Reading back on the quest, I keep going back to the nunneries getting attack by the dead mean/dread lords. There is definitive something going on with that that. We hear nothing about castles or villages getting attack or at least nothing like the organize attack on the nunneries. The annual skirmishes on winter feel more like distraction than actual proving for weakness.

Sir Gilbern sighed again, rubbing his temples. This political turmoil couldn’t have come at a worse time, the Snakemen were now openly marching on the Montbrun ranges for the first time in well over a century. Few saw it as anything other than a Montbrun concern, now that the Duke had called the banners in anticipation of the incursion, it was expected by all that the rough mountain men would repulse the serpents back into the wastes within a year of their attack. Damn fools, sometimes Sir Gilbern felt like he was the only one reading these reports in their entirety.

Sir Gilbern grimaced as he set aside the latest report from Montbrun, prompting Sir Cato de Ferros to cast another wry glance over the edge of his book at his senior’s obvious displeasure. At least reports from Cathagi were less imminently disastrous, if still concerning to Sir Gilbern because any intelligence officer with half a brain should find any sort of movement in the realms of a foreign power concerning all the same. And even a -lack- of movement would likely be cause for concern to one worth their salt. Concern

Speaking of which, Sir Andrei continued to surprise him, and the Second Herald had long stopped using that phrase as a compliment. The constant threats to the Kingdom, many underappreciated or even entirely unknown to the average Cantonion citizen, were the root cause of Sir Gilbern’s sleepless nights. Dark circles had made a ready bed under the Second Herald’s eyes, and he was sure that the unpredictability of the Romani knight. Sir Robert Gilbern snorted, then let out a laugh that had a slightly manic edge to it.

[Cynical] + [Haughty] Way I see it, the prince probably has contacts watching the reginate and his reaction to one of them suddenly deciding something is MORE important than watching him, would be to send assets over to the wedding as well - if not showing up himself to project the image of the caring heir who is worried about the serpent situation and also totally down to earth with the rest of the kingdom guise. Three birds, one stone.
Also this interlude implies to me that while we are convinced that Avarice is the Red Knight working for the Prince, Gilbern likely has no such suspicions and we should probably let him know of such the next time we send a priority mailer to him. Watching the Red Knight would probably yield a lot more intel.

And Sir Andrei is… Adam’s arsehole, he’s probably doing this with the sole purpose of driving his Reginate friend mad. Maybe you should take something to help you sleep tonight.

Still, even the well-travelled Frida had to admit that Romaine in the early onset of winter defied her expectations. She had anticipated a rather dreary and foreboding landscape, barren trees and desolate fields haunted by the terrors of the night and a grinning skeleton or what-have-you staring out over every hedge and under every bridge. So it was a pleasant surprise to ride through the roads of northern Romaine with her honour guard and be greeted with picturesque views of the last remnants of autumn in this fertile realm at every turn. True, the duchy wasn’t anywhere near as pretty as it had been when Frida last attended the Summer Tourney held here years ago as a child, but Romaine in winter wasn’t the windswept wasteland she had expected either. At least not yet. The winds were getting colder and the first frosts had begun to form, but even the commonfolk had been hospitable wherever they stayed. They were a vivacious sort, the Romani, once one’s charm aptly disarmed them of their grim outlook on the coming winter and life in general. Maybe they were just happy to see anyone passing through that still held a pulse, ones more likely to buy bread than steal souls etcetera. The Vancewell heraldry had turned a few heads, sure, but few let that get in the way of some honest coin in exchange for bed and board fit for a lady of Frida’s rank (and being generous when it came to prices helped, of course).

Frida liked to think of herself as quite self-aware, thank you very much. So it was with some chagrin that she was forced to admit that the above goals could quite readily come to terms with the fact that visiting the House Andrei lands personally wasn’t necessary in the grand scheme of things. The Vancewell plans could already be readily achieved as it was, so this little diversion had very little to offer other than perhaps sating Frida’s idle curiosity. Why she remained so curious about the home and kin of the insufferable Andrei knight, well Frida hadn’t quite figured that out yet.

Clever little vixen. Frida and Roselyn both well knew that talk of an invitation in their circles was practically an invitation itself. She knew there was no point denying it now, lest her family risk ridicule from the dilettantes in the Romaine Court for being poor hosts. But she could at least drive home Vancewell’s presumptiveness to spin any sort of fallout in those circles as a double-edged sword for both involved.

Please, my lord, consider the soldiers of House Vancewell at your disposal for the duration of our stay.” Well, if you are going to winter here of all places then you may as well use that time to unravel the charming little enigma that is the Andrei family.

[Winter with the Andrei’s] > “Your offer of an escort is most kind, my lord. We can make our own arrangements from there.” You hold little hope Lord Norveski will be willing to lift a single finger, but the funds set aside for your travel can aptly accommodate an escort of mercenaries or the like for the rest of the trip to the Duchess’ winter court. You’ll doubtless learn a thing or two about the Andrei household during your stay, perhaps something to be used to your advantage. A week here is bearable. [One Week Delay] > “Your concern is touching, my lady, but I must insist that we be on our way with the escort we have.

>>6055751 Gotta remember Robert is a pragmatist and greater good guy and if he think offing her will better the Church or the realm he can likely convince himself to do it.
Vancewell could very well be down to killing him without a doubt though and if she can throw the blame on Robert down the line if Emille becomes a feasiable candidate even better for her.

Well, i'm surprisingly satisfied with this. I had grown content with courting Vancewell, as I expected that her nature would make any mutual love short lived, but now that we can see that , while she is interested in us, there is no affection there yet. We only managed to get any chance with her because of that crit at the ball. We will need a few more or a long series of good roles and situations. Otherwise, our courtship will fail and the failure will cause or be caused by someone's death. Until then, lets see where this goes(hopefully not with Vancewell and Gilbern killing each other and some of our family getting caught in the crossfire.

>>6055765 Emile is probably one of the only people in her life who is interested in her for not just what she can provide him. Her family mostly view her as a tool to get what they want. Her other suitors only see her for the status/power she would bring. Hopefully, between spending time with the Andrei family and our future attempts at courting will warm her to the idea. Plus the main concern of Emile not having any real power or standing in the realm will go away once he takes back Andreene
I am totally not coping either

The one thing that made me raise eyebrows in this interlude is Vancewell playing the 'clueless maiden' card. I was given the impression that although she obviously hides her true nature to the public she isn't quite so vapid? But maybe that's me.

