Dundarg's Plotter

[Douglas FitzJames]

This will be updated as plots progress and new plots emerge.

Find a Wife 
Being illegitimate, most of the young ladies at court are not available to him, but he might find a daughter of a wealthy merchant or a good family down on their luck. He will keep an eye out for possibilities.
* Spoke to Bridget Osborne at the opening function. She is being cared for by her mother's brother, the Earl of Lindsay.

Make more Friends and fewer Enemies
Douglas's strength has always been his friends and connections. 
* Reconnected with Mountjoy and enjoyed reminiscing about hunting
* Met James O'Neill in the book store and amused him with a quick rhyme. Played wingman for him with Lily von Seitz.
* Met Henry Grey at the Hen's Toes and shared a drink. Suggested Cumberland's forge and how to approach him. 

Acquire more lands, probably Baronies
Baronies in Scotland, whilst inheritable, are also transferable so can be purchased. Douglas could gain more land and titles by buying feudal Scottish baronies. 

Get Rich
Money can sometimes open doors that even birth can't, if not for him then for his future heir, and it can certainly lead to a more comfortable life. 

Sort out Fiona
His half-sister Fiona, always a wild one, is now in a bad situation with a stalker who might be trying to kill her. Also still unwed and probably sleeping with half of court. 
* Find out who has been threatening her and deal with them.
* Get Whitehurst to either marry her or stay away from her. 

Acquire some sort of house in London
Something of his own, so he isn't either bunking with the Life Guards, in the Red Lion or living with his sisters.

Build a manor house on his estate.
Dundarg only came with a ruined castle. Much as he'd love to rebuild it, it would be far more practical to build a more modern manor house, and far more comfortable to live in.
