>Spend 1 Wealth
>Fashionable Attire (1W)
>”Hah. Drinks on me!” Despite yourself, you’re starting to share Tracker Jean’s enthusiasm for the pitch-and-sale and all this other commerce hubbub you once thought beneath you. [Hearty]

You have 7 Wealth Remaining. Further purchases prior to your departure will require a write-in that gains traction during your stay.

------------------------------------------

”Hah. Drinks on me!” You declare boisterously, hefting the heavy coinpurse with a grin. You’ll be damned, this trade thing can be quite fun if one doesn’t take oneself too seriously.

”Careful, Cantônian!” Miss Jean teases, delighted you’re getting into the spirit of things. ”See if I don’t order myself the finest and most expensive drink they have on offer.”

”Psh, go right ahead Miss Jean.” You smirk, watching a wine merchant’s daytalers struggle under too many vases. You don’t imagine Miss Jean will offer refunds if they drop them. ”I imagine most of it will be of your bosses’ stock anyway.”

”Careful who you call my boss, knight. Fatman just fronts the cash, it’s his missus that’s the brains behind everything.” Tracker Jean waves farewell as you make your way to another section of the merchant quarter with your earnings. ”Don’t spend it all at once, I want that drink!”

Remembering that you have a debt due at some point, you restrain yourself from spending everything at once. However, well aware that one simply cannot wear armour all the time in the Capital, you go out of your way to the Tailor Lane streets and see what the fashionable courtly folk are wearing these days.

”Of course, sire, of course! Jeeves here has taken your measurements and we shall have the cloth cut out and fashioned by tomorrow evening.” Mister Verdicci is a Cantôn Capital-man by birth, though he manages to work in his Langlish-Pascae heritage into the conversation within a few sentences of you setting foot in your door. ”Quite a lot of cloth for a customer of your stature, I should think! If you don’t mind me saying, sire. Here, this one I think. It matches your complexion perfectly, and compliments your impressive figure to no end.”

”That? You don’t think it’s too… well, much?” You ask, running the fabric through your hands.

It’s very colourful, and perhaps a bit tight-fighting on the mannequin. To be quite honest you’d been wondering what the diminutive servant had been doing behind you all this time. You’ve only come to this particular shop because Sir Gilbern mentioned it off-handedly on the road, and you don’t believe the Queen’s Herald to be someone to dress like a complete fool.

”Oh no, sir.” The bespectacled man says very seriously, as if he were warding you against the mortal danger of appearing unfashionable. ”Not at all sire, very much in this season.”

”I suppose…” You say with some apprehension, handing over the coin. ”I’ll take some of your more casual wear as well, for less formal occasions.”

”Of course, sir, of course.” Mister Verdicci gives an impressively low bow, snapping his fingers. ”Jeeves!”

[3/3]

You get lost several times on your way back to Lion’s Mane Inn, overwhelmed by the winding streets and thrumming hub of humanity. The sheer number of people. Hundreds, no maybe thousands! And just in this main thoroughfare alone. You’d been impressed when the whole of Grenoble turned up to the execution of Sir Vancewell, but it appears that the whole of Grenoble and then some could fit inside the Aubrey Merchant Quarter alone. In less than an hour you see more human beings than you’ve ever met over the course of your life. Outstanding, here lies the beating heart of your great nation!

A shout catches your ear, then a loud smash and some laughter with a hard-edge to it. Even in the throng of people, the culprits are obvious. Dressed in garishly colourful and contrasting display of attire that made Mister Verdicci’s wares look demure by comparison, they look like trouble. No one seems to pay heed to their behaviour, in fact the folk closest to the spectacle seem to be avidly avoiding making eye contact with the rambunctious rabble.

They’re teasing another boy younger than them, and much more raggedly dressed. Some sort of urchin, then. They taunt, slap and shove him occasionally, waving a gold coin in his face with glee. A youth tosses the coin over his head to a fellow, then again. On the third toss the beggar boy catches the coin, knees one of the gang in the loins and sprints away. Or tries to at least, a youth trips him and quickly there are five well-dressed fops kicking savagely at one beggar on the ground.

