“A Knight is Sworn to Valour. His Heart Knows Only Virtue. His Blade Defends the Helpless. His Might Upholds the Weak. His Word Speaks Only Truth. His Wrath Undoes the Wicked.”

Every child in Cantôn knows of the Knight’s Code. From peasant-born waifs playing with sticks in the mud to keen-eyed noble sons practicing with cold steel in the training yard, all have at the very least dreamed of one day becoming a knight themselves. To ride out on errantry into the Five Duchies Kingdom and beyond for God and Glory, bringing the Law of Adam to the wicked and the Blade of Cain to the beast.

The Knights of Cantôn are sworn to follow the Code, to obey the King, to refuse no call for aid honestly asked for, to seek out and destroy the Foe wherever it may lurk and rid the world of evil.

Were it so easy…

Many years from now, not far from home…

“Been a while since we’ve seen yon round these ‘ere parts.” The innkeep remarks wryly upon the entrance of the newcomer, setting down a mug and beginning to labour at another with his piece of cloth.

“Ah, but did you ever doubt my return?” The bard’s wide grin seems to encompass his entire face as strolled leisurely over the threshold. He leans against the bar as if he had been away days, not months. Or years.

“And miss out on the chance of a free meal?” The innkeep’s snorts derisively, but there is no venom in it. Instead, the burly man gestures towards a seat by the cackling fire. The bard’s unofficial spot, reserved just for him.

“And where is your goodwife?” The wandering troubadour offers a thankful nod at the mug of ale pressed into his hands. “I’ve cert missed her skill with the ladle and pot.”


“She’s up yonder.” The innkeep gestures up the stairs as he returns to his station. “Resting with the babe.”

“The babe?!” The bard blinks, for once taken aback. “Well I never. Congratulations, my good man! Boy or girl?”

“We’rnt me that did most o’ the work, but I thank ye all the same.” Even beneath the man’s impressive facial hair, the smile is impossible to conceal. “A Boy, and a big one at that. 10 weeks and growing. Judging from his lungs tho, you’d think him part wyvern or somesuch.”

“Hasn’t scared away all your customers, has he?” The bard smirks, glancing around at the empty tavern.

“Oh no, take more than that to put folk off a warm fire and stiff drink. ’Sides it’s early in the day yet, but I’d not mind a story or two to pass the time meanwhiles.” The innkeep pauses in his wiping, sparing an apologetic look for the newcomer. “Ifn’ ye don’t mind stoopin’ to an audience of one.”

“Oh I reckon I can manage to a fine bit of stooping, my old friend. Hmmm…” The storyteller pats his instrument, mind already stretching to any of the myriad branches of his stories too rarely explored. “In fact, I think I have just the right tale in mind. An opener, if you will…”

But welcome aboard Knigga.

>>5340601
I'd say just read the room and try to vote in character. We're a fairly pious and chivalrous knight who cares deeply for his people, hates copper clippers and believes the Almighty speaks to him via an angel. He's done some wild, wild, reckless shit in the name of honour and doing the right thing. Right now we're sailing across the sea into the land of filthy slavers and strange cultures to complete the final step on our pilgrimage and maybe join the Dragon Guard, an elite and well renowned group of mercenary bodyguards for the leader of Cathagi known as the "Dragon" (probably an actual dragon).

Also we've accidentally killed or maimed a number of people in duels, woops. I'll leave the rest for you to read about. You don't have to read the archives but I strongly suggest it, it's a great read. If you want to speed read just search Forgottens name and read the updates, not the discussion (although in between the screaming there is some really good discussion)

No idea sorry anon, I based my version off the original Mapbros stuff and just threw the island in there because he did and I liked it. It'd be up to Forgotten to answer that.

Speaking of, Forgotten are you happy with there Nova Cathagi and the associated river are or would you like them closer to the Cathagi Strait?

So the POV's are interesting seems like things might be kicking off in new places

>Damien
Heading home with our sister roselyn on a boat, seemed like we got the Reginate heat off him in Pascae But not the Kingsmen I realiised on the break

>Robert
Reginate shit is always going to mean big dick shit that should scare us, having used an attainment for the first time in a while on house Hewitt that might be a spark to ignite or at least begin a avalanche.

>Rabe
last we heard he was heading back to Montbrun with his sister and was a little worried about the snakemen who might be acting up, luckily the pass might hold them.

>Sir Marc
our loyal Boy is taking the now houseless lady Hewitt to serve our family I predict Grief and mistakes on the road

>Tracker Jean
last we saw her she was stuck on the other side of the Montbrun passes being hounded by Snakemen though luckily her refugee caravan and our wealth if I recall correctly were saved by the timely intervention of the Godric St. John and the order of the broken blade though the victory cost him and his order dearly

>Sir Glasdale
Our good friend who took up with a peasant girl and is looking after Tam the orphan who we saved on our first adventure, who knows what this POV could lead too...

I do believe the northmost Island is the orginal point from where they originated during the night of the three sister and is the stronghold of whatever horror created them.

>House Hewett

The most sterling example of a ''Noble'' house who in truth are little more than copperclippers, we started a Beef with Marco Hewett in Fallavon after an exchange of insults and a duel we won.

Turns out he's house was or at least he was involved in the Cathaggi slave trade selling peasants off to the slavers for coin, we told the Queens herald sir Gilbern and now the house wholesale is delenda est or desitute, the only survivor we know of are on Sir Gilberns word are the children of the house and Lady Maria Hewett who we choose to ask him to spare.

>>
>>5340819
So we apparently undergo a trial and get 2+ wealth before joining and then its a two year stint and +4 wealth before any rejiging forgotten might have done to the wealth system.

personally I think we could get more running caravans from Cathaggi to Pascae and then on to either Romanie or Montebrun using a few contacts who would likely be open to the idea.

It also locks us away for a great deal of time and isn't half as prestigous for folks in Canton.

I would very much like to hear more of our brother, but this could be our last chance for a while to hear of the some of the highest level of intrigue in Canton.
>>5340844
Ive rationalized it by continuing the comparison between Emile and a freight train. We cause mayhem as we pass thru the political scene and leave before people in power and influence know what happened. The best or luckiest of them, such as the Prince, easily outmaneuver our bulk and laugh at us as we plow by them. Now we pass the horizon, out of sight and sound. Canton gets complacent. Oh, all of those rumors about a bear night with connections between the most powerful, who crippled the ducal prince and helped catch a bunch of elite kiddie diddlers are just that rumors. Then two years later we come careening back to the kingdom, ruining years of planning, with only those who have met us frequently having any preparation for us and explanation for others.
Don't view it as us being locked away. Instead view it as Canton growing riper for our interference.

We said we'd let him know of any threats to Canton IF we heard of them nothing binding us to joining the Dragonguard, as for the prestiege Its a court a continent removed as well as socially and theologically removed from Cantons politicial sphere but I will have to pay that any detractions or appreciations of the position are a matter of context and speculation at this point.

>>5342054
>as for the prestiege Its a court a continent removed as well as socially and theologically removed from Cantons politicial sphere

You're not wrong but evidently it's still looked upon as a highly sought after position it seems

>>3248489
"That said, the Dragon Guard is a position of no small prestige. It’s exactly the sort of adventure that your eyes lit up at when tales of the Errantry of other great knights were told around the hearthfire"

I imagine there would be a few time skips as well. Seems like the kind of job where it's long stretches of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror. That and politics.
>>
>>5340590
p.s. it doesn't look like you announced the thread on your twitter
>>
>>5342066
Yeah if I'm too speculate cynically I'd say the position is sought after by either political climbers, copperclippers (For TRADE) or the more exotically inclined knights.

>Young Lord Damien Andrei, elder brother and heir to House Andrei only just!

Fenegan, 13th Day of Bacrimun, 883 A.C.E, Midday – Offshore of the Romani coast

Young Lord Damien Andrei watched the coastline drift by, close enough to shore to make out the rise and fall of the farmer’s backs as they laboured in rows collecting the harvest. Closer still was the glint of a spear in a watchtower one the shoreline, the impressive sea-washed marble at odds with the more recent wooden ramparts jutting out of it.
But there was no alarm coming, and the guard beneath the speartip slouched rather than stood at attention. The Litany of Solace flew her House Vidra colours proudly here, lest the ship be mistaken for a Cathagi raider. Damien blinked. They were not far from Vidra Isle now, and from there only a short stretch to Castle Andrei. Home.

“Pondering another letter to your sweet mountain lass?” That mocking tone and haughty smirk could belong to his elder sister, Young Lady Roselyn Andrei.

“I think I’ve penned enough during this voyage, and no way to send them. I hardly like the idea of ma belle Brunhilde receiving them all at once.” Damien barked a laugh at the thought, though honestly he doubted Young Lady Brunhilde Rabe would mind receiving a dozen letters at once. “Besides, I thought you liked her?”

“Hmm, yes I do admit I enjoyed the company of the little chatterbox. But, sweet as she is, it’s her father Lord Rabe’s iron markets that really seal the deal. Good steel is always at a premium in this Duchy, especially come winter.” Roselyn’s calculating expression looks Damien up and down, less as one sibling might regard another and more as how horse merchant might look at one of his wares on market day. “And it’s high time that we got you married.”

“Good to know I’ve got you watching out for me and the affairs of my heart, sis.” Damien scoffs, but there’s no venom in it. Truth be told, the heir of House Andrei had long ago made his peace with the fact his family would likely arrange his marriage with an alliance as the foremost consideration, and that love might not be a factor. He had not dared hope for as much. “In truth, I don’t mind. I… I think I would be happy. With her.”

“Good.” Roselyn spares her brother a sidelong glance, her tone softening as a she places a hand on his shoulder. “I’m glad.”

There is a long pause between the two eldest Andrei siblings, both watching the Romani shoreline roll by.

“Now.” Finally, Roselyn breaks the silence. “All we need next is to get your brother locked down with a wife.”

“Oh I don’t know…” The smile on Damien’s face widens. “I think Emile is doing well enough on his own on that front…”

“Damien, you know why. I’m not going to walk you through all the details of Emile’s political career but his debut was crippling the Duke Fallavon’s son and his latest achievement ended in leaving Port Bounty a political charnel house.” Roselyn shakes her head, pitying some Pascae schemer somewhere. “ And now he’s somehow managed to earn the Crown Prince’s ire. And we don’t even know exactly why.”

“He must be involved.” Damien pauses, glancing sideways to make sure they were alone. The House Vidra sailors had given little cause for distrust, but this kind of talk… it was the kind of talk that got people killed. “The Prince. Involved in exactly -what- I don’t know. But it’s the only explanation I can think of for making Emile his enemy.”

“I doubt the Prince thinks of Emile as an enemy. For one thing, our bother is still alive. An annoyance is more likely. Funny that our lack of import serves us well for once, the only saving grace is that our House is so far removed from these events in Fallavon and Pascae. The thought of Emile loose in the Duchess Romaine’s Court…” The very thought causes the eldest Andrei sister to shiver. “Until things calm down… and until Mother calms down… Honestly, him staying abroad might be the best thing for us all right now.”

“You forget yourself, sister.” Damien had been letting Roselyn rattle on for a while, but when he spoke something had changed. A subtle thing, a hardening of the voice and serious look that reminded Roselyn just how much Damien was like Father. “He has served us well, above and beyond the call of duty. House Andrei could not hope for a worthier champion… or a finer son. Odds are I’d be long dead and rotting in the woods if not for him.”

