[Abandoned] The Council of Lords: An ETW Prussian Community RPG
The Council of Lords: An ETW Prussian Community RPG
These past years the atmosphere in the northern Germanies has been tumultuous to say the least. Almost constant peasant uprisings and revolts of minor lords have forced the King of Brandenburg-Prussia, as a last resort to retain his throne, to unite his few still loyal German Lords and concede to them a Constitution. The final blow destroying the King's credibility was the capture of West Prussia by the Poles during this chaotic time. As a result, and much to the King's chagrin, these Lords have pushed this constitutional reform much further than he expected, but he is forced to sign nonetheless.
The Constitution was created from compromise and concessions on both sides to regain control of their land and populace. The King asked that the Lords govern as a unit, thereby giving up all claims, except nominal, over their previous domains. The Lords responded by creating the Council of Lords as a legislative body, controlling all major actions of the King, and, most despairingly for the King, the Lords reduced the King to simply another Lord and retained the power to elect a King from among themselves. Stability has been restored in East Prussia and Brandenburg and now this new government faces the difficulties of governing. You are these Lords, and this is your Constitution:

The law spoke too softly to be heard amidst the din of arms.

Nicely Structured proposal, however there is a rather stagnated line of about 3-5 other proposals waiting to be accepted and created over in these forums.

Oh, thanks. It looked like the only proposal still alive was the Teutonic Age. Do you know what is keeping the proposals from being accepted and created?
