Q: Jurgenschmidt's coat of arms = Royal Family's coat of arms? A: Nowadays yes, but in the past, only the king used it. Q: Most duchies, loosing in the civil war, are located in the east. Why did Ehrenfest stay neutral? A: There was a solicitation from Frenbeltag, Zausegas and Berkestock to check on Klassenberg and Ahrensbach. The previous Aub Ehrenfest was bedridden which hindered him from making big decisions. After Sylvester became Aub Ehrenfest, his mother Veronica strongly supported Ahrensbach. But he also could not turn his back on Frenbeltag, since he married Florencia from Frenbeltag, and his one sister having married into Frenbeltag. Since Sylvester could not make up his mind, he made the decision to stay neutral. Q: It seems like the Royal Academy is located on a snowy mountain. How far away is it actually located from the Sovereignty? A: The Royal Academy can only be reached using the transfer circle, so I will not specify any distance. The size of the Royal Academy equals that of a small duchy. Q: Looking at the map of Jurgenschmidt, besides Ahrensbach, are Haufletze, Klassenberg and Josbrenner at a sea as well? A: Yes that is right, but the sea is shrinking over the time for those duchies. Due to Ahrensbach having an open transfer gate, the sea does not shrink. Q: The ranking between duchies seems to be there to prevent wars between duchies. If your duchy has a low rank, does that mean, you cannot go against higher ranked duchies and listen to every demand of a higher ranked duchy? A: Every case is different, but going against higher ranked duchies may have a bad influence on raising ranks and gathering information. In the worst case, the archduke in question will be called out at the archduke conference, and parents of the children committed said dismay, will be summoned to receive punishment. In the Royal Academy, each duchy treats one other openly and there are no fears of suddenly being attacked due to rank differences. There might be some small delays, e.g. on logistical level, if the duchies are not on friendly terms.
