Elayne von Valancius: Rogue Trader Character Building ask game
[24.]
- Does Elayne place value in how her protectorate sees her? Does this sway her decisions at all?
She absolutely does. In her life, Elayne always cared about her subjects and subordinates, and it actually goes way back at being a part of the Talon Sydnicate.
Directing a relatively small secluded cartelle of the organization, she knew almost everyone personally and bonded with members of her crew. Being a co-manager beside her sworn brother, together they’ve established a highly effective chain of command to ensure everything goes out smoothly so every and each link wasn’t compromised. She sees mutual trust as a gravely important aspect for her staff and she wants to trust her people in return, so she’s doing everything to gain it. If something is rarely going not according the plan or her subordinates are not satisfied with something, she would improvise to get an outcome which leaves both parties happy.
So I think of course she’d carried that knowledge with her. Running a Protectorate on a much grander scale may prove more tricky and overwhelming than running a small organization for her at times. But she tries her best at being a head of the dynasty, to know what people would like to hear and want, what priorities to get into, and of course to always approach thoughtfully, seeking compromise in questions that stand before her and the prosperity of her Protectorate. It’s a thing that she’s familiar with. So yeah, that’s it.
