But still, I think you onto something. If after the snakemen war the Faction and the prince are trying to prepare for some shit, we could try to convince the queensmen (AKA our boy Gilbern) to push for our crusade and call for a massive conscription from the noble house, dragging as much of the Prince's forces with us into Ardenne.
But if it came to that, it will be a whole other can of worm.

>>5907670 >>Or people will be weary after a potentially costly and bloody conflict after the foe and will be reluctant to jump into what seems like an especially perilous conflict which has been already been tried multiple time in history and has only concluded in complete defeat for Canton. Oh I don't disagree at all, it'll be a hard sell. However, if the Angelites have spread far enough we'll be able to use them to rabble rouse a little, get people stirred up and outraged. Not only have we gone through a bloody battle against the Snakemen but the DEADMEN sit within our own lands, ruling a place that belongs to the living, in absolute defiance of what is right and just and good. It spits in the face of Cain and Adam and every living soul (etc etc).
And with Gilberns support (great idea btw, I didn't think of that) and a little political maneuvering to make anyone avoiding it seem cowardly and traitorous we might actually get the crusade we've been after.
In saying all that, pitching it like this is a bit too politically savvy for Emile. The idea might need to come from someone else (like Lady Vancewell). She could use it to help consolidate her own power and position and together we rise

>>5907675 Well, with a bit of luck ol' Father in Law might kick the bucket in the upcoming snakemen conflict. Lady Vancewell thus beinghis sole heir and gain the title.
Furthermore, with Montbrun being quite traditional folk, it's quite possible that relatives of Frida come for the position and land of the Vancewell.
And that's where our latter of courting come into play, cuz then Frida can say she was already being courted by someone and thus avoid all possible complication by marrying us and making us Vancewell successor (on paper).
We thus, gain lands, a wife and the possibility of leaving an heir before we go accomplishing our destiny.
Also, something I might have misunderstood. But is Father Towbray a relative of the Vancewell. If so, it would be hilarious as hell for him to office at our wedding.

[Hearty] I think that while I really don't want to risk our best bro Karlaus, since this is absolutely the riskiest option, I think given what I know about him, the most in-character option for him is to follow his brother out into the wastes. Karlaus is a heroic brother in arms-type, not the most pragmatic or the most ambitious person, and while the other two options are ones it makes sense for him to make, I think the one he WOULD make is to follow his brother into danger. He befriended Emile because Emile is exactly the kind of person who would do the same for his kin; that's what they have in common with each other.

The Dragon Guard is not considered one of the Cantôn orders, though many Cantôn knights have served on it alongside an eclectic body of warriors all foreign to Cathagi. A trial may be required to join, after which you are given a sack of gold [2 Wealth] and serve for two years as part of the Dragon’s personal bodyguard. After two years of service, largely sitting around the Crescent Palace from what you’ve heard, you are given as much riches from the treasury as you can carry in two hands [4 Wealth] and your time in the Dragon Guard is served. So yea, 2 year service with plenty of gold to spend, if we don't die of course.

>>5908184 Well, all of these are very good points and all, but our friendship and trust with Gilbern depends on us joining the Dragon Guard and sending information. I doubt we will be the next James Bonds, but we can do the bare minimum. Plus, if we don't have Gilbern on our side, the First Herald will paint a nice target on out back. Furthermore, the Prince is very aware of us and he doesn't like us, especially after foiling his plans. We must cool off for a while and stay out of his reach, let Mother, Sister and Robert build up some favours and shore up the defense, so to speak.
And yes, courting Frida will be a challenge, but lets hope we can intrigue her enough until we return. Hell, if it really becomes too serious, we can always come back, no?

Quoted By:
>>5908201 >but our friendship and trust with Gilbern depends on us joining the Dragon Guard and sending information I'd argue it stands on being more loyal and true to his cause than simply the joining the Dragonguard which many anons have laid as the most obvious way forward, if we were to lay out a plan to say.... sway a powerful and ambitious house to his cause with solid material for reasonable cause he'd likely be on board.
As for doing the bare minimum for the Dragonguard, that's two years for anything and everything to happen and no discernible way to walk away from it if we want to and additionally we will have to not only navigate the dangers of theor politics but the absolute authority and undisputiable word of the Dragon itself if it says "Kill the orphans" we will have to kill the orphans.
the First herald and the prince are a concern and I don't disagree they'll will be issues but they both have larger fish to fry than us, I agree stay off at least the prince's radar for a bit to cool down but that doesn't mean staying Cathaggi.
>And yes, courting Frida will be a challenge, but lets hope we can intrigue her enough until we return. Hell, if it really becomes too serious, we can always come back, no? Again it makes a situation that we barely have a foot in and are already punching way above our weight in much harder and we have no idea what cancelling the contract entails with the Dragonguard entails, it could be death, slavery or something even worse.

>>5908223 I feel we should run some caravans back to Canton at the very least, we mad a fair bit of cash while doing it in Canton and Cathaggi is a focus of global trade so its quite lucrative even when not copperclipping.

There's also a lot of things to unlock from gaining Adam/Cain points. There's also Thorn points, but we should be trying to lose our Thorn points now anyway for Beseeching the Angel bonuses. -5dc for each point sucks man.

if the dragon is as ruthlessly prideful as people are saying theres no way he would allow the aethenium to record the events of those days in honest light, it was his worst defeat he suffered it would be heavily doctored and biased which is why the only way your getting the truth on the matter is from the dragon himself in a private audience where his pride and public image are not at stake
he has a vested interest in either downplaying the events or simply banning them from being discussed in public discourse. as it could easily lead to a second slave revolt or a assassination attempt if people think humans are strong enough to take him out
if you think the info is not worth sucking up to him that's fine not gonna argue that point but I really doubt we will find the truth about the brothers in a cathagi library

<span class="mu-s">Castle Andrei, year unknown.</span>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBsCV9wwbfg&ab_channel=JeffGrace-Topic - Ardenrise It is your home, Castle Andrei, the stronghold and refuge of your noble house these past 300 years since the Night of Three Sisters. The familiar walls loom before you, but the promise of security and home you used to feel is replaced with... absence.
Snow builds in the courtyard unattended, blocking doorways, windows and thoroughfares. Vines, leafless and ashen black, curl up over steps and walls in the manner of clutching fingers. The roof of the keep has collapsed inward like soft-boiled egg punctured by a finger. You cannot tell if the gaping rift in the curtain wall was caused by a violent collapse under siege, or the result of time and inattention. There are no corpses where invaders would have stormed the breach or scaled the walls, nor are bodies where the defenders would have laid down their lives to repel the attackers present. No bodies, or even bloodstains. But for a son of Romaine, the absence of bodies rarely serves as any meaningful reassurance.
Half of the door to the castle lies cast upon the floor, the interior of the castle open to the elements, the other half swinging on a single hinge in the chilling breeze. It is your home, Castle Andrei, but not as you know it.
Inside is only worse.

>>5909480 >>5909478 I think knowledge of them is heresy because if you know about them, then you know about the Sons of Sin and the alternate version of the Book of Brothers. Obviously having that info out in the public domain would be problematic for the church because goddamn son, it doesn't look good.
There are 2 versions of the Book of Brothers, a church approved version and an alternate version. The approved version has 12 passages and makes no reference to the Sons striking a deal with Sin. The approved version also notes that Cain "reaps a bloody vengeance against the Wild" after the Wild is broken at Motte-Fallavon, whereas the alternate version doesn't include the Wild in the reaping and instead references the Sons of Sin.
So the Order of the Chains are likely founded by Cains Ten Thousand. They hunt the Sons of Sin which is something no one can know about because it directly contradicts the Churches version of events for the founding of their own faith.
For reference from Thread 16:
I Salve Reginae Raises Her Sons in the City.
II The Sons Preach to the People and Defy the Slavers.
III The Sons Escape into the Wilderness.
IV Salve Reginae is Tormented.
V The Almighty Appears Before the Sons.
VI The Sons Return from Exile, The Seventh Son is Crucified.

VIII The Sons Lead the People Across the Sea to Cantôn.

legitimate questions on the nature of the church, the brothers and the foundation of Canton, it's exposure as a truth perceived or otherwise deeply challenges the institutions of the Realm.l not just the church but the crown itself and Feudalism as mechanisms of society.
It also challenges the whole "Relics aren't magic" as well since the sons are supposedly strongly intwined with church history if the 13 steps holds true and are clearly not divine.

The other larger ordos do know of their existance.

Trident likely knows since names and them do trade information to keep abreast of threats to the realm.

>>5909588 I think the order of names were more there as clean up and guides for the expedition since there was heavy bluejay and Fey presence in the area the ruins were in.
Not to ay they couldn't be but we get into an area of how many people are party to this conspiracy and how incredulous it might become, the reginate or at least its core peadership is easy, a entire order or two becomes questionable.
Anonymous
>>5909600 The order of names archive was where we first came across the mention of the Order of chains.
-----
There are several rumors of Black Sails sighted to the west and closer each year, the very mention of which appears to terrify seasoned sailors of Langland beyond the usual brand of pirate. The Order of Names has only collected second hand accounts from friends in the Order of the Trident and Given that all interviewees claim no one who sees a Black Sail lives to tell the tale, both you and the author are understandably critical of their veracity.
Finally you come across a deteriorating report, decades old and apparently copied from an even older original. That would put it… well at least as far back as the [-] Crusades. The excerpts list no location other than it took place on the road from somewhere south and east of Cathagi and the Deepwood.
”We came across another Son of Sin, this time we were not taken by surprise and challenged him on the road. Of our remaining party of eight, including three anointed knights, only I survive to report this. He, or rather IT, said the same thing over again as butchered us. ‘I AM AGONY’.
-Sir Paul Rayan of the Order of Chains”
Order of Chains? You’ve never heard of such an organisation. Curious, you flip through a further page before…

>>5909872 Good thing [Idealism] is king and the relationship changes nothing, the brothers still freed the slaves from Cathaggi & the Dragon, broke the Wild and set the standard of what mankind should strive for and the destiny laid out for us.
If the sons of sin exist it is to remind us that even companions of those exemplars were falliable, humanity lives in a fallen world and as such have mortal failings that can only be surpassed through spirit alone, no oratory skill, cunning or strength of arms will provide for you if you do not carry the spirit of the brothers with you, to build a truly better one than the one that exists.

One thing that stands out to me is that even in the uncensored version of The Book of Brothers, the passage about The Almighty is still there unchanged, as far as we know. We don't know what the exact deal is, and barring some good rolls and dedicated effort in that direction on Emile's part, we may never know, but it's entirely possible that the Almighty is a real thing and that the core of this religion isn't just a sham, but instead far more complicated than what gets presented to the public.
Anonymous
>>5909872 >>corrupt the faith or simply a super weapon gone wrong I think given the passages in the Book of Brothers, that's exactly what happened. In both the Churches version and the Alternate version, "The Almighty" appears before the Sons (passage 5 in both). This is pretty important because it suggests that the faith IS real and that there IS a good, holy deity, not just an evil one.
It's not until the Sons have smote the Dragon and razed the city and led their people across the sea to Canton that the bargain is struck with Sin and the Sons are Forged.
This tells me that they were, at the very least, corrupted. But the usage of the word "forged" suggests that the "Sons" could in fact be weapons (or armour etc) with corrupting influence that always take a new host when a host is killed (as we've previously seen).
Alternatively, later on it says the Sons turn to Sin and two Sins are chained and the seventh Son and his Ten Thousand hunt the remaining Sins. So maybe the corrupting weapons/armour are the Sins themselves and the Sons were "forged" by these items being created and given to them. The original Sons long dead but the Sins remaining, taking a new host each time they are "killed" and needing to be chained yet again.
Or I could just be wildly flailing here lol. It's all a lot

>>5909889 I think its fairly interesting to note the timeline of when the sons were forged.
Razing Cathagi, defeating the dragon and freeing the slaves to begin an exodus was not as difficult as the threat to humanity when faced with the Wild.
But when we consider that Ursen used to roam Romani lands, that might mean that large stretchs of wild fae forests must have extended through much of the continent.
Imagine a continent size fallvietnam and the shit it would take to tame it.

>>5909902 Yeah for sure, that would be something to behold and sort of paints the choice of the Sons in quite a light. To be constantly assaulted on all sides and be faced with such a dire threat so frequently, it's not too difficult to see how they failed and turned to Sin

>>590988 STV seems to lean into the silence of god, angels do not announce themselves or actively engage the evils of the world instead they inspire men to fight evil and to be good & righteous characters, maybe the best trick the fallen world or Pit has is convincing mankind that the divine is a lie and it is all sorcery and subterfuge.
>>5909889 >that the "Sons" could in fact be weapons (or armour etc) I think the forging is a bit more metaphorical, magic seems to be an esoteric practice and incredibly potent at even a basic level and who the hell knows what was conjured up from the pit to ''forge'' them.

Emile has clearly gained feelings for Frida, and he himself has acknowledged it, so considering the culture he has been raised in and how courting and relationship work in his homeland, him continuing to tryst after tryst would be out of character.

>>5911479 You referring to thread 8?:
Fenegan, 18th Day of Savrimun, 883 A.C.E, Fair Aubrey, The Lion's Mane Inn - Present Day, First Light
"To arms, to arms. The Foe is at the walls.” You awake to the hushed whisper and shake on your shoulder. In your waking moments you almost forget that speaker is a priest, not a guard, and the words are a ceremonial awakening and not an earnest clarion call.
”To arms, to arms. The Foe is at the walls.” Around you the scene is repeated several times, three other young knights are similarly wakened by a huddle of priests.
You and your fellow knights remain silent as you rise stiffly, having slept in your armour. Over 800 years ago, at this very spot, men not unlike yourself had repelled assault after assault from the walls of Aubrey. Attacks could occur at any moment, if not from the massed armies then from the sky or unnatural fiends clambering the walls as if it were a ladder. Moments of respite were few and far between, and rarely wasted on the dangerous luxury of changing out of one’s armour. Your column approached the Reliquary, half-a-dozen softly humming monks hold candles on either side of you.
”The beasts have breached the walls.” A priest to your left intones in a singer’s voice.
”All is lost. We are doomed.” Another from behind you speaks in a deeper baritone.
”Forsake your vows. Flee for your lives.” One cries from the front. As he does so your column halts
”Is the courage of Man so frail? Do your backs still flinch from your master’s whips? Not all flee, one still stands. And one is all it takes.” Chapter Master Gilles de Moray bars the way through, his face grim. His armour and white garment seem to gleam in the candlelight. His hand thrusts open the door to where you shall stand the Vigil. ”Witness. And rejoice.”

I will fix the Turtlewolfs ear one day, it annoys me every time I post it, just not quite enough to edit it again Anonymous
>>5911487 Also it seems we have been working under the assumption that Adam and Cain were Regina's only sons until the deal with sin, but reading the secret version nowhere is it stated that the others were added later, it's always "the brothers" and "sons" Cain is even referred to as the seventh son before leaving cathargi, which makes me think that maybe the holy mother ran an orphanage/tended slave children taken from their parents, or some such considering the amount of children and no mention of a father or provider.
We really have to ask the dragon about the number of sons pre bargin, or see if we can't find a contemporary source in the library.

>>5911487 I mean it could also just be doomering since the wild (and possibly the sons of sin) struck hard and fast at Aubreys with such ferocity Adam got killed holding the walls.

>>5911535 Law of narrative conservation, we've been given two pieces of information about a far off event thus they have to be related or there wasn't a point in mentioning either.
>>5911492 I don't think they're literal sons, and to me all the information we've seen it seems like they're the unnamed Disciples of Adam/Cain since when we were in the Sin-Pit the pictures of the SoSs were in the same places that we usually see the Disciples. I think it's way more likely that the A & C were in charge of a hardened group of warriors, maybe a shitload of them die at M-F and the last however many turn to Satan to kill Fae and stack bodies before scattering in the wake of Adam's death.

