The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Nulle terre sans seigneur was a feudal legal maxim, where no other lord can be discovered, the Crown is lord as lord paramount.
- The principal incidents of a seignory were a feudal oath of homage and fealty, a "quit" or "chief" rent, a "relief" of one year's quit rent, and the right of escheat.
- In return for these privileges, the lord was liable to forfeit his rights if he neglected to protect and defend the tenant or did anything injurious to the feudal relation.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Seignory article was read about 4,700 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 38 and blocks with 23: each hit it takes is cut by 9 %.