[Winter with the Andrei’s] Had we not just voted to have Gilbern stay here during the winter as well, I wouldn't choose this option. This Frida interlude has made me realize we're all underestimating the real threat she still poses as a major enemy and member of a powerful faction house, and I would've voted for her to stay here for a week at most. But given that Gilbern will be here to watch her and likely counter any moves that would hurt us or our family, that's much less of a concern, and instead I can't wait to see what will happen with everyone on vacation in the Andrei household.
Also, I don't know if this has been answered before, but what's the common understanding of the Deadmen/Dread Lord threat is outside of Romaine? If it's a ASOIAF situation where people don't really believe in or take the threat seriously, this winter could also potentially have the upside of convincing two politically powerful people of just how dire a threat Dread Ardenne is; doubly so if my gut feeling that the Dread Lords are going to make *some* kind of move this winter comes true.

>>6055765 Funny as it might sound for someone so manipulative but I suspect Vancewell isn't someone who is anywhere close to emotionally honest with herself, she sounds more like someone who had to develop a strong shell to live in the house she did afterall if nothing matters, nothing you like can be taken away from you.
>>6055804 Its been a lowkey theme that the threat to each duchy is taken less seriously than ones own duchy and it's really up to the Crown most of the time to get everyone to take other threats seriously and it was likely a reason the war of borders was such a big conflict. But given the extra-planar nature of the Dreadlords I strongly doubt their threat is truly known to anyone outside of prehaps the Church, the Crown or prehaps the Romanie duchess.

>>6055765 True. However, wear a mask long enougn and it becomes your face. Even if she has some growing fondness for us in her subconsciousness, principle closer to her core(self intrest, valueing her own family, inability to understand our CHIVALRY and PIETY and inability to try or go along with it) could cause this budding sapling to get trampled.
So dealing with her is less her letting the mask down, and her letting a lesser or forgotten side of herself grow and take up more real estate in her psyche. Her meeting our family could help or hurt(or both!) the progress of that happening. Either way, we can expect an earfull in our next few letters from home.
Also, I recently realized that this quest has only lasted about 9 months in-universe. Hurricane Andrei is one fast force of nature.

I won’t vote for anything this time, but I will say relying on just Frida staying with the family for winter will not be enough. Anons better be ready to shmooze and become a wallstreetbets day trader durning the tenure in the DG to get the money and connections to ply her with gifts.

>>6056278 I don't think anyone but the most naive Anons believe one choice will be enough. It is a step in the good direction? Maybe but staying in the DG made this route harder.
As for presents, various ideas were written in the past threads. Generally I'd say that that the most welcome gifts for Frida are of the practical (if expensive) kind. The chess idea is nice for the family (RIP Dad Andrei) and one of our sisters would definitely like a letter from Danaca.

That said, there is great benefit in not stepping on toes of many factions and instead having them come to us in time, to drive the price of our cooperation higher.

>[Merchanta Favour] This appears to be written as a Merchanta favor gained without pissing off the Medusae. Whether or not that is the case is something to be seen. If we want to get our Crusade funded, this will be the option to go with.
>[Medusae Favour] This appears to be written as a Merchanta favor drop for a Medusae favor boost... if we can get across that it was intentional, otherwise it's just pissing off the Merchata (This might be an additional roll off). This will be good if we want information the fastest and the possibly turn away issues with the Rogue Medusae should she return to the fold later.
>[Militades Connection] The neutral option. "Recognition" doesn't necessarily mean good favor from both sides, but it might open us up to more missions later to earn caste favor as the smarter members might find use for us down the line.
Overall, I think this is the best choice.

[Merchanta Favour] There doesn't appear to be a negative for this choice and there will be time to get the Medusae on our side while we are in the palace. This will give us a solid boost to build our wealth for funding the crusade, at least in the short term depending if we mess up the Merchata connections.

Such generosity deserves a reward, or at the very least an audience with an open ear. [Merchanta Favour] While I'm wary from getting mixed into court politics early on, fact is that we need to start preparing our base for our crusade and undertakings in Canton, stuff we can only prepare with a favour or two from either the Medusae or Merchanta. I dont mind either option, but I'm not so hot on the Militades option as it seems a bit like "fence-sitting."
The reason I'm picking the Merchanta option is the fact that we can get those caste introductions and start making some money. While passionate faith and great deeds are all great and good, crusades need resources and money. Besides, we need a pretty penny to our name if anons are actually serious with courting Frida, and if that fails, if we want to ensure a good marriage with an influential house. Plus, this option doesnt seem to enrage the Medusae, from what I'm reading.
On the other side, getting a favour with the Medusae would be a fine way to ensure access to any Ardenne info in the closed off part of the library. It may even help us keep of the heat of the Medusae we met in the ruins, if she someone makes her way back into the halls of power.

>>6056365 I understand the impulse to not make waves, and I respect the decision, but ultimately I think that what the Merchanta offer us is money and worldly resources, which can be found in a multitude of ways outside of gaining their favor. Once we complete our stay in the Dragon Guard, we're going to walk out with an armful of wealth, and we have a handy Langlish ship captain we're good friends with that we can make immense profits with.
The benefits of gaining the favor of the Medusae, however, are far, far more unique, and it's very difficult to know if we'll ever get a chance to find another source of the kinds of knowledge held in the restricted section of the Athaneum. With the Almighty as our witness, we are sworn to liberate Dread Ardenne or die trying. Other crusades replete with manpower, money, and strength of steel dashed themselves on the rocks of the Deadmen and only ended up feeding the Dread Lords more bodies to raise. The difference made will very likely be in equipping ourselves with knowledge of our enemy, and whether we get access to that knowledge depends on how well the Medusae think of us.
Also, on top of that, I think it's very clear that the Medusae *know* what the Merchanta were trying to pull here, and if we pull the "Oh haha, don't worry, we were just playing around" move, the Medusae WILL pick up on that, and realize what kind of play we're making. The Medusae are the handmaids of the Dragon, and while the Merchanta tried to trick us into thinking they had authority over the Dragon Guard, the Medusae hold that power in actuality. It would very much be in our best interest to make sure that we stand in their good graces, and we don't give them a reason to think that we're beholden to their direct rivals in the Merchanta, because if we do that then they're absolutely going to make our lives a living hell. I'm ultimately okay with the Militades option winning, but I think people are largely underestimating the value in siding with the Medusae.