I'm personally very curious about the ardenne. Unlike the others, this locale is one very close to cathagi, there must have been some form of contact or they must have already known to stay away from the deadmen. Depending on their reaction, we might get a clue on how to proceed to get more information during our stay here in the Dragon Guard.

[Hearty] I do wonder if our Grandfather had some fun in Cathagi on his own pilgrimage.
Also, I'm like 55% convinced that it's not going to be a literal Dragon perched on a throne in the middle of a city but more of a symbolic title attached to a very real Emperor, like how Tyrant used to just be a name for kings in Greece and even the term Draconic was taken from a supposedly real guy. It's not unheard of for dynasties to take mythological creatures as symbols or even to refer to the sitting ruler by a specific term, it could even be like the Cathagi/Carthagi thing that being that it's a mistranslation or misunderstanding but it forms a lasting cultural impression

I couple of years or so back I remember a couple of Anons theorybashed Ardenne being the southern entrepot for trade with Cathaggi until its fall, which lead to Pascae gaining it now monopoly on Maritime trade
which is extraordinarily convinent could likely have been the reason it was so wealthy and why their was talk of it secession before the night of three sisters, especially if there were cordial or warm relationships in Cathaggi.

>>5911682 The archers have been teased when we were chosing the cohort that slaughtered the mercenaries on the street and which took the Merchanta. So they seem like tall Africans who specialize in bows. For Azir, I'm not sure. Maybe something Central Asian or steppe like? For Mansipoor, I suppose it could be something along the lines of India or Mughal Empire.

The Merchanta have deep ties with explorers and daring merchants willing to brave the deserts and travel to the far, far South. The sponsoring of such caravans is an extremely expensive, extremely risky and extremely profitable endeavour as such convoys attempt to make their way through the steppes and ultimately cross what sounds by all accounts to be the largest river in the world to bring back invaluable trade goods where even a single wagon of which would make a man as rich as any prince. But of the Azir themselves, Cathagi has no official diplomatic ties save for an ancient Dictat of the Dragon commanding that any of their banished princes that travel to the City to join the Dragon Guard are to not to be molested and granted unfettered access to those prestigious ranks without further trials to test their worth.>Gain BATTERED (+0DC) Status >Injury 'Whip marks' reduced to -2DC

The reason becomes apparent as soon as you exit the tall marble building they call the ‘Skia’ their house of Caste government where the veterans assemble to discuss politics and plan campaigns.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzIjikjFPjE&ab_channel=JamesHorner-Topic - Stratiokas AssemblyThe Field of the Dragon’s Children is a plain that has been purposefully cleared and levelled for this impressive display of military might. Standing row by row in complete silence, helms grimly faced forward and polished spears glinting upwards, there must be scores upon scores of Stratiokas cohorts each with a hundred warriors in their number. Distinguished only by the colour of the cloak and a square banner held at the front of each column, you lose count in the high forties and you were only barely halfway.
There must be thousands upon thousands of them on parade here and untold many more thousands garrisoning vassal states or on campaign in the Everwarm waters, as many as ten thousand or more all said. You had known Cathagi, even in decline, was still a force worth reckoning with but you had no idea though that their core elite infantry line could match anyone of the Cantonian duchies entire military levy. At a nod from the Autarchs the Kyria Exalted Eustace raises a hand in salute, answered by the double clang of thousands of shields upon thousands of spear shafts. As the cohorts moves into marching order in <span class="mu-s">perfect</span> unison, still utterly silent and indefatigable, you feel a hint of dread.
If Cathagi were to invade Romaine in earnest, with the aim of establishing a new tributary like the Everwarm waters, you begin to fear at your people’s prospects of success. Canton itself could splinter, if the Duchies did not unite in time.

>>5912386 >these ‘Bloodpacts’ seem to be entirely heavy cavalry or heavy infantry depending on the banished prince that leads them. Such cohorts may or may not be the mainstay of Azir armies, but Kyria Helena admits with some chagrin the men of these elite formations were uniformly exceptional fighters and almost seemed to embrace death. You are shocked to hear that when one of these princes died from their wounds in the aftermath of the battle every single one of his surviving Bloodpact, more than a score of men all told, committed ritual group suicide. ... Samurai? I wonder if theres any in the Dragon Guard right now. So curious.

>> Directly south of Cathagi, once the arable land finishes, is harsh desert and arid landscapes. Not quite as inimicial to life as the Sahara, but certainly treacherous to all but the nomadic desert tribes that reside there. They vary from Bedouins-types living in tents to formidable steppe hordes, both a threat and a valuable source of mercenary recruitment. Keeping the desert-folk divided is an important ongoing concern for the ancient city that once demanded their vassalage. A show of force to warn off against another crusade. Considering that the entire city saw us endure the harshest possible walk unbowed, they might see us as one would could conceivably rouse a crusade.

A point to note is that this might also be a opportunity for cathagi to ascertain whether we are communicating with our homeland and how. Any sudden bird messengers or couriers would likely be followed. Furthermore this is the homelands of the griffinhawks and they would understand the significance of releasing one and countermeasures to hunt down one.

Also as a thought, after we join the Dragon Guard I bet we'll get a crash course on how to fuck these guys up, being that they're the ones the dragon guard is most likely to fight (Varangians aren't intended to fight Barbarian hordes, they're meant to take on Legionaries)

Couple that with their mercenary services for the faction in Canton and the growing threat of Mansipoor that requires their attention, and I just don't see it.

Also, we need to scour our holy book for mentions of Red Mystery Knights, the SoS all wear Red and seem to not enjoy showing their real faces... Wait, I've just had a brainwave, wasn't there an artifact for one of the Brotherhoods in Canton that replaced their personality with a gestalt of all the previous grandmasters? That could be related somehow, we can already somewhat guess that each Son operates slightly different to one another (Anarchy was Nuts, but Avarice had a deeper cunning about him and is probably whispering in the prince's ear, we're assuming Abyss is running a pirate nation of Blacksails)
Oh, and if we Wed Vancewell, how well is that going to mesh with retaking the Ardennes even in the best case scenario, I'd also love to make some Dragon Guard pals and take them back with us to kill Undead (Maybe we could bait Dragon into sending a detachment with us to capture a Deadman for his amusement)

And I mean a little meta consideration here but this is about the 3rd time (roughly) that Forgotten has asked us if we want to check on her. We can keep ignoring it but I reckon if we go down that path something *interesting* will happen and likely not in a good way

>Thread 32 – “Movement atop one of the rooftops a street or two over catches your eye. You chuckle, shaking your head in amusement at the sight of Jess the Kid perched on the rooftop edge” Jess then goes off on her own again:
>Thread 32 – “…sparing a nod for Jess as you leave her to her own devices.” An in-universe warning about Jess being off on her own all the time:
>Thread 33 – “The Chapter Master’s caution regarding slavers now has you concerned for your archer, Jess the Kid, who has been up to her own devices ever since you stepped ashore weeks ago” >Thread 33 – A post from Forgotten “I will at least give you something to discuss, you have about a week until you are recovered enough to consider taking up with the Norsikaans on the agreed duel.

>>5915267 Historically the king's bodyguard have had immense amounts of power in their court, although I specifically more meant getting a cadre of very talented knights that have nowhere to really turn to after their terms of service other than another term, plus I assume we're not going to really stop preaching anytime soon and as long as we don't start openly saying "Break the Dragon across the Salvae Regina's Knee" then we'll be good.
Retaking the Ardennes would also be a great opportunity for FQM to kick into his Realm builder phase of this quest, and I think an Arc Finale on-top of a volcanic island (or a Formerly-Sunken Land, whatever floats your landmass) killing a Necromancer could be a great deal of fun, along with reclaiming a bunch of long dead cities

I think the Hearty choice will only get us taken advantage of by the cities peoples but whilst I trust Jess we can't just give up when we have such an easily accessible and soft option of asking our associates for help. Owing the Stratiokas isn't a bad thing either, we'll be here a while and developing that contact is a good thing, especially if they can help us right now.

I am honestly quite impressed with the lore recall of some anons here, but I obviously cannot weigh in as to how hot/cold tinfoilanons are in piecing the puzzle together. That would spoil the fun.

If we end up calling in a Favor for the love of god do not call on the Stratiokas Jess is a valuable assest we really should keep away from Cathaggi factions in case we need her skills.

>>5916489 >>If we end up calling in a Favor for the love of god do not call on the Stratiokas Why not? They're friendly to us at the moment. It isn't as if we have to spill all the beans and say "Oh we need help finding a fae" we can literally just describe her and her tendencies and ask for help tracking down where she might be
Anonymous
>>5916490 Their prime loyalty is Cathaggi and the Dragon's interests, questions start arising once we make that request, particularly who and what she is, how she got in this predicament and what is the target doing with her. with every question asked the more questions will be raised and as a spy we cannot afford that, Jess can't either.
and thats not mentioning her own usefulness as a asset to us as a hidden quantity, which she proved in port bounty.
Anonymous
>>5916499 >> who and what she is, how she got in this predicament and what is the target doing with her. Those are pretty easily answered questions I think, even without lies (which would break Emiles vows).
"She is a close companion of ours from a remote region of Canton, as such she is unused to cities and extremely unfamiliar with the local culture here. It appears she may have run afoul of local customs or otherwise found herself in a compromising position. It is very important to us that she be found and her safety ensured."
Not a word of a lie and whilst it would make people aware of her, that's not really a huge downside. She excels in stealth and trickiness, she can still hide amongst the masses and move across roof tops even if people know of her existence.
I'd also add that considering we're here for years, it's quite likely that people will learn of her existence. "So we should delay that as long as possible" I here you typing, sure, in an ideal world. Right now though circumstances aren't ideal, she might be in danger, she might be captured, we need to find her. It's a small price to say.
On top of all that, again, as we are likely here for a couple of years it is important to forge strong alliances and friendly associations. Owing someone a favour is more useful than it seems. People don't scorn those that owe them favours because then the favour is of no use. If we do things for them and they for us, it tightens bonds, we get closer to them and gain more access to a society we otherwise never would. We learn things.
Currently we are nothing more than a curiosity. There is little risk in asking a favour.

Plus it seems to be about equivalent to Crete/Minos and one of those was a volcano that's had an eruption in the last 10k years, although I myself am a gigantic fan of the whole "Sunken world of dead things and scuttling creatures unfit for the eyes of God" trope since I read Lovecraft and Terry Pratchett too close together although based on the fact we haven't heard any hints along the line of "some say Man used to hold dominion over the waters until the Almighty took his land and pushed it beneath the waves"

Also, terrible plan incoming, we kill Avarice to out him as a Pitspawn when he bodysurfs although I have a weird feeling that when they're not fresh off a few centuries of imprisonment they could direct it more (plus assuming the given timeline is mostly accurate he was imprisoned after Adam's death but before Cain left us to fend for ourselves)
Oh, and this is a full Shadowrun I don't even believe myself, but what if Adam wasn't technically a Son of Sin, but instead they all took "A" names to honour him, from all we've been given it kinda seemed like Adam was running things more than Cain was.
Also, idle speculation, Orders are Canaanite and Brotherhoods are Adamant, this is based on literally nothing but a thought I had while pissing and decided sounded neat even though I can pull several examples that can prove me wrong

>>5916455 Giving up and assuming that things will be fine with the Divine option may as well be consigning Jess to a death sentence, Fae are special and rare and this robed figure is absolutely using her as a sacrifice for some ritual. Calling in a favor is an option, but drawing more Comitas attention to our companion might out her as a Fae, which we wouldn't want, and owing the Stratiokas a favor would probably bite us in the ass more than we'd like, especially when we're in an already tenuous situation here with the whole 'being a Reginate spy' deal.

>but what if Adam wasn't technically a Son of Sin, but instead they all took "A" names to honour him, from all we've been given it kinda seemed like Adam was running things more than Cain was. I have the growing suspicion that Adam and Cain weren't Sins, I know it runs counter to the scripture in the ruins but in a way it makes the sins worse, they tried to emulate heaven given power and fell to corruption through either design or hubris.

>>5916583 >a vague answer isn't going to cut why we're asking such a favor moreso if this proves to involve magic or god forbid whoevers involved has the slightest inkling of what Jess is. Exactly why not? Why would it not cut it? Are we supposed to describe every facet of her life? I think it's pretty fair to say "she's a friend, she's lives in the woods, this shit isn't her shit and we need help to find her". That's not all that suspicious, especially in a city of slavers...
Also
>moreso if this proves to involve magic or god forbid whoevers involved has the slightest inkling of what Jess is Where is this even coming from? It's a stretch to say the least. It feels like it would be a massively weird coincidence for their first thought to be "Oh he needs help, this clearly involves magic/his friend is a Fae" like why would their mind go there in the first place? It makes no sense.
>>I never said don't save her, I said don't call upon the favor of the Stratiokas. You're arguing against an easy and available method of saving her. Paying the citizens here money is just leading us to be scammed and taken advantage of and simply trusting in the Divine is... essentially just hoping she's okay and forgetting about it.
>Then keep whatever favor we have and go to the Comitas or someone else to help find her. The Comitas *are* a apart of this option. You could do a write in? Point being though that exchanging favours with the Stratiokas and deepening ties could be useful. We're not a fully fledged spy, we're simple going to report on stuff we see that could be of note according to what we said to Gilbern. So there's no need to go deep Shadowrun territory. We aren't James Bond

Personally, my suspicion is that the person in the mask and robes is likely some kind of magic user, witch, warlock, etc., and one with a particular reputation, given that everyone immediately clams the fuck up when we bring them up. It's likely that if people know who they are, then even vaguely mentioning that they have some kind of interest in Jess would potentially indicate to them that Jess is unusual and not a regular human. This is an empire of slavers, if this robed figure were just a regular fleshmonger then they likely wouldn't be as intimidating to others - it seems like they're bad news of the magical variety.

Also total tinfoilry moment here, the Prince is trying to establish a secular state with a direct rule by the King, with a Son of Sin whispering in his ear about how he could be an Emperor in his own right without some woman chosen out of a nunnery owning half his kingdom especially if the subtext of "The King and Queen have been fighting for quite some time" is true then he probably doesn't like one of them, he hires mercenaries because he can't really trust Kingsmen or Queensmen seeing as how he doesn't just want to be in control he wants to overturn the board the game is played on.
Plus really the thing this era is missing from IRL is the constant threat of the Head of Faith being assassinated, speaking of I wonder if previous Queens have been killed and if they just elect a new one? I assume we haven't had a situation that was somewhere between Henry the 8th meets the Height of the Western Schism, although that does sound deeply funny.
Just to make a statement while rereading, I absolutely love how it seems that to everyone else, Emile is a Schizophrenic Idiot Savant that's either playing the known world for fools or is insanely lucky to the point of unironic divine assistance and no-one can really tell one way or the other

Unless we've been lead falsely on what the Dragon is, the brothers would have had to be potent beyond belief to take it on, sure its not entirely out of the question that they merely were using magic to buff up but its striking then that they are the only ones to be able to lead a true and proper uprising against it.
Also I don't know how much we should hold the ruins to being compeletly accurate but that might be me being overly suspicious.
>>5917831 The Prince inherits the kingsman faction by merit of being heir apparent, I have the suspicion that he's not so much going rogue but more he's the technical 2IC of the faction but his father doesn't care all that much for the Factional politics and as such he just uses it to further his agenda which probably includes finding a equivalent to the magical Arsenal the church has under lock and key which is where the sons or at least Avarice or whatever he is comes into things.

I don't think lore on the wilds or the sons of sin would be from that time period here.

