  Charter of the Suzerain
The Suzerain of Sloth is a society of desert nobles joined for the goal of spreading the word of the All-Father and His faithful companions.
The Suzerain of Sloth was originally a crusading army sent into the burning wastes to guard against a return of the Irekei menace, widely known to be responsible for opennig the Chaos Gate.
The Chronicler is the historian of the Suzerain, responsible for keeping track of the history and events that have transpired to provide a sense of continuity between the present and the past glories of the Suzerain.

Suzerain, a term of feudal law, is now used to describe persons or states in positions of superiority to others.
Suzerain has been defined as Qui possde un fief dont dautres fiefs relvent (Litir and Dictionnaire de lacadmie francaise).
But it was used in France to describe a feudal lord, the supreme suzerain being the king.

 History of the Suzerain
Twice the long watches of the Suzerain were interrupted, once by a war of aggression wherein the Suzerain attempted to conquer the entire desert and the second was due to the growth of decadence and the general decay of discipline throughout the Empire.
Though the Sirdar is a recent addition to the Suzerain, arriving shortly after the turning, the Suzerain has long been apart from the Mother Church and in fact all of the western (or petty) kingdoms.
The Suzerain are generally willing to offer their services to any of the Mother Church who request it, but reconcile themselves to being seen as barbarous by those who have long forgotten what it is to fight at the borders of the Mother Church's influence.

 "Covenant" by Robert I Bradshaw
In the case of suzerainty treaties the vassal was bound by an exclusive relationship with the suzerain.
The deities of both the suzerain and vassal are called upon to witnesses and enforce the treaty.
If the treaty were to be broken the suzerain could declare that act as the agent of the deities and attack the vassal kingdom.

The Suzerain coerced the aid of Gailet and Fiben to act as race representatives during the Uplift ceremony.

 Suzerain Review
Their philosophy seems to be that you should get a brief, vague overview of the rules, then plunge into a game, not knowing completely what you are doing, and then read the more detailed rules whenever you get stuck.
Suzerain's rules have the scattered, disjointed presentation created by their "plunge in" philosophy.
Suzerain has a good feel to its progression; with serfs providing more cards, leading to knights, which allow battles and keep the serfs under control.

The content of treaties is reasonably well-known to us from a wide variety of sources, as are the arrangements for periodic renewal and succession in the event of one or other ruler dying.
In some of the surviving treaties there is an obligation on the vassal to visit the suzerain annually to renew the vows, and it is possible that this underlies the requirement on the Israelites to assemble annually at the great festivals.
Law-codes were established by rulers, partly as a genuine move to structure the national life of the people, and partly to establish their own credibility as a wise leader.

Suzerain is a French term indicating superior rank and authority, more or less synonymous with the ambiguous and much used English word, lord.
The effective power of the suzerain was based on the recognized Medieval principle of customary law; namely, any practices that become "customary" have the force of law.
When the suzerain hears the appeal and enforces the law he has reduced the autonomy of his colleague and advanced his recognition as suzerain.

 I Corinthians 11: 26   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
A "suzerainty treaty" is a treaty of a suzerain, an overlord, made with a client-king.
The examples from the Ancient Near East show that the suzerain set the requirements, stipulated the obedience and made promises of aid and support to the under-king.
This translates into the spiritual realm that our Suzerain is the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ who bore our sins and has provided his personal righteousness when we first trusted him and which the Father imputed to our account.

 Atonement and the Revelation: Levitic Covenantal underpinnings
It included a summary litany of the benevolent deeds of the suzerain the treaty enforcer, a litany of benefits to the vassal in protection and favor within the suzerain's hegemony, the stipulations binding on suzerain and vassal, and sanctions of blessings or curses for obedience or disobedience (Anderson, 1993).
If the vassal had grievances against the suzerain, these appear in a covenant litigation-appeal to the suzerain to redress the grievances, again listing the former benevolent deeds of the suzerain, and lamenting their departure.
The eyes of the great king or suzerain represented judicial sharpsightedness, particularly when many of the great kings of the 3rd to 2nd millenia BCE were regarded as divine incarnations.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ecclesiastical Tenure
These requirements had to be repeated as often as there was a change in the person of the suzerain or vassal.
It was as passive fiefs that many bishoprics, abbacies, and prelacies, as to their temporalities, were held of kings in the medieval period, and the power thereby acquired by secular princes over elections to ecclesiastical dignities led to the bitter strife over investitures.
These passive fiefs were conferred by the suzerain investing the newly-elected churchman with crozier and ring at the time of his making homage, but the employment of these symbols of spiritual power gradually paved the way to exorbitant claims on the part of the secular overlords (see INVESTITURES, CONFLICT OF).

Thereby, on January 23, 1719 after purchase had been duly made, Emperor Charles VI decreed that the counties of Vaduz and Schellenberg be raised to the dignity of principality with the name Liechtenstein in honor of his 'true servant, Anton Florian of Liechtenstein'.
In reality, its prince merely became suzerain as well as remaining sovereign lord.
Until the end of World War I, Liechtenstein was closely tied to Austria, but the economic devastation caused by that conflict forced the country to conclude a customs and monetary union with Switzerland.

As my “Suzerain” or “Sovereign”, God offers me limitless rewards (in the hereafter, not in the present) in exchange for serving him.
But, Knowing HE is HOLY and worthy of being Lord and I am not is a great reward in itself to be called HIS child, then all the other benefits are extra.

 Suzerain
Suzerain is the second card game in their rapidly expanding range and concentrates on the building and maintenance of feudal empires.
Suzerain is heavily reliant on card play (in fact the whole game is card based, without even a die in the box) and the system is crafted cleverly enough to keep the game rolling for a couple of hours.
To achieve the necessary variety, there are over twenty types of cards which will enable you to build your dynasty, defend it, take down your rivals and suffer or benefit from some uniquely medieval events.
