Duke of Booidea

Booidea is the 25th largest duchy in Long. Its lord in FD 5 is a 23-year-old man who was chosen as the central figure of a rebellious faction. He is a young face (face of the future) supported by a number of older, more powerful and more seasoned peers.

Some of these are "fair weather allies" who support the Booidean faction (as it is sometimes referred to) but who are cautious about "sticking their necks out." They will only openly rally behind the cause after they are satisfied that conflict will end in their favor. Some are greater risk takers than others. Many are hesitant to take up arms, but a significant victory would sway them to come out and openly support Boodiea.

Booidea was married to Isanophise at the age of 13. Isanophise is the daughter of the Duke of Coluber who is lord of the kingdom's largest duchy. Many in the Booidean faction see this as a sign that Coluber is ready to back Booidea if and when open conflict erupts.

In addition to his prominent political position, Booidea has built a court and a capital known for its innovation. These include automatons, astronomers and contemporary philosophers and artists.
