Current Resources and Stakes:
A pretty straightforward question, as far as the Resources go...but maybe a deeper choice that it may seem? The "pot" to be shared between all the Houses that decide to choose "Pass and gather Power" is 3 Power tokens for the first Dilemma of each King; whatever is not shared will stay there for the next Dilemma, together will all the power spent by the winning faction for the current Dilemma.
The Army posted:
Recruited by the Dukes and Marquises but under the direct orders of the Council, the army keeps peace and order in the kingdom. The Council’s strategic orders are executed by two generals: the High Commander, who reports directly to the Council about external threats and commands the army during wars, and the Royal Marshal, who leads the King’s Guard and intervenes in case of riots or other internal troubles. Only a minority of the soldiers are regulars: most of them are conscripts, men and women called to serve in times of need that go back to their homes in times of peace.
The Merchants posted:
They are entrepreneurs who run commercial activities and finance trading expeditions. They generally have a large income or fortune that they can rely on. To pursue their commercial interests, the merchants of Ankist unite themselves into local guilds. They don’t usually behave as a united faction, because the various guilds may have diverging interests, but they periodically elect a Guild Master or Mistress, who is considered neutral by all the guilds and speaks to the Council for all of them.
