Structure

[Davin]

Ok then if we want to look at it that way, lets get rid of or not start with either the Getham, Roder Families and the Banner Religion

If you want to go that way, then what do you do about the special "features" of these factions?  IOW, who would be the horse warriors and who would be most interested in increasing trade, etc.?  It's possible that nobody "does that" now, which would leave room for them to "rise from the ashes" in the future, but does that leave a hole in the starting game system that nobody is filling but is needed, even early on?