“You can’t seriously be considering taking on a member of the Royal Family if…” Roselyn’s wily smirk slips as she catches her brother’s stubborn expression. “Reginae wept, you are serious.”

“Not in open warfare, obviously-”

“Oh wonderful!” Roselyn exclaims, palm to forehead.

“-I’m just saying that if Em is on the wrong side of… of whoever these Faction people are, we should do what we can to help.” Damien crosses his arms stubbornly, remembering it’s what Father would do whenever he was making a rare decision that Mother didn’t agree with. “We are family. And Right Makes Might.”

“If the Prince is as involved as we suspect then all the Right in the world isn’t going to…” Roselyn takes a deep breath, reminding herself that Mother is always calm even when she’s furious. “Look Damien, I think our family’s best approach is to steer well clear and focus on building up our power base. The surest way to not lose a game you don’t understand is to not play. Still, there’s also merit in being aware of the what game is actually being played, and what the stakes are. Just promise me you’ll talk this over with Mother and Father before doing anything rash.”

Damien nods, returning his gaze to the Romani coast and the farmer’s labouring there. “…I promise.”

Jumping right in seems dumb, but so does ignoring it outright. Damien was too close to pretend nothing is going on the the Prince is no friend. Reach out and make cautious contact with Gilbern. It's the best way forward I reckon

No uncles, but you have several aunts that are married into various lesser Romaine houses. They would likely form part of Mother's network of contacts.

House Vidra is currently the most important ally, being Mother's family. It was mentioned previously, but before the Night of Three Sisters they were actual a vassal of House Andrei. One of your aunts is married to a relative in the other ex-vassal as well, but not directly on the seat of power. With your sister Anastajia marrying into House Norveski they would also be on good terms with you.

Individuals poking and proding around is one thing, but a house effort to do the same will lead to like kind being thrown our way, if not more.
The truth is we are better off keeping our heads down. The better we consolidate an anti faction power stronghold, the better off we are when we start poking around and asking questions. But that said, the fact we don't know what it truly means to be anti faction is a problem in and of itself.
So the only thing to he done is to at least get the basic information, learn about what we're dealing with, and act accordingly from there.

I didn't finish rereading the archives yet, but i definitely recall the Crown Prince being attended by one of the Lost Sons. Did we ever talk to Gilbern about that fact, or about our identity as the mystery knight who fought Anger? Seems like something we should have maybe gotten over with before we headed off Carthage.

I sincerely soubt that Emile is even remotely inhabitable by now. He has nearly no Thorn aspect, and i'm pretty sure the Sons of Sin look for knights whose hearts are as black as theirs. The Red Paladin might have sensed the touch of his brother upon Emile, or perhaps just noticed the magic on his person.

Mate, the knights of the Ordo Reginae are the Queens hands and blades. As Forgotten said in the early threads, the Thorn path is travelled both by the selfish and the ideologue. Gilbern, for instance, is a torturer, murderer and liar at the very least. All for the sake of his beloved Queen of course, but he is happy to sacrifice as many innocents as is needed to bring about the downfall of her enemies.
Every knight in that crypt was among the Queens most trusted warriors. Each one was considered so loyal to her that they could be trusted with the truth about the Sons of Sin. They were ironically among the worst picks for fighting a Son since all of them were probably about 50/50 Cain and Thorn.

More fun paranoia inducing information about the Sanguine Paladin is that he was sighted (by us in the lantern vigil) 800 years ago fighting the Foe and is known as Metaxas Sinclarus, Legatus Cain’s Chosen. Assuming it's the same red armoured knight (which it seems to be).

This is probably the best course of action. We should probably ask Ros to handle correspondence with the Reginate/Gilbern as I don't think Damien wants to involve Mother too deeply in our escapades and isn't in great standing with them. He also seems like a presentable lad and she needs a husband.

I'd like to add in reaching out to the various Houses we've befriended (Norveski, Rabe, not a House but Willem Glasdale, etc.) for aid, not in politics, but in everything other than politics. Similar to the already mentioned Rabe steel trade, any trade agreements, mutual martial aid, or even just information exchanges could help relieve pressure off House Andrei in these now uncertain times.

Blindly preparing for an unknown threat is useless, committing the entire house's resources to an unknown threat is foolish.

Hopefully they will be on even better terms after Emile bested and killed (?) Sir Broulert during the duel at Pascae. Ironic, given that Broulert died from drowning, and House Vidra is a sea-faring house.

Fenegan, 13th Day of Bacrimun, 883 A.C.E, Midday – Offshore of the Langlish coast

Two months. It has been two months to the day since you set sail from Port Bounty to complete the last leg of your pilgrimage. It feels like years…

You snap out of your musings and dodge to the side, avoiding the thrust of Mikail’s dulled blade. You grunt, leaning into the attack with a series of blows. He manages to fend you off, barely. Several sailors at ease on the deck applaud but most go about their own business, these little daily sparring sessions were entertaining at first, but after months at sea these martial displays have lost much of their novelty to the grizzled Langlish crew. Turning your attention back to your squire, you notice that his mop of black hair has come free of the his flattop helm. The sweat causes it to remain plastered across the left side of his face but, to the lad’s credit, he doesn’t let that distract him.

You’ve long stopped viewing the lowborn peasant boy from Andryski as unwanted baggage, instead settling more comfortably into your roles as master and apprentice. While you had long considered the boy to be a hard worker, if a little dull, now you can honestly say you see the young lad’s potential. He’s no Roiguard material, not by any stretch, but at some point in his training that lofty station has become less a wishful pipedream and more a goal to work towards.

Father Towbray has been helping the boy with his letters, but progress has been slow and there’s not a lot of new reading material to be had on a ship at sea. Even less opportunity to practice his courtly manners, although to be fair his hiccups at previous societal events fell short of being described as outright social disasters.

All that leaves is cleaning armour and sparring, and you have made it your personal mission to ensure that he’s been doing a lot of both every day.

[1/2]
>>
[2/2]

You follow through as Mikail ducks under your swing and turn to finish him off. Suddenly you halt, pausing in the middle of your backstroke. You blink at the minor sting of pain in your left leg. You fell for a feint, and a poorly disguised one at that, but in your distracted state you missed the tell-tale signs and instead committed to your lunge and gave him his opening.

It’s the first clean hit your squire has done on purpose with the two of you sparring in earnest and the boy looks like he’s just about ready to explode with pride. But it pleases you to see that he’s disciplined enough not to loosen his stance in the elation of the unexpected score. Mikail is still far from the skill required of an anointed knight, but he's coming along and you’d reckon he’d give some of Father’s greener men-at-arms a run for their wages.

“Hmm, I actually felt that.” Your hand brushes the back of your knee, where even the master-work plate must make allowances in protection for freedom of movement. “Well struck, squire. Let’s finish up for today on that note.”

“Tired already, milord?” Mikail pants, but his grin falters and cheeks go even redder as you glance back of your shoulder.

I was going to suggest we give him our old breastplate and we can pass the chain mail on to someone maybe Orin? anyway he should learn as a knight that he'll be fighting in heavy armour in a fight and he'll need to be trained for that.

As for the Idealist choice respect is due to us mentoring him.

This was discussed in previous threads, while he doesn't have the build for the breastplate, helm and greaves fitted to your size to be much more than a hinderance right now he will eventually grow into it.

Right guess we'll have to get him his own Breastplate or harness at some point then.

He should be proud of scoring a hit,distracted or no, but the outburst at the end demands his exuberance be cooled. You must be in control of yourself, not just when fighting, but also afterwords. If he does the same while fighting someone else, they may be offended enough to seek retribution.

STALWART trait tested

Mikail of Andryski has followed you without hesitation from the depths of monster’s lairs in Grenmire to the untamed reaches of the Fallavon forests. He has showed courage, if not particular talent, in each battle by your side. You have tested his mettle and not found him wanting. But overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer. You will not have your squire’s death on your hands as Sir Marcel Rousseau believes to have his nephews on his.

“All fire and vinegar, I see.” You remark dryly, keeping the humour out of your voice. Clicking a finger to your manservant Orin, you bid him to attend you. “Bring out my old breastplate. We will see how energetic my squire is after fighting in that.”

Mikail of Andryski paints a comical figure once he adorns the breastplate and accoutrements. They were designed with you, a full-grown man and a tall one at that, rather than a pubescent boy in mind. The armour hangs off him like an ill-fitting scarecrow and he moves uncomfortably under the weight. By comparison, you move like lightning.

“A touch to me, I should think.” Mikail blinks at your voice, not quite sure how your dulled blade ended up under his armpit so quickly.

“Er… right you are, milor-“

“Again!” You leave determined to get a decent workout and demonstrate to your squire how far he has to go yet.

*CLATTER*

“My touch.” You speak over the rattle of your squire picking himself up from the deck. “Again.”

Again and again the sparring, if it can be called that, continues. Always with the same result. Spectating sailors make the occasional noise in sympathy to the embattled squire, cementing yourself in some of their eyes as a pitiless teacher if there ever was one.

*TING*

“My touch.” Even a bystanding pilgrim, well used to your punishing martial exchanges, winces at the ringing sound of one of your blows to the helm that sends your young squire reeling. “Again."

*CLANG*

“My touch…” On and on it goes, until finally you take pity on your charge and offer him a way out. Surely the boy has learnt his lesson. “Alright. Had enough for today, squire?”

Mikail of Andryski pants heavily in response. His shoulders are sagged, his shield-arm hangs loosely by his side and his blade is barely hanging centimetres off the ground. His stance is utter dogshit, as your old Master-at-Arms would say. But you can’t read the expression on his face behind that old helm of yours.

“If… if it please… milord…” The boy gulps for air in between each handful of words. “We… could call it…. a draw.”

>Your squire gains the RESILIENT trait.
> Able to withstand a surprising level of physical punishment, your squire will not easily be put down and, if put down, will not easily stay down for long.

>Your squire gains the HAUGHTY conversation trait.
>Like teacher like pupil. His deep, stubborn pride in his position as squire to the greatest knight in the world is reflected in both his service to you and his interaction with others.

The kid has heart, I’ll grant him that. You think to yourself as you signal for the next round to begin. Almighty willing… we will make a knight of you yet, boy.

You close the distance mercilessly, sweat dripping down your back. At the last gasp, all that your squire can offer is an exhausted swing, so slow that you can quite literally walk under it and gently shove your opponent with your shield. Barely a shove, a nudge really, and your squire teeters backwards on exhausted legs and lands flat on his back.

“Orin, help him up and get him out of armour. Water first, then see Sister Ignatius about some salves for the bruises.” You can hazard a guess that there will be a fair few. “…I’ll give you tomorrow and Sandag to recover. We resume on Monegan.”

You look up at the afternoon sun, not a little bit short of breath yourself, and find your stomach growling. The extended sparring lesson has ploughed straight through lunch, though thankfully Orin has set aside a serving for you and Mikail on the deck. It’s cold now, but you’re hungry enough for that not to discourage you and look around ship for your usual mealtime companion.

This will get him in so much shit down the road. But damn if it doesnt bring a fucking tear to me eye. Adam bless ye, boy.

My thoughts as well. Our squire is the best, but we should work on his courts skills as well. Poor etiquette coupled with haughtiness probably doesn't mix well together. I'm very curious to see what his next traits will be.

