This is just an idea I’m toying with, but i figure before i put up a write up I’d check with my fellow dukes first.
The idea is a loosely organized cabal who’s primary weirdness is the passing on of items.
These items reflect each individual’s past achievements and life.
I’m struggling on actual Cabal goals, and if it’s actually a cabal or simply a group of people who share storied together…
See these dukes will travel about and go about their own goals and tasks, but during such ‘adventures’ they may come across another ‘worthy’ of their praise. Be it by outfighting, outthinking, or maybe even outrunning one of these dukes.
Anyway, the idea is that out there, there are dukes walking around with other peoples things, that were given to them by others they’ve bested or earned their respects.
I’ve just got an image of two dukes talking in a bar, when one askes about the others new coat. (A beaten and worn leather jacket.) The duke with the coat explains that it was given to him by a man named Warren ‘Fell’ Lewis, who he met wherever.
I suppose that they are kinda like bards, passing on stories, but only their stories. Why they pass on their stories I’m not terribly sure, but I was also thinking on their life expectance droppin to 0 about as soon as they give their item away, whatever it may be…coarse that;s not always necessary.
I think the idea of dukes passing on coats, rings, necklaces, lighters, sunglasses and so on, purely for the reason of their own legacy could be something interesting to play around with.
For instance think of Warren’s Jacket, a PC hear;s something called Fell’s Jacket. THey may very well think it something mystically important, when it could be nothing but the representation of a street thug’s life.
It’s terribly bare bones so far, it’s mostly just as the title implies, an idea. Just wondering what people think. Or have any other ideas to input.
Thanks.

Never read much, i like reading and all, I’m just always on the go….
Thanks for the book references I will have to try and get a look at them though, but what do you think of the idea? Anyway I can formalize th cabal, or do i even have to?
