# Neretzes
Clan of [[Drosios]] [[Neretzes]], the Old Emperor, who Died at the [[Battle-of-Pendraic]] - Aristocratic Close-Minded Blowhards - Traditional Legalists
Tier 4
> "The [[Neretzes]] have always upheld the law, upheld order, and made sure that the best people are the ones in charge. So that's what I'm doing now. The quality of blood will always show itself. Look at [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Garios]] [[Comnos]] and his scoundrels. Play to the mob. Who are [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Rhagaea]] [[Pethros]]' people? Nobodies. She's a jumped-up adventuress. Anyway, [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Lucon]] [[Osticos]]. He's from a good family, you can't deny that. He knows our laws and respects our laws, and you know he'll keep up standards."

[[Penton]] [[Neretzes]] on [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Garios]] [[Comnos]]
> "Ah, yes. He's a scoundrel, that one. Years ago, I led an army against the Sturgians, to subdue them and return them to [[Imperial]] tutelage. Well, to make a long story short, I wasn't given the support I was needed and ultimately our army came to grief, although we inflicted many casualties upon the enemy. Well, [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Garios]] mops up their depleted force and then claims he rescued [[Calradian-Empire]] from my incompetence. Can you believe that?"

[[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Garios]] [[Comnos]] on [[Penton]] [[Neretzes]]
> "Ha! [[Neretzes]]. He took an army into the [[Sturgian]] woods and got himself ambushed and his army wiped out. I had to scratch together a new army and managed to surprise them when they were laying waste to the lands around [[Lageta]]. [[Neretzes]] will no doubt try to blame the defeat on someone else and take credit for my victory, but ask any soldier who served under him what he thinks of [[Neretzes]]' leadership."
'Chara' [[the-Wanderer-(Imperial)]]
> My family had debts, so I signed up to be a soldier under one of Old [[Neretzes]]' kinsmen. I guess I always liked men's work more than women's work. The legions took hill women as scouts but I was never the hidey-sneaky type. So I did what I did to be in the spear line.
>
> Dressed as a man, of course. Weren't difficult to do. Not hard to fool men. Bound my breasts and watched where I pissed. It was easy.
>
> Then one day our commander led us into an ambush. **(See Dialogue tree above for more details.)** The apple doesn't far fall from the tree, you could say. I didn't see the battle but was part of the rout. That was the end of army life for me. Don't care for glory-hounding lords leading me to my death. But I still like to fight.