”Here, let’s give the little thief a reminder he won’t forget.” One of the youths, the one kneed in the balls, steps forward hand on a dagger.

You samefags do know that Forgotten will just recast the vote right?

Honestly, I think Forgotten made a mistake by making a choice like this be the first vote in the thread. The first vote in a thread should never be an important or contentious one, as that will simply invite stupid levels of samefagging because all ID's will be new and mostly have only 1 post.

>>3259042
So how many anons really participate in this thread? Can you tell?

>>3259055
There's been plenty of occasions where Anons samefagged out of spite or just to prove a point, even if the matter itself was dumb.

So let's not kid ourselves, saving the kid doesn't matter much. All of this boils down to a White Knights vs Edgelords debate.

>>3259062

The best part is that it's the same excuse and justification that Vancewell used when he was confronted.

https://archived.moe/qst/thread/3049678/#3063026

>”They were peasants! Hog-bedding, mud-slinging peasants! What do they matter?”

>>3259198
I mean its not like they necessarily voted for those vancewell options, after all, there were even some anons who voted for killing vancewell after disarming him, despite our oath clearly forbidding it. I dont feel Its really hypocrisy to pick an option that forgotten has presented as being a reasonable action Emile could take due to an aspect of his personality(his haughtiness). On the other hand, I think at this point picking the haughty option would be too strong a shift from Emile's actions in the vancewell trial. His haughtiness doesnt seem to be "what the fuck are these peasants doing in my way", more so "Due to my superior breeding and talent, I am superior, and thus have a responsiblity to protect those beneath me in exchange for their servitude".

I'm pretty sure the implication is that the richer kids are going to mutilate the poor one("reminder he wont forget"), besides this is literally the type of behavior that we were disgusted at vancewell for, nobles(?) abusing the common folk for their own pleasure/amusement then crushing them when they fight back.

A re-vote with no single digit IPs would be the easiest I feel.

Honestly I would feel a lot better about the Haughty reply if the anon voting for it wasn't being a meming faggot totally contradictory with the past actions of Emile. Namely the responsibility aspect of it.

I think I'd be more likely to go for >>3258820, where we insist on being a stickler for the rule of law.

Which, ironically, here might mean the thief gets killed whereas the Nobles might have let him off with some flesh wounds.

Still though, the best violence is State Approved violence, because it has the checks and the balances on it.

But mostly I can recognize a plot hook when it's waved in front of our fucking faces.

I find it interesting there wasn't an option to intercede on behalf of the nobles either. Personally, the idea of this hick knight with money and honour than acumen barging in and insisting on helping them by taking the thief to stand trial, promising to dig to the heart of the matter and see their goods restored, would be fun regardless of who was in the right or wrong in the situation.

Why would you be calling me a peasant?

Nobles can justify marrying commoners for profit. If Jean even is a commoner. Isn’t she foreign? And Kyria was in a command role. She’s more than likely a noble.

>>3260313
>Nobles can justify marrying commoners for profit
Absolutely not what the fuck anon, I don't think you quite understand how important family, ancestry, lineage and inheritance are to nobles
Only the poorest,most destitute noble families would even consider that and that would be a massive shame on their honour

>>3260313
>Nobles can justify marrying commoners for profit.

Knigga, we ran into this drama back in thread 2 when we found out Gladsdale married a commoner. Gladsdale ended up getting disowned, and basically running a pity section of land for that. Granted, it's not like she was a rich burgher's daughter, but Emile's shock and general distaste was notable, even taking into account that he was Gladsdale's friend. Tracker Jean might be considered differently, considering that she's foreign-born, but I agree that Father would probably pop a blood vessel after his first son's trash-fire just got sorted out in time for his other son to marry some foreigner of uncertain reknown.

