I made more progress in Chapter 20 of CeleKing1, neatly making quota for the week. I also spent more time than I should’ve assigning positions to the noble houses of Erdi according to the Si Xiang. You know how House Suzuki was introduced as belonging to Baihu? Well, using the Zhongxin County of Tiandao Province as the center and making a second vertex at the intersection of the Prime Meridian and the Equator, I divvied up the map of Erdi into four parts and then assigned alignments to each of the noble houses based on where their territory fell. It was all sorts of fun for territories that were split across two or three divisions. If it was close to an even split, I’d have the count be assigned to one and the viscount to the other. Otherwise I’d just assign one or two baronies to the secondary alignment. As you know from the prologue of CeleKing1, your alignment determines the location of your house’s estate in the Capital. On the one hand, having your vassals in different sections can result in a weaker position but it also gives you access to more of the Capital. Of course, keeping the noble houses on edge and always looking for new and exciting ways to plot against each other is entirely according to plan.

Anyway, I’ve got to be switching over to TSoA1. I expect plenty more genealogy in my future, but I’m way behind on my translation project and really need to buckle down. We’ll see what I can get accomplished this week. Stay tuned.