A man can dream of a time when, may the angel forgive me for saying this, Langlish contacts can come in handy for an assault on the Isle of the dammed.
On that note, have all the attempted reclamations of our duchy been targeted at the old capitol or has anybody actually tried to root out the rot at it's source? Because if we are working on droid army rules destroying the island seems like the easier option.

With Rousseau Emile can have the same conversation on religion but come to his own conclusions without the influence of the fire and brimstone of Towbray... Plus it's time for a fresh prospective that we'll hopefully get on the next leg of the pilgrimage

“Ah, L’Orso Tempesta. Must you be so hard on that poor boy?” Captain Alfonso Verdicci frowns admonishingly, but the exaggerated pout of his lips betrays the joke in his tone. “I’ve rarely seen masters treat their servants so ill.”

“He’s a squire, not a manservant.” You unclasp your gauntlets, setting the cold bowl of broth to one side. “An apprentice, of sorts.”

“Aha.” Captain Verdicci nods knowingly. “This was a prova then, a test of sorts? Did he pass?”

“You know…” You look back over to your squire on the foredeck, pausing from gulping down water to wince as Sister Ignatius lifts his bare arm to inspect an especially impressive welt. “I could be inclined to say he did.”

The two of you discuss at length the voyage, a topic that’s been covered more than once in between you regaling him with tales of battle on the continent and him recounting his close calls with weather and pirates alike. The whole voyage was supposed to take two months, including the round trip stopping at Langland, now you’ll be lucky to disembark in Cathagi before three. Still winds on the stretch between set you back by a few weeks, and now a further week the Coy Siren has remained anchored at the port of Capara. Captain Verdicci swore they had promised a berth, yet here you still remain.

And now you are fast approaching autumn. A fair time for farmers at harvest, less so for sailors at sea. Nothing compared how rough it can get on seas in winter, according to the Coy Siren’s captain Alfonso Verdicci. But he too seems does seem , but you think you can tell that he too is frustrated by the slow progress and this latest delay. Or at least he did until today, he informs you that Capara has at last secured them a spot to dock and entry into the harbour to resupply.

“Praise the Almighty, it's about time.” You glance at the Langlish Captain. “No reflection on you, of course. But what was the cause for making us wait? A plague? A coup? Some natural disaster? We’ve heard nothing as to why.”

“Nothing so dramatic.” Verdicci says with a grin. “The College of Admirals has been called, the port you see today is rarely half as full. Only today has a berth been made available. Though I suppose you could come some of the Admirals natural born disasters…”

“College, you say?” You remark, then realise how rude you sound. “Forgive my surprise, it’s just you didn’t strike me as a scholar.”

“A scholar of the sea, maybe. If your Cantish fancies go in for some romantic rubbish like that. But no, me a scholar? Far from it.” Captain Verdicci snorts. “Any Captain of Langlish allegiance can attend, whether they are a professor or as literate as an ordinary fisherman. The plaza is where they voice their greivances or ideas in a public forum. It is an old tradition, no real power in it so to speak. Still… things that move the mob in the plaza often make their way to the forefront of La Famiglie minds in setting policy. And keep an eye on the most popular potential rivals.”

“And this… ‘debate’, it’s open to the public?” Bemusement creeps into your voice. Langlish politics, in the form of public argument. What an odd notion. “Anyone? Even foreigners?”

“Of course, there is no barring of entry for spectators. And not every Langlish Captain is born on our fair island.” Verdicci pauses, frowning thoughtfully. “Though I admit all the current Admirals are. As a mere Captain of a single vessel, my voice is worth less. But it is the ship, my love of the sea and the port I call home that grants me a spot, not my birthplace.”

“…” You say nothing. You knew Langland to be a godless place, one that valued wealth above blood and honour. But you had assumed there was some semblance of national pride holding it together. From what the good Captain is telling you, any Free Captain that flies Langlish colours can have their say regardless of whether their ship was built in the docks of Pascae, Cathagi or even Norsikaa.

“This surprises you, I see. In truth, I’d not planned on attended this season’s meet. It is mostly a lot of strutting and noise, usually you will find me all too happy to miss that pavona Moretti’s grandstanding. Now that I am here though…” Captain Verdicci shrugs non-committedly. “We need supplies for the break to the Cathagi strait, this will take a day or two anyway. But for a little longer, a week at most, I can attend to some other business of my own. As for the College… it never hurts to keep one’s finger on the pulse of current affairs.”

The Captain is not asking for permission of course, this is his ship and he has the final say in how long the Coy Siren stays docked. But you get the impression that he is trying to gauge whether a slightly longer stay will go over well enough with his passengers.

===============================

The captain's good will is pretty good and this sort of event should give us a good idea on the political climate of Langland. Also I wouldn't mind putting a few langish bravos in their place should the opportunity arise.

Suspicious.... maybe we should take note and try to garner some information on this? cospicuous entry on our part might be hard but we did promise Sir Gilbern we would keep an ear out for threats to Canton and keeping the captain in good graces is a step towards that and prehaps even trade contacts should we need some.

A quick run down of local laws might be a good idea, especially if we're going to go and "do" shady stuff, additionally being in good standing may well be worth it down the line, since we may well need to arrange the return trip for the pilgrims.

I have the feeling whatever the Captain has on mind, it's a bit too "vulgar" for us. After all, we're a knight of Canton, not some Langlish mercenary! But, I would definitely want to see what the Island has to offer.

>Ardenne is right next to the Deepwood
What do we know about Deepwood thus far? I don't recall hearing about it being a Fey stronghold, and considering the deep green coloring (as well as the name) it seems wilder than even the furthest glades of Motte-Fallavon.
Did the Dread Lords come from the Deepwood?

To be fair, the deep green was an artistic choice. I didn't actually have any artistic direction on that when I made it, I partly based it off the previous version of the map and party just because it's called "Deepwood". If the map was actually accurate you'd likely see a lot more dark green up by Motte-Fallavon as well

>>5346882
I highly suspect the Dreadlords were either an Inside Job to prevent Ardenne-Romaine from splitting off from Cantonor a Human sorceror/s
>>
>>5346825
I am also interested in the mountain-ridge in the middle of the subcontinent. It's clearly much smaller than the one separating Canton from the wastes, but it seems large enough to present a natural barrier to movement and trade.

>>5345664
Forgotten, if you don't mind i'd like to ask a few questions about the map and our general knowledge about it.
One: Is Ardenne the tiny islet right next to Deepwood or the landmass separated from the rest of Romaine by the Montbrun mountains? I seem to recall you saying that the crown of Romaine was an island city, but the map indicates that the entire region is Ardenne.

Two: Do we have any IC knowledge of the Deepwood? Any vague rumors or legends about kingdoms of the dead or strange beasts and people living there?

Three: Do Pegasi live exclusively in the Montbrun mountain range or is there a population living in the Fallavon mountains as well? Do we recall any rumors about the region?

Feel free to refuse to reply to any of these questions. I'll take anything i can get and be happy with that.
>>
>>5346887
>inside job
You think there's a faction in Canton with the ability to field legions of the dead? The Dread Lords are probably fey necromancers, yeah, but i really doubt they were in any way connected to Canton.

Okay, i just had a thought. Remember the undead thing that attacked us when we were escorting pilgrims? The thing made by desperate fey during the War of Names? The Fey were always few, but orders of magnitude more powerful sorcerers than humans. They also seem to have invented necromancy. The Dread Lords could easily be the twisted remains of those Fey nobles who first invoked magic to raise the dead for war.
>>
>>5346893
Yeah I could see that, seems believable enough. I'd also like Forgotten to answer your questions about the map so I can update it to be as accurate as possible
>>
>>5346883
Oh yeah. I forgot that the map was anon-made (thanks based map-bro). Still, it seems like Deepwood might be a realm still ruled by the Wild then, especially considering what >>5346884 said.
Not that any of this concerns us in the immediate future. I'm just autistic about filling in the map.

their was a implication somewhere in the early threads or the foes pastebin about the deadmen having influence in Canton I believe, weither thats Dracaula-esque deadmen or actual mortal servants remains to be seen their is also the matter of the Romaine covenant that got slaughtered that our mother(?) mentioned in the first letter from home.

as for Fey necromancers I doubt that, the Enclave had a deepest lore book denoting it as a Anomaly and I really REALLY wish we had picked it up with the crit favor but Jess came first on that.

>>5346896
If I'm to speculate slightly on the Deepwoods, the Fae in Fallvon seem to be a Enclave, this kind of implicitly imply their is a home region and we have a very short list of where that could be.

Interesting. I haven't finished rereading the archives yet, so i'm working mostly off memory. It makes sense for the Fey to not be native to Canton, considering that the geography of the area (a large, protruding landmass cut off from the wider continent by mountains) indicates that Canton was an island until relatively recently on a geological scale. The Montbrun range is the result of Canton colliding with the rest of the continent, just like the Himalayas in real life.

Since the Wild managed to completely overtake the area, Fey must have either been seafaring (which i think we'd have heard about) or been the closest species able to survive in the climate. If Deepwood is where Fey come from it all makes sense, since Canton is probably too cold for Snakemen to inhabit.

The absence of Beastmen in Cathagi could also indicate that they evolved (presuming that any of the races evolved naturally) on Canton while it was still an island, and were incorporated into a symbiosis with the Fey when they arrived.
Of course, this would be millions of years ago. Literally just idle speculation.

“The College of Admirals, eh? Sounds entertaining enough.” You give the Captain a sidelong glance, his tone hinting his other business might go less than smoothly. “As for this other matter… You wouldn’t happen to need an escort, would you?”

“Even the sea’s furies pale before a paramour scorned.” Captain Verdicci puffs his cheeks. “But no, I should hope nothing of the sort is required. My ex-wife prefers words to blades if she wishes to cut a man down. Although… well, if things go very wrong I will keep your offer in mind.”

“Your ex… what?” In Cantôn, the bonds of marriage are for life. The only exception you can think of is a finding under Church Law that the marriage was not valid in the first place, a rare thing indeed. “Did a bishop annul the marriage?”

“Annul? I do not know this word.” Captain Verdicci now seems as confused as you, and Cantish not being his first language only exacerbates the “ I can assure you no bishop was involved in annul, I’m no cuckold. But the divorce settlement is the main reason why I have one ship, not two.”

The Captain’s response makes little sense to you. You’re not sure if this was some major mistranslation, or but you decide not to press the matter further. He does not seem offended at least, just confused why you mentioned priests when he started talking about his ‘ex-wife’. Thankfully the Captain’s First Mate, a rakish looking man by the name of Yori, approaches with a matter of docking procedure before you can let your curiosity get the better of good manners.

You’ve just finished feeding Courageous Sky a string of salted meat by the time the Coy Siren is docked. All around you the sailors busy about securing rigging and ensuring everything is locked down, drawing lots for who gets to go ashore first. The sooner they do so, the sooner they can enjoy their short respite.

“Guard your heart, my boy.” Father Towbray frowns at the Langlish port, “The riches and graces of this world of men can prove enticing, but pale to the righteousness of the Kingdom of Heaven. They are but hollow airs and vanities in the end.”

"Guarded in plate and faith both." You nod, wise words. After all, would you not cast all your worldly wealth into the sea if but the Almighty bid it? You hope so. “Would you be joining us, Father?”

