Christie, Ruth

[Queen Amedessa of Conté]

Okay, we need to straighten out the role of Sarafina and Buckley. Right now they are just being pretty and having cute little tea parties in the Residence. I have an impression that the two of them would be more involved with the jurisdiction of their city and I have a feeling both of you would be happier having characters involved in that way.

Therefore, we need to figure out something. Since the Navy is based in Port Caynn, that is definitely something we could think of... especially with Amedessa putting her funding toward privateering/bolstering the Navy up against possible conflict against Carthak/the Copper Isles.

Other players are welcome to stick in input for Christie and Nana here, especially if you have characters in Port Caynn.

[Princess Sarafina of Conté]

^^; Yes, I would very much like it if Sarafina had a better job than hosting tea parties.

But rather unfortunately my idea pool is dry, so I for one would much appreciate any input at all!

[Duke Gideon of Genlith]

Off the top of my head, some things that they would be in charge of are

- money for guards/servants/food/Residence workers/other working officials/horses/other supplies/naval academy/officers and sailors/ships/food and supplies for both the academy and the ships/materials for weapons as well as the people who make them/etc. (they would need to find ways to raise money for that)

- they need to enforce tariffs/taxes and make sure that they're all paid by the merchants/traders/etc.

- they need to keep the peace (relatively) in Port Caynn

- the Naval Academy is there, so they'd have something to do with that (I'm not sure what their role in that would be though)

- some naval ships would have to regularly patrol the waters to protect ships from pirates/privateers and to intercept smugglers, so they would probably have some part in orchestrating that

- they have to keep the guilds/prominent establishments/high people happy and try to keep them from sowing discontent and making life hard

Um...that's about it for right now. If I think of anything else I'll put it up. Hope it helps some!