>>3260324
IC, our character already threw shade at his close friend for marrying a peasant, only relenting after considering his friendship.

Can't see him properly taking on a commoner as a wife easily.

>merchant who looks at our cultures sensibilities as joke
only way we could marry her is if we disinherited ourselves

well considering it's an othe we can take

>>3260376
Only if we take the vow. Even then it only says bastard. Kick the woman after sex and everything will be fine.

>>3260324
It's a more frequent occurrence in Pascae, where the balance between Merchant and Noble is more even in terms of influence.

>>3260370
As another anon pointed out, the Oath certainly frowns on 'pumping and dumping'. The focus on the negativity of fornification is primarily against adultery and siring illegitimate children. This still happens, of course, but it's scandalous if discovered.

Sex outside of marriage occurs as much here as it did in any point of human history, it's unlikely that there would be any consequences for the discreet actions of two consenting unmarried adults unless it leads to a baby. Abortion happens, as it always has, but carries the same stigma as it always has as well.

There are other ways to churn the butter, so to speak, but I'll leave that to anons as to whether Sir Andrei would consider that cheating the spirit of the oath while technically obeying the letter.

Forgotten, why is house Glasdale netrual to us? Isn't he our childhood friend and didn't we help him recently?

>>3260703
Because your friend was disowned.

>>3260703
Probably because our friend isn't the head of the house. He's just a low-tier landed knight now thanks to him marrying a peasant surf's daughter.

>>3260715

>>3260708
How powerful and wealthy is house Glasdale compared to house Andrei?

>>3260722
Your setting your say dude, Influences are secondary to GM fiat

>>3260735
Not too dissimilar in practical wealth and holdings but House Andrei has a more distinguished pedigree, dating back to well before the fall of Ardenne.

>>3260744
Let's say coastal France then, with growing influences from Langland which is a combo of England/Holland/Italy

+1 Step on the Path of Adam

You are willing to let boys be boys, or at least not dirty yourself with the mundane affairs of the peasantry, but allowing 5 of them to mercilessly beat and mutilate another in plain view of all and sundry is an outrage you cannot ignore. Rather than apprehending the thief, if you can even call the quick-fingered urchin that, they seem set on beating him half to death and then some. If anything they appear gleeful that the unfortunate beggar gave them some excuse escalate their violence, the gold coin lies ignored on the stone pavement by the waif's cowering body. Remembering the Knight's vow to always lend your blade to the helpless, even the lowliest of that order, you decide to intervene.

"Draw that blade boy, and I shall see that you use it." You step forward, gauntlet not quite gripping your own sword but resting all-too-casually over the hilt.

The colourful assortment of bullies pause in their assault at your intrusion, their stare starting eye-level at your chestplate before dragging horizontally to your towering figure. Even the guttersnipe squints upwards, the sun casting a shadow over your face. The youth with the half-drawn dagger licks his lips nervously, your advantage in size and armament plainly obvious. He looks to his fellows for support, and to your surprise there is a tense moment of hesitation as they weigh up their advantage in numbers against this intruding martial stranger.

These troublemakers couldn't possibly be stupid enough to attack an armoured knight in full view of the public eye. Could they?

>2 Success


You had expected this collection of miscreants to flee immediately from your presence, but the stubborn folly of youth causes them to bristle at this stranger’s interruption of their fun. They clearly don’t want to get into an altercation with someone like you, but they’re also struggling to end the stand-off without looking like they’re backing down in front of the passing onlookers as the situation has caught some attention.

Your fingers twitch over the hilt of your blade, you really don’t want bloodletting on your first day in the Capital over some idiot teenagers. And on the day before your Vigil, to boot. Thankfully, you are interrupted by an armed patrol before any of them do something to escalate the impasse out of sheer bravado.

”Miles Tomson, shouldn’t you be minding your father’s shop?” The speaker is no Kingsman guard but a member of the Holy Order of the Knights Comitas, flanked by two more of his brethren. ”And Jeanne Younger, shall I let your mother know what you were up to at next Sendag prayers?”