“And find myself robbed blind in this godless hive of scum and villainy? I think not.” Your wiry confessor sniffs, flicking a dismissive hand as others make their way down the gangplank. “No you will find me right here, preaching the evils of usury and greed to these heathen wretches by the docks. Pearls before swine, I much suspect.”

You look down the gangway to Sister Ignatius and her nuns setting up a station already. There is already a line-up of beggars and broken things awaiting treatment, though several shuffle out of line once they realise there is no free food or spare coin to be had from the healing sisters.

“She has a kind heart, the good Sister.” Father Towbray nods, following your gaze. It has been two months and he has not asked if the Angel has visited you again, not even during your regular confessions. “Too kind, if one was to be uncharitable.”

“Too kind, Father?” You frown, watching a dockside worker with an exaggerated limp approach the sister’s stall. You’d spotted him moments before, and he seemed to be walking just fine. ]“Salve Reginae was kind. Is it not a saintly virtue?”

“Aye, she was. The very soul of mercy and kindness, our Mother was.” Father Towbray’s bony hands grasp his rough red cloth as he walks away, leaving you these parting words. “But it was not Salve Reginae’s kindness that struck the Dragon down...”

While redemption may be far from the thing we fought beneath the earth, the Almighty would surely not abide a being upon His creation which was truly beyond salvation. While Man may have been chosen to inhabit the Kingdom of Adam, all things - from the humblest worm to the mighty Dragon - are subject to His judging eye. To hate the Foe is only human, but we have been chosen by His angel to be better. We should strive to forgive the Foe even as we slay it. To deliver the judgement of Cain with the mercy of Salvae Reginae.

Yeah thats basically my theory, the Cathagi continent may be the human subcontinent and it wasn't till the Brothers landing that humans were present enough to become an endemic enough species for the Fey to deal with since humans were from that point on a systemic threat to the ecological system the Fey hold dear.

Blade and shield may be necessary, but does the Book of Brothers not teach that Salve Reginae's sacrifice was the most noble?
Men cling to hatred and fury when faced with the Foe. We cannot fault them for their failings, but we must be more. You would hate the Foe even knowing what lies at the end of that path? Having fought the monster it birthed?

Sectarianism is a tool for lesser men who are too weak of mind and heart to unify the teachings. Father Towbray - Almighty bless him - is a troubled man, his wisdom in spite. We should take this opportunity to remind him that violence is a tool used to defend the virtues the Almighty holds the highest, not something with innate value.

Can we debate him a little?
"Was she not guided in that mercy by the Almighty? It is not our due to question the Almighty plan for the Dragon but take lessons for that mercy given; for if the Dragon is deserving of mercy at the hour of his execution so too are we sinners giving the Almighty's mercy for our trespasses."

I liked to think our sister that wants to join a nunnery try to explain this to us at one point.

Alright. I'm adding a write-in for chastising our confessor to my vote:

We live our lives surrounded by the Foe. They lurk within the woods and beyond the mountains. Over the sea and even hidden in our midst. It is our duty - our trial - to keep the Almighty-fearing men and women of Adams kingdom safe from the predations of all that assails them, and to that end we take up arms. But does our feats of arms please the Almighty? If the Foe angered Him with its very presence, would He not undo them with a thought? No, He is pleased because by slaying the Foe, we protect the weak and the pious. To protect and embody all that is virtuous in this world - that is why we fight. Salve Reginae's legendary mercy is something every man, woman and child should strive towards. To let go of hatred and anger and hold only compassion in our hearts even for those our blades cut down."

If it its to the point where we must kill someone to prevent greater evil, that is a failing on our part or others before us. We have a Fae save us and swear herself to us The only exception I can think of is the Sons of Sin but they are....special. If the souls of those they posses are trapped in the body, killing the SoS will hopefully free them.

We promised to show Jess the whole map, though I hope hat after seeing a few foreign lands, she will return to Canton with a greater appreciation of her home. Mikhail would do with sightseeing for the same reason. It'll help him learn one or two good things about the Langlish and avoid the hundred bad things. Also, make sure they keep an eye on each other so they stay out of trouble.

Reginas sacrifice was noble and rightly so but would have been rendered pointless had Adam & Cain not razed Cathaggi and smote the Dragon, without those actions to protect the weak and smite the wicked her suffering would have been another footnote in the long grinding tragedy of misery that is Cathaggi and the slave trade. to that end Adamite or Cainite must not forget who and what the foe is capable of so that the dispensers of Regina's mercy and kindness are not abused.

The abuse of the sanctity of marriage is just another example in the long list of the examples of why we should be wary of the Langlish.

From the monsters pastebin:
>"Cursed Land/Varies – 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."

Seems i was wrong. The dead aren't rising because the Fey delved too deep into their magics. They have been rising for a long time, all over the world...

The section on the Fey also sheds some light on their origins. They indeed come from the Deepwood, and it is implied that the beastmen were the first inhabitants in Canton too.
>>
>>5346995
My brother in faith, you forget yourself! The Almighty has no need of strength: He is the ALMIGHTY. Power and violence are tools gifted to man in His wisdom only so that we may keep His virtue. It is important to recognise the necessity of violence, of course! But to call the blessed Lady Salve Reginae "too kind" is to imply that that virtue is incorrect! By the Almighty, if a knight swings his sword without protection of the faithful in his thoughts, then that man is worse than a heretic! He is - Almighty forgive me for even uttering this word - A COPPERCLIPPER!!!
>>
>>5347103
I think you're grouping the cursed lands a little too much together in their genesis, the Wodenkai was different to any of the deadmen we encountered on campaign in Romanie and to attribute either the black ship or the far north to a undead curse seems foolish without anything besides a tangential anecdote.

Not everything is related to the deadmen or they fey or even the sons of sin and the world is a vast place. Though I am reminded a little of warhammer in regards to some of these cursed lands Ardenne already felt like a Sylvania clone but the far north smacks of the Chaos wastes and the Black ships sound similar to the dark elf corsairs.

Father Towbray is right, but the option to agree with him is too extreme. Even the Blade of Cain is aimed to let the innocent live in peace, which is a form of kindness.

Wew lad slow down on the adamism Cainism is a legitimate part of the church.

More seriously you misplace his reference he refers to sister ingnatius as too kind not the Regina and indeed she cares for those who would ask aid free and readily without scrutiny but as we can see their are those who would take advantage of that kindness to the cost of those in need of genuine care and kindness.

Also if we seriously think everyone is capable of redemption where does that leave hast Vancewell? The Hewett's and our part in their attainment? Craig of low grove? The bluejays? Even the sons of sin? and all that wretched villany we encountered in Pascae from the butchery to abusers of children?

Redemption can only go so far sometimes the allmighty demands righteous retribution in this fallen world.

While Cain may have left the building of the kingdom of Heaven to his brother, it would be the gravest heresy to even imply that he did not fight to protect it! The path of Cain is thus equally violence in service to virtue!

And yes, even the blackest of hearts is not beyond redemption! You appeal to anger at the atrocities comitted by the Foe, but it is anger that blinds you to the divine mercy of the Almighty. Cain does not teach us to hate the Foe. Only to slay it. Salve Reginae teaches us to love the Foe, even as it is slain.

Right makes Might. Emile is chosen by the Almighty for this reason, and has at, at (almost) every instance, shown mercy when it was possible. He let Craig of Lowgrove live instead of executing him on the spot when that scum sucking copper clipper betrayed his trust. He allowed Sir Hewett a moment's breath during their duel when he heard him yield under his breath, only to be taken advantage of, and still ended up winning the combat. He let those slavers scurry off into those tunnels instead of cutting them down where they stood, going as far as breaking his vow of honesty to do so.
Despite these instances where bloodshed would have been a justified course of action, Emile chose mercy. Because try as the Foe may to undermine and destroy him, Emile's is Just in his actions and strives to uphold his knightly virtues, because he does the right thing. And Right Makes Might.

Although I also like the idea of rebuking him for criticizing the Reginae. Without her kindness, there is nothing to defend.

>>5347640
Also maybe there is a good reason why the Salvae Reginae and her sons were all so very different from each other. Maybe all qualities can't exist in one person, but that doesn't mean they aren't necessary to have together. Fulfilling one role doesn't grant the right to disparage the others.

And was not Adam undo by the betrayal he suffered in sacrifice? Our foes are many and duplicitous and we must be eternally vigilant in our vigil and ready to meet them be they in sheepskin or not. I do not hate the foe as you claim I bear what they are, what they desire and what they scorn and debase in mind when dealing with them, you are right Cain does not advocate violence for violences sake but he does render retribution and justice to those who would evade it.

>>5347654
thats exactly the point, trying to emulate the brothers and Salve Regina creates contridictions, as do our knightly vows the real challenge and fun is navigating them and Emilles very real human desires and emotions, the Path of Adam is not always correct nor Cain's or even the path of Thorns nor are they always wrong or prudent decisions, I suspect clinging to tightly to any path will create issues for Emille.

In the end, the college of admirals is nice to have but not necessary. By the wording of the choice, it looks like we may be going into a situation where we need our strong shield arm. In that case, give me that AV reroll.

For coversational rerolls we have:

I'm on the Daubeny Train, but it would be stupid not to make use of the intrigue bonuses in Langland of all places. The Langlish are born copper clippers and the spirit of Lady Frida should serve us well.

Only beacause Langland reminds me of Vancewell. I can smell the political intrigue here and while I can tell there will be excitement, I feel that the longer we stay here, the more likely there will be a death. I hope that when we get to Cathagi, its distance from home will make us think of Daubeny instead, as her smile, plus the land is larger with more areas of minimal civilization,, so there will be more bandits and AV will be more important.
Plus, it will likely have keep Daubeny's favor on longer if we wear it before the start of the inevitable timeskips.

You think on Father Towbray’s words for some time, and find yourself daring to disagree with your confessor in this. You’re no theologian, doubtless your little sister Halina would put your feelings better into words on the matter. But you know this much, kindness is a virtue not a weakness. Far from it. Cain’s rage is righteous not because it is powerful, but because it protects the powerless. It is Right that makes Might, your forefathers knew this well enough to reinforce it in their heraldry. Cain was right to strike the Dragon down, but was Adam wrong to heed his mother’s wish and spare him? No.

This fallen world needs folk like Sister Ignatius, just as it needs men such as you to protect them.

If anything, the belief that forgiveness is not beyond any of you is a great comfort. Your hand self-consciously touches where the black-lace favour rests beneath your shoulder-plate. Although you try to lead a virtuous life, especially in light of the Angel’s attention, you know you are not without sin. When you pay your obeisance to the home where Salve Reginae, Mother of Mercy, raised her sons in Nova Cathagi… For your petty human failings… you will dare to ask for forgiveness.
Almighty Willing.

>Jess the Kid Loyalty sidequest …pending…

“My thanks again for keeping an eye on these good pilgrims.” The Knights Comitas inclines his head as if to say of course. “You're too modest by far, I find that I can always count on you.”

The man has not uttered a single word since he took his oath of silence in Aubrey, where your pilgrimage first began so many months ago. But you take great comfort in his silent strength. He has never shirked from assisting you in any manner, waiting without complaint for near a month when you set off to the Fallavon wilds in search of your brother. From battling brigands in Derbyshire to standing guard over your crippled form in the wake of the Brother’s Landing vigil, he has been ever an erstwhile ally as he walks his own road to redemption.

