War for the Crown


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Hello,
me and my friends are about to begin this adventure and I had a question about the
noble scion feat.
From what I understand this feat is meant for flavor rather then real abilities.
My only problem is that there are a lot of houses that I cant find almost anything about them which kind of feels weird considering they meant for role play.

In my case want to take house Clement (there ability seems useful) from the list but except of the name of the head and little background there is virtually zero info.

So I would really appreciate if someone could inform me about them,
for example :
rank in nobility
specialization( export, connection ...)
where is and what the size of the territory
more notable members
and staff that can help with understanding better my character.

Thank for the help/

The Clement family appears to be a smaller noble house with lands northeast of the Veduran Forest. "a relatively small estate" its called for a thousand+ year old noble house, interpret that as you will.

The backstory of House Clement is that their forebears acted as guides for the Taldan Army, battling side-by-side against the depredations of the Gorilla King in the Sixth Army of Exploration.

Pathfinder Wiki's remarks on 6 AoE:
The Sixth Army holds the ignoble reputation of having lost the enormous, magical siege engine Worldbreaker to the forces of the Gorilla King in the Mwangi Expanse in 2089 AR, after pulling it from its foundation in Oppara. The Sixth Army, which was composed of thousands of militiamen conscripted from the province of Andoran in 2080 AR, entered the Expanse from the east, via the Ndele Gap in Nex. They only made it as far as the ruined city of Nagisa before they were ambushed by the Gorilla King's forces and massacred. The general at this time was Erestos Marburran. It is rumored that the Army wished to penetrate all the way to Garund's western coast, and thereby conquer all the lands surrounding the Inner Sea. Taldor was never able to fully recover from this great defeat.

With decades of dedicated service and political marriages, the family won entrance into Taldor's nobility along with a seat in the senate. The 6th Army was about 2000 years ago but we don't know when the family was ennobled.

Their head of house and Senator is Zariyah Clement. The GM will have a picture of her and some info in the "Faces of the Senate" article in Crownfall which is my primary source for this material.

Politically, they endorse Princess Eutropia's position, but have not declared support.

A sore spot for Lady Clement, and perhaps for the family is being question on their Taldanity "Lady Clement’s greatest distaste is for those who immediately ask her questions about her about her ancestral homeland or bring up her heritage—she often rejects such inquiries by tersely answering, “I’m Taldan. I’m from Taldor.”"

You might have to work with your GM to build the family that surrounds your character. As a Noble Scion they are probably part of the main family branch so could be a sibling, child, parent, niece/nephew of the Senator.

In my game, the noble scion characters really enjoyed fleshing out their character's families. (We have a Corcina, a Varnisant, and a Zespire)
