![[north 2.png]] # Chonis Oligarch and Competent Fanatic - Lieutenant is Genuine Republican akin to a Military-Oriented Cicero Tier 2 # Politics id="Oligarchic" value="1" /> !-- [[Olypos]] - genuine republican --> # Dialogue [[Olypos]] [[Chonis]] on the [[Senate]], [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Garios]], [[Arenicos]], and [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Rhagaea]] > "From the birth of our empire until only 100 years ago, the [[Senate]] chose the emperor. The [[Senate]] could remove him. Any emperor who went against the [[Senate]] was a tyrant. We were remiss in our duty. We thought of wealth and trade, and we did not assemble as often as we should. The emperors began choosing their children and comrades to follow them, and we acquiesced." > > "You have seen what happened in the past 100 years: we have had some good emperors, some bad ones, and some lunatics. A strong [[Senate]] is the only reliable barrier both against tyranny." > > "[[Arenicos]] was a good emperor, all told. But if he indeed named [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Rhagaea]] [[Pethros]] his heir, and that is not just a lie, it shows that even the best of men may be seized by madness. The daughter of the former Padishah? How do we know she won't just serve us to her people on a plate." (the [[Darshia-Cnty.]] Empire) > > People like [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Garios]] [[Comnos]] hate the [[Senate]], calling it corrupt and that it blocks any change. He would have the army proclaim the emperor. I respect our men; I would even call them heroes. But they are easily enough swayed by a ration of free wine and a good speech. Letting them choose the emperor is the rule of the mob." | ![[nicasor.png]] | !-- Nicasor. Gruff but very competent fanatic, [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Lucon]]'s faction.