“Land. Praise the Almighty, solid land!” Your squire sinks to his knees after coming down the gangplank. You note with some amusement that when the boy gets back up he does so hand on one knee at a time, like some half-cripple old-timer rather than the youth he is today. “Ow. Owowow…”

>Mikail is BATTERED status for the next day

You’re on the cusp of uttering some remark along those lines when you notice Jess the Kid is still hovering about the end of the gangplank. Her expressionless mask looks skittishly to the left and right, up and down. Finally, tentatively, they take their first step off the gangplank onto foreign shores. They take a second step, then a third, hopskipping like they’re afraid the cobblestones will burn their feet. On the fourth step they pause and, again tentatively, lift up their left boot to inspect the pile of dung they stepped in. You’ve always known Jess to be sure-footed, so you have to supress a sly chuckle at seeing them put a foot wrong right in front of you. Judging from the jerk of her neck at you, you didn’t supress it nearly enough.

“…” Jess the Kid looks up at you, their porcelain mask sabotaging all attempts at discerning their expression. With great trepidation, they unsling a pouch from their neck and hold it out for inspection. “…Firren. Terra, firren!”

You step back in shock at her spoken words, before quickly looking around to see if anyone’s noticed the Fae dialect. No one has, though that is to be expected at the dockside ringing with a dozen different languages. As for the pouch, you peer closer with no small amount of apprehension as Jess unwraps it. It… appears to be… dirt. This wode Fae archer of yours has been carrying a pouch of dirt slung around their neck for Almighty knows how long. They cradle the pouch cautiously, as if they were a fat merchantman protecting his coinpurse in a bad part of town.

“That’s… very nice.” You offer a nonplussed compliment. “Yes, very nice dirt indeed.”

“Terra. Firren.” The Fae says insistently, before giving up and wrapping the soil back up in the pouch and placing it around her neck again. “Laksa, terra firren.”

“I’m sorry I don’t-“ You shake your head before turning to your squire out of exasperation. “Mikail, do you have any idea what they’re on about?”

“Dunno, milord. I don’t speak… whatever foreign tongue he’s wagging.” Mikail shrugs with all the usual intemperance of teenage boys around the world. “What kind of archer goes by the name ‘Jess’ anyway? That’s such a girly name.”

You look askance at your squire’s use of word ‘he’. Last you checked, the Fae archer was female. A lanky, tall female with no breasts to speak of, yes. But still certainly ‘she’. Most folk see a lanky archer wearing a mask and little else, but Mikail was there when the Fae Outcast first joined your ranks. Your squire can be dull but surely he has not forgotten…

“Um, milord…” Mikail points at the diminishing figure of Jess, wandering further into the crowded town.

===========================================================

> “Perhaps they need a little space. Leave them be, and be about our own business.” Jess the Kid has always come and gone as she pleased. If she needs time to adjust to the strange scenery, so be it. Such a strange creature, who is to say whether your presence would be considered supportive or oppressive. She will make her way back to you on her own terms. [Haughty]

> “*sigh* Let me try talking to them again, see what they’re about.” The language barrier is going to be a great difficulty, but the fact that she is talking at all is a minor miracle.

I want to ask what she meant, but I feel like that will become apparent. I think she either wants to leave a bit of dirt in each land she visits, or she wants to collect a bit of dirt from each land. Its best to keep an eye on her. She did well enough in the capitol of copper clippers, but each land is a new forest, maybe, almighty preserve us, a new Fallavon.

======================================

New ID rollers will not be counted unless linking back.

Tracking Roll: Keep up with Jess the Kid’s wanderings
> Oblivious Quarry / Crowded Streets 80DC
> Courageous Sky +1 Re-Roll Using this re-roll will advertise that you have a Legatus Griffinhawk in your possession.
> Struggling Squire +1 Adverse Re-Roll
> 80DC

Double Fail = Not exactly low profile. Even in a bustling port town, you and your companions make an impression.
0 = Where in the Pit am I now? In addition to losing your Fae archer, Mikail has also lagged behind and gotten himself lost. You’ll need to track him down before he gets himself into trouble with the locals.
1 = She is a sneaky one. Even though Jess doesn’t appear to be actively evasive you still lose track of the Fae in the crowded streets and winding passages of Capara, but at least you and Mikail are not completely turned around.
2 = There you are. You’ve kept up with the Fae, but her progress is barred by an obstacle of the local Langlish kind and her communication skills leave much to be desired. You will have to intervene.
3 = Everything went better than expected. You keep pace with the Fae, and at a slow enough pace you were able to enjoy some of the sights on offer in Capara. Nothing bars her way and you eventually reach her destination.
Double Pass = So that’s what she’s after… Observing Jess as she explores town gives you some insight into her goal.

>2 SUCCESS: There you are. You’ve kept up with the Fae, but her progress is barred by an obstacle of the local Langlish kind and her communication skills leave much to be desired. You will have to intervene.

Once you’re away from the docks the first thing you notice about the Langlish town of Capara proper is the colour. And such colours! So bright and so vivid it dazzles your eyes! Violet curtains on common three-to-four storey apartments, bright orange overhangs on humble vegetable stalls, garish turquoise garments and purple hosen. You’ve walked pasted a While Port Bounty projected wealth and power in its gothic architecture, the drab slums and suffocating streets now strike you as awfully dreary. A dizzying array of dyes decorate the clothes, stalls and buildings. As if each occupant was determined to push the limit on how lively and loud their garments can be, as if colour itself was a sign of wealth.

While you keep pace with Jess the Kid easily for most of them time, you nearly lose her after a sharp turn down a side street. The second time this happens you consider bidding Courageous Sky to follow her from above. But the thought of a specimen of the exotic Fallavon avian persuasion soaring above the skies of Capara gives you pause. While a masked Fae archer might not garner a second glance from the general Langlish public, a Legatus Griffinhawk in the sky very well could.
A non-stop flight across the sea would be a harrowing journey even for the greatest of raptors, but if you wanted to send a message back to Port Bounty you likely could. You’d not risk such a trial on Courageous Sky simply to send a letter home, but if there is some emergent reason to do so you may consider it. They truly are impressive creatures, no wonder the ancient Cathagi empire of old used them as couriers. You wonder why Cantôn has not done the same… They are not unheard of as pets but to your knowledge there has been little attempt to re-establish the Legatus network of old. Such a creature might be remarked upon in the skies of Aubrey or Pascae, but most would assume it to be the exotic pet of some local lord. Here though, such creatures are much rarer and therefore more valuable. For those reasons to decide not to call upon your griffinhawk unless the need is dire.

Even without aerial assistance you keep manage not to lose sight of Jess the Kid. You watch her pause at an open grassy courtyard further into town, a row of trees bearing oranges line the pathway leading up to a palatial looking villa on the hill. She shifts from one foot to another, considering something but ultimately unhappy with whatever the manicured garden bed offers. There are no railings or patrolling guards, any beggar seems free to help themselves to the hanging fruit. In fact one does so right in front of you, a hangable offence in some Fallavon orchards. You have little time to dwell on it thought. Jess is on the move again, orange in hand.

You briefly lose sight of her for only a few seconds, but when you turn the corner you can see the scene play out before you like a tragic play. Jess walks forward, blissfully staring at an orange in her hand, accidentally stepping in-between a Langlish bravo buying a meal from one of the stallholders. The bravo steps back into the street proper with an indignant expression on his face, only to come into the path of another bravo strolling long the lane.

“Ehi, sto camminando qui!” It’s hardly a bump, more of a slight brush but the two men are immediately hostile to one another. The second bravo, the one bumped into, flicks a dismissive gesture at the first.

“Occupare tutta la strada, perché no? Sciocco dai piedi piatti…” The first bravo, not one to back down, flings his arm wide and forces Jess to skip back as he swaggers into the street proper.

“Chi chiami sciocco, merda per i cervelli?” The second bravo draws himself up, hand already on the hilt of his long steel. “Tua madre era un criceto e tuo padre odorava di sambuco!”

“Provami allora, bocca grande!” The ring of steel carries in the street as the second bravo draws his blade while Jess quite casually attempts to walk past them on one side and then the other. “Sono Mercuzio della famiglia Moretti! Il tuo nome e la tua famiglia, quindi potrei intaccarmi la cintura.”

It is of little use as the two bravos jostle in the street, blocking the way as surely as a castle wall. They manage to take up the entire pathway with their strides and wild hand gestures. Both of them carry the long and short steel blades you remember the Golden Sun mercenary in Fallavon using. Unlike the Primus Pilus though, they are bedecked in fine clothe and a padded jacket rather than heavy armour. You make a mental note that the jackets might offer some protection against a slicing motion, you don’t think they will offer much protection against a solid thrust from the rapiers they’re both equipped with.

* correction, it is the FIRST bravo (the one who bumped into the other) who first draws steel.

[3/3]

To be fair Jess’ nonchalance at the pending violence is shared by many other bystanders, a few customers of the nearby stall shy away but only far enough for the more entrepreneur among them to start making bets. You can’t tell if they are making bets on whether there will be a fight, who will win or how long it will last. Jess stands a metre or so away from the pair, her back to you as you brush past the crowding spectators. It’s impossible to tell whether she is annoyed at the obstacle or confused at the verbose argument taking place in front of her.

“… ” The second bravo, the one bumped into, looks his counterpart up and down, making a critical assessment of his opponent and finding him wanting. “Sono Giovanni della famiglia Giorgio. La lama più veloce di Langland e presto anche Cathagi. Una lama così affilata e lunga non dovrebbe essere impugnata da un uomo con un cazzo così piccolo.”

You don’t speak the language, but you know fighting words when you hear them.

My first instinct is to get our faefu out of here, but she should be accustomed to duels by now so she probably won't commit a faux-pas here. Plus the ire of these two men isn't directed at her, so let's have a look at that so called fastest blade of Langland.

It seems Jess is trying to find some earth. Could be that she's collecting soil from the places she visits, some strange Fae custom. Maybe she's looking for that perfect all-natural soil she can collect? Maybe we could help her by taking her to a place of natural beauty here in Langland?

“This should be entertaining.” You hold your arm out, blocking Mikail behind you.

You don’t speak the local language, but the tone of the words seem crystal clear to you. Some insult or other has been offered and violence is imminent. Your intervention would most likely only draw the ire of both parties to yourself and Jess, and you trust Jess well enough to not get herself stabbed in a fight between two strangers in the street. As for yourself, your curious to see if these Langlish swordsmen fight as well as they posture.

“Disegna il tuo acciaio, ruffiano.” The first bravo snarls, steel on the hilt of his short blade rasping as he draws his second sword. “O essere nominato per sempre un codardo.”

“Non ho paura di te, povero sciocco. The second bravo has yet to draw a single blade, his right hand resting lazily on his long steel. “Vieni da me, se apprezzi così poco la tua vita.”

Jess at least has the good sense to skip back sharply as the first bravo lunges forward at the second, short steel overheard and long steel flicking out. You blink. Had your attention not been entirely focused on the second man’s reaction, you would have missed the motion entirely.

The first bravo stumbles, dropping his short steel to clutch at the rapidly splotching mass of red spreading from his chest. He collapses face first at the feet of his killer. You note with some interest that there is no exit wound in his back, the second bravo’s long steel penetrated just deep enough to pierce the heart through the chest and not an inch further. Masterful.