Two things, first we should start fighting masters of the various national fighting types to get bonuses against them seeing as how we're probably going to fight a bunch of them, and secondly we should put our Persuasive bonus to good use sprinkling in the seeds to get a few actually trained soldiers to come with us to retake Zombieland, I'd suggest talking to Kyrie if I didn't think she'd sell us out before we finished (Although her girls would make great bodyguards for our sisters)

Your curiosity piqued, Brother Rousseau holds up his torch for a closer inspection. Unlike the wet rockface on the opposite side of the passage, this side of the room is covered. It reminds you of the depictions of the Passages of Faith in the churches of your homeland. Perhaps this place too was shrine in ages past, a temple to an altogether more material and physical God.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3uWHtUkUoI&ab_channel=HansZimmer-Topic - The Age of the DragonThe first depiction found on the right-most side of the room shows a giant beast that can only be the Dragon, both wings flared out and head reared upwards to the sun. Below him are many, many thin figures bowed in worship. There is one very large group of figures bowing, but also smaller groups of figures to the left, right and bottom of this larger group all prostrate and humbled before their God-Emperor.
The second depiction is more chaotic, similar figures armed with sticks and round shields are pressing down on several other groups of figures armed with a variety of basic depictions of weapons depending on where there group is located. At the center again the Dragon sits, one claw extending to the right and a single talon pointed forward. Beneath his other claw is a crushed group of figures of indiscernible origin. There is a murky mass of something at the very edge of the bottom of the depiction.
The third depiction is less violent, but still alive with activity. A handful of slim figures are knelt before the dragon, most in worship like the first depiction but a line of them bring bundles of… various things, detail is lost here. The Dragon has a claw extended out , you can crudely make out the implements as… a hammer, a spear and… a hoe or scythe of some sort. At the fringes there are depictions of the fingers using these in various acts of industry and agriculture. At the very bottom of the depiction a very few figures are knelt around masses of… something. It is as if the edge of the depictions have been purposely chiselled to show as if there were edges of the map covered by a fog.

The fourth and final depiction on the left-most side of the room is almost entirely covered by said ‘fog’, with a scattering of figures depicted in various states of panic or activity. The Dragon’s position at the centre has not changed, but only half of the creature is visible. A perfect circle seems to cut through them, and where the dragon should be on the other side of the circle is merely more fog. On the side of the circle that the Dragon can be seen, their claw is extended out and the ‘fog’ of the depiction is pushed back as if retreating from it. Under their single visible wing is huddled a handful of the slim cowering figures. One of the figures, slightly taller and distinguished from the rest by standing upright, is pointing their arm in the same direction as the Dragon’s claw.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUjf514uSmo&ab_channel=Amanati - Rogue Medusae Following the moss and other signs of fauna proves to be a wise decision, although the hidden passage you’ve taken does get uncomfortably tight and winding both in height and direction as you press on. While you are confident that you can find your way back, you have no idea where you are relative to the surface anymore.
Eventually you reach an overhanging ledge that opens out over a wide underground pool. Here distant sunlight from a fissure high above the wet rockside offers just the barest illumination to the gloom. Seeing torchlight further down in the cavern below, you bid your companions to put out their own torches.
It is immediately obvious that you have located your quarry, as opposed to some random hideout of bandits. A majlis, a desert style outdoor sitting room, is set up on the far side of the cavern and illuminated by a half-dozen ornate torch stands. The abode is so ridiculously at odds with the underground cavern environment that you suppress a snort, but you suppose a member of the Cathagi ruling caste cannot do without some faint luxury even in banishment. This is where the rogue sorceress has set up camp then, although it is clearly temporary in nature despite the lavishness of the adornments.

If things go well, we might even help her return to her covent, and get an ally in the Rogue Medusae.
Maybe she want to use Jess as a token to regain the witches favours. So we might have to bargain with her.

We also need to get close enough to Jess to break her mind-whammy. By the power of God or the Heir of Ursen we must get our archer back to us.

I think I'll refrain from making speculations at the moment although I will say that it's possible that we are looking at the pictures in the opposite order - so fourth, third, second and first.
If so, the 'fog' could be a dimensional rift from which the Dragon (and this other outstanding figure under his wing) came, eventually gave the dominant culture of proto-Nova Cathagi the means to grow as a society and then led them to conquer other polities.
Yes, I'm dying on the hill that the Dragon is Asgorga. Let me dream.

Such a feat would be a major victory for the Kingsman faction if it were achieved.
Devaluing the coinage of a Duchy through another shaving down and printing their own was a major aggravator in the War of Borders.
>Cathagi vs Canton coinage I'm not sure if I understand the question. Cathagi coinage is invaribly thicker and contains more silver or gold, and all have the Dragon on its face as opposed to Lions, Pegasi etc. We use 'sequins' which is basically just an agreed value and could include both actually currency of different origins and barter goods.
And I sincerely regret leaving the vague Wealth system behind as I could afford to get away with not calculating a lot of stuff. The Cathagi do have a single Imperial Mint which is handled by the Merchanta Caste, of course.

You are close enough to the nearest hooded guard to see clearly that there is nothing behind the turban save for two inhuman glowing sparks where the eyes should be. It reminds you of the wisps in the fields of Motte-Fallavon, but with all their whimsical capriciousness replaced with a baleful focus. No flesh or muscle moves the arms or tightens the grip around their weapons, you would not be surprised if there was nothing at all behind the armour and clothing they wear. The only explanation for their very existence is magik, an ongoing spell of not insubstantial power.

An outsider going around killing their own (disgraced as she is) creates dangerous precedent. Like if a monster falls out of favor and is subsequently killed by an outsider, the outsider still goes on the hit list because he killed a made man.

>>5923947 is absolutely right. This is a Persuade roll and Orator would definitely apply.
So the end result would be 40DC.

Perhaps, we could provide the location/describe the carvings to her as a way of avoiding retaliation. She wants back into her sisterhood and we do not want her ambushing us down the line or worse making a second attempt to capture Jess. I'm sure she would be pacified if we gave her something else to occupy her time. Also, that was a hidden passage we found so I highly doubt she knew about it.

[Idealist] Going with this for now but do we want to go full truth on this one? Not just with Mikail but with Brother Rousseau as well? A confession to the people we trust most, open and honest with them about what they all suspect, and likely know. Jess has traveled with them, shared meals and a campfire, she has kept them safe on more than one occasion and is surely seen as a friend.
It'll no doubt be confronting, especially for our friend Brother Rousseau but I think they'll still accept her (even if it's in that racist "she's one of the good ones" type way).

So I'm going to propose a write in for a full confession here and now with our trusted companions, in the dark, away from listening ears. >"You’re right Mikail… let’s stop a moment. Brother Rosseau, Orin, if you would gather round, there is something you should know. I’m sure you heard the poison spilling out of that witches mouth; the Medusae are not to be trusted. But… in this she was right. Our strange archer friend here is indeed a Fae. I know that is a shock… to some of you at least, and even I struggled with the idea to begin with. A life debt was owed and I couldn’t turn her away, there were times I feared she’d betray us but… she is our friend.

Also, the magic sword we have is apparently called an "empty Blade" whatever the hell that means. Definetly something important from how the Medusa was reacting towards it.
Oh, and "Աքսոր", means exile. Which is weird, because when the slaves revolted, their was no such thing as an exile when our ancestor's almost a thousand years ago were liberated and sailed to found the kingdom of Canton? Whats that all about?

Canton went through enough historical revisionism to fill an ocean, Given the fact that Adam and Cain were likely Sons of Sin, I would honestly not be surprised if it turns out that they weren't innocent slaves to begin with.

The one interesting detail is that the bargain was struck after they arrived in Canton, so we should be asking what exactly that land is hiding underneath the rug.

>>5924202 To give a serious answer it depends on the lensing that gives context to the speaker. To the common Cathaggi they were likely Civilisation destroying barbarians given over to savagery and degeneracy, to the Palace and administrators wholesale criminals.
They might have even been heretics or agents of this fog to the more religious castes and Medusae but so much context is missing its impossible to say.
In the end they were all exiles who stained Cathaggi glory.

>>5924218 Ah right they were seven in total. Still, there's no indication that anyone was a son of Sin before the bargain was struck. Adam and Cain were the sons of Not!Mary, and the remaining five may also have been.

Quoted By:
>>5924223 The bargain was definitely struck after leaving Cathagi, yes. It is still correct to call them Sons of Sin because they were eventually forged as such.
Unless your point of contention is what I said earlier. imo to be forged in Sin you do require something special, not simple willpower - and that is why I said they might not have been simple slaves.
Same for Salve Reginae being not!Mary: history has been warped enough that she could have been a rogue Caste member who wanted her power back.
Personally, I'd suggest skepticism over the past of Reginae and her Sons until we know more.
>>5924224 The writing mentions that the Sons met the Almighty and then kicked the Dragon's ass. Possibly that's the source of their impossible feats but right now the Almighty is quite the nebolous figure.

>>5920111 >"At the very bottom of the depiction a very few figures are knelt around masses of… something. It is as if the edge of the depictions have been purposely chiselled to show as if there were edges of the map covered by a fog." This unknown power appeared in proto-Cathagian records when the empire first expanded beyond the Great City. It was worshipped either in small settlements the Cathagians came across or in covert cults in the Empire proper.
>"most entirely covered by said ‘fog’, with a scattering of figures depicted in various states of panic or activity. The Dragon’s position at the centre has not changed, but only half of the creature is visible. A perfect circle seems to cut through them, and where the dragon should be on the other side of the circle is merely more fog. On the side of the circle that the Dragon can be seen, their claw is extended out and the ‘fog’ of the depiction is pushed back as if retreating from it. Under their single visible wing is huddled a handful of the slim cowering figures. One of the figures, slightly taller and distinguished from the rest by standing upright, is pointing their arm in the same direction as the Dragon’s claw." The entity nearly swallows the Cathagian empire, barely held at bay by the Dragon and a human hero (perhaps representing an elite group? The first Medusae?), presumably using magik. The Dragon is implied to be gravely wounded by the entity (Is this the secret behind it's sequestration in the palace?).
I wonder about the circle too. Is it a stylistic choice, or does it represent an aura or boundary? Was there a source in the center?
The only things I can think of that somewhat resembles what's being presented are the Deadmen. The way the records seem to have been almost supernaturally erased fits with the complete lack of knowledge regarding them in Canton...

Quoted By:
>>5924261 From the pastebin, regarding the Deadmen:
>One wishes that the Deadmen were a plague unique to the lost city of Ardenne in Romaine, though the tales of a similar rot creeping across the foreign realms proves this to be otherwise. Langland mercenaries, always boisterous and ready with a tall tale, hush and murmur with darting eyes of the Black Ships from across the endless ocean to the West. Traders from the cold north speak of warriors of Norsikaa venturing across the World’s End Mountains in search of the famed treasures of legend only to return… changed. >Their fell masters are rarely seen, and rarer still leave any survivors in their passing. More worrying still is that no records of these creature’s existence are present from the time of Adam and Cain, implying that they are a recent corruption. That, or a cover-up of terrifying reach. On all corners of the civilized world, in the dark and forbidden places friend to neither man nor beast, something sinister stirs. Anonymous

On the flipside, Dragon probably formally exiled all the slaves that left for Canton either because he didn't want a bunch of known rebels flooding into his freemen population (The ones that weren't 100% on A&C's plan of "fuck this lizard, we're out of here") and he exiled them, or he wanted to save face after getting fucked up and declared them Persona non grata in the Empire until whatever our First Crusade equivalent was.
Also I enjoy the idea that each Caste was formerly its own civilization that got itself grafted into the Empire.

[Ordo Reginate Network] Our contact is someone from the Aethaneum Caste. I believe meeting him would be wise before entering the library itself, as he can give us insight to the politicks and details of the library. And simply having someone we can somewhat trust in this forsaken city seems good enough. The only thing that worries me is that Ardenne knight who recorded his sigil in the library, but I believe we still have time to catch up with that and it will be easier to follow upon if we have ease of access to all the material and people afforded by the contact.

>>5924824 >>5906654 I'm actually going to be conditional on this one. We spent a week looking for Jess before we got any information of her whereabouts. Did the stress keep us from healing at all during that time? If we did heal:
>While still not fully recovered, you are well enough to call upon the Norsikaans at the Crescent Palace. Northern barbarians they may be, but the issuance of a challenge to a duel was clear. This is a matter of honour, Cantonian honour to be precise. Besides, it will afford you a glimpse at the quarters of the renowned Dragon Guard. [The Duel] If we did not heal:
>You have waited long enough. It is time to make contact with the Ordo Reginate network based in the City. You arrive at the appointed place on the appointed hour as per your instructions from Sir Cato, and make the appointed sign that will discretely let their operatives know you are ready to be approached. [Ordo Reginate Network] The week should have helped to mend the most of our Long Walk wounds. In which case we can beat the norsikaan berserker and make Canton proud. We can followup with the contact at the Aethaneum and make nice with him so we could get access to better books. Bed rest is boring and following up with a couple weeks of reading should give us something productive to do while we recover from our duel injuries.

As someone who is deeply, deeply romantic at heart, if there's one specific vote I wish I could go back and change, it's to switch us to the timeline where we decided to make that courtship roll with Jess after she emerged from the ritual.

>>5925698 depends what fae kissed actually means is it literal interpretation that someone kissed a fae or is it because those whose bloodlines(remember this was a starting perk for fallavon knights) have it due to their closeness to the magical fallavon forest that they have started to develop a magical nature not dissimilar to the capricious fae?
honestly in hind sight fae kissed seems alot better compared too step +1 path of adam or cain that Emile got it eliminates one bad double from from the roll pool and turns it into a success also i find it that we have a always passes double on a roll of 9 from the tower and fae kissed is 99

The vast, vast majority of the scrolls are written in Cathagi, of course. Specifically the sub-language which seems to be a refined variant of the dialect utilised by the Stratiokas. There is no ‘Canton’ language section, and no assistance to common visitors in the form of a transcriber is offered.

I would rather look for books regarding the Cathagi view of the slave revolt of Adam and Cain. Their view on it and their recollection of events, maybe their recollection of the events will bear some differences compared to the Cantonian faith's account. I would also be interested in books regarding the land of Azir or more foreign lands that we haven't heard of, something about the Black Sails too would be nice.

[Remain in Athenaeum] + [Write-in Subject focus] Hmmm, I would gladly read up on Ardenne and the Night of Three Sisters, but I fear any non-Canton perspective will have a language barrier. Instead, we could focus on getting the basic gist about the Dictats and how they are used in the day to day politicking of the Castes, maybe even explore some of the more prevelant ones. Its useful if we plan on Emile becoming a Praetor and it will definitely come handy if we end up serving in the Dragon Court. We could also contact the man Father Towbray spoke with regarding the living member of House Ardenne, should we go that route. Ask him how the man looked liked and such.
Also, let us not "borrow" a book anons, the last thing I want is Emile getting accused of being a thief. >>5906437 Me

[Remain in Athenaeum] + [Write-in Subject focus] The Ardennes, the Three Sisters, those are the things that are most likely to actually be in Cantonese rather than Cathagi, speaking of which we really need to learn another tongue while we're in a foreign land. Anything to do with the Brothers is probably not going to be in a language we can read by ourselves, desu I'm surprised that the Library doesn't have an official service to translate for people that can't read (either period or just whatever specific language something's in), also it's a Library not just a storage depot so there's gotta be some kind of sorting system, not Dewey's but probably a chronological or genre system.

