The clan's leaders are more likely to keep the company of border raiders and scouts than senators in the capital. [[Crotor]] has backed [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Garios]] [[Comnos]] in the civil war, largely due to his innate sense of loyalty to a fellow comrade-in-arms. "My people are the people of the hills. Up here, we watch out for each other. Your life and wealth depend on your neighbors spotting a [[Battanian]] raiding party coming your way. My people like [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Garios]] [[Comnos]]. They trust him. I'm not going to spill their blood fighting for anyone else." # Politics [[Crotor]]'s family, the house of Dionicos, has taken charge of [[Calradian-Empire]]'s northwestern defenses for generations.

"Phaea is a noblewoman of the house of Dionicos, traditional wardens of [[Calradian-Empire]]'s frontier with [[High-Kingdom-of-Battania]]. Like her mother, Lysica, she has trained to fight and to lead men in battle, so that the frontiers can still be defended when the clan patriarchs are away at war."