The words seem as effective as a column of kingsmen in clearing the field, with a few mutterings of ”No needs, sir, was jus’ on our break s’all.” and an insolent glare or two at you and the beggar boy the gang disperses.

”They’ll consider attacking an armoured knight out of pride but back down at the mention of their mother at prayer?” You shake your head, wondering if everyone in the city is this crazy.

”We were all foolish in our youth once, I think we can agree. Salve Reginae send that their minds mature as their bodies do.” The Holy Knight kneels down to inspect the urchin. A few welts and bruises, but nothing as serious as the filth and malnutrition they already suffer from. ”You were lucky, child. Things may have turned out much worse for you before I arrived had this good knight not intervened.”

”Tell us your name, Sir Knight.” The grizzled man smiles, still kneeling.

”Andrei, sir. Emile Andrei.” You bow your head respectfully.

”Fanks, m’lord Andrei.” The beggar boy says to you both, too humbled to make eye contact. ”Fanks, m’lord Moray.”

While Gilles de Moray introduces himself the other two knights only nod at your introduction. An act which you find to be a little rude until you remember that many members of the Knights Comitas take vows of silence, chastity and poverty. Certainly these knights do not seem beggarly, though their cloth be rough and their armour plain. You’re familiar with the Knights Comitas, having served as a footsoldier on the Ardenne borders during your required tour of duty as all Romaine children do. You had been fortunate to avoid the worst of the Deadmen incursions, but the Holy Knights and their spartan lifestyle were demanding on their own. You remembered Mother and your sisters shaking their heads at your unrepentant gluttony at the feast held during your return. It was the best you had eaten in over a year.

The Knights Comitas, unlike several other orders, are widespread and operate independently for the most part. In contrast to the Order of the Broken Blade, and other Cain-aligned purely martial orders, the Knights Comitas funder, associate with and even directly control non-military missions such as a monasteries, nunneries and public places of healing for the downtrodden. Their members move from chapter house to chapter house at will, as these places are usually only stopping points on the way for guiding pilgrims and other holy missions. They are, to your knowledge, the only Holy Order to maintain a Chapter House in foreign lands, most famously in Cathagi at the start of the Long Walk. Even during your service you never understood how they distinguished the rank of one another in the order, not that it mattered for you at the time as they were all equally your superior during your time there.

I wonder how they direct themselves in combat without verbal communication. I'm guessing that the restriction does not apply to the written word and so those that do can communicate by doing so?

”Now, let’s look at getting you some food.” The waif looks up at Brother de Moray words, eyes wide and hungry. ”And perhaps a change of clothes, hm?”

”Food and clothes… almost werf losing dat gold coin over…”

”What gold coin?” The Knight Comitas say, standing up and stepping back to reveal the coin under his boot.

The beggar boy takes the coin with some hesitation, a development you feel uncertain about. Technically, him catching the coin might be considered an act of thievery. But their behaviour, and obvious possession of more wealth than sense, would probably make punishing the starving waif an act of cruelty instead of justice. Still, you don’t entirely approve of the Knight’s Comitas tacit approval of the boy winding up with the coin.

The other two knights help the boy up, dusting him off. You note that, aside from a few missing fingers and a torn ear they’re in relatively decent shape for a beggar and even younger than you had first though. You’d not be surprised to learn they had yet to see their tenth summer, if they even know when they were born.

”Sir Andrei. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.” Brother de Moray grasps your hand with a surprising vitality for an old man. ”And what brings a young knight of Romaine to Fair Aubrey? The bustling markets, the rumours of Court and whispers of the fair ladies, the stirrings of Royal Power?”

”The Vigil, Holy Brother.” You speak with more respect than knights of other Duchies might, Romaine has always had a close bond with the Church and its Orders.

”The Vigil, of course.” de Moray smiles. ”And do you come to pay your respects or stand the full night and day?”

