[X][Action] In The DarknessWeWatch


[X] [Surname] Keep Weber
[X] [Coat] A grey flamberge thrust into the ground on a field of black. Grey clouds across the top and a grey band across the bottom, with two cats on the bottom band flanking and menacing a snake under the swordpoint.
[X] [Motto] Unseen, but not Undone.
 
Seriously, it takes a full page just to sketch out that "banner" with clouds, swords, snake and two cats.

Less is more guys. Think of Nike or Apple, or the Starks or Targaryens.
 
Fuck it, I will write it myself:

[X] [Motto] Beware Chance
[X] [Coat] Over a field of black upon which two thin bands of grey form an X there's a grey flamberge, point down, trespassing a coiled snake with subtle horns. The snake is coiled as to resembled an infinity symbol.

There, subtle X for Ranald, grey sword and coiled asp for us. The way it's coiled is can be seen as a nod to the Motto and what we did to it.

A chopped snake looks silly and is hard to draw. This way, we get to abbreviate our coat of arms as a sword trespassing infinity.

Standard actions:
[XX] Rewrite the relevant part of the legal code of Stirland so that the Watch reports to you, personally. (will face pushback from existing Watchmen; will take two turns; the Watch will come permanently under your control)
[X] Investment: Wilhelmina has offered you the limited-time chance to become a founding shareholder in the EIC; the buy-in will be a cool 1000 crowns, but with Van Hal's permission, Wilhelmina has offered you an interest-free loan from the Stirlandian Treasury to cover it, and promises that unless something goes terribly wrong, the dividends will more than pay for it. (NEW)
[X] Knighthood: There's a ceremony, of course. And a number of oaths to make. And you'll have to visit your 'estate'. But gosh. Dame Mathilde. (NEW)
[X] Tutoring: One of your fellow councillors may be willing to teach you in their chosen field (choose who) - Anton to teach you about behaving like a noble.
[X] Final Round-up: You're so close to mastering all the lesser magics. Just one final push and you'll have them all. (NEW)

Free actions:
[X] Consolidation: You currently have a patchwork of useful contacts. Backfill so that you can rightfully claim to cover entire towns. (NEW)
[X] Free Time: Now well-established in Wurtbad, you can spend some time in your scant off hours getting to know someone better. Pick one character. (no action required) (NEW) Talk with your liege more.

[X] [Surname] Keep Weber
[X] [Coat] A greatsword cuts apart a serpent on a gray field. The sword and serpent cast a black shadow.
[X] [Motto] Unseen, but not Unfelt.

We are a shadow wielding grey wizard who used Greatswords to dismantle a criminal organization constricting the life from the county. We also wield a greatsword and defeated an Asp. (Though that's not public). Bonus, there's two "crosses" hidden in there at least.
 
So I think this turn on the Negaverse Stirland Count quest would be one of those turns where the players shout with joy as everything goes according to plan, along with a bit of paranoia about what the various advisers are up to.
