Hey you guys how are you, anyone have a wife of maybe an open court position I can play? I was going to play Sonje but I'd prefer to play someone with out children yet.. -sorry-. Anyone open, my characters make good wives as well.

Well, you could either take the role of a duke (there are still some free duchies), or as you said, a courtier or a wife.
If you are more interested on a low prestige character, I have one. Look for my posts here and here to have a better grasp of Elizabeth's personality.
If you choose her, I have already made a coat of arms for you, and you can see how she looks too. I have a picture of her in my court. (it is a link in her name)

Id you have any other doubt, send me a pm and I will help you.

Hmm... Barring someone's wife or daughter, you could play as a countess if you really want a female character: it isn't completely unheard of for there to be ]female rulers. Obviously there's always some deference to their husband, but it isn't necessarily a case of the husband taking over if the woman is strong enough.
A dutchess regnant is probably stretching the setting a little too far -- there's still a strong expectation for nobles to be military rulers as well as territorial ones -- but another possibility is rule as a power-behind-the-throne kind of deal, where your main character isn't technically the ruler but essentially is. Alternately you could maybe split rulership between both spouses, but I don't know how strong your insistence is of a female character. smile

If you're interested in playing as a countess, I can add a county to the map: There's a bunch of smaller realms that are just abstracted away for the sake of avoiding a huge confusing mess. It would work especially well if you could get a player who wants to have you as a vassal so I don't have to listen to whining as I carve a chunk out of someone's territory, but I'm not afraid to be the neighborhood bully if I have to. mrgreen

You could carve out of my lands if she wants to be a countess.

Uhm... then... maybe you will have to draw a new county for her.

I have a question too. What's in between Hainaut and Hesbaye? It is 911 and I'm expecting just empty land, but maybe there is a monastery or something. Or woods? Maybe fertile lands I can exploit?

If I can do nothing because they are outside my demesne, then what about the resources on my two counties? what's on each of them? wood, stone, fertile lands?
I need to know what my count can do to maintain his power, and he will need lots of money for that army.

You should either pm each player to set the resources, ot open a new topic about that. I will be trying to find maps that can give us some clues while I wait.

Edit: I came with a solution. Remember Ralph's court was unhappy with him? Maybe she could make a character who self appoints herself as the countess of Hesbaye (make her the daughter of a respected knight or something).
I already said I like to deal with problems, so this is perfect for me. I lose half my lands for staying away for too long, my courtiers rebel and a new countess appears.
Of course my stats will suffer, but let's see how Ralph deals with this.

But I will only agree to this if Sindrellia will be an active player. If she just wants to post once every two weeks, then Ralph is going to grab his army and take his lands back.
Do you agree, Sindrellia? biggrin

It's just various other vassals that aren't on the map since they're not that important (i.e., played).

And research is mostly up to the players. I can help if you haven't been able to find anything, but I should really be the last resort. After all, I usually end up looking things up when I answer a question: I'm not some all knowing machine, you know.

I know my stats would go down, but for the sake of the roleplay i would be willing to sacrifice. I am not so much for winning as i am for enjoying a good story smile
