King Steppengard
King Borgon Steppengard
In the year 982 a new king, Steppengard, came to power in Dassen. He had no siblings, and had formed alliances to keep the nation stable, but to further ensure that there would be no more wars he established the Council of Nine. All major matters of policy must be voted on by the council (often by proxy), which gathers at Steppengard’s castle in Bresk . Each Lord and Lady has one vote and the King’s vote counts as three. Cooperation is ensured by an agreement that the rest of the Lords will combine forces to march on a Lord who breaks faith with the Council. The Book of Eight Lands still grants its boon to the current rulers of each of the old kingdoms, and to the king of Dassen himself, but it no longer officially dictates the line of royal ascension. Steppengard had a large family, with eighteen children as of last count insured by his oath, to ensure that he would be able to pass down his throne without further wars.
Steppengard is an old, experienced warrior who has a reputation for preferring negotiation to combat.