You struggle to piece together exactly what happened in that half-second, notwithstanding it occurred right before your very eyes. As the first bravo lunged the second twirled inward, until his left shoulder rested side-by-side with the first bravo’s right shoulder. You know he drew his long steel at some point, he’s wiping a speck of blood off it this very moment, But the angle was all wrong for a thrust under the first bravo’s guard. To have pierced him in the chest, not the gut, the second bravo would have to have flicked his long steel over the back of his own neck and shoulder. Completely impossible, at least with an arming sword, and any Cantôn Master-at-Arms would rightly beat his pupils black and blue for even trying such a thing in the tiltyard.

But with a rapier…

[2/2]

“Qualcuno di voi dubita che sia stato lui l'aggressore?” You narrow your eyes at the victorious bravo defiantly scans the crowd watching the lesser swordsman leaking red out into the street. He flicks two copper pieces onto the body of his fallen opponent. “Una moneta per il becchino e un'altra per la sua donna preferita.”

No one in the crowd seems to take issue with the slaying of the first bravo, the few that do seem truly discontent are the ones handing their coin over to the wiser gamblers. As this goes Jess the Kid looks away from the corpse in front of her and, as if spotting you for the first time all day, gives you a little wave. The second bravo glances at her and then you with a raised eyebrow, but says nothing as he sheaths his long blade.

> “Marvellous. Simply marvellous. Mikail, make sure Jess doesn’t run off just yet. I simply must speak with this man.” All around you seemed to accept the confrontation and lethal result without particular comment, perhaps this is the way of things in this barbaric foreign land. That doesn’t stop you from commending the man on his self-evident skill. Hopefully he speaks a word or two of passing Cantish. [Hearty]

> “To the death? For brushing past you in the street? For shame.” You had expected some contest of arms, true. But this was sheer butchery. You were beside yourself with guilt when you accidentally slew Sir de Broulert, though he was the challenger. This man demonstrates none of that remorse. Even if the law will not apprehend him, you will offer reprimand for his callousness. [Idealist]

It depends. Most soil taken directly off the ground has a high enough osmotic potential to let a seed absorb enough water to sprout. Of course, different types of soil have different saturation capacities of water, but i doubt that the lush woods of Fallavon grow on top of sand.

While I would love to give him a talking down for such barbarous behaviour, I would be more keen to it we were in Canton and witnessed something like this, we are in Langland and I don't feel the need to get into trouble for something these natives consider a daily affair.

I'm gonna be honest here, a lot of the enemy stances end up hurting them more than help them with how the combat system is slightly skewed in our favor. I'd rather have the AV re-roll, especially with our absolutely dumb high AV at this point, than have the Blademaster re-roll.

>>5340635
This is me
>>
Hey lads, just going to take it easy tonight. Vote is closed and I’ll respond to a few questions. No substantial update until tomorrow.
>>
If I have missed any questions please let me know, I do enjoy anons showing interest in the setting and deepest lore.

>>5351435
Amazing. This is going in the favourites folder.

>5346888
One: Is Ardenne the tiny islet right next to Deepwood or the landmass separated from the rest of Romaine by the Montbrun mountains? I seem to recall you saying that the crown of Romaine was an island city, but the map indicates that the entire region is Ardenne.
Ardenne is the entire region, of which Romaine is the rump state remainder of. The centre of power of old Ardenne is indeed the tiny islet on the map. I will have to refer to my notes to see if I actually ever locked in it’s name before it became known as the Isle of the Damned a few centuries ago.

>Two: Do we have any IC knowledge of the Deepwood? Any vague rumors or legends about kingdoms of the dead or strange beasts and people living there?
IC your of the Deepwood is so severely limited it’s virtually less a foreign land and more like an ethereal otherworldly realm where mankind never broached. Scholars of Canton would know that Fae reside there in numbers, but not whether they are a kingdom per se or even in charge. In the orthodox doctrine, the Deepwood is basically where Cain drew a massive line after purging the whole of eastern Canton. IC Emile would know this included the slaying of several minor pagan demigods (most relevant to you being Ursen) and telling the rest that he drove out to stay the hell out if they knew what was good for them. A lot of the Order of Names work, at least in the earlier days, was to be the ‘Didn’t you get the memo’ to resurfacing powers once Cain mic-dropped and sailed away.

>Three: Do Pegasi live exclusively in the Montbrun mountain range or is there a population living in the Fallavon mountains as well? Do we recall any rumors about the region?
To your knowledge the Pegasi are exclusive to the Montbrun mountain range. Fallavon mountains see much more in the way of wyverns. IC Emile might have heard this sort of rumour, but a Montbrun noble such as Rabe would know that Pegasi and Wyverns will go out of their way to fuck the other up. Mostly if they hold the advantage but even one on one they’ll probably go at it, weather permitting.

>5347979
I think it’s perfectly fine if I’m prompting it, but it’s when anons are being gamey and requesting to swap out the favour when they know a combat or social event is coming up. I’m fine with anons thinking about how intrigue is going to be a factor in the Langland environ in general (copperclippers get clipped), but I’ll be sure not to indicate that Emile is not being directed by the mechanical bonuses as opposed to the appeal of the lady in question.

I’m not going to refrain from putting more contenders in the waifu camps during your travels, but I do think we’re looking at the two major ride-or-die camps here…

I imagine that the decision on who to court on a more serious level will be made at some point during your stay in Cathagi if you do remain there for the Dragon Guard. I won’t rule out a POV from either of them at some point before that decision.

>>5352473
Were they introduced to Fallavon and thrived there, or are they native an brought back and bred during the height of the empire? An excellent question.

>>
>>5352549
That reminds me, I need to actually commission some work of Emile in his new masterwork full-plate.

I think some anon mentioned either doing it or planning to commission it themselves at the tail end of the last threads, but I wouldn’t hold it against them if they never got around to it given the amount of time we spent on the boat hiatus.

I think we all know the OG knigga memes aren’t going to change the helm used though.
>>
>>5352597
Very cool, the knight on the left there makes me think of Rabe. I don't remember if his helm was described in that fashion but it'd be a cool look for him

>>5352600
That'd be super cool, there are so many good scenes that could be commissioned or even just something like Emile and Rabe or Damian walking down a dirt road or standing with arms around shoulders and beers in hand
>>

> I think it’s perfectly fine if I’m prompting it, but it’s when anons are being gamey and requesting to swap out the favour when they know a combat or social event is coming up.

EZ PZ, social events lead to combat, combat leads to socializing.

At least that's how we seem to have played so far, so really there's no reason to pick one favour over another.

“Very pretty.” You remark to yourself, watching the bravo wipe the blood off his blade. “Against a single human opponent, at least.”

You can’t help but ponder how useful such a style might fare in the deadly gruelling press of battle, or against a monster several times the size of a man ahorse. It’s a fighting style for show, flashy and admittedly lethal to a single unarmoured opponent. But it is the style of a man who fights for himself and his own glory… Or at the very least it is not the style of a man who has any intention of risking being struck down in turn.

Still, you have to respect the advantages this foreign martial school offers in terms of speed and accuracy. You run through your head what stances you would rely upon if you had been in the dead bravo’s stead, how you might use your shield, armour or different weaponry to confer an advantage over a faster and slimmer opponent. It’s all just theory of course, but turning your mind to it now is better than doing so when you’re pressed into putting it immediately into practice. You nod as you pass the bravo, keeping one eye on him and another on the now demure Fae archer. He pays you little heed, sighing heavily as he sheathes his rapier.

“Nessun applauso per Giorgio? È stato un Perfetto "Scarta le Rose".” The man shakes his head and continues on his way, the slaying of a man seeming to weigh but little on his heart. “Queste folle sono state viziate da me.”

You press on westwards to the town’s edge as the victorious bravo walks east to the dockside. You offer a short prayer for the soul of the dead man you leave behind you in the street. He did not strike you as a particularly beloved or faithful man, a heathen Langlish vagabond with a blade. But if no one else will pray for the dead so in the godless land, it might as well be you.

[2/2]

The sun is well past its zenith when you reach the walls of the town, Jess makes a beeline for the open gate manned by several guards. They are adorned in a similar manner to the Langlish freeblades you have encountered in the past, though arguably poorer in equipment and less lavish in their colours. The three guards seem bored, this appears to be a gate of lessor importance with little traffic. Still, one of them perks up at your approach even as he ignores your Fae archer. He swaggers into your path, cheap halberd resting on his shoulder.

“Per l'amor del cazzo, Impelli.” One of the guards sitting on a stool shakes his head.

“Che cosa? È solo uno stupido straniero. Soldi facili.”


“Hai visto la taglia del tuo stupido straniero?” The stool guard rolls his eyes as the third guard standing beside him barks a harsh laugh. “Hai davvero bisogno di scegliere meglio i tuoi obiettivi.”

You don’t catch the gist of what any of the guards are saying. But you do understand the milky-eyed halberdier in front of you is blocking the way.

“Hey! You there! You want leave a town, yes?” The only thing more atrocious than the man’s appalling collection of yellow teeth is his butchery of the Cantish language. “So sorry, gates are be barred. There is… a fee…”

Double Fail = Not exactly low profile.

1 = Easy mark. Your lack of any grasp on the language, customs or local laws puts you at a severe disadvantage in realising you are being had. -10 Sequins.

To put things in perspective, as soon as Emile stepped out of his lawn he met Hast Vancewell and the massacre he left behind. Sadly, Langland has proven not as bad as Canton so far.

And besides, you have to respect the sheer balls (or stupidity) of this guard. Who the hell would try to scam a towering bear of a man in armor?

You look down at the guard’s proffered hand, then back up to the man’s face. His leering smile falters under your gaze, drooping even further as you cast a scrutinizing eye over his weapon, build and equipment as if making a critical assessment. You find him greatly wanting.

“Hey! The fee!” The guard scowls as you brush past him. “Hey! I talking to you!"

He even dares to lay a hand on your armoured shoulder. Disgraceful. Him a commoner, and a foreign one at that! His ilk laying a hand upon a noble would be hanging offence in Fallavon, at least a whipping one in your home duchy of Romaine. It takes the patience of the Saints and the underlying desire not to disrupt your time in Langland by slaying him, and probably his comrades, to stay your hand.

“Remove your hand, ruffian.” You pause, looking over your shoulder directly into the man’s eyes. Your hand drops down to the hilt of your blade, not quite grasping it but offering a gentle reminder to all present that it’s there. “Or lose it.”

Even if his Cantish is not the best, your intent could not be clearer. The offending guard hesitates, he seems to realise he might have bitten off more than he can chew, but then his face scrunches up in a stubborn manner and you suspect you’re not going to get through this without a short, brutal show of violence.

But suddenly an animal hiss causes him to let go in shock and step back, nursing the finger the your Whitecoat Ermine Lady Stoutsworth nipped. At what point did she clamber out of her cosy nestling pouch slung over Mikail’s shoulder and up your arm you don’t know, she’s a sneaky little thing.

“Hahaha! Lascialo andare, Impelli.” The laughter of the other guards at their comrades misfortune serves to defuse the whole situation. “Abbiamo abbastanza merda dal capitano così com'è.”

“Fottuto straniero.” The guard scowls at your departing figure as he sucks his finger. “È meglio che quel topo non abbia la peste...”

Having departed the town of Capara free of charge, you follow the Fae’s meanderings through the immediate surrounding Langlish countryside. You had expected Langland to be a damp, miserable isle of rocky crags and windswept hills and for the most part… you are correct.

