Intelligence
Foreign Affairs (28)
Knowledge of the public discourse and political scene of other countries.
- Bonus: Pressured
- Penalty: Cheerful, Willful
- 10: You study the fundamental foreign relations between the Nafrisians and their nearest neighbours. Ispana has been a reasonably steady ally in the past two centuries. The Edelfelt empire has been your most implacable rival. They most recently assisted the Duchy of Euterpe in securing de facto independence from Nafréce about fifty years ago. The United Kingdom of Alba is neutral.
- 20: Dreading a repeat of the Sixty Years War and the Rouran Invasions, the keystone of peace between states for the past hundred and fifty years has arguably been an unspoken agreement to maintain "balance of power", a situation where no one country can overpower all the others, meaning wars, when they inevitably occur, will at least be short and limited. Since the advent of that system in the west, Ispana has declined in power despite its many colonial holdings while Alba became a united kingdom, created an empire of its own and took their place at the table. Located at the crossroads of the continent, Edelfelt maintains a larger army than either but has generally been losing territories over time. In the east, the balance of power is generally a matter of the Rouran Empire matched up against everybody else.
Foreign Intelligence (14)
Knowledge of ongoing secrets and activities that rival countries try to keep from you.
- Bonus: Angry, Pressured
- Penalty: Afraid, Cheerful, Yielding
- 10: Of all of the kingdom's rivals, the Edelfelt monarchy is the most important. They have a reputation for intrigue and opportunism, which they see as a more elegant and less barbaric way of resolving disputes and advancing interests than on the battlefield. Currently their military is still focused on the Republic of Sonico as they hold out hope of reincorporating them into their territory.
Internal Affairs (29)
Knowledge of the goings on beneath the surface of your own dominion.
- Bonus: Angry, Pressured
- Penalty: Afraid, Cheerful, Yielding
- 10: You learn about the basic forces at work in court. Aside from the royal family, there are those clerics, nobility and even commoners elevated in rank through civil service termed the New Nobility. The Old Nobility, whose power is based on feudal land ownership, are mostly divided into thirteen ducal families, including the breakaway Duchy of Euterpe. The Great Church in Nafréce over which the Great Pope has influence, also holds land and wealth. Finally, there are the commoners. None of these three "Estates" can be discounted in politics.
- 20: Unlike the strong feudal heirarchy centuries ago, rank and social class are no longer infallible indicators of wealth and power. A monarch must always be aware of the realities behind titles and positions. For example, the Duke of Voile's family had (like most of the duchies) their powers absorbed by the crown centuries ago and now only owns modest estates in the mountains - less land, in fact, than some wealthy commoners. Yet, they are still accorded the full pride and dignities of their noble title and their position on the line of succession is quite high. In the south, great dukes retain most of their legal powers. Among the three, Duke Henri of Dolet is the only duke who still has legal and hereditary military responsibilities. Despite not having ever intermarried with the crown, he could be said to be the most powerful duke. Yet even he is not considered as powerful as the Count of Kerzein whose position as your Prime Minister grants him great influence.

Law (14)
Education in the current legal codes of Nafréce, its ancestors and even the law of other realms.
- Bonus: Pressured
- Penalty: Depressed, Lonely
- 10: The general principles of Nafrisian law are mostly founded on a sometimes conflicting amalgation of Orgein imperial law and theologies from fifteen centuries ago (mostly in the east) and customary laws and traditions (mostly in the north and west). The last attempt to update and unify the code was eighty years ago by Louise IV. Despite this, legal procedures, codes and application of law differs greatly between different duchies and counties as most of it is held over from the middle ages when feudal rulers wrote and implemented them.