I wouldn't say that they are cultish. It's simply warrior culture, a developed esprit de corps. It's quite a common thing in modern army regiments and brigades, especially the highly elite ones. And the Ancestors you mentioned probably refers to the previous members of the Dragon Guard, especially the ones who died honourably.
>Oh goddamit we're to end up puppeted by the Medusae as a part of it, I fucking knew it. I think it's just the opposite. The Guards answers to the Dragon DIRECTLY, meaning that we don't the middle managment of the Medusae. Besides, it's clear that the Medusae are very aware of this and opted to censor this part of the scroll.

>>5926019 >the Ancestors you mentioned probably refers to the previous members of the Dragon Guard Seems a strange use terminology then, why not just honor the guard/Dragon then? I dunno I guess I'm starting to anxious about since I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop on this trip, everything seems to have been way too easy since we got here, the last leg of the pilgrimage was suppose to be the most dangerous but it and Cathaggi have been a walk in the park.
>The Guards answers to the Dragon DIRECTLY, meaning that we don't the middle managment of the Medusae. There's probably some powerplay stuff going on, without knowing the interior palace set up it could be that while we are supposed to take orders from the Dragon directly the medusae just act as intermediaries and convey everything while isolating and pampering it save for specific circumstances.
Guess we'll have to find out though.
>All in all, I just want to do some JOLLY COOPERATION with some of the best warriors in the world and piss of witches and copperclipers I'm going to laugh so hard if it's full of bloodthirsty savages and copperclippers and Emilles one of only a handful of morally decent characters In it.

>>5926019 Good catch on the censoring. It also doesn't state who his favored servants are. If the Dragonguard are his servants, simply gaining his favour let's you speak for him. I wonder if we could hold this scroll up to a bright light and see if we can make out what was there previously.
Anonymous
>>5926035 It also just hit me, it could also be a test to see if a potential Dragonguard is capable of going above and beyond, and being worthy of an officer posiiton. Just taking what they find or are told at face value keeps them in the lower ranks and the smart ones get promoted to the Dragon's side. Maybe it wasn't the Medusae who censored it...

>>5926615 Anon, the Dragon being in direct power would be far better for the world than the current state of things. It's immortal, very wise and clearly very fond of its people if it fought whatever that fog was to protect them. If we by some miracle found a way to restore it to its former might, I'm sure it'd happily agree to outlaw slavery in exchange, too.
Reminder that this massive, flying beast of immeasurable power found ancient man and decided to nurture, protect and teach him when it would have been far simpler to just hunt him.
Even if it was an elaborate retirement plan for it, the 'muh slavery' argument doesn't really hold weight when it literally seems to have single-handedly tipped tech advancement far enough in mankind's favor that they became the dominant race in a region full of sentient, giant spellcasting monsters.
Slavery is just a symptom of civilization, and while Emile obviously wouldn't think that IC, I don't think we can say that the Dragon is anything but benevolent.

It comes to mind that we should ask if Sons of Sin is a literal 1:1 translation or Emile making a best guess at an older form of Language, after all even IRL in English "Girl" used to mean males or females, it may have been better translated as Disciples or Children of Sin
with the Theory that SR is Anguish I'm also still somewhat focused on why they're Evil but it seems like Adam and Cain weren't, something had to have happened at M-F probably something that caused the Fae to freak out.
Also, after we're done our service I'd really enjoy doing our last pilgrimage in reverse going as hardcore as we can with everything, Another Long Walk, Another Short Walk, Grabbing three artifacts this time, and doing a full week at Adam's Tomb
by the by, sudden thought, if Adam was a SoS by this point, it seems to me like it indicates a limited amount of lifespans that they can regenerate or if you can Morale Kill them into giving up, unless he's just napping in his coffin waiting until Canton needs him most oh, and I'd love to commission a Standard of the most realistic SR we can get made out of a tree from the forest outside The City

May I remind you the brothers fought the Dragon for a reason and ever since then the Dragons behavior has only changed for the better as a lethargic and self indulgent shadow of itself, the only shred of recorded benevolence was sparing Salve regina who it had allowed to be horrifically tortured without it's intervention, if anything it's not benevolent just benign.
>very wise and clearly very fond of its people if it fought whatever that fog was to protect them. Thats some incredible stretching you're doing, it simply found a racket that didn't require it to hunt or fight as often that also fed its own ego and stayed there, Cathaggi is built on generations of countless slaves and atrocities we simply have not borne witness too, in fact the entire nation is just on copium that their own gilded cages are not those who are crushed underneat the weight of the civilisation, going ''muh progress'' undersells the monumental human cost of it that is ongoing and chronic and diminishes that there are working alternatives, You can argue the collective civilisation is responsible but the Dragon has literal word of god in it and doesn't excercise it to end even half the horrors the civilisation profits off of, of which the Dragon reigns supreme over.

It was impossible to see what their allegiance was, their hulls and even sails blurred into a dark haze under the distant red moonlight. The powers that be in Cathagi must have feared the worst, for the entirety of their thousands of warrior caste was deployed in preparation. Even the reports of vassal cities in open revolt at the recall of their garrisons were ignored, such was the Dictat demanding their return to bolster the Nova Cathagi City forces.

[Ordo Reginate Network] Okay, so I have a weird feeling like Abyss and the NotTS are linked, either Abyss escaped using the bolstered power given to darkness that night or caused it somehow to escape(incredibly unlikely to me) in any case, to me it seems like we have definitive evidence that Abyss is the cause of the Black Sails...oh wait oh fuck brain wave, the Black Sails are the remnants of the refugee fleet that escaped after the undead rose up and sailed west to get Cain, they've either found him (deeply unlikely), fallen to Sin in league with Abyss (very likely to me, they even could have been the ones that freed him to serve as a guide), or just stalled out against something worse we've got no clue about. That's why there was still a guy claiming to be the heir to the old ruling family, because he is he's just probably evil.
Also, direct fighting in the palace is a classic, after we get into the Dragon Guard we absolutely need to check their own records of that same event

Can we also bring along copies of our newly discovered Dragon lore rubbings to make a friend of our contact rather than a just a work acquaintance? It will also actually help give us some plausible deniability if we have a reason to keep going back to him specifically for our personal research projects. I assume he is on the level if Sir Gilbern is sending us to him.
>>5927561 Also if we're talking theories, I was thinking of how one might kill an SoS permanently.
Because of the mechanism of their revival through possession, it has been impossible to keep one down, only bound. But what is the requirement for a possession to occur? What is the range of possession? How are we sure a SoS could possess anyone it chooses? My point is, could a SoS ever possess a person who is pure of heart (i.e. no Thorn points)? What I believe would need to occur is single, isolated combat between a Great Warrior of Purest Heart (GWPH) and a SoS. Upon the death of SoS, their soul will have no evil to grasp onto and it will slide back to the Pit from whence it came. I have considered the possibility that a support team using siege weaponry from afar with orders to run away as fast as they can once the Enemy is physically engaged might allow an easier time for the GWPH to dispatch the Foe, but what if engaging with the Creature in any way puts you within reach of it's possession?
This is difficult to test because of the consequences of failure. Assuming our GWPH is even able to slay the Foe by themself, we cannot even be sure they will not be possessed anyway. And if this battle is as isolated as we want, no one would be on hand to bind the newly possessed and highly skilled warrior, leaving the newborn SoS free to wreak havoc with a most dangerous host. The range of possession could also be basically infinite, and find the nearest person not Pure of Heart. Heaven forbid it revives itself inside the walls of a major city, it would spell the end of that Duchy.
That concludes my TED talk.

>>5927561 Well, we know Anarchy and Abyssal were chained, and Adam and Cain are Anguish and Adversary respectively. We know Agony was somewhere last spotted near the Deepwoods. Avarice is suspected to be Sanguine. That leaves Atrocity as the only sin unaccounted for and he is probably connected to Ardenne in some way.
One thing I want to point out is that the Sons of Sins Abyssal and Anarachy were specifically chained, it seems the silver chains are the only way to bind them and prevent their escape.

>>5928180 Abyssal is free somewhere, since the chains in his prison are broken. Where he may be is anyone's guess, but one thing we do know is that he is big and possibly related to the Black Sails.

>>5928183 Yeah for reference, in Thread 30 I have these notes about Abyssal:
"• The previous location of the Son of Sin Abyssal is discovered. Silver chains and black sails are referenced (the black sails include an image specifically of “Black Sails” by Forgotten). Black sails have been referenced to be a terrible thing to see at sea – almost certain doom. The words “Seek. Deep. Into. The. ABYSS” are repeated. "
Although a previous image is titled "Sink Deep" so I don't know if Seek is a typo or it's both or what. As well as that, before the words "Seek Deep" are used, "Sink Deep Into The Abyss" is repeated.
So black sails == Abyssal is pretty likely

>>5928189 The Mural in Abyss's prison seemed to suggest the black sails are the result of some effect transforming people in Abyss's proximity into something and that there is at least some form of worship of it.

>>5928215 Do you have the excerpt of the Mural? It may be useful to compare.
My theory is mostly built on the fact that it wouldn't make a lot of sense if several big events that all happened at the same time weren't related in some way, it's also likely that long-term exposure to Sins fucks you up (based on how Anarchy effected everyone and how much of a prick the Prince is)
Also I'm willing to bet Atrocity is a Vampire or a Lich, based on how much FQM was talking about him in the early threads when Ardenne was first really being mentioned

>SELECTED: A single tarnished piece of metal dangles from the ceiling in front of you, rusted beyond recognition. 13 stones show the way ahead, each one marked with a sail painted as black as night. [Ocean Bounty] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBN56wL35IQ&ab_channel=ASN The first black sail is picture perfect, as fine a depiction of the terrible omen as done by any artist you might find in the places of culture at Court. A particularly morbid one, perhaps, and struggling to work with the raw materials to hand but talented nonetheless. You can even make out the ‘crew’, shaded figures standing silently at the edge of the ship’s railing and staring straight at you.
Sink. The second depiction on the standing stone is somewhat cruder, or at least more abstract. The sail in this now does resemble a fin, gossamer filaments of night spreading out like the sea monsters Sir von Rhum described. Even beneath your growing dread, the inconsistency from the depiction on the last stone niggles at you. All sorts of rumours abound as to the nature of the Black Sails, from haunted undead crews to a monster of flesh and blood but incompressible size. Certainly they cannot both be true, such an answer makes no sense.
Sink. Deep. With start you realise that the depictions of these Black Sails are getting gradually poorer in quality, as if their completion was rushed at the time of creation or selectively vandalised at a later date. The second to last pylon is the messiest yet, but you can make out what appears to be dark hooded figures leaving their smaller black sails to crowd around the central giant sail. As if to attack it. Or in worship.
The ‘sail’ on this last obelisk is little more than a daubed streak of pitch hurriedly smeared across the rockface. The stone is cracked, riven straight down the middle as if it were split by a giant.
Sink. Deep. Into. Anonymous
>>5928253 I mean I get your theory but at the same time we haven't gotten anything tying the sins to the night of three sisters yet, my own theory is that the night was a magical anomaly event which allowed Ardenne to occur and prehaps whatever or whoever pulled it off tried a coup in Cathaggi since Ardenne was practically a independent kingdom in its own right.
Alternatively some Witch or fool tried a coup while on superjuice in the resulting chaos and it got so bad the Dragon got involved.
It's worth noting that in the Fae market table there were two separate knowledge boons that could be bought, one I believe was on the war of the wild, the other was on the Ardenne anomaly, not that I think we should think the Fae know everything but this at least leads me to believe they knew something of the sins but not Ardenne and by extension the deadmen.

>>5928280 Yeah the closest analogy in fiction would probably be the witcher universe with the spheric conjunction that introduced monsters into the world. The whole superstition around these nights every year is a nod to the germanic "Rauhnächte" tradition which is related to the wild hunt. So it's a time when certain passages that are normally closed become open, maybe allowing something to cross over, or escape imprisonment.

>>5928352 I'll do my best since I've been taking notes. Also refer to my comment earlier here for some info:
>>5909527 So, back in Cathagi a really long time ago everyone was slaves. A woman had to 2 sons (+5 others according to heresy). The two best known sons were named Adam and Cain. Adam, Cain and their mother Salve Reginae are the basis of the Cantonian faith. The sons grew up and preached to people to throw off their chains. At some point they had to hide and their mother Salve Reginae is tortured. The Almighty appeared before them and they returned and instigated a slave revolt after Cain is crucified. They smite the Dragon and raze the city and take their people across the water to a new land.
Once in this new land they have the Foe to deal with (Fae, Beastmen, Snakemen etc) and this is where the Church and the heretical version differ. The church simply says that "The Power of the Wild is Broken at Motte-Fallavon", whereas the heretical version states that the sons (Cain, Adam and their 5 brothers not mentioned in the church version) strike a bargain with Sin and "The Sons are Forged" and lists all the Sons of Sin (which I'll list below). The heretical version of events NOW mentions that "The Power of the Wild is Broken at Motte-Fallavon". It is at this point that Adam is martyred but the church says he was martyred at the "Hand of the Wild" whereas the heretical version refers to him as the "Sixth Son" and mentions "Five Sons turn to Sin". Next the church states that Cain "Reaps a Bloody Vengeance Against the Wild" but the heretical version again differs saying "The Seventh Son Reaps a Bloody Vengeance. Two Sins Are Chained, the Rest Scattered". Lastly the church says that "Cain and his Ten Thousand Embark to Unknown Shores" whereas the heretical version is more specific saying "The Seventh Son and his Ten Thousand Embark to Hunt the Remaining Sins."
So the church version has 12 passages and the heretical version has 13 and absolutely shatters the image the church has created as the basis of their entire system of faith. This can all be read with better formatting here
>>5909527 as mentioned.
On top of all that, we've seen mention of various sins throughout history located all over the place. We ran into Anarchy in Fallavon and managed to kill and chain him. Agony was sighted as far back as the Crusades (from what we read in a scroll, its possible he's been seen since). We discovered where we believe Abyssal was previously chained but broke free and is now responsible for the Black Sails that scare the shit out of even seasons sailors and pirates. Avarice is the current Canton Princes bodyguard and used to be known as The Paladin Sanguine, The Knight in Red, and The Crimson Chevalier among other names - he wears red armour pictured in the attachment.
If you go back and read Thread 16, I believe thats where we really started to realise what a big deal this all is but I think the first hints were dropped as early as Thread 9.

There is no actual evidence that Adam and Cain are her biological sons other than being mentioned as "sons" in the holy texts, it's one of the points that differ in the heretical texts (mentioning 2 sons versus 7)

>>5927505 So the same day Romaine fell Cathagi also got hit by a conspiracy, could it be that the dragon was the main target and the Canton attack only the first preparatory step for a followup invasion?
Certainly would explain why the undead blight in Canton hasn't expanded since then if it was only ever thought of as an advanced base by whoever started this.
And the fact that the dragon wasn't warned in time makes me think that the conspiracy was deeply embedded in the medusae sect which should have had some way of prophesizing such an baleful omen.
So long story short: It was them medusae who done did it.

not hand wave the valour or skill of the crusaders themselves dose anyone else expect foul play in the crusade adamant like the use of the sos in the crusade, would it be worth while to see the cathagi recounts of the war to see if anyone fitting the sos description was present during the critical battles?
the currant prince may not have been the first Royal to use the sos to his advantage, or cain forbid the faith sanctioned their use.

Anonymous
>>5928434 The sons of sin are not the only thing Canton has to even the playing field in terms of magic, it has its own sorcerors and the church has a incredibly potent arsenal of magical artifacts. The sons of sin are more of a game changer when it comes to the internal politics of the Kingsmen/Queensmen since the Kingsmen are decidedly on the backfoot in the respect of an equitable arsenal.
>even worse what if ardrene was traded for an attack on the dragon a mass sacrifice for some sort of dark ritual Ardenne was an inside job to destroy a threat to the unity of Canton, a independent, succesful human realm closely related and with power rivaling the rest of Canton combined was something neither the crown, nor the church could tolerate, they were not alone many dukes profited from it, Pascae gained a near monopoly on maritime trade, Montbrune sole access to the northern trade, Fallavon likely got an increased share of the food market and none more so than the Romanie family who become dukes themselves after Ardenne fell no one could have predicted what they would unleash when they called upon Ardennes doom and few truly know what was done only that the regret was immediate & immeasurable and the hunger of what was unleashed, undying. Or the Fae did it IDK.