But further inland away from the fishing hamlets, seaside beaches and shoreline cliffs you find the land is not so different from many rural landscapes of your homeland. It is no fertile Romaine with its fertile soil and lush vineyards, nor are there seas of crops like the wheat and grains of Aubrey. But neither is it an objectively miserable locale bereft of farmlands and woodland. Almost all the woods you do come across in your hours long trek appear seeded and grown in rows, doubtless to harvest as fuel for the demands of the Langlish fleets. Jess seems disappointed in these areas as well, so you press on even as the sun begins to dip over the horizon.

“We been walking for hours, milord.” Mikail grumbles, still moving stiffly. “And this yon wode archer don’t look like they stopping anytime soon.”

=====================================================

> “There looks to be an old watermill ahead. They should be glad enough to offer us lodgings for the night.” No palatial palace, to be sure. But it is a roof over your head and perhaps a warm meal. Frankly, you’ve had enough of the scheming of these Langlish heathens for one day. A single peasant family won’t offer trouble.

> “We crossed a passable looking tavern in that village a half-hour back, that should do nicely”. A hearty meal, decent bed and perhaps even a drink. Even in this heathen land, you yearn for the sound of laughter and human conversation. [Hearty]

>”We press on until dark. We can set up camp under the stars if need be.” You are far from the gloomy glades of Fallavon, to your knowledge monsters do not plague these tame lands. You have indulged Jess this far, and perhaps she can attend to whatever oddity she seeks while you rest at camp. For once, you’d not mind some relative solitude. [Idealist]

Do Fae in fact change their physical forms? Or is it the perception of their forms? As >>5353353 mentioned some high-tier magic was involved in that ritual. The kind that would required calling in a favour from a bigshot in the Fae hierarchy.

Griffins, as we have seen in the Fae enclaves, are more akin to Ursen in tiers of power players rather than mounts. I don't want to put a foot wrong here and confirm that not a soul in the last 800+ years since the Brother's Landing has had a monstrous mount, but I am struggling to think of a specific example outside of the Pegasus Knights that Emile would be aware of.

While i'm not certain as to the exact scale of Langland, i seriously doubt it's large/sparesly populated enough for bands of outlaws to be able to hide - and much less rob travelers.

You have actually met a human sorcerer, the Raggedy Man attached to the Order of Names during the Blue Lantern Vigil.

While they are present in the Royal and Ducal Courts, the stigma against magic is very real in Canton and they’re not the kind of creatures you would bring to social events like the Duke’s Ball.
>>
>>5355032
I thought most sorcerers were almost exclusively female
>>
>>5355045
I don’t recall asserting this, though the Medusae Sect would be a prominent example.

I have certainly explained that exposure to magic typically results in shorter lifespans and infertility, but I don’t think I said the use of it was gender specific.
>>
>>5355098
I know you mention a female sorceress/magic user advising at the King's court but have never explicitly mention all magic users being female.

I going to take advantage of the discussion and link to the pasterbins I made with a lot of the information we have gather through the quest. It has information just before the The Duke's Ball.

Mikail isn’t carrying all of your ranger gear, neither of you had much expectation of straying far beyond the walls of Capara. But there is enough in his backpack to set up an ad-hoc campsite if need be.

You could all use a proper night’s rest in an actual bed after months at sea, but you see little harm in indulging your Fae archer this much further. Besides, you have a week left ashore and you don’t feel any particular rush to consort with the Langlish folk further today if those guards and bravo were anything to judge the rest by.

================================================================

Pathfinder Roll: Tame Country / Foreign Land 60DC
>Ranger Gear +1 Tracking Re-Roll
>60DC

Double Fail = Uncomfortable sleep. Healthy DC bonus reduced by 2. Mikail remains Battered for a further day.
0 = Threatened Campsite. A campsite in this countryside is safe from the predations of monsters, but this land is not without it’s human thugs and brigands willing to rob any travellers they come across. Combat, No Tracking Roll.
1 = Makeshift Camp. Exhausted after an unexpected day of non-stop walking, you fall asleep after setting up a decent campsite. By the time you notice that Jess is gone, she has quite a head start. Difficult Tracking Roll.
2 = Adequate Camp. You’re just drifting off just as Jess slips away from the campsite. You follow her, trying to keep pace as she enters thick undergrowth. Tracking Roll.
3 = Companionable Camp. Jess seems content to remain with you at the campfire until Mikail falls asleep. After some companionable silence, she indicates you should follow her. Alone. No Tracking Roll.
Double Pass = Unexpected bounty. +10 Sequins.


3 rolls of 1d100. You have ONE re-roll.

Damn, really teasing either end of the spectrum there aren't you?

>2 SUCCESS: Adequate Camp. You’re just drifting off just as Jess slips away from the campsite. You follow her, trying to keep pace as she enters thick undergrowth. Tracking Roll.

Mikail's grumbling subsides as you make the decision to press on. He doesn't have much time for Jess personally, perhaps it's her aloofness. But his faith in you as his liege is absolute.

Sure enough, Jess doesn't stop until you're at the edge of a small forest. By then the last rays of sun are glinting their last, you've little to fear out here other than getting lost so you feel no unease at calling a stop there rather than looking for a secure site. Camp is set and a passable meal of dried meat is shared.

The stars are shining bright tonight, you gaze up at them and think of home and how far you've come. Your first day ashore in Langland and you've already seen a man cut down in the streets and been accosted by the local constabulary. It has been something of a day, hasn't it? Mikail's snoring is a lullaby of its own and you begin to drift off eventually...

In between your drooping eyelids you have a vague half-dream that the Fae archer is staring at you. Not Jess the Kid, but the Fae Outcast staring at you from beneath the surface of a still pool of water. You blink, wandering what that was about.

It's then that you notice the furtive figure of your Fae archer, this indeed being the Jess you know, slipping away into the woods.

"Jess?" You're accustomed to sleeping in armour, but you pause to grab your blade before following after her. "Hold on."

You think the figure looks back over her shoulder, but it's hard to tell in the dark. Either way, she doesn't pause and wait for you to catch up.

==========================

Tracking Roll: Keep up with Jess in the dark

> Oblivious Quarry / Dark Woods 60DC
> Courageous Sky +1 Re-Roll nil issue using them here
> 60DC

Double Fail = Branch to the face. Reduce to BATTERED status for the next day.
0 = Gone with the wind. You won't see her again, not until it's time to depart these shores at least. Companion Quest Complete?
1 = Lost in the dark. You get yourself utterly lost stumbling around in the woods at night. Eventually you make your way back to camp, and when you wake Jess has also returned. Companion Quest Complete?
2 = The Ritual. You don't find Jess until she is halfway through...something. But the significance of it escapes you. She seems happy enough though. Companion Quest Complete.
3 = Terra Nova. You catch up with her quickly and manage to keep pace in the dark. You gain some understanding of why this is important to her. Companion Quest Complete!
Double Pass = Fae Runes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVbc_Fwbt50&ab_channel=Heilung – Theme

This place is now ordered row of trees destined for the lumber yards, the undergrowth here stands as testament to the unclaimed nature of this land. You’re perturbed to find it somewhat reminiscent of Fallavon, not a place you hold many pleasant memories of. Certainly a tamer and more docile version of it, there is no undercurrent of predatory danger you walk across the forest floor fearing nothing more than tripping over in the dark.

You struggle to keep up with Jess, she doesn’t seem to be actively evading you much like in the city but she could at least slow down. You wonder what your Fae companion is playing at, she has proven her value as a companion but you’ve not forgotten the fickle and capricious nature of her kind. You lose track of her for a worrying few minutes before finally coming across them again in the clearing of a glade…

Jess the Kid is kneeling in the grass by a small pond where the moon is reflected on the mirror-like surface of the water. Moons. The hairs on the back of your neck raise, you hadn’t realised that tonight was a night of Twin Sisters.

“Hey. You’re not going to throw yourself into another pool are you?” The words said in jest, the pond is marginal in size and bears none of the sinister eeriness like the one in the Fae enclaves. Not that you’d want to repeat an exposure to such magics again, mind you. “Are you alright? Are we still, uh… Firren?”

“Firren?“ Jess seems to shudder as she stands, almost as if she was laughing in silence. You can see she now has Two pouches of what you assume contain dirt hang limply in her left hand. Her right hand she places she on your arm, porcelain mask nestling in your shoulder intimately. You stiffen at the unexpected touch, unsure if this is some kind of impropriety, but the touch feels companionable rather than unseemly. “Ű-anui firren. Firren gwanur. Dilthen gwanur.”

“Right. Well. Very good then.” You offer a reassuring pat on the head to the nuzzling Fae archer. “I’m glad we’re on speaking terms again.”

“Ceri- ú- nifred, tond gwanur.” Jess leans up and ruffles your hair with one long slender hand. Had anyone been watching you would have died from sheer embarrassment. “Cin tríw. Ennas baw an lyg hi.”

“Please do not do that again.” Your cheeks feel hot and you’re all too ready to head back to camp. “You know one of these days we need to address this language gap.”

Mikail will need a proper tutor for his letters anyway while you are in Cathagi, perhaps you might as well start a school…

Sendag, 14th Day of Bacrimun, 883 A.C.E, Midday – Langlish Countryside

You stir to the smell of cooking sausages, and are just about entirely awake by the time Mikail places a plate beside you.

” Good morning, milord. Sorry if the skin on them sausages ‘s a bit burnt.” You wave him off then frown as you bite into breakfast, realising the extent of the understatement. Your squire offers an apologetic grin. “I been leavin’ a lot of the cookin to Orin lately. So, another day of walking ahead?”

“Actually...” You look at Jess resting lazily in a tree above the camp, long thin legs dangling merrily from the branch as she basks in the sun. “I think we’ve done what we set out to achieve.”

“Oh. Ain’t that grand.” Mikail seems nonplussed, but happy to hear the news all the same. “So what now?”

Getting intel from afar should be a priority for us. Anything regarding news of strange ship movements, slave traders, and local government actions should be learned. The Faction has been using the Langlish as hired muscle too much to be a coincidence and probably has several ship owners in their pockets. The faction may use them to influence politics and policy here so we could probably mess with them a little. We could also encourage more trade with Romaine while we are here.

Also how much does a ship cost to own? If we find our current ship captain amenable, maybe we can help invest in getting him a second ship and get a portion of the trade proceeds. Once we pay back our debts and have liquid funds, of course.

>tfw you've been staring at a elvish dictionary to try and figure out Forgottens bastardised elvish.

It's seems to be mostly in sindarin dialect if anyone cares, with just enough changes to fuck with anyone translating

''Firren?'' Sindarin spells it Firen
''Mortal/Human?''

I doubt that, their is also another possibility since as a dil as a suffix friend/lover... but in the order of things that makes no sense since its at the start. Given that this happened on the night of twin sisters my bet is something like

>Both our races dying (unlikely)
>You missed the final part of my thing (possibly?)
>Unknown meaning cause I fucked up (More likely)

>>5356948
Their is some credence to this, I'm going to try and figure out the loyalty quest quote but its even worse to understand, so far I've got:
>Amin naa i' yeste' en' amin nostale van- sina ndor. Amin il- caela uma sina avaene lle
which roughly has to be translated too
>Amin na i' este' en' Amin nostale van- sana ndor Amin il- Caila uma sina avaene lle
which comes up with
>''Hope to be that repose of hope species kind path that land/country. Hope all sickness abounds this refuse star''
which I personally think means something along the lines of doing something that allows a Fae colony to set up here

>>5356949
I think >>5356954 has the right of it, Jess is clearly treats Emille with friendly affection, hell it strikes me as teasing, personally I think its her term for us, Tall because Emille is a very large lad and Moon because humans are the twin moon of the Fae.

either that or for some reason she considers us and damien twin moons?

