![]() From a practical stand-point, the chaotic use of widely varying titles among the populace prompted all manner of disputes and feuds and threatened the authority of the Lords. However, the Lords carefully insisted there was no established order of precedence or seniority, preventing the formal establishment of an "old guard."Īhghairon proposed the establishment of a nobility as both a matter of practicality and of diplomacy. In some cases, they retroactively acknowledged a longstanding claim, allowing the family to date its ennoblement to an earlier date. In the Year of the Cockatrice (1248 DR), the Lords of Waterdeep recognized the merchant gentry, marking the formal beginnings of the Waterdhavian nobility. In some cases, such claims were based on the awarding of nobility to the familial line by another sovereign realm in others, such claims reflected the aspirations of a powerful family with the means to demand such honorifics from their neighbors. Since the founding of Nimoar's Hold in the Year of the Curse (882 DR), wealthy merchant families in what is now Waterdeep have claimed the mantle of nobility. Today, there are eighty-five Waterdhavian noble Houses, each with heraldry properly registered and approved by the Heralds. ![]() Such recognition usually only happens at the encouragement of the nobles themselves, although the Open Lord Dagult Neverember flouted this tradition and ennobled whom he pleased, primarily those who had "purchased" the nobility of another Waterdhavian family. Their nobility is a legal status, one which grants them extensive privileges, and one which must be registered and recognized by the Lords of Waterdeep. The nobles of Waterdeep do not rule: they do not make or enforce laws. These nobles are not the military families of so many other nations it is only fitting that the greatest mercantile city in the North should have an aristocracy derived from its most successful economic adepts. The nobility of Waterdeep is a merchant prince aristocracy. I've been over 50 dwarves for a few seasons now (currently at 68 ) but no mayor has been elected.- Danilo Thann, circa 1367 DR Nobility of Waterdeep ![]() trying to manage without a manager is tough but i'm almost there, currently at 44 dwarves! (Also I build a retractable bridge roof over the fort in case any flying undead come near again! )Įdit 2: No luck. Is there any way I can get my nobles screen back? I think this happened because I only had a child for awhile.Įdit: i'm trying to stick it out until a mayor is possibly elected at 50 dwarves to see if that will fix it. I can't appoint a military leader because my nobles screen is simply blank: Problem is, now I've got an undead Mosquito Woman harassing my peeps, but I can't create a military because I have no military leader. It wasn't easy going from 20 dwarves to 7, but hey, my fort was alive again so I didn't mind. I had them break down a wall to get in the fortress, they managed to take care of the mantis and get everything started again. He was stuck in the fortress with the Mantis, (I raised the drawbridges too late) and I was just waiting for the kid to die and my fort to be over.īut then, migrants arrived. Half of the land is haunted, and I had two Giant Undead Mantises kill absolutely everyone except one child. My fortress ( ) went through some heavy stuff.
