Powerful Liege
1 to 3 point Merit
You serve a powerful and renowned liege-lord respected (and likely feared) by many. This gives you a measure of prestige in dealing with your liege's vassals and peers, and others are likely to respect (and envy) your position. As a one-point Merit, the liege is a renowned baron or other local lord. As a two-point Merit, your liege is an influential prince or rising star among the nobility. As a three-point Merit, your liege is a powerful monarch, ruler of a vast domain, such as Mithras of London. You are probably required to wear the standard of your lord prominently, which announces you as his vassal to friend and enemy alike. However, the more powerful your lord, the less willing others are to attack you outright.
