BLO | Grandees of the South
Culture
Clothing
The fashion of the Grandees is to always appear with their rapier at all times, just in case a duel should break out. In addition, the men wear large, feathered hats, lacy jackets, wide silk collars, and shiny buckled boots; the women have enormous hair, often decorated with jewels and feathers, with tight corsets and exquisitely patterned dresses.
Military
The Grandees live in grand, sprawling manors in the countryside, maintaining a small unit of a few guards and drawing levies from the peasants on their land.
Urban areas of The South boast an unusually well-organized, well-armed and well-trained City Watch. In a pinch, the Grandees can pull from the various Watches to make up military numbers, although the Watch recruits will likely be highly resentful of this (not to mention untrained in core areas of combat, such as logistics and the tactics of a large-scale battle).
