House territories

[Marburg]

To me, the bottom line is that Orkney has never been a part of Bretonia.

Any argument that Orkney (or Lewis for that matter) belonging to Bretonia simply because they share the names of a couple of Scottish Isles is an empty one. Edinburgh is in Bretonian space, Lewis is under total control of the Gaians & not subject to Bretonian laws, & Orkney is simply the buffer zone between the houses.

The 'Crown' never gave two toots about Orkney before, & now that it's center stage, they want it & I personally like the RP potential that is on the horizon here.

It's completely IC for the royalty to suffer from a bloated sense of entitlement & make all sorts of empty claims, but I think that we all know this quote:

"The more you tighten your grip Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers."
