed your father in his campaigns against the Paucilian heretics. While your tutors taught you words and letters, it was at your father's side that you learned what truly mattered: how to hold a sword and wield it true, how to command a man that he might die for you, and how to use your intelligence and wit to break your enemies before you. You learned the art of death from a master, a man who painted hills and valleys with the blood of his foes, and it stayed with you. You grew up with the armies, ate with them, ran with them, and trained with them. In time, you became something of a mascot to your father's army, more beloved to them than the man himself. Should you ever come to lead them, the men of Byzantium will certainly cheer the return of their Mikrodrakon -- the 'Little Dragon'. (Start with Army Support, Increased Military Stats, Decreased Diplomacy Stats, and Increased Infantry Command skills)
[x] Blessing of Saint Gabriel The Archangel Gabriel has ever been the saint of diplomats, of healers, of great speakers and the fine of tongue. His blessing has followed you from childhood, or so they say in the streets of the City. No matter the situation, you have always found the right words to say, the right turn of phrase to make enemies into friends or settle ancient feuds. Your tongue is silver and steel all at once, disarming foes and winning supporters in the space of minutes. (Greatly Increased Diplomatic stat and Speech skill, as well as a bonus to all diplomatic/charisma rolls)