>>6058335 It'd probably be hilarious to write Puzzle love letters to her, she's big on Intrigue so designing them to be a little tricky could actually be the key to her heart especially if we step them up over time (also, heavily coded letters sent to a Vancewell would be the icing on the cake to the growing conspiracy theories about us)

I've just had a sudden thought too, what's going to happen when the people in our cult find out that we're sweethearts with Vancewell? Is she going to get letters from Wives, Mothers, and Fiances asking her how she caught the eye of the Struck-Saint? Or hatemail from people that think we need to be Pure for sainthood?

Curious choice of masks. Some foxes are known to hunt snakes (the animal most associated with the Medusae) and desert foxes in particular seem to have some resistance to snake venom.

But it is clear that the Cathagi castes put great emphasis on it, seeing the reaction of the officer.
We should definitely ask Militades for a bit of an explanation for that little reaction. It would be a good beginning for further conversation regarding Exalted business and it will be an important tidbit when speaking with Exalted people from other castes.

As the foremost Exalted Stratiokas in the Palace, Militades is the one championing the increase in Stratiokas presence to a more ‘balanced’ degree and readily admits that having a friend amongst the Dragon Guard may serve to paint him as a balanced party not solely out for the interest of his own caste. For your part, you realise that Militades’ commendation to the Dragon Guard might be a double edged sword where your interests are concerned. The Medusae and Merchanta have no grounds to seriously object to your induction, but the senior officers of the Dragon Guard might view you with suspicion or even hostility. You’ve won over the Norsikaan cohort already, as well as most of the smaller Sword Sister contingent, but it’s not them that you will be living alongside for the next two years.

>>6059772 I have a pet theory ever since we saw the murals in the old part of the city: that the Dragon is nothing more than an Asgorga which was stranded in this world by a interdimensional portal (possibly with other Black Company members, if I've read the mural correctly).
Asgorga proceeded to raise the pre-Cathagi folks to the first and foremost polity in the area, becoming worshipped as a divine entity in the meantime.
Anonymous
>>6060030 It makes sense to me, the initial people of Cathagi came from his squad, and what he did to take care of his team's family's morphed into worship as the founding members died and were replaced with their children, children's children, and so on through the ages. The Dragon Guard is probably a continuation of the Black Company, except adjusted to suit the current highest ranking officer's needs.

[Divine] This is not a good man. Before the end of our vigil I foresee us duelling him to the death. He seems incredibly based but if he was the protagonist odds are he'd have more than a few points in Thorns... perhaps none in Adam.
Just look at this:
"demolished any progress that had been made during the diplomatic negotiations thus far"
"That this particular razed settlement may or may not have had any connection at all to the recent Norsikaan raids along the Pascae coast mattered little"
"before then sinking said ship and putting to the sword every man on it"
"seizing or putting to the torch every Cathagi galley, dhow and fishing raft"
But most damningly:
"”a syndicate of pacifist merchant guards playing at knighthood."
"all hands lost on his flagship the Recrimination when the ad-hoc fleet was scattered by a larger Cathagi navy"
Coming from the literal mercenary captain to what is a slaver empire... What I'm seeing is a very talented man blinded by hatred but no so much he wouldn't sell his ideals to survive or wound his enemies.

We have stated our opinion plainly enough. Mikail has performed satisfactorily in almost every way since we got him. We stand by our choice to have him with us. If the Marshall bids us speak more on that, we can elaborate, but for now a silent show of strength and conviction would go further with him I think.

You know, the more we interact with Jurand the more I understand why Emile idolized him as a young man and what is rubbing me off wrong.
The man seems to be a true believer in the Almighty but he holds those not of the faith in obvious contempt and doesn't have much respect for them.
He puts great importance in noble lineages and hierarchy, to the point where he considers speaking foreign languages 'sullying his own tongue' and holds clear skepticism towards Mikail, a commonborn. Also, his introduction to Emile.
Last but not least, he seems to have a penchant to get in risky situations and follow his own ideal of chivalry and damn the consequences.
If he was a character he'd be [Pious], [Haughty] and [Idealist]. He's basically Emile but without his most apparent benign traits.

[Hearty] I doubt we're going to convince him through a single conversation, he's our superior and doesn't have reason to particularly heed us. Besides, actions speak more than word and Mikhail has proved to US more than enough that he can be trusted.
Let us not make a bad impression.
But yeah, he's badmouthing the Cathagi an awful lot for someone in the employ of their pseudo-god.

I can't vote in this thread but I urge anons to consider this point, not just dealing with this guy but also when dealing with any noble Cantonian or high-caste Cathagi. IIRC Emil was also skeptical of having a commoner as his squire, but his loyalty and dedication to becoming a knight has shown his nobility more than his blood ever could. This is the only way he can prove himself to anyone. We're definitely not going to undo centuries of tradition through a few words to a guy we've barely met, especially not a superior.

Behind you, Antoninus looks around with great interest while Mikail gawps. It is hard to blame him. The Cantonian Hall, like the great hallways outside, is similarly adorned with martial trophies, ancient battle armours and the banners seized the hands of dying enemies. You could spend hours, days, admiring the accumulated memorabilia and battles honours, but you only pass close enough to a few where a glance discerns the subject matter. A map of the formations in 2nd Battle of Zaira. A painting of the Siege of Mejidiyan. The helmet of some tribal chieftain from the Dardus Steppe Campaign. These are some of the names that catch your eye, though the names of the locations escape you. You had never heard of these places, let alone of the battles that have taken place there, but it appears these are wars and battles where the Cantonian Cohort, including sometimes specifically the 43rd Talon, distinguished themselves.

We have to live with partaking in goods and services produced by slavery all around because it's outside of our control. But using slaves in our personal quarters seems a step to far for me. Even if we have to go coppercliping and just promise to buy and free them after our term is up and offer to bring them to Canton, and consider this their wages in the meantime.

Anyway there are likely hundred if not thousands of slaves serving the Dragonguard, introducing ourselves is likely pointless, Orin as a middleman is a good idea.

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:V+nbsePW Tue 23 Jul 2024 09:35:33 No. 6064669 Report On a different note, the rooms here are positively decadent. Even with Mikail, Jess, Orin and Antoninus all hosted in the main section of your quarters you still have an acceptable degree of privacy from an ensuite that looks down upon the City. It is quite a sight, to say the least. The view from the Comitas Chapter Master’s quarters could not hope to compare, perhaps the view is one reason why so many of the Guard extend their term of service. As for the role of your companions, you understand that many other Dragon Guard members come with their own entourage or retinues. While not members of the Guard themselves, those additional members fall into a sort of auxiliary command structure that supplements the elite core of the Guard. You’re not sure how that will translate in field operations where you and the Guard’s heavy cavalry will operate en masse, but that is not a pressing concern today. Certainly there should be no issue making arrangements in this luxurious private room.