Those higher in the command structure are generally exempt from the Vow of Silence, so we can infer that Gilles de Moray is at least a leader of his immediate squad of knights if not higher in rank. Even those of higher ranks may take the vow, and receive special dispensation to speak only what is necessary for effective command.

Taking the Vow of Silence does not proscribe the written word, but pious brothers will only communicate by such when it is a matter of necessity. Passing notes like school children in the brotherhood takes away from the purpose of the Vow.

How do anons generally feel about Emile possibly joining an order himself? Probably not right now as doing so might be a lengthy process for all we know and we've got other stuff to do, but as a long term prospect to consider.

Forgotten, if you dont mind me asking, other than purely martial orders and the Comitas, what other types of orders are there generally? Can they be based on Families? service to the king/queen? etc.

>>3262815
We've basically committed to serving a term of service with the dragonguard.

>>3262815
err depends on the state of our brother, if we find any good noble women waifus and if we ever go through something traumatic that would make us want to join an order.

>>3262815
>>3262828
Even then as long as our brother is heir-less it makes joining an order pretty risky unless its only temporary like the Dragon Guard.

>>3262815
Beside serving one term in the dragonguard, I don't really feel incline to join an order.

Recognize.

The faith and politics pastebin contain some a bit more detail on some of the major orders. On my phone so I can't post it here right now.

We are Faith incarnate

>>3262875
Oh yeah, kinda forgot that existed. Thanks for the heads up, I always enjoy reading lore, and for writing as tight as yours doubly so, since the world so far is pretty interesting and makes me want to know more.

After reading further, I could see Emile serving a stint with the Order of the Broken Blade. Maybe at the conclusion of his errantry.

I want to be Haughty about it, but also visit all the Shrines? Because, after all, why do what's merely expected when we can surpass it instead. Dream big!

Wasn't this a Companion quest? How do you expect people to NOT vote for this.

The pastebin is a bit large to repost here, but this is the link covering the major orders and I'll share some of the minor orders Sir Andrei may have heard of now.

https://pastebin.com/Cu4FPGVM

The vote is clearly in favour of declaring your pilgrimage, though I shall leave it to another vote later to see whether this shall be one of your sworn vows to complete.

I'll post a second update today, but I do not know if I will be able to post further updates during the weekend so forgive me if I appear tardy over the next couple of days.

>sign language
There is a rudimentary form of it for the order, though nothing so complex as that in the Order of Names. That order takes vows of silence for entirely different reasons though.

I am undone.

>>3262920
Cheers man, appreciate it.

>>3263074
This is perfectly in character. Andrei probably views the pilgrimage as a spiritual challenge that he is up to. Whether this compliments his endeavour or makes it more difficult remains to be seen.

>Wasn't this a Companion quest? How do you expect people to NOT vote for this.
I suspected anons would veer towards a full pilgrimage at some point, but this vote makes it an official stated goal.

>spoiler
With all this talk of it I really should give it a look.

These are just a few of the Minor Orders, I’ve only included ‘knightly’ orders as I’m sure you will meet pilgrims from non-military bodies during your journeys.

>Order of the Aeldin Tree (SecularOld Faith)
One of the oldest orders in Cantôn, pre-dating even the Brothers. Numbering no more than three knights at any given time, they stand a watch over the last Aeldin Tree in Aubres located in the Royal Gardens.

>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.

>Brothers Mѐdical (Adam-aligned)
Founders of the first established hospitals on the continent, the Brothers Mѐdical are in fact both medical professionals and knights. Essentially a branch of the Knight’s Comitas, this order works closely with non-knightly doctors, apothecaries and any half-decent herbalist to work to rid mankind of diseases and injuries that plague the world. Including two further Oaths; the first being to never do harm unless to immediately prevent graver harm being done, and the second to never refuse to give medical aid those in need, makes this one of the most exclusive and demanding orders. Their order has at times been censured by the Church for being not entirely in line with the harmony of the teachings of Salve Reginae, Adam and Cain.


