How Many Good Lords Do You Have, Anyway?

Just what the title says.

As a top strategist, I'm forced to keep a pond full of my lords alive just to save my own skin, and I've managed to talk my way out of trouble again today without capsizing!

A chaotic age, heroes rising on all sides, and the feel of a serious alternate-history drama.

A career-driven male lead with no interest in romance. The lords include men and women, young and old. Expect all kinds of bizarre, spectacular love-triangle situations.

I'm just trying to earn enough to eat. I sent out my resume in bulk, and, by some tiny accident, I was good enough to get N job offers. (Shooting a sincere look your way: Pew pew!)