The other questions do seem a bit rude. But it does the raise question of who the Black Knight actually is. Is it like a title inherited by the sons from their father, or maybe something like a title carried by the new Captains or is the Black Knight some guy juiced up by some strange magik that makes him long-lived.
Also, something to note. The [Idealist] option mentions that only Dukes and Kings have the right to knight someone... What if the Black Knight is a member of some long lost ducal house, the House of Ardenne perhaps? Or maybe he's just a guy who doesn't give shit.

The medusae have already shown to be able to see through this so I'd advise against bringing her into their seat of power.

This fellow is neither a Cantonian pure in blood nor in faith, which explains why Sir Jurand ignored him. Regarding the Black Knight- it's entirely possible that name/"title" is passed down.

Daily reminder that we might have already a link between this Black Knight and a ducal House:
> “A red wolf on a sea of grey. Yes, this is symbol of House Ardenne.” You had heard it said that the adoption of the colour red in their symbol, the same as the royal colours, was seen as a challenge to the seat of power in Aubrey. The Night of Three Sisters made that rivalry a moot point. “What of it?” > “Look at the last entry.” > The page depicts a similar heraldry set, but with the colour inverted. Instead of a wolf rampant it is a wolf’s head, a black wolf on a sea of red. A cadet branch then? No, perhaps an adoption of the family colours much like your own flair on the House Andrei heraldry of the bear. Whether a real branch of House Ardenne survived or someone is pretending to be them, it would explain much about this dude's past. Which is why we shouldn't miss this info at all.

The Black Knight is a great mystery, and while the idealist question is tantalizing. we can ask it of him when we are better acquainted with less of a chance of offending him when we call his identity as a "knight" into question. If he is of the Glasdale family, he is technically still of noble blood, however muddied.

By the way, the black knight might not have TECHNICALLY needed to be a duke to knight his great-grandfather, if his great-grandfather married his great-grandmother (the glasdales seem to have commoner-marrying in their blood), became a sort-of noble by marriage, and THEN was knighted.

Also, Siubhail is interesting. He's most likely part of the native humans that lived in Canton before the arrival of the Brothers. I guess this guy is from those W
Deepwoods to the east of Canton. I remember meeting some of his people when we were having a vision during the Second Vigil and when we bought Courageous Sky.

The Intrigue check should be normal, so around 40-50 to which we add Frida's Favor for a +6 DC and a Re-Roll. Dame Stokeworth also should add a Re-Roll.

We should speak with the faery knight once we get the chance. I'm sure he and Jess would get along swimmingly (And he'd be far better than we at teaching her how to remain safe in the city). Not to mention that having Stoutworth, Courageous Sky and Jess with us is likely to let us befriend him very quick.

We need the +5 DC and +2 Rerolls if we are going to be wheeling and dealing.
>>6071153 This is definitely a good idea. Especially since we also have the bear totem which shows we hold the favor of Lord Bristlecone. If anything will garner Sir Siubhail's respect, it will be that. I imagine he would be a good friend to have if we would want to recruit the native warriors/fey of Fallavon to our cause.

I was also wondering, Forgotten: given many of the knights Sir Andre has maimed, slain, or gotten attained had perhaps a slight reputation as false knights, is there a sentiment that all of the knights and people we have crossed swords with did something heinous enough to draw ire? Or is it simply shrugged off as liking to d-d-d-duel?

Sir de Broulert and the Marquis Fallavon were both considered the flower of Cantonian chivalry in their respective duchies, so I would say the inference from most folk hearing about you is likely more that you crave a good d-d-d-duel rather than an inference that every knight that gets the Andrei shield clang treatment had something sus going on. You do have your fans even without that inference.

Also forgive the following copium but assuming that the Dragon is Asgorga and he was stranded with remains of the Company, it would make sense for the figure in the Command Talon to be named the Black Knight. - Prince became known as the Black Prince and an entire caste was called the Blackguards.

<span class="mu-i">“OBEY THE DRAGON.”</span> The room echoes with the words of every warrior and knight present in the great hall.
The great claymore comes to rest on the next Sir Cedric. <span class="mu-i">“Do you swear to honour the ancestors, to discharge Adam’s Mercy and bring no shame or disgrace upon the memory of those who came before you?”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“I so swear it.”</span> The small part of you not overawed at the momentousness of the occasion wonders whether the term ‘Adam’s Mercy’ is meant a deal more literally here than at home.

You feel the weight of the Black Knights greatsword on your shoulder, one of his dozen squires ready to adorn you with the purple cloak and golden clasp of the office of your new rank. <span class="mu-i">“Do you swear to die well, as a warrior should, to fight and rage in honourable battle until life and limb should fade from thee?”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“I so swear it.”</span> With the holy undertaking that the Almighty has charged you to carry out, you find it harder and harder to imagine a peaceful death in the comfort of your own bed at the end of a long life. And you are, for the most part, at peace with that.

<span class="mu-i">“Then rise, Lances of the Dragon Guard.”</span> The Black Knight shoulders his greatsword with practised ease, raising his voice to address the rest of the standing hall in old words that you’d swear carried a tinge of a Romani accent. <span class="mu-i">“Mort Avant Déshonneur!”</span>
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">“IMPERATOR! IMPERATOR!”</span></span>
Five hundred hands raise five hundred goblets in a toast to your newfound comradeship, five hundred throats cry out in five hundred voices a battlecry that has been roared across battlefields, in one tongue or another, long before your nation was even an idea.

>>6075018 >>6054039 > [The Imperial Menagerie]. The hallway is a cool idea in theory, but the menagerie probably better as a first stop. We'll be tasked with protecting the Dragon's imperial animals like the Dire Wolf. It'll give us some space to learn the ropes before we jump into protecting the throne room. I'm sure there will be some intrigue going on here, since its a good place as any hide to contraband and hidden messages, not to mention this is probably where the messenger Griffinhawks are kept. We could probably also get the opportunity to learn more about griffinhawks or get more.

