  Liegeman of the Prince
  A true liegeman shows his support to the Prince by contributing.
  The Principality of Ulek has long been a prosperous country, thanks in great part to its trade with other
  nations.  However, the current war effort has drained even the plentiful coffers of the dwarves.  Prince
  Volimar Corond recognized that new funding was necessary for the Principality's needs.  Therefore,
  during his stay as Prince, he decided to enact an optional levy upon the populace, calling upon those who
  are willing to help out their country in need.  In return, the Prince offers special consideration to those
  subjects who have shown themselves to be generous and loyal liegemen.  The current Prince Olinstaad
  Corond, while rescinding the “War Tax”, has endorsed the Liegeman’s Bond.
