Parliamentary Summons
A Faction which includes the Chan-
cellor may receive a Writ of Parlia-
mentary Summons. The Faction
retains this Summons, and can play it
at an appropriate time to summon a
session of Parliament. (See Parlia-
ment, page 54.)
If a Faction loses control of the
Chancellor, all the Summonses they
hold are discarded.
Factions may also receive a Writ of
Attendance. Their use also is
described in the section on “Parlia-
ment” (page 54).
Mercenaries Go Home
Finally, a Faction’s foreign Merce-
naries may be called home. This affects
all Mercenaries, except the Scots and
Irish.