>Creedos Catechism (Cain-aligned)
More a sect of the Broken Blade than a separate order, these warriors make the Broken Blade look virtually restrained in comparison. Out of all the Orders and Duchies it is only the Creedos that has continually launched raids against Ardenne itself, all ending in failure. Secretive and demanding of new recruits, it is whispered that members of this order adopt any measure, technology or sorcery to combat the gravest of threats. Their unflinching devotion and harsh zealotry may intimidate some, but when facing a rogue sorcerer or Dread Lord of Ardenne one of these knights is worth ten of any other order. While they work tirelessly against the Deadmen of Ardenne, it is rumoured that members of this Order have been reported to be operating as far as West of Langland and North of Norsikaa. God knows why.

>By the women at least, the men are still uncomfortable with the idea though they see the necessity.

Is this a line of thought common in Romaine? With their views on female folk, one thinks they'd be more accepting.

>>3263248
It's one thing to let women have the run of things, but another to let them start meddling in affairs that have traditionally been the purview of men alone. It's only accepted because the issue of strapping young males guarding your virgin daughter comes with its own issues.

So it's tolerated in Romaine, but viewed with incredulity in other Duchies.

“I mean to stand the full Vigil, Holy Brother. And then also at Motte-Fallavon Fields, Brother’s Landing in Pascae and the Long Walk in Cathagi.” It is the first time you have said the words aloud, and you know them to be right as soon as they leave your mouth.

”Hmmm. So he was right.” Gilles de Moray answers cryptically. ”Godsgrace I am glad to hear it, Emile Andrei. Too many of our young knights these days go through the motions without understanding, let alone making the commitment of spirit and body you intend. I bid you good day, Son of Ursen. I imagine we shall meet again soon.”

You’re left wondering what the grizzled Holy Knight meant, and why such a pious man would know of the old ways. It’s not something your family generally likes to speak of, not to members of the cloth at least.

That makes sense. Damn interesting though.

I wonder how emile will fare against one of them.

>>3263145
I would fully support the Haughty Idealist about the shrines.

Also Valen is an excellent read. Just be prepared for soul crushing failure on the Anons part since they can't blame it on bad rolls. In a way, it's very much the opposite of how you run quests.

Eventually you finally make your way through the winding, bustling streets of the Capital to your lodgings just as sun begins to dip over the city walls.

The Lion's Mane Inn gives far too much credit to the word 'Inn'. The magnificent wooden structure isn't a mere place of drinking, it's a Hall worthy of any great Lord. They say the King himself here comes for a drink on occasion, and true enough distinguished gentry rub shoulders with commoners at the end of a hard days work. Having a friend among the Reginate is clearly a boon of no small consideration. Despite the place being packed to the rafters, literally, Sir Gilbern waves you over to a table reserved for yourself and the other people of note from the Caravan. The ale is cool, the women pretty, the music loud and the laughter merry. Your inner socialite skips and dances as you make your way through the throng to the table. Is every night at the Lion's Mane this animated? Perhaps the delivery of a great deal of wine had something to do with it.

"Emile." Sir Rabe grasp your shoulder without warning.

"What is it, Karlaus?" Your friend has a serious and slightly intoxicated expression.

"The bedrooms here have wool. On the floor." The Montbrun says. "Not wood. Note stone. Wool."

"Those are called carpets, Sir Rabe." Sir Gilbern rolls his eyes, bypassing the overtaxed serving girls by bringing some ale mugs to the table himself.

"Carpets? Carpets. By God, you southerners have some bold notions." Sir Rabe says wondrously before taking another large swig of ale. "I want to take my shoes off..."

The table laughs and the ale pours freely. Your week-long journey is over, it is good to shirk off the armour and dust of the travel. Even the squires talk animatedly amongst themselves, their charges and tasks complete in time for a drink.