>>6075037 I think the knighting thing is relevant to the Cathaggi theocratic order of things. each exalted/excoria is the highest temporal authority under the Dragon and as such can (under the view of Cathaggi relevancy) knight men like the king and that the Dragon is above such things.
There may also be a legitimacy thing since Cantonians are called Exiles but we lack nuance for anything more than speculation.
Also is it me or has there been a distinct lack of Cain lately? I feel like the mentioning of Adams law feels off in its intent.

im also extremely interested to see how he keeps all these animals alive when they are not made for the cathagi climate

>>6075581 I think Adam's Mercy could be a direct reference to Adam sparing the Dragon from Cain's wrath. What that means specifically in this oath we made is somewhat up for interpretation. Perhaps it is a safety clause for the Dragon to keep himself safe from another who would harm him, to literally have the oathtaker remember to be like Adam and spare him or at least inspire second thoughts.

>>6075594 I dont think that's the case, that strikes me as a incredibly fragile thing for a demigod to lend focus to but given my record with takes so far it could be true.
I also suspect in a very Cynical manner that the Cathaggi heathens love Adamite focus on civility and law because they can manipulate it whereas Cainites operates on a more fundamentalist level.
>>6075604 That still perplexes me, I thought it was go time but it was avoided for reasons unknown.

>>6075032 >>6075037 I've considered the possibility that Sanguine's armor is simply what the greatest of warriors wore during the war against the Wild. Can't remember the details but we had a vision from that time of a man wearing dull red armor and fighting alongside the Brothers. If that's the case then the design might have survived with the bodyguards of Duke Ardenne until the isle's fall, and been recreated in honor of the Black Knight
Or it could be demons.

>>6075849 Yeah I got my terminology mixed up, personally I agree but err o the side that's it was willfully rewritten by Cathaggi/the Dragon.
Also I'm pretty sure the Exoria term might be a cope considering how hard the brothers humiliated the Dragon.
On a tangential note does anyone have any speculation for the endgame of the four factions in the Palace so far?
Personally I think
>Merchanta endgame: curbed Palace authority, Merchanta power unimpeded by Dragon decrees. >Stratikos: Old Cathaggi electric boogaloo, likely regardless who else is involved since each faction can likely be negotiated with under the right circumstances. >Medusae:Dragon renaissance, Dragon is healed and made whole again. >Dragonguard: hard to place, it's riddled with vested interests across a variety of groups, if the speculation that the current black knight is Ardenne related it could mean a expedition to retake Ardenne under Cathaggi vassalage.

You’ve managed to avoid staring at every new wonder and mind-boggling display of architecture, or at least avoid doing so with a slack open jaw. If you are being honest, your first day was probably spent more staring in amazement at your surroundings than it was actually scanning the long halls and high ceilings for intruders or what-have-you. Sir Ibram caught you off-balance once when came up behind you during the change to patrols that break up the monotony of standing sentry, but the man was congenial enough about it and merely slapped you on the shoulder and said that all the new recruits take a few days to get over the ‘palace shock’ as he called it. According to him, it is a testament to human nature that a man can just about adjust to anything and treat the extraordinary as the new ordinary if given enough time.

Just a reminder, and sure Emile may have changed since then, but when we first agreed to do this we told Sir Gilbern we were no spy, nor master of courtly politics. We told him that we recognized it was our duty to pass on any relevant information for the realm but that we'd only do as passively, as we heard it and wouldn't go skulking about.

>>6084055 Alright, so how much of this Emiles problem exactly? How deep do we involve ourselves? Exactly how many problems are we trying to solve and how does that balance against what we have left to do back in our homeland?
We can't save the world and we sure as shit can't prevent an all out offensive from Cathagi. We can help prepare for it if such a thing is going to occur obviously, and we should pass on what info we can, but we still have to keep in mind the character we're playing. I'm not saying any of this is out of character - it's clearly not - but he's also not a courtly aficionado - and it's not what he signed up for.

>the Sir Cedrics next to him listening with rapt attention. I'm starting to think that Sir Cedrics are here for at least the same reason we are, except for the Faction's benefit. In my opinion, the Prince must want to get a read on Cathagi's war readiness before doing something big. It would look bad to be attacked while doing something else that moves troops away from potential incursion. He might also be potentially be seeking further ways to curry favor and aid from the Dragon, seeing as he already granted a Writ of Passage to get the Dire Wolf. He's already gathering foreign Langlish mercenaries to go East. Could he also be trying to take back Ardenne, but with more nefarious means? It would certainly solidify his rule as the King that took back the Deadlands.
In any case, we should ask our most probing questions outside of the Sir Cedrics earshot.

>>6084056 Up to the playerbase as a whole to decide the risks vs the rewards- the key word for the second option here is 'may volunteer', not 'will volunteer', which gives wiggle room for opting out. I'd rather keep Emile's options open than have him totally bury his head in the sand.
I will point out that not like anyone here is advocating for the last option, which definitely raises the risk of exposure higher.

>>6084066 Yeah Cedrics seem like a plant by the Prince, to what end we can only guess at though we can't rule out Faction schemes. I don't think he's trying to take back Ardenne though, for all his scheming he seems mostly preoccupied with the Canton that is and his reign to come than any real nostalgia for Ardenne.
This does make me wonder if there is a upper contact for the Kingsmen here? I doubt any commercial plotting for the Faction or the Kingsmen would be left to two lowly soldiers made knights.
Anonymous
>>6084102 But what else is there to the east that he would need extra forces for? Assuming that he isn't doing some sort of internal subjugation of Canton, the only things other than Ardenne is the Slithering Wastes, and technically the Deepwoods that we are aware of. Is there something in the desert besides the Serpent Hordes? Past the desert? We know of the Nomads, but nothing really beyond that. I know we ascribe evil to the Prince's plans, but have we considered that he is doing something that he believes will protect Canton in the long run? What is he afraid of that he either can't use Canton forces for or he believes won't be enough?
We should maybe include research into what is east of Canton.

>>6084106 If you are referring to the langlish ally in Capara, Canton is to the east of them so they were speaking relative to their position. As to what else it could be Canton has no end of enemies and I'm guessing until he and his uncle get that reform to the royal army legislated Mercenaries are a good stopgap option for the ongoing defence of the many trespasses that occur.
>have we considered that he is doing something that he believes will protect Canton in the long run? I believe that this plus some missing context is what drives him but thats speculation.
>What is he afraid of that he either can't use Canton forces for or he believes won't be enough? The civil war that will likely occur upon his succesion has the potential to be derminative in the longstanding feud between the Kingsmen and the Queensmen, additionally Fallavon has that whole Fae/Bluejay brushfire that could likely become a much more dangerous threat to the social order that the monarchy rests on.
Furthermore while we have yet to see any threat from Cathaggi or Norsikaa I can entirely believe they along the Serpentmen and potentially the Langlish can be existential (If mortal) threats to Canton under the right circumstances. And personally I believe that both sides of the Crown are more than aware of the existential threat of the Deadmen though I doubt the priority lies with them.

