Well, I´ll tell you something about our game. There is a Wizard (myself) who
is trying to make a new realm, and for this purpose he need more source, so
he has decided to get the unclaimed from Brosenghae. There is the third son
of a cavalier from the Witchhaven dinasty who wants the Rulership over
Eindel (a fictional realm) for himself, the third PC is a Priest of Haelyn
who Rules the land, and the fourth is instigating a war against Brosenghae
because he is the regent of the guilds.
I don´t know how your players feel, but BR is one of the few campaigns who
aren´t straightforward, you can intrigue, move armies, rule the land, etc.
If I were you I would stress Role Playing his underlings so the get more
involved in politics, and maybe that alliance can be tempted, put NPC who
can help one or another PC to gain control of all (well at least it looks
so).
Actually my Mage has few regency points, and has only a dagger +1, but the
feeling to say a peasent or a soldier that I´m Dietrick Galen, Court Mage
and Master of The Red Guild overpass the feeling of weakness (lvl 3) and the
lack of Magic Objects.
