B1 I should be emperor and Esteroth will provide the means for me claim that right. I will squeeze it to get those means faster.
B2 The Church of the Holy Spirit shows the way for men to live correctly. I will support Hierophant Lyons in his conversion efforts.
B3 Knowledge is the fruit of civilization, but money and power are trunk and branches on which it hangs.
B4 (Nobless Oblige) The rule of the many strips society of its strengths. I will bring law to this province by making "King" Leomedes swear homage.

Pretty much what you would expect. Social skills are high and gray.