>>6084121 In thread 29 Percy of Darbyshire made it seem moves were being made to the far east of Canton, and based on Emile's own musings there is nothing in Canton that he would need those mercenaries in the thousands for. Granted there could be stuff hidden in the Montbrun and Romaine we don't know about, but I think it may be further than even Emile anticipated. The mercenary plans seem to be set in the long term to give time for recruiting, which might coincide with the end of the Scaled Horde incursion. We shall see.

>>6084130 >>6084121 Something to note is, Mansipoor is to the east. Cathagi, or atleast some of the Castes, have strained relationships with them. The Prince evidently has -some- relationships with Cathagi, consiering the Royal Writs he handed out to the Stratiokas. Maybe this is a new way to curry favour? But for what purpose? It seems the biggest puzzle piece here is the Prince's motivation.

>>6084135 We have to consider geopolitical positioning here, Manispoor has more relevancy to Cathaggi than Canton and any expedition would have to travel the wastes, Ardenne or the southern sea and all seem extremely treacherous under the best circumstances.

>>6084706 >A grinning Desert Nomad. I SEEK ZAWAHEIL
"ZAWAHEIL could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this continent before. There could be ZAWAHEIL anywhere." The warm wind felt good against his sweaty chest. "I SEEK ZAWAHEIL" he thought. Attrape le Cygne reverberated his entire Mustang, making it neigh even as the 9 sequin wine circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of monsters after dark. "With a sword, you can kill anything you want" he said to himself, out loud.

The situation where we will need our unarmed DC is relatively unlikely, but will be REALLY important to have if this showed us anything. If we get attacked in the middle of the night when we have no armor on and without a weapon at hand we are probably dead instantly.

>>6054513 Me
I have to disagree with the majority here on the large forces. That's not been our style before and doesn't seem to fit our characters personality. I don't know that the idea of leading large groups at those numbers would tie back to our strengths. I feel like it is almost a trap option in that it sounds good on paper but might not be the most effective. If we were planning on the future to lead large groups of soldiers in traditional battle against another similar force, then sure maybe it would fit. But I don't think that battling the Deadmen will be that kind of war. I imagine, and of course can obviously be wrong, but I imagine that those fights will be smaller scale strategic incursions.
I also feel that the smaller side of leading feels like a more natural progression for us. From leading a handful of fighters currently, to a couple dozen or hundred? Makes more sense to me.

And if we're doing time skips I also would like for us to keep up our correspondence with Frida during that time, unless we were going to do so automatically. Maybe there's some gifts in the shopping list we can buy her while we're at it.

>Considering our entry was... contentious I doubt we're in for a smooth working relationship. Given who we're working with and the choices we made (we didn't embarrass them) I actually doubt that'll have much negative impact. These people (especially the Merchenta) are all about profit. In this case, literal profit, as well as advancing their own political games.
So if we take pains to develop and actual business relationship with them and open up a new market (or broaden one that already exists) I find it unlikely they'll take any issue with our entrance at all. More money is more money.

>>6090321 >You will learn another language, it could prove invaluable during your time here with another foreign cohort. [Additional language + write-in] Not an option in my opinion. Being able to speak another language is a lukewarm choice compared to everything else. Potentially useful, but not really worth the time.
>You will develop contacts with the spice and silk trade, an extremely profitable venture which could fund an entire military campaign with the right investment. Can't crusade without cash. If successful, this will give us the money to enrich the prestige of our family name and afford the weapons of war we need to pay to equip us and levies for war against the dead men. In my opinion, this will be impressive to Frida Vancewell, showing her we aren't just a country bumpkin noble. This isn't the only way to make big money by any means, but if we were to fund raise in Canton, we would need to deal with a web of promises and favors that we could probably avoid with just commerce and a strong initial investment. Also, we hired Antonius for this purpose so we might get more if we proceed with this.
>You will make inroads to gaining access to the warded off areas of the Aethenaem. If there is anywhere were the true secrets, or weaknesses, of the evil that plagues Ardenne is kept, it is in there. Knowledge of Ardenne could make or break this crusade. The secrets in these halls are only here, so this goes away once we leave the Dragon Guard. Even if we fail to retake Ardenne, knowledge of Dead men weaknesses and ways to rebuke them are a forever gift to Canton and Romaine of the future if we disseminate it to the Lords and Ladies of the Realm. We are currently getting what I understand to be mid-level info through Antonius.
Palace Games Pick One
>[Medusae Caste Favour] Says it on the tin, if we really really want that secret lore we need to brown nose for them.
>[Merchanta Caste Favour] Also obvious, if we want better chances at good moolah, we need to kiss the ring a little here.
>[Stratiokas Caste Favour (further boosted)] This is boosted due to our performance on the steps and would be waste of good rolls to not pursue. I’m not sure what they could offer us, but I assume it will not be nothing. It could be a blind eye to getting caught in the palace. Might be at odds with Dragon Guard favor.
>[Dragon Guard Favour] We will garner the favor of our fellow Dragon Guards. this has the potential to getting us pull with the higher ups, made up mostly of high profile Cantonian nobles. Might be at odds with Stratiokas favor. Potential Dragon posting to be given if we are trusted enough.

>>6090323 >>6090321 Cohort Acclaim Pick One
I have no strong opinion for these, wherein I assume that getting favor with any of these might give us some special units for our Ardenne Campaign seeing it as a worthy endeavor. Any that might be a compliment to our Canton Cavalry seems good, like the Tempest Island archers or the Azir support Cavalry.
Companion Pick One
My short list is either Marshall Jurand or Sir Romaine, followed by Sir Ibram, or Sir Siubhail. The two higher ranked people on our list are harder to get to know due to their higher standing so this acts as a bit of a shortcut into their good graces. Marshall Jurand is an acclaimed Knight of the Realm and Sir Romaine has an in to the Romaine Dukedom. Sir Ibram is a personable chap and has a story that would be interesting to follow and Sir Siubhail has the Fey connection.
Thank you for attending my TED Talk. A lot of these choices are neck and neck to me, so if there is no point to pivot halfway, or adjust our course based on things Antonius finds or things we have Antonius start doing once he finishes up his current tasks, I will have to make hard choices.
Also regarding the timeskip, I thought it would entail skipping through the doldrum and having us engage as we normally do when interesting events come up. (i.e. 3 months pass and you have a chance to interact with something or other). A bare summation of events might be what some anons want, but I think they are rushing it a bit.
Maybe this isn't the case and I'm reading into this wrong, but I wanted my voice to be know in this.

