Just wanted to write a quick kudos to players and staff involved in Cordor's dissolution of its previous government, the destruction of the government structure itself, and the coming rise of noble houses to power. It's a refreshing change of pace for the settlement system and I think with it comes great potential for both personal character stories and large-scale events.
I don't know all the behind the scenes, but watching the rise of poverty in the slums, which lead to provoking the historic tensions between Cordor and the Banite congregation, which ballooned into an assassination and most of the government resigning, and now has transitioned into an entirely new government structure forming? I think it's such a great example of DMs and players working together and bouncing off each other to lay down an interesting narrative. And there's certainly much more tension and story to come. Kudos to everyone who's been a driver of this.
Democracy is dead!
