Marias Notebook
These notes are what Cardinal Francesco Maria keeps with him on the Affairs of State campaign.
People of Interest
Brianna Servant Lass and friend of Emelia, the prince's caretaker. She is engaged to Lars.
Lars works for Charles Goddfrey, who is a rich banker (who maria thinks is part of this secret organization.)
Tarn Wayloch is a weapons manufacturer that can't get to the dirk order because he is making one thousand spears and short swords of low quality.
The first investigation
- Maria will look into Charles Godfried.
- Reft will look into "employment" opportunities with armies being mustered
- Fransesca will...
- Duchy will look into Tarn Wayloch about his order for swords.
- Malcom (intelligence guy) will look into relationships of the people of interest, and will look into associates of Charles Goddfrey.
It looks like the weapons will be ready in 6-8 weeks or less, based on Duchy's inquiry.
Maria's meeting with Charles Godfried
Questions:
- What options are there with escrow for my investment?
- What sorts of returns can I expect?
- What sort of assurances can I get that my money is safe?
- What types of investments does your bank make?
- Is your bank in any dealings that may put my investments at unusual risk?
The meeting with Charles went well, and he is looking into the feasability of getting Maria into the social organization. Money is stored in 4 vaults in the city. Also, there are plans for the dukedom to "evolve" to someone who is just a bud at this time.
Party
Prince Edwards isn't the center of attention. Tata and Chada (sp?) seem to be key figures. What is the Triad of Power?