If there is anywhere were the true secrets, or weaknesses, of the evil that plagues Ardenne is kept, it is in there. An easy choice to make. I know that some people are big on helping Rousseau and I get them, however the Aetheneum is half the reason why we decided to stay in the DG to begin with. As for the Black Knight, that's simply a can of worms we need to open at some point for a number of reasons (SoS, ties to House Ardenne).
In short, these are the options for ALL THE LORE. Which is important since the Prince is keeping company with the Sanguine Knight back at home.
The Palace Games. SELECT ONE.
>You will curry favour with the Medusae Caste, showing particular deference and seeking assignments to their protection or interactions on a regular basis. [Medusae Caste Favour] Obvious pick for the synergy with the Atheneum choice above. We do have tips on the last location of that renegade Medusa if they're interested btw.
Sure, Medusae will not give us cash like the Merchanta but considering the definitive supernatural nature of the SoS and Dreadlords I think it is far more relevant to know our enemies first. Not to mention that unfucking the Royal Court is likely bound to let Canton attempt another Reclamation of Ardenne.
3) You have already been acclaimed by the Norsikaan Cohort, recognised as a champion and a worthy peer. During your time in the Dragon Guard, you achieve the same with another cohort to a similar degree. SELECT ONE.
>The Langlish Cohort. Now, you want connections with people with money? Go for the known copper-clippers of the setting. That one of their Admirals is making deals with the Prince, we fought one of their Bravos (who should have joined the DG by now?) and befriended a Langlish captain makes this choice a perfect narrative fit too.
4) Likewise with your comrades of the 43rd Talon, you have already made inroads with some but one in particular comes to regard you with respect and loyal admiration. SELECT ONE.
> [Sir Vladimir Romaine] I do not have strong inclinations on this choice. I do like the implications of Siubhail, but Vladimir Romaine can give some political oomph back at home, which isn't so bad when our family needs it (both for political shenanigans and further warding against the Prince).
Also yeah, being buddy-buddy with such a high noble could give us some help when it comes to Vancewell. That's a boon I won't throw away.

I'm assuming we're timeskipping to the next rota or interesting event rather than the whole term of service, thus my inputs that follow.
>>6090244 The Praetor Exam is best studied for later before we return to Cathaggi, otherwise the knowledge we gain may become rusty. Certainly a solid education to have if we are to rule Ardenne, a nice feather in the cap, & potentially helpful in dealing with Cathago politics & slavery issues. Thus, this should be on the backburner. Another language on top of Battle Cant & Antoninus' lessons seems useless/unproductive.
Freeing the slaves & uncovering the mystery of the Blackfyre Targ are more important & pressing, but both can wait until we have more seniority & influence that will allow us to act upon them.
The Sword-Saint is key to our further growth from a champion to a legend, & any leads are sure to fade quickly, thus a certain urgency. The Aetheneum & gathering wealth are both high on the list, but would also be easier with more time in service & deeds to our name. If we can manage to become Exalted Exoria, both might be within easy reach.
Ultimately, I'll go with:
>[Zawahiel] >[Aethenium] Then make investments during our market visit.
As for caste intrigues:
We have nothing to offer the merchanta presently, as valuable as their favor could be for us. We can also raise wealth without them through our own trading, the Langlish, Norsikaans, or even rarities from the Fae.
The medusae we at least have an in with as another anon pointed out, & their knowledge can't be gained through other sources.
The Stratiokas are a solid choice due to our established reputation & their martial skills, but I doubt we could actually have them join our crusade unless we went all in on their caste & convinced them by some miracle to abandon the Dragon & settle Ardenne alongside us.
Dragon Guard is a solid choice, but just being a chad during our tenure should make it a given.
Thus:
>[Medusae] >>6090245 Tough choices here:
None besides the Azirin Bloodpact Exiles & L*nglish are likely to be able to help us in our crusade, although the Nomads might be useful to know well while we're here & searching for Zawahiel, investing in caravans, & seeking out treasures & quests. Tempest Island bows & Mansiporean fists won't make much difference against the dead.
Thus I'll cast my vote for the wild card, but L*nglish & Nomads would be my runner ups:
>Smaller Cohort (useful in combat against the dead, such as with polearms, hammers, flails, or something else) Sir Siubhial intrigues me, but we can win him over with our Pygmy Marmoset & Joker Card.
Sir Ibram offers nothing beyond another worthy companion, but is married to the guard as it were.
Chimalma opens up interesting possibilites, but is far from home & uninfluential.
Sirs de Camp & Marley are likely a package deal, but not particularly noteworthy.
The advantages of Sir Romaine & Marshall Jurand are obvious.....

>>6090245 >>6090710 There is of course the old adage of keeping friends close & enemies closer, & we want to eventually get Mikhail into the Roiguard, hence an in we are ignoring. They may even slip up & reveal information we otherwise would have no hope of finding. Of course they know of our reputation, but I doubt they are particularly well informed of us.
Ultimately my choice of new companion goes to:

I truly would love to dive into some of these other cultures, but I think with the direction this quest has taken, we have too many plots brewing and fires to put out back home in Canton that I don't think we can afford the kinds of lore tourism I would otherwise love to explore. There truly is no plight quite as sweet as being tangled up in a knot of equally appealing choices in a Forgotten quest.

>>6091133 The logistics are at least in part fairly simple, our langlish Captain ships from Cathaggi to langland and from there to port bounty, we don't have a contact in port bounty unfortunately but from there we can ship to Norvesky and then home.
I'm thinking we could reach out to tracker Jean for a mutual relationship in transporting the goods overland
She likely needs them after the Snakemen pushed Freetown south and we could also reach out to the Sir Wavell in port bounty to facilitate the business of unloading and storing goods.
Additionally we could pass goods north to Frida as a bit more proof that we have some scheme afoot, prehaps through the patsy she has there?

