Have you thought of adding an Allegiance tag for settlements?
While many settlements will be truly independent, others may have (or owe) allegiance to a particular group or power.
p.s. Sites of worship or power may also have allegiance, in this case to a god or some other power.
Could the existing Oath tag cover that same ground? Or does “oath” maybe feel too specific a word? I’ve been using it occasionally to indicate allegiance to things besides other steadings.
Reuse is great and, in this case, I think you’re right about ‘oath’ being too specific.
Lol, just noticed how that reads. What I meant is: Reuse is great and I think you’re right about ‘oath’ being too specific – no ‘in this case’ about it.
