You had great plans for Greifswald, ones that would involve redirecting it away from its feudal lords and into a state of your own creation. There should come a new bureaucracy, a central tax system, the money of which could go to a standing army of salaried soldiers, instead of relying on your own private men-at-arms and those of your vassals. But for now, you should make certain things are to be run smoothly and securely.

One of your new duties involved holding court audiences where all people of the realm could come and petition you for redress of grievances or seek justice. The halflings who live in the moorlands, the peasant representatives, the nobles seeking justice against each other—the list went on and on. Some monks came to collect donations for a hospice to be built along their monastery. To which you gave some.

You found the experience to be one of outright boredom; if this is what you would have to deal with as king, you would have striven to reform something much earlier.

Late in the morning, just before midday, you were petitioned by a group of canons, priests, and other clergy members who were seeking to ensure that an "agreeable" candidate was installed in the now vacant diocese of Rittersbach. In exchange for "campaign funds," they would grease the gears in such a way that a bishop subservient to your interest would be elected.
