Morek/claims

Overview

This is the report of claimants for The Order of Morek. (these are RP, IC claims, not game mechanical claims)

First, claims are legal reasons for just ownership of a title. Anyone holding a claim has a right to the region they claim, but may be legally or factually overpowered to actual ownership. These are guidelines to categorize claims, they are not arbitrary attributes a character "has" or "has not" rather they are summaries of a far more detailed RP reasoning. There are also some claim types that may not listed. They are also not a checklist to run through in order to legitimize your in-game claims.

As the player of a character, you are required to list your claims here inorder to fairly press your claims in-game. This is a means for other characters to know who they have to compete with inorder to press a claim.

Types of Claims

There are many types of claims and some are weaker than others. These are written in shorthand for practical purposes. They are as follows:

• Interest
  • Interest is nothing more than your willingness to rule a region. You should only have 1 of these for any region you have a claim for and only one within the entire realms list of regions.

• Not Interested
  • Willfully avert to the idea of ownership, this negates a claim, but can be reversed at any time.

Feudal and Secular Claims

Feudal/Secular claims are usually very strong. They are associated with political prowess and power.

Owner De facto

If your rule a region, you have a claim to it, and very strong one. This is based on a might is right principle. This claim is self evident and does not need to be mentioned.

Knight

If you are a knight of a region, you have a claim on it. The claim may very in strength. This claim is self evident and does not need to posted.

Overlord

If you are a duke, you have claim to any land within the duchy that you have not personally given in trust. The same goes for the grandmaster to ducal rulership. This claim is quite strong. It it means to posses power of appointment of a region lord within your domain.

Appointment

If you have been appointed to a region and are not yet the lord, you have very strong claim to it. This depends on just who is appointing you based on their feudal relation to you.

Personal Nomination

If someone nominated you to a lordship, you have claim to it. These are usually very weak, but get stronger with the influence of the nominator and the number of nominations.

Elective Nomination

If you are nominated by election, you have a claim as strong as appointment. It is not likely this will ever occur.

Inheritance

Inheritance claims are very strong. These are held by relatives. (IC RP bonds, since the BM is not set up for familial relationships.)

All relatives receive a claim when a person abdicates or is killed. The strength of relations are as follows. If the top person is dead, you restart the list from that dead person and only proceed down the list if there is no one on the entire list of the next dead or non-existent person. For this reason distant relations do not need to be displayed (cousins, uncles, grandchildren)

• Eldest child
• Child
• Spouse
• Eldest Sibling
• Sibling
• Parents
• Eldest Bastard (adventurer, if inheritance is accepted, becomes noble)
• Bastard
