Talk:Twelveworld Lord

What the Twelveworld Lord is lord of

I am almost CERTAIN that there was some mention of what the Twelveworld lord is lord of and that it's in Prince's Game somewhere. I will find it. Pyrostinger (talk) 01:11, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

In In Extremis, chapter 13, Oviin explains to Jahir: "the title [of Twelveworld Lord] is a relic from the Empire's first expansions toward your space. The north and the east, the parts of the empire facing your nation, they are the densest in population and the most industrialized, because they are the leading edge of the conquerors who wish to claim more territory. The military is strongest in the north and east because the system lords are the most powerful as well. And of them all, the lord of the Twelveworld is the greatest, because those twelve worlds were the first claimed in the north, and they have been built for centuries into a great redoubt. Together they comprise an ancient charge, one with a history that stretches back, some say, to the first spacefaring days. They are rich systems, and strong. Their control gives the Twelvelord a great deal of power, and that he holds them, a great deal of respect." So what it sounds like to me is that it is twelve worlds, but they're not just any twelve worlds; they're some of the most important/wealthy/influential worlds in the Empire.