>>5928489 >The Fae did it Actually still the most likely explanation considering the undead creature we fought in Fallashit, we know for a fact that the Fae have created bioweapons like this. Only that it's somewhat late in the timeline for it to be some Wunderwaffe last stand kind of thing, more some "mad renegade prince" act of terror maybe?

Maybe we could get in touch with the Heir of Ursen through wandering the woods using his charm, and then get him to invite us to the enclaves whenever another event comes up? We also made decent acquantances with the Otter dudes, so we could just sail to the North of Fallietnam & land at their trade port.

>>5927604 This strikes me as a bad plan because I'm not sure purity of the heart offers much (if any) protection from possession.
Call it a hunch but I think that the paladin sanguine was once a real straight up knigga (I mean he WAS called a paladin) and when he squared off against Avarice he won and then was subsequently possessed. And then avarice just started walking around with his body and reputation

>>5929850 I understand what other anon is saying. Although Thorn points are nice in the material world, they represent selfishness and pragmatism, and cause a MASSIVE malus to our DC when it comes to magic resist and mental strength. Therefore, it's not so out of the question that having high steps on the paths of the brothers and none on the Path of Thorns would make us (or someone else)... resistant to possession, although I disagree with them being immune; The DC for resisting Anarchy's powers and that one mage in Langland was 0 and then bonuses from Steps on The Paths were what made up our DC, with thorn points being -1 per step. With that in mind, you'd need AT LEAST (barring any negatives from the Son of Sin affecting us) ONE HUNDRED total steps (It was +1 DC per step on the path) if we go by the Langland Sorcerer's rules, or if we go by the Anarchy Will Test rules, being a Knight of The Realm (and the +20 bonus per oath) would make you totally safe (again, barring negatives from the Son of Sin).
Considering that possession is fairly magical, let's go with Langland Sorcerer rules. We'd need 100 total steps (IE being such an absolute HOLYCHAD that it can't touch us) on the paths or some REALLY heavy duty magical items and their protections. The Heir of Ursen token we have gave us +5 DC by itself, imagine what MORE magic gear/religious tokens/warding charms would do.

No to mention the buffs we might get from getting to 50 Cain/Adam points.

The First Herald will probably have a dim view of you, but I believe this will only cement your good impression with Lord Kasper Alaexandi as a deadest legend. >By opting to divulge the full truth and NOT swear an oath, I see this as you entrusting yourself and family more to the good graces of Sir Gilbern himself rather than the Ordo Reginate organisation as a whole. I will view this as an AUTO-SUCCESS, Sir Gilbern is willing to give you the benefit of the doubt for now. This does not mean he may not make a request of you during your tenure in the Dragon Guard, but it does mean that his judgement of your sincerity depends on your assistance somewhat. Asking for all the Hewitts to be spared would have instigated a particularly difficult persuade test, especially since this measure of attainment isn’t just at the behest of Sir Gilbern alone. >It is highly unlikely Sir Gilbern will steer the Reginates to action against your family and will, assuming you don’t break faith, take steps to shelter both you and them from the worst of the attentions of the Prince’s Faction.

>>5930102 >I'm not sure how well of a spy we can be if we literally can't lie In the wheel of time, the main magic user faction undergo magical oaths preventing them from lying, making them incapable of it. Doesn't stop them from being extremely influential schemers and subtle manipulators. Just because you can't outright lie doesn't mean you can't withhold critical info,let people make the wrong assumptions, let them interpret your words wrongly, use double meanings and generally talk circles around the truth. Say you killed somebody in an alleyway after an argument, lawmen stop you nearby and asks if you know who did it.
-"I heard an argument then the sound of violence and when I looked in the ally the man was dead"
-"did you see who did it or anyone running from the scene"
-"no sir I did not see anyone else and the only people I saw run were running to help"
No lies are spoken, you did hear an argument and sounds of fighting, and looking into the ally you saw no one but the dead man. Even if asked directly if you killed him there are lots of ways to answer truthfully without admitting it.
-"I was nearby when it happened" etc.

On the SoS prison, We should mention the general area of the prison so Gilbern and his men can find the damned place. "In the process of passing through the Cathagi Strait,..."
On the Straitokos display, the letter should mention the vastness of their forces. "The sheer volume of their catalog and stock, while not of our favored and modern Cantonian style, were of high quality nonetheless.

We witnessed a snake baring its fangs striking and lashing out at other snakes over a dead rat.
Stratiokas Caste
An extravagant parade was held in the streets with hoplites protecting the populace and the performers, we can emphasize that there were as many guards as there were spectators of the festivities.
Abyssal's prison
Not sure what to say here, I think the other suggestions have been stellar.
Heraldry of house Ardenne
When we visited the Blacksmiths of Cathagi to browse the wares and armors we spotted a Cantonian Heater Shield with an odd heraldry on the shield, a Red Wolf in a Grey Sea. When we asked the blacksmith if he designed it, he claimed he traded it with another Knight from Canton over a year ago.

So we need a Cathagi/Cantonian tutor for:
Emile to learn:
Cathargi language
(Possibly Law)
and other minor cultural aspects
Mikail to learn:
Read/Write Cantonian
Courtly mannerisms (I can see forgotten adding a negative malus for foreign teaching for this desu )
Jess to learn:
Speak/read/write cantonian
Orin can learn:
Read/Write cantonian
not to mention that they can teach all members to understand cathargi

He may not be the match of an annointed knight, but he would be able to hold his own against even veteran men-at-arms depending on equipment and would mop the floor with an an unskilled combatant like Orin.
Mikails courtly training is average, if we're being charitiable, and his erudition in the written word is dismal. He's barely got the grasp of letters at this point, let alone stringing them together.
On the plus side, Orin has taken over many menial duties that frees up your squire for his education in knighthood.

It doesn't help this is the second time I've faced an enormous change in the game, we barely explored any of the Kingsmen perspective before they got the villan shaft so now they're literally hitler to most anons and I'll probably have to deal with it again when the sainthood shit ramps into gear since Emille is far more fascinating as a human character than whatever the hell martyr/paragon people are trying to push.

>>5931979 >>Thats my ultimate concern I suppose, we're here forever and the quest either ends without seriously getting back to Canton or we face another hiatus or two. So it's 2 years in game minimum right? Considering how much time has passed in game compared to IRL, I don't see Forgotten running the whole campaign super close to IRL time. Yes, it's 2 years in game and things WILL happen. It'll drive tension and drama but I can't see Forgotten spending the next 5 years IRL running the game in Cathagi as cool as it is. Emiles life and the majority of the game exists in Canton, that's where we'll be. I see Cathagi being a decent stretch of time IRL but also probably including time skips and moments in media res, cinematic stuff to tell a story, give us control but no bog us down.
Now in saying all that, I don't speak for Forgotten, I don't know the dude, I have no idea what he's actually planning but I'm taking guesses based on how he runs his game. I could be way off but I don't think you have much to worry about. On top of all that, the game has been running since 2018, so you have to give the man credit, I don't think he's suddenly going to flake.
>>I'm reminded of what happens in tabletop groups when a player or more regularly the GM puts a ton of effort into the game, their tends to be a response from the players to invest more to match them. I think it's the best thing about this game; Forgotten obviously puts in heaps of effort into the characters, world building and writing, and the players try to match it. It's awesome, it's why I have docs and memes and do write-ins and shit.
> I have seen precisely zero vision in securing even a small gurantee against the uncertainty the term we're going to serve gurantees we're operating with. I think this is in large part because doing so would be quite meta. Most of our knowledge that bad shit is coming, is from the perspective of other characters, not Emile. So it's hard (with the character that Emile is) to suddenly formulate plots and plans to protect our family given the little information he has in-character

Did we get our old broken sword fixed? I know we acquired the Bastard Sword of Badassery (In Raisin' Caine's Name). We got an armor upgrade, and I think gave our old suit to Mikhail, so he still has his low-tier jerkin or whatever too. Plus Orin still has his low-tier starting gear pre-upgrade package. Also what are our horseys looking like?

>>5906360 Hey Forgotten, what is Romane's military stance on archery? I imagine that arrows aren't quite effective against the deadmen.
I imagine that only a few archers with fire arrows would be required to activate a trap such as an oilfield.
And while where in cathargi could we perhaps stumble on particular arrow types ( such as the credentials moon arrows used by gladiators to decapite ostriches?)
Basically what role if any do they serve in romaine and (and this is more aimed to other anons) is there any way to improve their effectiveness against the deadmen?

But it is not nearly as emphasised in the medieval military camp in Romaine as it does in Fallavon, for exampe.
That is a good point re their effectiveness against the deadmen, and I have to admit that beyond possibly their doubling as a role with light infantry support I hadn't given that a huge deal of thought as to what their specific role should or could be when the living and the dead fight en masse.

assuming they are stupid(a necro being present invalidate this) pits traps would work wonders if you knew their movements
one anon suggested fire before I think it's great for traps and disposing of the corpses but I'm wary of using it in a pitched battle
I assume destroying the brain/decaptiation is best way to kill them but fire takes a long time to reach the central nervous system a mob of burning wiedergangers charging you seems alot worse compared to facing non burning mob thats a bit bigger

>>5932760 How smart are the deadmen (With no Dread lord to guide them) again? If they ignore incoming archer volleys, longbows and crossbows would be a decent way to weaken and hamper a horde at range. A hit might not permanently take one out, but the stopping power of an arrow or bolt is no joke. If it's a large horde, you wouldn't even need to kill it in melee. The rest of them would trample your fallen target into a fine paste.
Anonymous
>>5933061 I think it was implied that Deadmen are no better than wild beasts when they are on their own. Perhaps they have some animalistic cunning left over when they were still alive, but the real threat manifests when one of the Dreadlords takes control and uses them. If we are talking what kind of ranged weaponry is most useful, it would probably be crossbows. They pack a punch and they could punch through most armour and bone quite readily. Burning pitch and concetrated large area attacks would definitely be useful against them so choosing the place we battle the Deadmen will be of great importance.
Anonymous
>>5933078 In that case, there's absolutely no way that the main strategy against the Deadmen isn't hunkering down on top of walls and turning them into pincushions until they stop moving. Shield walls would be useless against them and even Cathagi infantry lines would be ground down by the relentless assault of the tireless dead. Even heavy cavalry would only be able to engage hordes they could charge through, or they'd lose their momentum, get stuck inside and be torn apart. In large scale melee battle, their complete lack of self preservation and endless numbers makes them effectively unbeatable unless Romaine happens to have access to elephants.
At range, they'd be laughably easy to mow down.
As for the most useful ranged weapon; I absolutely disagree. Even if ignore the issue of technology (the fact that heavy cavalry still reigns supreme means that crossbows can't be produced in large quantities yet), crossbows would straight up perform worse against the dead.
Think about it. Why would we want our projectiles to go through the enemy? A moving corpse won't perform any worse with a hole through it. What DOES hinder it is a 70cm arrowshaft lodged in its side. Now it's ungainly and constantly getting tangled with other Deadmen. If it's been hit several times it might even be unable to fight without them getting in the way, or it might stumble and be trampled by its fellow corpses.
When your enemy doesn't die, you immobilize it. uneven, dangerous terrain, kill boxes and weighty projectiles are the way.

The french necromancers don't need farms or supply lines. They've had 300 years to turn the woods into one massive trap house. There'll be sleeper agent fucking bog mummies letting our army past only to wake up and ambush our supply lines. Nightly raids by reanimated wolves and dogs. A skeleton hiding behind every damn leaf.
Basically, conventional medieval warfare is suicide. Depending on how thorough the Dread lords have been, there may not even be any game left to hunt.
It's all gonna be dense woodland too. Unless they've got a large scale undead logging operation going, everything on their side of the border has been abandoned for centuries now. There won't be any roads to march on. Hell there won't even be open forest if they've killed all the grazers.
So yeah, we really should consider making a lot of friends with big boats. Do you think the Norsikkans would help if we told them we're gonna reclaim our ancestral lands from the clutches of a mythical evil?
Anonymous
>>5933110 Those are fair points, truly. And it does have the bonus of volley fire and quick reloading. Also, what about Hussite fortresses? Mobile, relatively quick to deploy. We wont be able to choose the place we fight everytime and it will offer us enough protection and mobility during campaigns, especially against the numerically superior Deadmen.
Also, I love how we are talking about this like we're going to fight the Deadmen in a few days and not in a few years, but I suppose it's good to be prepared.
Anonymous
>>5933110 I wonder if we could pick up some plumbata from the Cathagi military, or something we can use to inflict mobility kills on large quantities like a big spinning rope with an anchor on it a knee height.
Maybe we could get a magic rosebush, I imagine shoes and pants are one of the first things to go on the Dead and getting them to be much slower would probably be helpful.
Elephants are an interesting idea, Hannibal proves they can do some pretty crazy journeys although they are probably extremely expensive.
Because it's a game I'm betting that the real strategy is to do a blitzkrieg campaign against the Dreadlords, the Dead are animals or less without them although I'm really hoping that vampire rules of "When the alpha dies, so does everything else" but I wouldn't rely on it I'm also really hoping the Angel is at least semi legit, and we can eventually pull an Angel of Mons type moment before we attack an opposing army

>>5933141 That is a very good idea. I'm a bit concerned about the Deadmen possibly being strong enough to rip through planks, but maybe we could buy wagons and have them reinforced with cast iron bands? We'd still have to attack from the sea, though. I don't think we can get them through the woods.
And yeah it's a bit early, but if we're gonna need a lot of warships we'll wanna keep that in mind going forward. Alliances take time to build.

You've also brought up another important point which I had forgotten about until just now. The Prince clearly told us to fuck right off for a while so disregarding that and coming back is only going to endanger ourselves and everyone we care about. Not the best play.

So let me get this straight? Because we've only used it to keep in touch with the Reginate that's all we can use it for? No, that's silly.
I might be wrong because I can't find the specific thread but I believe we set things up so that our Griffinhawk could deliver letters directly to the church in Pascae. From there the letters can be sent on. Will they be scrutinized? Probably yeah but we've literally just established that not only does our House use coded messages but that Emile is skilled in writing and reading such messages.
>>He told us to fuck off with the assumption we were directly inserting ourselves in his politics intentionally and with little cover, we could have fucked off away from the big whig politics while staying in Canton but whatever its obviously moot now. So lets look at this. Does it matter what his assumption is? No, not really because he is the Prince and if he thinks we're ignoring him or interfering in his shit he'll have our family destroyed. Could we have stayed in Canton but avoided any trouble and fallout? Seems pretty fucking unlikely. The Prince specifically told us to sail away and stay away. Obviously we can't stay away forever but to outright ignore that would be disastrous. Keep in mind that the Prince knows all about every major and minor action we've taken, even in the remotest parts of Canton. He has people kill witnesses as a matter of course.

