Characters

Characters in SotE represent important people that can't be realistically represented by pops, such as kings, high nobles, prominent mages, important merchants and generals. They can own buildings and influence decision making of agents (for example, by being a councillor in a city council agent). They're also capable of acting on their own volition, entering relationships with other characters, ordering construction of buildings, pursuing magical knowledge and playing the dangerous game of politics.

Personality Every character has a unique personality, influenced by its culture, religion, race, upbringing and family traditions.

Families Generally, characters are a part of a family. Every family has a set of traditions representing its unique history and societal expectations, which influence personalities of family's members. As such, when a child is born, it joins the family of its parents and as it grows up traditions of the family push the child towards certain traits.