>>6091099 Not voting yet on this one but in general the most important purchases are:
>Mid caste introduction (Merchanta) Could be at odds with currying favor amongst Medusae. However, it gives us the chance to invest in stuff and make safe purchases while also adding a layer of credibility to our Reginate cover.
> Impressive finery + Renowned Artist We're going to deal with a lot of political bullshit so we might as well get some serious social modifiers. Going for this also provides an excellent opportunity to buy a Bulk of Silk.
It might be far too early to think of designs but it would be nice to find a tailor who straddles the line between Cathaginian and Cantonian fashion. Exotic and peculiar but a subtle reminder that Emile hasn't gone native at all.
> Token of Affection (with or without Renowned Artist) For Vancewell, since we picked the DG route we'll have to splurge a little. No big idea at the moment if not for a dress in Cathaginian style (but respectable for Canton's nobility) which happens to have quite a few secret pockets - and one perfect for stashing that dagger we sent her before.
> Bulk of Silk See comment above and this Anon
>>6091139 . Using our Langlish contacts + Jean is a very cool suggestion.
Other than this, we're kinda fine. More armor for Hannibal seems a vanity since we're tanky enough already and Jess gets a stipend good enough to buy a bow with her own coin (a good lesson in the value of money, if nothing else). We might consider to grab something for Mikhail and a couple of Cantonian Lances.

Mid Caste Introduction (Merchenta) – 100

Token of Affection (Renowned Artists) – 40

Total of 401 before taking the bulk spice and silk purchases. It's a boost to our courtship with Vancewell, it's a boost to our horses protection and to Jess and Mikails effectiveness and safety as well. It also gives us some nice clothes to ware whilst we're here in Cathagi (boost to social rolls).

[Zawahiel] Physical strength is a must that must NOT be neglected. I don't know if you've seen the last fights, but as we stand we' are far from being an exceptional warrior. Just amongst the Dragon Guard, there might be dozens that could defeat us.The Dread lord have been shown to be literal killing machine above most mortal. I don't want to lower our achievements, but most our magical foes have been defeated BECAUSE we had comrades, or magical support to carry us. TO get to Ardenne we'll need more than above-average strength.
>You will look into your suspicions regarding the Black Knight, and the company he keeps. [Black Knight] Honestly, it's been strongly hinted that the Black Knight is the heir of old house Ardenne. He probably knows about what the fuck happened that day. And he could very well be one of the key to this mystery.
>You will curry favour with the Medusae Caste, showing particular deference and seeking assignments to their protection or interactions on a regular basis. [Medusae Caste Favour] Honestly, I think some of the choices are interconnected and could be superfluous depending on what happens.

We can perhaps instigate change and maybe have an impact on the church and root out the SoS and those are all awesome things that will contribute to unfucking things but there are way bigger political things going on than Emile alone or his House combined can change.
>I am not sure why Anons seem fixated on bankrolling this crusade alone, mercenaries will be terribile for the job. I don't think it's about mercenaries, certainly I never even considered them in the equation. It's about logistics and politics. People aren't going to follow a pauper into a historically doomed fight. We're going to need to be able to take care of massive amounts of food, supplies, medical aid, and paying the army (because even regular armies get paid).
We'll also need some of that money to buy support I imagine. A donation here, money for a new chapel there, trade deals to tie Houses together and as a symbol of strength, prestige, status and prosperity. We want people to look at Emile and go "Oh shit, I better get on this. If I miss out and all my peers are involved I'll look like an idiot. They'll get all the prestige and I'll get none!"
Obviously our family can help with the politics but money is going to play a big part in it too I imagine. We'll also (hopefully) have our Sainthood, our religious faction, our time in the Dragon Guard and our many chivalrous and showy deeds to help muster support. Plus if we land Vancewell it'll be a massive boon as well
Anonymous
I mean I could see some bounty under campaign but 1. I don't think that'd be terribly ethical and 2. Now that some anons have an aversion to thorn points the returns are diminished and 3. Even with to the victors the spoils, that's peanuts in turn to the caravan returns we can make.
>>6091651 I think it's less about mercenaries and more about kitting troops/ourselves/companions out. You're right that we'd not even be close to bankrolling a crusade without some major copperclipping on our own but any funds procured here keep us going down the road and that includes unfucking Canton.

Prestige, political gains and arming zealous peasants through Coin - all useful for the crusade, sure. That is why I agree with investments despite currying favor with the Medusae. However, 1) these boons can be perfectly achieved through other feats and 2) there's no deed more relevant and critical right now than dealing with the Prince and/or Knight.
Everything else is corollary. The crusade itself could very well be a distante finale because it Canton can't get there intact, it will be all for nothing.

>>6092009 Found it, in Thread #6:
>”Ah, don’t sweat it, every expert starts out as a amateur at some point in they lives, right? Now Ol’ Benny pointed out the difficulty in crossbreeds. I don’t mean the end result, which sometimes isn’t too bad I’ll admit, but it ain’t worth the effort or cost. You are certain that the next part of the conversation was phrased purely to cause you the maximum amount of embarrassment. Tracker Jean leans in a tad closer from her sadly, speaking conspiratorially. ”A Mustang stallion will take whatever’s on offer but if the target of his none-to-gentle affections are anything other than Mustang, well his missus will break more often than not. Either during the ride to pound-town or when birthing the offspring later. Now a Mustang filly on the other hand, well she won’t let any lesser breed bed her, no sir. She needs one of those big, strong Mustang boys to treat her right, hold her down, show her a good time…” In short, Mustang boys fuck the lassies ragged or dead. It ain't worth it.

>>6092086 Thanks, it seems Forgotten already built in a scarcity mechanic so we can't power game it.
It's a real shame our horse fucks too hard.

>>6092098 Hey, other people may have Mustangs too breed. And if they have Mustanges, they have the cash, the dough, the big green. But, yeah, the most horse of horsedicks around, so hung it's a safety problem.

Desert Tailorship (Armour) + Renowned Artist 20sq
Buckler + Master Armourer (For Jessie) 8sq
Tempest Composite Bow (For Jessie) 20sq
Mid Caste Introduction 100sq
Desert Tailorship helps with tracking in the desert and its cheap. Plus we can powergame it with a renown artist for a reroll as well.
Buckler is to up Jess' AV and the master armourer lets her fish for a double. Hopefully Mikhail grows into our breastplate so that he can pass the scale mail to her too.
I'll leave the rest to other anons.

>>6092823 (me)>>6092849 >>6092824 Am I rarted? I always thought 'Scourge of god' meant 'the whip god wields', not 'the one that whipped god'.
I thought that it could be a cool evolution on Hannibal, who also fought the romans.
Attila's title of divine Retribution just seems like cool iconography for a crusader's warhorse.

>>6092853 Yeah no you kinda had it right. Attila and his hordes were considered auch a catastrophy for Christendom that they interpreted it as divine punishment for their sins (because otherwise how could this happen when they are heathens and we are Christians and our god should grant us victory).