>>5933578 >>I can't tell if you're willfully taking piss or not Okay okay, I'm sorry, it was a bit of piss taking haha.
Truly though, I don't see where we could go that would be genuinely safe within Canton outside of our own home Dutchy. And you're right, we do disagree on that point specifically about sailing away.
I get that the Prince knew we were leaving and just decided to use that as part of his "go the fuck away and stay out of my business speech" but I think that had we chosen to stay in Canton (re: change our plans) it would have been seen as directly defying him. I'd even stretch this out to us coming back too quickly. Obviously we're not just going to lay down and let him do whatever the fuck he wants, especially as he's guided by a SoS but I think rushing back home after doing the bare minimum of what we wanted here is a terrible idea.
Don't worry anon, we will get back, we will help our family and friends and it's going to be fucking awesome as we fall head first into shit we aren't supposed to even know about whilst fucking it all up

Maybe that's paranoid, I'm not sure but outside of mystical means it would mean he's had a traitor in our midst for a very long time and I just don't see that happening.
>> theres not an insignificant chance we're going to blow the courtship with Vancewell by commiting to the DG She's ruthless, smart and patient. I think we'll be fine. A knight who did a DG tour comes with a lot of prestige and some extra wealth.

You can say all you want about the DG tour being a prestigous and wealthy endeavor, its a well troden point with both been over but bringing that wealth to scale and making the prestiege transition to Canton is something I find dubious at best right now.

>Sisters of the Silver Rose (Secular) > A rarity outside of Romaine, these warrior women often act as distinguished bodyguards and chaperones for nunneries, feminine schools, Young Ladies and even the Duchess herself. They are forbidden from competing in the manly tests of martial skill such as jousting or melees and rarely operate in any greater number than one or two. While it is not uncommon for Romani ladies to have a female bodyguard, those of the Silver Rose are the only officially church-ordained martial order and thus considered of the highest pedigree for bodyguard work. By the women at least, the men are still uncomfortable with the idea though they see the necessity. Mother considered getting a few as your sisters come of age but Father forbid it, one of the few things he did not eventually cave to her on. In case people forgot about this Order.

I feel the need to iterate before the coomers (who are my people) begin coming out in full force: Vote for the knightess who you believe will be the best for our eventual future campaigns against the Prince and the Dreadlords, and not for the one you want to fuck most. Emile's dick already belongs to Lady Vancewell, so slutting it up now would be a stain on our honor, and might even sully our reputation with the Order itself.

>>5934513 Now that makes me wonder how this one would go. How would an unarmed fighter would fare against a huge man like Emile wearing a full plate armor. The duelist in langland was already a glass canon archetype that relied on dexterity and speed. This one would be even more extreme, with less range. Maybe with extreme grappling skills, but then weight classes exist for a reason.
Learning some physical conditioning/training from them once we join the DG could prove useful too.

>>5934825 Mmm, perhaps you are right. It does seem bad mannered to just start asking about a traumatic event after just meeting a traumatised person, altough this could be interpreted as Emile just having his "holy crusader" switch flipped. But I highly doubt people will change their vote now, its highly in Danaca's favour.
I still stand by my suggestion, to ask her as a warrior to a warrior for tips in dealing with such abominations. I have no doubt that people already pity her too much and I don't want to be counted among them, a person who see her as a traumatised girl. She's a Dame, a soldier of an Order first and utmost. I hope she recognises our questions stem from a need to protect our homeland, not to snoop into her life and pity her.

I think I might have found a reason for why the Sons are named like they are.
(
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qlippoth ) "Mashchith (Hebrew: מַשְׁחִית, romanized: mašḥīṯ, lit.'destroyer') to Chesed, Af (Hebrew: אַף, romanized: ʾap̄, lit.'anger') to Gevurah, and Hema (Hebrew: חֵמָה, romanized: ḥēmā, lit.'wrath') to Tiferet. It also names Avon (Hebrew: עָוֹן, romanized: ʿāvōn, lit.'iniquity'),[8] Tohu (Hebrew: תֹהוּ, romanized: tōhū, lit.'formless'), Bohu (Hebrew: בֹהוּ, romanized: bōhū, lit.'void'), Esh (Hebrew: אֵשׁ, romanized: ʿēš, lit.'fire'), and Tehom (Hebrew: תְּהוֹם, romanized: təhōm, lit.'deep')".
Tehom and Tohu fit Abyssal and Anarchy, and Avon was a word search away for fitting Atrocity. The rest was mostly trying to fill in the gaps, Mashchith with Atrocity, Af and Hema with Agony and Anguish, Bohu with Avarice, and Sin itself being Esh. Really doesn’t connect to thorns though so there might be something more.
Related to Qliphoths, alternatives are
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/835628-persona-5/75433455 and
https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackClover/comments/apym6i/explaining_the_qliphoth_the_tree_of_death_warning/ . The Persona tree seems very far-off but the Black Clover one (which is the Crowley interpretation I think?) has some strangely fitting patterns as well. Both of those need two more characters to fit the parallels, which I guess could be the Salve Reginae and the Dragon (kinda weak tho).

Slightly unrelated speculation, but what's up with Abyssal not sharing the red text? Agony, Anarchy, and Avarice all share it, with Anarchy in particular having his text bleeding in his prison, but not Abyssal. He's also strange along with Avarice in not ranting about being whatever their name is. Red is Sin, Blue is Almighty, but who’s Black?

>>5936074 It looks like we need to get Mikhail and Orin better weapons, armor, and proper shields. We could probably get our breastplate modified for Mikhail and get some basic chainmail and a (properly fitted) helmet for Orin for pretty cheap, and we ought to give our fancy Langlander sword to Mikhail, too. I'd say we should also look into "fancier" polearms for Orin, like a partisan or short billhook.
Brother Rousseau and Jess are already kitted out well enough, so we should wait to get them better gear until after we've finished with Cathaggi and head back to Canton, because even if we don't join the Dragonguard, we're probably going to be spending quite a bit of time in this Den of Evil to learn everything we can from the Athenaeum and (trying to find) that hermit swordmaster.

I'd say we should also look into "fancier" polearms for Orin, like a partisan or short billhook. Our old breastplate+helm was already earmarked for Mikhail, just need to fit for him or wait for him to grow into it properly. He also has a proper sword already, not just a training one seeing that he's been in combat with us at our side. It just isnt a castle-forged piece.
Also equipment generally doesnt work in that manner in finding new piecemeal equipment. Like Mikhail finding a pot helm in fallavon was a choice he made with some spare coins with no cost to us and no mechanical benefits.

> The ‘winnings’ as they were, are divided equally between the knights and pilgrims for their efforts. At the end of the day, you’re left with an odd assortment of ill-fitting gear that will allow you to equip Orin in some second-hand gear. Gain Standard Outfit for Hireling. [Hearty] Doubtless the bandits considered themselves wealthy by peasant standards, but to your eye the level of paltry wealth they have accrued for all their misdeeds is pathetic. You have Mikail pick up a few odd pieces of equipment for himself and that new hand of yours, Orin. A tattered gambeson, round shield, spear and pot-helm is hardly the cutting-edge of armaments even for lowly men-at-arms, but it is a darn sight better than a leather tunic and cudgel. The rest holds little interest to you, but you give out instructions that it is to be divided equally among your men with a little held-over for the family of the fallen pilgrim.

Actually it might be possible to incorporate parts of the hilt into our current blade. The guard, grip and pommels are likely to be seperate parts and the grip at least would likely require changing after such a long exposure at a seaside locale.
We could marry parts together to make it ours.

Several sword sisters follow Dame Danaca. <span class="mu-i">“I know well who you are, Sir Emile Andrei son of Lord Nikolai Andrei grandson of Lord Daniel Andrei, and of the heavy mandate that now rests upon your shoulders.”</span>
When Dame Danaca speaks to you her shamrock eyes remain fixed on a point just behind you, as if she were in fact addressing someone just over your shoulder.
<span class="mu-i">“You know of the oath I have taken at the end of the Long Walk?”</span> That was hardly a low-profile event, but the certainty with which the coral-haired speaks reminds you of someone. <span class="mu-i">“To reclaim our lost homeland of Ardenne?”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“I had heard speak of it. But many men say many things. It was not until I saw you in the real that I knew it was you.”</span> Dame Danaca then turns aside to address the group of sword sisters, seeming to gaze through them to an invisible larger crowd. <span class="mu-i">“It was here on the shores of our forefathers that I was bid wait for he. And lo’ he is come.”</span>
Most of the sword sisters present look on with raised eyebrows, later you learn that Dame Danaca has barely spoken more than one sentence at any given time in her entire year-and-a-half service in the Dragon Guard. But several of the sword sisters are watching the exchange between you and Dame Danaca with intense focus, hanging on every word as if they too have been waiting for this. She turns back to you, her eyes again gazing at some prize or goal in the horizon behind you. With a finality that you don’t quite appreciate at the time, her next words are more of a declaration than a decision.
<span class="mu-i">“I am the Second.”</span>

Unless I'm mistaken, by having Dame Danaca as our second, it actually saves us from having to duel to the death. They can't chance having her need to take our place and being forced to duel in mortal combat with another Dragonguard.
Also the Second? As in the second true follower of Emile after Towbray? Second person to see the Angel? This is turning out better than I expected.

>>5937137 Anons fail to realize we will need to campaign for support to garner manpower for a Crusade. It actually works out better this way to be honest. After we help crush the Slithering Tide to the East, we can probably easily win support in Montbrun and Romaine to start. While the two Eastern Duchies start setting up the beachhead we head West which will certainly bring us through Fallavon as we travel across Canton.

They'll probably freak out at first thinking war is coming but surely wont be able to ignore it once the word is out that people are actually committed to another Crusade. If you have multiple Dutchies already gathering for it the rest could easily be shamed into contributing forces (and I reckon the Church will back it as well with Gilberns help).
Not to mention we've got faithful out there already (iirc). The Angelites are spreading the word of Emile and no doubt news of our oath will spread through their network and get people roused to fight. I reckon we'll get back to Canton and there will be a righteous militia ready to be led when the time comes.

To get their attention, let alone their respect, you will need to do something truly bold.
As you step forward into the hall proper the token you wear around your neck trembles. It is an Aeltin amulet of Aeltin wood imbued with less than a fraction of the power of the Lord of Bears you held an audience with in the northern Fallavon glades, perhaps it is responding to the presence of the longtable carved from Aeltin wood. Who can truly claim to know how the unseelie responds to the unseelie, even across seas and continents.
Centuries ago, before the Book of Brothers was writ and your ancestors Andrei were but another clan rather than a noble house, your people swore fealty to the demigod Ursen and his domain in what would later become known as Ardenne and Romaine. While your kinsmen are now a pious and righteous people, ardent followers of the One True Faith, the Old Ways have never been entirely forgotten. Your people remember the old traditions, such as leaving out token honeycomb tributes on a night of Twin Sisters. They remember the favour of their patron, to grant strength and endurance in times of violence. And they certainly remember the aeons old battlecry.
<span class="mu-i">“URSEN!!!”</span> Your roar carries across the great hall and echoes up to the rafters with all the defiant fury of an Andrei war chieftain of old.
The calamitous noise of the great hall of the Norsikaan cohort crumples into deathly silence. You can only imagine the expressions on the dozen or so sword sisters gathered at the hall entrance behind you. Certainly the slave you arrived here with clearly wants to be <span class="mu-i">anywhere</span> else other than standing right next to you. One glance at the murderous stares of several hundred hardened Norsikaan fighters leaves you somewhat sympathetic to the feeling.
<span class="mu-i">“Now that I have your attention…”</span> You glimpse several dozen hands reaching for several dozen weapons. You click a finger at the slave interpreter. <span class="mu-i">“You, translate! Now that I have your attention, I bid you listen closely...”</span>

I don't think we'll get challenges out of saltiness but some may challenge us here and there to test themselves against us. No idea if those will be to the death though (although once we're in the DG they can't be, so that's fine). I agree though that if we beat him (especially if it's really one sided) without killing him, he'll hold a grudge

[Divine] Alright lets do this. However, if we are given a chance to spare them in the end, we should sweeten the pot so they don't feel so bad about it.
If they want a name, we could give them a name worthy as any other rather than have them take ours. Friend of the Stormbear seems lame and needs workshopping, but something along those lines might be good. We could also entice the loser with a chance of claiming new names in our Crusade. but if they're too pansy to fight some Deadmen, maybe we can find braver warriors elsewhere.

Hell, with us in the guard, they will probably get even more fights due to how worthyy they think we are and will be willing to extend their service.
However, in order to help placate them, lets offer them a nonlethal duel, here and now. They can get a taste for us and no one has to die(yet). Hel(pun intended) we can even throw in stories of our exploits if they want our name so bad. Its not the same, but every norseman loves stories. And a posssible bonus is that our would-be foe may die in the next two years.

You at least aim to have some fun, but clearly to these barbarians it just isn't the same. [Hearty] We really don’t need to kill anyone

Keeping to the spirit of the challenge feels more properly than trying to find an easy out. Also my idea of beating each other senseless didn't gain traction.

Seriously guys. We can't back down on this. We offered a challenge and if we win, these guys will not respect us at all. It will be a tasteless victory.

>>5938065 "Worse still, from the Norsikaan point of view, the Dictat likely applies to potential applicants of cohorts. In fact that was explicitly included as a condition when bored Norsikaans began volunteering for duties at the docks or City gates so they could have a chance at challenging and slaying worthy warriors travelling here with the intent to join the Dragon Guard."
If we have any intention of joining, killing him will mean trouble. If the other guy had been the one to yel in the ha and approach us, then more blame could be heaped on him. But we marched in and asked the assmelbed men of the north if they are men or bitches.
This is why I would prefer to use our heart nature and oratory skill to get a non lethal duel now, and a lethal duel in two years.

>>5938428 Of the four options, honestly, the best one to go for would probably be Einar. He's dumb and easily angered, which means that he's easy to bait and thus easy to defeat, so long as we keep the initiative.
Everyone else has got something to them that makes me wary of fighting them; Gunnar is the boss, and if I'm reading the Norsikaan's vibes right, he's had to kill his fair share of warriors vying for his spot, Halfdan is quiet and has possible connections to the supernatural, meaning he's probably able to pull some bullshit out of his ass, and Baldur has one eye but is still a high-ranker in the Norsikaan contingent, meaning he both has a few tricks up his sleeve and is absurdly fucking tough.

Before even being formally accepted into the ranks, we already have a reputation as a troublemaker. Furthermore this is a duel to the death. Our life is no longer our own, we have a greater purpose.

>>5939405 They are our foes but they are not the Foe. It's an important difference. The Foe is the enemy of mankind, they are the undead creatures that crawl in the darkness, the savage beastmen who rape and pillage and feast on the flesh of our brethren, the unseelie with their sorcerous magics and the unholy beings of the Pit... the Sons of Sin.
Any man you face is a foe, but only those things are Foes, only they lack the capacity to be redeemed, to be saved, to be brought into the light of the Almighty

It's that simple anon, if salvation and forgiveness and mercy are offered and rejected, next comes the sword.
Chapter 9, Verse 6 of the Book of Cain "And so swift shall be the blade, wielded with terrible anger against the heathen and the heretic. For whoever takes my brothers hand, given in kindness and bears down with bloody teeth, and whoever takes the word of my holy mother and twists it upon their wretched tongue shall be my enemy. I will know no mercy for thee, I will give no quarter and accept no surrender for thou art damned and must be punished."

>>5939406 Okay but what if we somehow manage to roll our way into converting Jess. Or the entire Enclave in Fallavon? The Fae aren't ontologically evil, and really only have the Foe designation because they happened to be at war with the Brothers when the foundational myth of our religion was forged.
Honestly, they've pulled significantly fewer shenanegans than humans did in known history. A few Fae lords made some Wendigoes, and the sorcery's skirting the edges of church-certified activity, but otherwise they're doing remarkably well with regards to high heresy

Maybe this is a gift from the Angel giving us a whole contingent of peers who respect the hustle. Now the Norsikaans can't let us die in the Dragonguard or they lose a chance of getting our name.
I've also got to say, did anyone else see that +5 DC from the Dragonguard? That is a juicy treat indeed.

> For that matter, what would the Princely Faction have to gain from all their skullduggery? from what we have seen of the factions supporters the majority are self interested ,vancewells,hewitts ect they seemed to have joined the prince for their own reasons as for the prince his reason I believe has to be something to do with religious system in canton either he wants to upend everything by revealing the sos and the heretical take on the brothers or it could be simply he loves someone who can't become the future queen he's the undisputed heir to the throne what other reason is there for him too risk it all. to put it another way his cause is based on beliefs/ideals why invite all of cantons enemys in if your goal is to use the Heritical SOS to expand cantons borders so his goal has to be to change canton herself I'm sure of it? or hes possessed by some by some pit fiend we won't know till he pulls some cliche villain monologue before we run him through

>>5941002 Simple political power doesn't really make sense as a motivation when you're the crown prince and chosen heir and would literally only have to wait to inherit the realm. Either the prince is literally possessed or otherwise indebted to dark forces or there is some new spheric conjunction bullshit ahead that requires them sticking to a time plan. I hope this time we'll at least have a clue about the evil master plan before the quest ends.

Quoted By:
>>5941066 In truth it can be partially explained that way
Remember; political factions aren't monolothic entities. The Kingsmen are currently divided between those who prefer a more moderate Crown (typical feudal system with the Crown handling higher justice and acting as a mediator between Duchies) and the Prince's Faction, which is attempting a centralization of power around the Crown, both at the cost of fellow temporal lords (Dukes and Duchesses) and the Church.
That's already ambitious but the Prince seems to be thinking even further, seeking to break out Canton from its isolationism or at least reinforce the nation's international prestige.
And of course we have the Red Knight (99% Avarice) playing on these big dreams of his, making him take more drastic approaches and possibly digging other SoS to provide 'aid'.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>5941028 I have a feeling that the Prince discovered the heresy and once he learned the "truth" of the SOS he realized that Canton as a country wasn't founded by nor established by just our belief in faith. He probably sees that we had to use means of arms that we are not proud of, making deals with Sin. I believe that his motive is that he wants to protect and expand Canton but to do so he's willing to use any means, including the dark means we allegedly used to establish Canton. The Queen is unwilling to upend the country and wants to maintain peace even if our history is a lie.
Our faith and what we should strive to be remains the same. The Prince however does not feel the same, he most likely believes that a nation built on lies won't stand, can't stand and seeing as our enemies are gathering strength he believes that we have to use these dark weapons to protect our lands and our interests.
He sees the nation as having grown weak to what we once were and he's willing to increase Canton ( and by extension of being the Crown Prince his power). Through whatever means necessary.

You part ways and swing about for the counter, each warrior faster than they eye can see. Einar re-adjusts his grip for the backswing, sure to carve open the back or side of your plate with the next blow. But you are faster, faster by far. With a piercing chime that carries above the din of the cheering throng on either side, your claimed blade rings out clearly and finally. The slice of flesh as your blade parts the tissue of his throat is less clear, but the sudden spray of arterial blood makes it immediately clear to every onlooker that a fight-ending blow has been struck.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7OdI-b61qg&ab_channel=EpicMusicEmpire - Dragon Guard AcclamationA white-bearded huscarl with a decorated winged helm speaks, two feet planted on Aelten <span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-i">“...Stormbjörn.”</span></span>
A scarred Norsikaan with a brand on his cheek, still covered in the blood of his fallen comrade, looks at several others around the duel circle and nods. <span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-i">“Stormbjörn.”</span></span>.
Another voice, louder this time. <span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-i">“Stormbjörn!”</span></span>
<span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-i">“Stormbjörn!”</span></span>
<span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-i">“Stormbjörn! Stormbjörn! STORMBJÖRN!”</span></span>
The word begins as a muttering, and then a chant, and then the great hall erupts with the hollering acclamation of several hundred of the hardiest warriors in the known world. Acclaiming you. As the roar continues, the Norsikaan officer you recognise as Gunnar Golden steps forward and speaks to you at length, he and Baldur Farsight are both a shared visage of grim stoniness.
<span class="mu-i">“The Norsikaan officer says that you are a named man now, recognised among their number and with a right to visit their hall at will.”</span> The slave translator has managed to conceal most of their fascinated horror at this barbarian display of mortal violence over apparently nothing material, but cannot entirely disguise the cautious trepidation with which they now address you. <span class="mu-i">“He also says that typically a named one does not select their own name, but as you are a southerner they will give you an exception.”</span>
Gunnar Golden looks at the fallen Einar Witchbane, still kneeling where he died as the dark-haired Halfdan Ravenmark closes his eyes shut forever with a mournful expression. He says something else, his expression impossible to read.
<span class="mu-i">“The Norsikaan officer wants to know if you will also take the name ‘Witchbane’, according to their custom it is your rightful due.”</span>

Yo Forgotten, given that we got a step on the path of Cain for this, would the kill be considered one of Cains Tally or a Work of Adam? (Or none?). I thought given that he is not a Foe it would be a Work of Adam (and given previous duels that resulted in death ended up in Adams Works as well) but the Cains point makes me hesitate

>SELECTED: “Witchbane. It is a worthy name. I will take it.” A brave opponent, but his fate was writ the moment he challenged a knight under the mandate of heaven. You accept the name ‘Witchbane’ as one of your ongoing titles. [Conclude the Challenge] The Norsikaan huscarl Gunnar Golden nods approvingly at your translated words. Behind him, scores of the northmen have gathered around the body of Einar. They lift his body up on their shoulders,
The Norsikaan longaxe lies at your feet, it strikes you as wrong to leave it there on the cold floor when the man who wielded it so bravely is being taken away. There is a bristling pause from some when you pick up the axe, followed by grunted affirmations of assent by all gathered when you place the axe upon the breast of the fallen warrior and wrap his arm around over it. None move to interfere, so clearly the gesture of respect to your fallen opponent by yourself was an appropriate and appreciated one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9zLegJ7SIQ&ab_channel=Throneful - Norsikaan Funeral Rites <span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-i">“Þetta er ekki fyrir þig.”</span></span> As you go to follow the procession carrying the fallen Einar away, the warrior with the eyepatch Baldur Farsight steps in between you with a shake of his head. <span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-i">“Þú ert nú nefndur. En þú ert líka morðingi bróður míns. Og nú verðum við að harma hann.”</span></span>
You watch the column march stoically down the great hall, the song from their lips is one that you can tell is ancient and old to their people. It is not for folk like you, not this. The dark-haired northman lingers a while, staring at you longer than is polite.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-b">“Ekki taka því persónulega, maður sem þjónar einum guði. Þeir fara til að búa hann undir ferðina til enda veraldar.”</span></span> The usually dour Norsikaan breaks into a wide smile, as if speaking with a lifelong friend rather than a stranger and foreigner. <span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-i">“Ekki óttast. Við sjáum Einar aftur, í lokabaráttunni í lok tímans.”</span></span>
Their meaning is clear, even before the slave guide translates their words. You are no enemy of theirs, they may even deeply respect you after what they have seen here, but your welcome is at an end for today. You depart the great hall of the Norsikaan Guard Cohort with the sword sisters in tow, most of the latter remarking aloud that they had never seen such a thing as this duel during their own service with the Dragon Guard. It appears the Norsikaans are not the only ones you have made a mark on, even if the officer Dame Svetlanna for her part seems as perturbed as she is impressed.

I love this, absolutely hilarious, our sister is great.
Okay, real talk. Yes, we will miss the fight against the Snake men. Yes, we will miss this years fight against the deadmen. The banners have been called to aid the Montbrun families in the north east and sure enough the strange folk of the wastelands will be there fighting too. I can't remember if that holy mission was crushed to save the people there or if they survived but if they're still there that's more support.
Our family can handle the deadmen, they always do and they always come out okay. Right Makes Might and we have the right of it.
This is an opportunity. To grow in strength, reputation, wealth, information and allied. We stay and join the Dragon Guard and we build connections (we're already on that path, the Norsikaans respect us and we've impressed the Silver Roses). If we continue on this path we solidify that and get more than a couple of wayward warriors to aid us in our Crusade.
Whilst we're away, we enmesh ourselves in the Queesnman intel network and earn favours for ourselves from Sir Gilbern. Not only that but we learn hidden lore we can't find anywhere else. And the money, and the reputation. This is a prestigious role.
Yes, we may lose Vancewell, but she's smart and cunning and ambitious and I think she sees potential in Emile. She invited herself to our sisters wedding so things are not dire and I don't think they will become so. She plans for the long game and whilst we're a relatively small fish now... we clearly won't always be.
Things are moving up, Emiles legend grows, our family is safe and the Angelites spread the world. Lets stay.
I'll leave my vote now just to give the opposition time to speak but I can't see how this vote could go any other way.
May the Almighty guide you.

Yes, this is going to be tougher regarding Frida but we can make it work. We're in the place that the best warriors in the known world gather, we're in the place with the most ancient library in the known world full of lore we can't get anywhere else. We have the opportunity to make a huge ally out of Sir Gilbern. Yes, he would understand if we left but currently he is "Shaken" in his allegiance to us. We can build his faith in us. If we do so well enough we'll have more pull with the Queen when it comes time to launch our Crusade.
Who then could say no? When the Queen says that this is a HOLY Crusade? What craven would lay down their arms and till their fields whilst the knights of Cantôn go to war against the deadmen?
Frida will have every available, powerful man begging her attention, yes. We, have her attention. She has made the trip to our home, she is attending our sisters wedding.
Yes, this will not last if we do not attend to it but we can attend to it even from a great distance. We know her in ways the others don't. They'll send her flowers, poems, all the regular bullshit you send a lady. What did we send her? A dagger. Maybe next a lion or
Cathagi Turtlewolf , along with letters. She'll see our star rise, we'll keep her interested, we'll tell her of our time here and our plans for the future, what we aspire to. We'll combine our Houses and grow mighty together. She will see it.

>>but we have also been warned what we have is nowhere near a sure thing Of course, I addressed that and agreed that things will be hard if we take this road.
>>she's feeling things out with our house not daydreaming like Daubney might’ve Again, of course, she is intelligent and ruthless and wont stay with us just because she likes us. She has ambition, which I addressed in my last post.

> She also doesn't hold all the cards to her hand, her father can marry her off if he wishes Now this point I don't agree with so much. Traditionally yes, you're right and as far as the law goes, again, you are right. But this is Lady Vancewell, she is a viper. It's been made clear in earlier threads that she isn't one to be pushed around and forced into things. Do I think it's impossible that her father marries her off to someone she dislikes? No, of course not. Do I think it's likely? Not at all. I imagine that if she fails to convince him of her disinterest she'll take to the blade or poison or some other route. She's clearly that kind of person.
>>5944804 >>Wouldn't producing evidence of ABYSAL being active / Black Flag connection & location of the Holding cell, the Langland events be enough? Yeah that's honestly hard to say anon, I guess we won't know one way or another until he writes us back. Considering who he is though he may already be away of Abyssal and the location of the cell. I think we did good getting that info to him but it guarantees nothing.
>>Its not as if returning now won't fulfil some of the objectives laid out for us, to varying degrees. Yeah I agreed with this earlier. We can go home right now and be satisfied that we did what we set out to do. Sir Gilbern will likely be a little put out but I don't think he'd be furious with us, just disappointed he lost a potential assets cross the Cathagi Strait. But if we stay we have the potential to garner so much more from him.

>>5944809 >>I'm not saying we ourselves could necessarily slay the prime serpent but certainly being among the competition is better than being in Cathaggi. Is it? By what measure. Already we have earned glory and a small measure of fame here in Cathagi. We fought a fearsome, famously known foe and won in a resounding way that people are likely to talk about.
Lets say we amongst the cohort that faces the Prime Serpent. No doubt the one who slays it will be named, but the rest? Well... maybe, or they will be known as Sir Xs allies or "Sir X and his men slew the Prime Serpent". There are no guarantees here but again, we've already started making a name for ourselves. Why not built on the momentum we already have?
>>Again it's about making a push uphill harder, meta or no that's the whole situation. Well... sure, yes, it will be harder but you've added nothing and addressed nothing I've said so... I guess that debate is done? Except also she's right now, going out of her way to visit our family and from memory she likes one of our sisters. We're at an advantage and staying here doesn't necessarily remove that advantage, merely diminishes it. If we stay proactive we can come out on top.
>>Consider this, we haven't won her heart and the duchy is on the precipice of a serious situation, could Frida not consider marrying herself off at an advantage to get the most absolute premium benefits to the situation and why wouldn't she when its clearly a mindset her father has? Could she? Yes of course, she's ambitious. But now we're talking in vague generalities about what could be and what might be advantageous. Lets consider, again, that she is aware of Emile, fond of Emile, has certainly heard about all his insane exploits before and after meeting her the first time and will quickly hear that we're a rising star amongst the Dragon Guard. Yes, two years for a romance is a long time. Yes, she'll have other offers. But consider that currently she's choosing us over the Marquis Fallavon... that should say something right there. In mere months (if that) she's likely to here rumour of the new Dragon Guard initiate who not only completely the Long Walk in the most brutal manner possible, but then swore a massive oath that will rock Canton and then slew a Norsikaan in single combat in SECONDS after waltzing into the Palace.
She loves that shit. She'll wait for a letter, for a gift, for a chance to see if we're worth it. And we will be.

I'm unsure which way to vote right now, but if we decide not to join the Dragon Guard, we should remain a month or two to studying in the Athenaeum, gather clues on the sons, the Ardenne, and preparing for the praetor exams.

>.Vice versa is true in Canton, we were making waves, earning a name, granted a little less spectacularly but not by much. To a point yes, but most of the waves we've been making in Canton have been politically dicey and not the most attractive. Not all of it obviously but a great deal, not the mention gaining the ire of the Prince.
>>You say its not impossible, that it was was never my point, Frida likes us sure but again and Forgotten himself has itterated this, that is not a deal sealer or a gurantee and you want to make it even harder. Of course it's not a deal sealer, I never implied as much. I don't want to make it harder, I'm exploring an alternate avenue to gain not just her but so much more. Also lets look at this realistically. We got back to Canton and have another nice time with her at the wedding. That would be great, I don't deny it. But then we go north east to fight the Prime Serpent. We have no idea how long that will take but what we do know is that it will take us away from her. Not so different then from the Dragon Guard.
>>Granted but that seems as much due dilligence as anything else on her end, she can appraise our families strengths and means against the rest Agreed, but the fact that she is doing her due diligence shows that we're a serious contender right now. If we were just a flight of fancy she wouldn't bother.
>>Playing reactively to events we get wind of every few month does remove it and so does spending two whole years here, the Marquis is down but not out and so is every other suitor. Who is playing reactive? I've stated multiple times that we should be reactive. We send her letters, we inform her of what's going on - we tell her of the flashy impressive shit we're doing. We send her a dangerous animal or an exotic assassin/bodyguard that she can show off. If something relevant comes up we could even slip her some info, so long as it doesn't break any oaths or piss off Sir Gilbern. We're an asset and we need to show her this.
>>She hasn't choosen us over the Marquis yet in any real capacity that isn't amourous and temporary, then again choosing someone who was near scandalous a dance partner over a bed ridden cripple isn't hard. Now you're underplaying things. Again, to be meta for a moment, we crit succeeded a roll with her in bed. That counts for something. She was being actively pursed by the Marquis Fallavon. Actively pursued. She is now actively visiting our home, meeting with our family, attending intimate events with them. That's not nothing, that is active choice.

>>She hasn't choosen us over the Marquis yet in any real capacity that isn't amourous and temporary, then again choosing someone who was near scandalous a dance partner over a bed ridden cripple isn't hard. We haven't locked things down obviously, we're a far way from that but it would be disingenuous to ignore her actions here considering her alternatives.
>>Frida doesn't care for piety and might just think us mad. Obviously she doesn’t care for piety but equally as obvious she cares that others do care and that it is an impressive feat. She likely does think us a little mad; I seem to recall her not knowing what to make of us, and that excited her somewhat. She likely wont be interested in discussing the gods and the Angel with us but what it results in is a different matter.
>>Pease tell me how we are going to actually be proactive with her because I am genuinelly interested, you mentioned a lion and a turtlewolf but I don't see how those are anything but shots in the dark. I wasn’t entirely joking on those fronts. We’ve established the kinds of things she doesn’t like (boring normal shit like flowers and paintings), we’ve also established what she does like. She’s a viper and liked our gift of a dagger. Obviously we can’t just continue to get her weapons or dangerous things. That’d be ridiculous, but it doesn’t exclude them entirely. Proactivity doesn’t have to mean grand gestures and I feel like, again, I’ve covered this already. We send her letters, show her why she should be interested and impressed, talk of what we’re doing, what we’re going to accomplish, things that she can use to benefit herself and her house or things she can see us doing that, if she’s attached via marriage benefit her. I’m just 1 anon, I can’t be expected to come up with all of this myself.
>>I don't see how those are anything but shots in the dark. Dude… all of this is a shot in the dark. Just as much as us going home is. What better way to bore a woman than to spend months with her in person rather than letting her hear of our progress and ascendancy within the prestigious organization from afar.
Anyway, it’s past 3am and I need to sleep so I’m out for now.

>>5944757 As promised, here is a list of pro and cons for each choice.
Hopefully it is sufficiently well-written, providing a short but exhaustive overview:
**Join the Dragon Guard:**
+ Plenty of chances to gather glory and treasures
+ Elite fighters mean more chances to improve Emile’s combat prowess
+ Perusal of the Aetheneum’s libraries will lead to the DEEP LORE of the setting
+ Can continue to work on the allies Emile made in Cathagi so far (Comitas, Stratiokas, Norsikaans, Silver Rose exiles)
+ Rousseau’s Personal Quest requires to liberate slaves, which is much easier absolved in Cathagi than elsewhere
+ The lost heir to Ardenne sounds rather relevant
+ The Reginate network’s plotline means a straightforward way to assure Emile a big associate among the Queensguard
+/- Can curry favour with the Dragon; interesting but far from safe choice
+/- Allies acquired here might not be leveraged to aid us in the Reclamation of Ardenne
+/- Learning new languages is mandatory beyond the Officer’s Cant
+/- The Prince will not go against the Andrei...so long as Roselyn’s plots don’t step on his toes
- Aetheneum’s best lore relies on Emile helping the Reginate contact in the Palace
- The rogue Medusa will come to bite Emile in the assimilate
- Withour our assistance, some of our homeland allies might die in the Snakemen crisis
- No direct control over the shenanigans of the Prince and Knight Sanguine for two entire years
- far, far harder to court Frida Vancewell but not impossible as per Word of Forgotten
**Return to Canton:**
+ Participation in the Snakemen campaign will lead to prestige and contacts
+ Emile can directly intervene against the plots of the Prince and/or Knight Sanguine as needed
+ The personality cult of Father Towbray can be steered with fae more easy
+ Many of our associates’ Personal Quests require Emile to be in Canton
+ People of Canton are naturally more inclined to join a Crusade to reclaim Ardenne
+ Emile can attempt the Praetor exam
+ Easier time romancing Frida Vancewell, with all the perks associated
+/- More intrigue than joining the Dragon Guard, ironically
+/- The Church might support or hinder the growing cult around Saint Emile
+/- On one hand, Gilbern might be peeved; on the other hand, we did find some relevant info for him anyway (Langlish Admiral, Abyssal prison, Stratiokas, the Cedric twins, etc.)
+/- Worse comes to worst, Emile can count on his family...but they are also a target
- The Prince will not be pleased at long when we will inevitably meddle
- The Knight Sanguine likes us; this might save Emile’s life in the short term but it is a whole new can of worms
- No access to Atheneum and potentially the heir of Ardenne means less knowledge for the Reclamation and SoS business
- Rousseau’s Personal Quest becomes almost impossible to solve unless there are hidden slaves on Cantonian soil
- Courting Frida will bring the heat of other suitors, her father and likely the Faction

>>5944754 As for the vote itself, I believe I'll go with:
> Your pilgrimage is at an end. You will return to Canton, to the lands of your family and friends. [Return to Canton] Had we decided to make a vow for bringing a SoS to heel, I would have felt more compelled to stay in Cathagi. Instead, it was chosen to reclaim Ardenne.
To do so Emile will need an army. A real one, not a ragtag bunch of murderhobos recruited from the admittedly best service in the world. None of the ideas offered so far by Anons has convinced that this step is best achieved in the DG rather than back at home. Even if we were to court the favor of the Stratiokas to do so, we would be empowering the army of Nova Cathagi, which has implications about their future actions that I really wish to avoid.
Not just that, most of our interests - be they people, future prospects and even courtship - are in Canton. Two years are a lot of time to be far away from home: I'm sure the nation can survive, but in which state? Given the amount of shitstorms mounting there, I prefer to come back sooner rather than later.

>>5944754 > Your errantry is not yet done. You will remain in Cathagi, and take your place among the ranks of the Dragon Guard. [Join the Dragon Guard] I always had misgivings about joining the DG. 2 years is a long fucking time and something about serving an ancient evil doesn't sit right with me either - I am quite sure we will have a few ethical conundrums ahead both with serving an evil empire and not being there when our people call for aid.
On the other hand, I cannot turn my back on the dragon. We know by now, that the history we have been told is mostly lies, and we will never discover the truth in Romaine or the mountains of Montbrun. Our answers lie here, in a city that might be older than mankind.
Frida is honestly a non-issue for me as I've always been a hoplite GF heretic and am currently also aiming towards a possible knightfu angle.

I disagree. We can never hope to beat the undead hordes with numbers and brute force, in a war of attrition, undead will always come out on top. Every roleplayer knows you have to take out the necromancer instead of fighting it's thralls, and an elite infiltation force might have better chances in cutting off the heads of this beast.

[Join the Dragon Guard] To add something that hasn't already been said, I actually think this isn't as bad for the Frida route as it may seem. We have put our hat in the ring and shown that we understand her goals and motivations more than her other suitors. To now show her that we are pursuing goals of our own and aren't going to continuously chase her will make us even more intriguing.
Despite what romance novels will tell you. Most women won't respect a man that unceasingly yearns for her attention, especially a cutthroat woman like Vancewell.

>>5944754 > Your pilgrimage is at an end. You will return to Canton, to the lands of your family and friends. [Return to Canton] Honestly, I wasn't expecting to be on the side of returning, but I am. There's money and info and connections to be made here in Cathagi, but we can gather all of those opportunities back in Canton as well. We made an oath to Ser Gilbern that we would pass things on and be part of the network, but I believe that with passing on evidence of Abyssal's prison, what we gathered about the courts of Cathagi, and expressing a willingness to continue in our service to the Queensmen, we can keep our foot in the door and not burn that bridge. We did also go to Cathagi to lay low from the Prince, but hopefully staying on the good side on the Queesmen can help us avoid the ramifications of that.
I want to go back because honestly, much like Emile, I'm homesick. I miss our siblings, I miss our parents, I miss Ser Rabe and Ser dan Marc. I miss being able to court Frida and interact with other Knights. We have years worth of characters and stories we've been building up back home, and while the Dragon Guard is alluring, at this point I want to go back and pursue those stories instead. Too many story threads call me back to Canton, especially the ones that will potentially become endangered in our absence. Home calls to me.

>>5944754 After thinking about it overnight:
> Your errantry is not yet done. You will remain in Cathagi, and take your place among the ranks of the Dragon Guard. [Join the Dragon Guard] Will miss the interactions with the family and friends but couple of main reasons for me:
-Though Emile didn't formally swear anything to Sir Gilbern, I feel that the Kingdom as a whole having someone keeping an eye and pulse on Cathagi is going to be extremely important, especially if everyone domestically is going to be distracted by the upcoming snakemen incursion. Plus part of Rob being able to fend off the First Herald's hardline stance is vouching for Emile's utility as an agent down here, which might be affected if we come home early- and that's without the Prince telling us to GTFO.
The de Cedric twins and Kyria show that the Faction is still actively poking around Cathagi so it's not like we won't be indirectly affecting things back home either. God knows the Queensmen aren't saints but I'd still pick them over the Faction.
-Feels like a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn from and gain connections from in and beyond Canton.(Plus all the DEEP LORE from the Athenaeum and Ruins doesn't hurt from a reader standpoint, exploring the origins of the Faith itself.)
-Essentially a guaranteed ticket upwards in society should we make it, compared to back home where the Prince has a lot more assets and pull to move against us should our star rise too fast. If Emile can survive two years in this pit of vipers as an undercover agent, he can survive any of the Ducal or Royal Courts back home, with a lot more social capital now. There will be plenty of heroes from the upcoming war, but how many knights can claim to have served with the Guard?
As for Frida I kind of agree with
>>5944815 and
>>5944998 here, communicating to her that we have a clear ambition and plan to achieve it will go a long way in my opinion, rather than just a 'please wait for me' letter. She's the sort that would appreciate high EQ along with IQ imo.
Worst case if things fall through, one of the Silver Roses isn't a bad option. Good balance between our previous waifu candidates, and I doubt our family will complain about marrying someone of good Romani breeding. Anonymous

>>5906990 Despite the malus against wooing lady vancewell, we do need to complete this assignment for the Reginate. This will allow the umbrella of the queen's protection to be extended to our family if we do good work here.
We also need more information and more exposure to tools, weapons and tactics that we can bring to bear against the undead. If regular methods worked, the ardenne would have been reclaimed by now.

>>5945224 We can also fulfill that request by portioning any slaves that we get amonst our crusade and say that they are now all free men that can have a portion of land that can be shared together for new villages to be constructed in whatever portions we can reclaim from the deadmen from Ardenn after we succeed in driving them back, which would also fulfill Rosseau's request as well.
Anonymous
>>5945238 Oooh that's a good idea. Let them work for their freedom. Most will likely die but those that make it get a place to call home and land to work and it immediately takes the edge off the hardship Ardenne will face when we first free it and try to turn it into a place that generates taxes for the Crown.

Quoted By:
>>5945242 Yep, same sort of idea that the Romans did on occasion with their men/slave soldiers (yes they existed), which then allows whatever families that join us in our fight to reclaim Ardenne have a far greater benefit and incentive to fight for us and supply us, as they can get more land to claim for their own in order to protect their new vassals, and get new resources and supplies that can fill in their coffers with little to no neew to ask their fellow lords or neighbors to ask for people or labour to fill in and supply those lands in the first place. Which can also make them even more powerful then some of their neighbors that would already be settling in doing that exact same thing, since depending on the slaves/land/likely both, it would basically make them either almost king makers in comparison to what they could expect to hold in power back home. Another thing thats Ironic is that this sort of thing was also practiced by Crusaders, most notably the Levante ones. (The land portioning, noble supplying and power, not the slave part, mostly.)

Not all of it obviously but a great deal, not the mention gaining the ire of the Prince. I have to admit several of them have been, Broulerts death, the Marquis, the Prince have all been dicey but we've also made strong headways into good standing with the church that aren't entirely reliant on stayin here and as we covered earlier with the prince that was as much a power display as a threat to be made good on which while intimidating I don't necessarily see as a priority for him to act upon.
>I don't want to make it harder, I'm exploring an alternate avenue to gain not just her but so much more. Also lets look at this realistically. We got back to Canton and have another nice time with her at the wedding. That would be great, I don't deny it. But then we go north east to fight the Prime Serpent. We have no idea how long that will take but what we do know is that it will take us away from her. Not so different then from the Dragon Guard. And yet here you are advocating for the single thing we know will make it monumentally more difficult for us to succesfully court her, at least while fighting the snakemen we know we are fighting in the part of the world that is relevant to her and frankly more things we've laid road for than the DG (Aiding Rabe as promised, protecting Damiens waifu, protecting OUR waifu)

Did you mean proactive? anyway what about our promise to Rabe? who's very house and home is under threat of the Snakemen, we can say we decided not to sign up and list why but let the assest and favor hang, shit we can feed him investigating the duke as a Slaver as something we can investigate on his behalf plus any heretical knowledge therein since they had to have insider knowledge to be there with specialists like the scholar who turned serial killer.

Been reading up in the following threads after that little talk with Avarice, and besides the fact that now since we will likely join the DG, we will now likely be the first person to ever have a combined DC of over 50 since our fight with AGONY, and his 75. (Though granted in that case, over 1/3 of it was just his equipment involving a special warhammer that we absolutely should have picked up, and warpfused plate, which still leaves the bastard at DC 50 with no skill whatsoever besides acting and fightning like a brute. Which absolutely makes sense considering his Aura of Madness and the fact that a hit by him is a one-shot kill because of his massive Fuck off hammer and strength.)

Well, if that means the Aethenuiam has a more or less complete set of laws we can use to study for the test, along with our attempts at other useful research and beginning down the road of Multi-lingual then it looks like we’ve chosen a great place to get started on our journey to the test then.

If their is anything like that, it is some old and esoteric laws practiced by both Canton and Cathagi, or have laws from one or both that follow down similar routes and locations, IE “all theives caught stealing gold must be maimed with their right hand cut off, etc, etc.

Sorry, last question from this illiterate Knight, but how many Knightly codes do we have/how many do we need to swear or pass in order to become a Knight of the Realm? Also, I think the pastebin for our deeds and equipment need a update, because Im not seeing the Oath that allows us to negate -20 AV for any inhuman monsters or creatures that we face off against in the future. The one in which I dimly recall, had to have a major vote be called on because accepting it in part or all, would have major ramifications on Emilie reflects and believes the world as it is, or should be like, either still as Idealist or more Cynical then he was before.

Without a proper heir, Vencewell Fief would then either go to a trusted retainer, a distant relative or the duke.

Plus, the angel is just a personification of Emile suffering severe insanity back on a Crit. It isn't an actual source of knowledge. It only knows as much as Emile knows, or as much as he infers possibly, if Forgotten uses it to give a message to Emile to consolidate disparate strands of Intel into a theory.

Several times when that angel has appeared, it has given us inspiration and knowledge we literally, could never have known or guessed and helped us out on our pilgrimage to Cathagi to then after that where we had a chance of seeing the actual fight between Cain and the Dragon.
And while we know it, doesn’t mean our Character Emilie wants to accept it as bonifide truth, either to himself or thoughts around him from someone like Avarice and Anarchy being related to the brothers. Or what that could mean for what Regina symbolizes, so no we’ve got a vested interest to know, and it’s one of the few ways we can do to know, but don’t as Emilie would feel like a clopperclipper knight if he just constantly asked the Angel knowledge on earth shattering events that shake his world view fundamentally as a follower of the brothers and the almighty.

>>5940110 Huh, I just realized that we got pretty much a full sweep win, despite us being knocked out of a full +10 to our DC. Since our Bonus +5 for fighting against other blade masters wasn’t counted despite Einar himself explicitly being a Blademaster himself and the DC +5 for going full unrestrained kill mode for the purpose of the duel. Welp, guess we were going to kill witch bane no matter what happened then in that case. Hopefully, we get to meet Giovanna again after our duel with him in the plaza, we know for a fact he wanted to leave Langland in order to join the guard, so hopefully he can become if not a companion and friend, at least an excellent Blademaster’s instructor to us while we try and hunt down the mysterious Zawhiel, wherever the fuck that hermit’s hiding at any rate.