The hours long walk back to town is pleasant enough, though by your reckoning the beauty of this landscape does pale somewhat in comparison to the lush beauty of your home duchy. The farmers must be at full tilt by now collecting the harvest, stocking up for the harsh winter months ahead and the trials that come with it. Father would probably appreciate the architecture here, doubtless commenting on how it's a long-separated cousin of Romani style buildings given their own evolution after generations of independent architects, or something. Honestly he can be so embarassing sometimes.

Re-entering Capara by a different gate, you are not accosted by the guards for an entry fee or anything of the like. As you suspected, your trouble with those at the other gateway had no basis in a legitimate fee or somesuch. You decide to stop by the College of Admirals, where apparently any man that captains one ship or many can make his voice heard. Wearing exquisite full-plate armour in the Cantôn style and your chain-bear heraldry proudly displayed on your tabard, your hardly refraining from advertising your mainland origins. Still, Captain Verdicci did assure you that foreigners were not barred from attending this public discourse. A flattering description of what is to your ears a disorganised shouting match before a rambunctious crowd jeering and cheering at each turn of phrase.

A huddle of bookish men in grey robes sit in a gallery to the side of the square, much like the well-to-do audience might be placed at a tourney. Most sit in groups of twos and threes, with a few larger groups engaged in their own conversations but with still plenty of room on the stands for twice their number. There are so many eye-catching spectacles of vibrant dress on display in the courtyard that this show of modesty is attention grabbing itself. Some watch in silence, others talk among one another shaking heads or nodding sagely as they stroke their beards. You wonder what their purpose is, or what station such men hold to be granted their own seated section. And why three figures in black hoods stand between them and the jostling crowd, with even the most avid critic or fan giving them a wide berth.

The current speaker up is a woman, dressed a garishly as any other Langlishman present and shouting herself hoarse. A woman captain, you chuckle at the notion. She looks downright piratical with that eyepatch and dirty blonde curls doffed under a ridiculous hat, by the Pit she probably -is- a pirate. Not so long ago you would have said such a thing was impossible, until you met a certain Wastelander woman. Best be careful in including -that- in your letters, you’ll only be giving your little sister Maryla ideas. Gifting her the Grenmire egg was probably more than enough in Mother’s eyes, anymore encouragement and you’ll be turning her into a Tracker Jean in waiting. Nor can you tell if the jeers directed by her detractors. Her entire closing speech is in Langlish, you have utterly no notion as to whether she was speaking about an encounter with Norsikaan raiders or complaining about the sewage system in lower Capara. You also count tell if the crowd loved or hated her, it’s hard to differentiate the declarations of eternal love and loyalty from the calls for her to return to the whorehouse (as best you can determine).

In any case, she seems satisfied enough with her speech and after stepping away a particularly flamboyantly dressed man, and for a Langlishman that’s saying something, steps forward in her place with several others and practically screams into the crowd announcing the new speaker.

“Ammiraglio Antonio Moretti, Capitano della “Nona Passerà”, Sovrintendente della Settima Flotta e Protettore dello Stretto Meridionale.”

“Antonio Moretti aðmíráll, skipstjóri “Enginn Skal Fara“, yfirmaður sjöunda flotans og verndari Suðursunds.”

Amiral Antonio Moretti, "Hiçbiri Geçmeyecek" in Kaptanı, Yedinci Filonun Vekilharcı ve Güney Sesi'nin Koruyucusu.”

“Ναύαρχος Αντόνιο Μορέτι, καπετάνιος του “κανένας δεν θα περάσει”, διαχειριστής του έβδομου στόλου και προστάτης του νότιου στενού.”

“Admiral Antonio Moretti, Captain of the “None Shall Pass”, Steward of the 7th Fleet and Protector of the Southern Straits.”

Moretti. It’s a name you’ve heard a few times now, most recently from the bravo slain yesterday. You wonder if he was a lesser family member or merely an affiliate. Hard to know how much weight these Langlish types put on their bloodlines, if any. You also find it interesting that the speaking itself is in Langlish but their equivalent of heralds helpfully relays the introduction of the speaker in a multitude of languages for the crowd. Good advertising, you suppose. But it seems the translation service ends there, and nothing is free in this country.

This option is probably alright, but if we roll bad on finding one we'll probably get bad/inaccurate info. If we get a good one we'll find out more as they can probably translate more languages for us. A person in the crowd will probably either get us baseline info or no info.

It would allow us to better steer the currents of Cathagi court and it will be a great boon if we wish to study from some Cathagi books, especially if it comes to warfare, secular and church law (as I remember many rituals using Cathagi or atleast I think it is Cathagi) and forbidden knowledge on the Brothers and Dreadlords.

Obviously we ask one person to explain something, then ask another person who doesn't know what the other one said to also explain it.

Then we declare them both liars and beat them to death with our shield. Honourably.

> Animal Companion: Lady Stoutsworth +1 Re-Roll
> Lady Vancewell Favour +6DC, +1 Re-Roll
> 71 DC

Double Fail = Not low profile. People in the crowd notice the foreigner, and might take him for an easy mark.
0 = Unreliable translator. Either the man is lazy in their translation or their grasp of Cantish is just enough to convince you they know what is being said. Your time in the square is an exercise in futility or worse, actually misleading. -2 Sequins. No persuade roll.
1 = Base translation. The translation quality is standard, but without context you are left at a loss as to the significance much of what is spoken of. -2 Sequins. No persuade roll.
2 = Competent Translator. The translation is accurate, though you may need to press the translator for more context around what exactly is going on. -2 Sequins, standard Persuade Roll.
3 = Competitive Pricing. In addition to securing a reliable translator, they offer a bargain rate to and are most accommodating in the provision of their services. -1 Sequin & bonus to subsequent Persuade Roll.
Double Pass = Valuable customer. You may have people offering you items of interest, for a price. +Favour bonus.

You secure the services of a translator that seems legitimate, in fact they practically fall over one another declaring their trustworthiness and accuracy undercutting a less savoury hawker. You’re confident enough that they are competent in their role, not out of any sense of honour but they appear dreadfully conscious that word-of-mouth from satisfied customers is more important in the long run than a quick coin in the short term.

Still you hope that your purchase of their services, the equivalent of near a weeks wages for a butcher or tradesman in some places, goes beyond literal translation and provides your intel with some context.

> Noble Privilege (Higher Social Standing) +1 Re-Roll

Double Fail = Explanation costs extra. -1 Sequin.
0 = Misleading guide. In spite of the translation, you are misled as to the significance of certain parties and their roles in Langlish society.
1 = You get what you pay for. While the literal translation maintains its current accuracy, your purchase of their services did not extend to explaining matters beyond that.
2 = Some explanation. You are given some insight into who is who and the significance of certain characters, but how such sides interact with one another and where exactly the lines of allegiance are drawn you will have to figure out yourself.
3 = In the Know. This translator clearly makes it his business to not just offer literal translation but also keep abreast of the flows of Langlish politics and explain it in a manner understandable to an ignorant foreigner.
Double Pass = I’m Sir Emile Andrei and this is my favourite stall in Capara (reduction in random later purchase). +Favour bonus.

Fabio the Elder, as he calls himself, soothes every single one of your apprehensions on the usury and fraudulent nature of these mercantile people. He instead addresses epitomises everything that might be considered honourable for a mere provider of services, holding fast to the belief and practice that satisfied customers reap dividends in the long run by reputation.
He addresses you in perfect, albeit slightly accented, Cantish. His eloquence and confidence in which he demonstrates his fluent bilingual wares quickly secures your patronage over some of his more desperate and less honest competitors.
“-You- were at the storming of Calais?” It was the infamous seizure of the southern port bordering Pascae and Aubrey, up until then the exertion of Langlish influence in Pascae had been predominantly through soft power or small . Even nobles full enjoying the benefits of Langlish connections could not abide such an overt annexation of a walled town by predominantly foreign forces, and it served to unite the Cantônian banners already raised in arms over the dispute between one another over the contested Duchy border. “That would make you… at least sixty years old.”

“Was Fabio there? Was Fabio there?! Most noble son of Cantôn, Fabio was the first man on the walls!” The Langlish veteran’s grey whiskers twitch with pride, his fist clenched and raised in the air. The fierce light in his watery eyes clears after a few moments. Either he speaks the truth or he is a damn fine actor. Finally he shrugs, as if embarrassed at his display of pride. “Truthfully Orlando was first, but he took an axe to the face before he even was fully off the ladder. I did not always share this detail but… with age I find I care less. And the glory of victory, well if you know your history young man you will likely know why they do not speak Langlish in Calais, eh?”

*or small uses of Pascae-hired Freeblade companies, heavily subsidised by Langland.

“Yes. The Fields of Farignane.” This would have been in the early to mid years of that period referred to as the War of Borders. Father was probably not even a squire then, the Cathagi invasion of Romaine would be years to come yet. “My grandfather was there.”

“Ah! Perhaps it was he that took my arm, eh?” The greyhair winks to show he is only joking, though there is a sombre tone in his follows as he continues. “The Flogging of Farignane, we called it. Those few of the Kingmakers Company that survived.”

“That bad?” You ask, unable to help yourself any less now than when you first heard the telling as a boy. By all accounts the Battle of Farignane was a stunning Cantôn victory. You remember sitting in Father’s halls, listen in rapturous silence as a boy to the veterans that were there. Funny to hear it again from another veteran so far apart in time and distance and fondness. Worlds and sides apart.

“We knew we were outnumbered, but when even the Pascae houses that had done well from our assistance started trickling to the other side… Well, it was only a matter of time. As our Primus Pilus would tell us, it was less about winning now and more to see what we could hold.” Fabio the Elder shakes his head. He doesn’t strike you as a man broken by battle, he speaks of your countrymen’s victory with bitterness. “When they caught us in retreat, half-across the bridge… I’ll always remember the man who ended poor Fabio’s sellsword career. A knight, like yourself but not so fine or so handsome good sir, no no. He had a green tabard… A mermaid, yes. Bearing a golden trident, and the face… Hmm, the memories of poor Fabio do not age so finely like wine. But I remember the mermaid had no face.”

You find it difficult to hold the man’s acrimony against him, despite his allegiance. The Almighty was with your people that day and that is the end of it. You hold no quarrel even if he once bore arms against the Kingdom of Heaven, this old one-armed man hardly seems a formidable enemy of the state. Not anymore at least.

===========================================

We will get to the actual translation in due course, I got a little caught up in fleshing out this character that anons voted for. I’ll take this opportunity to take any questions from anon that are NOT strictly related to Admiral Moretti’s speech. I’ll assume he offers some context for you as part of his translator services. I have also not included the double success in the above update. That is still to come.

Ask him about the duel we saw earlier. Clearly the Langlish are a proud people, but what was there to be proud about casual murder in the street? Are Bravos really that popular? Have they always been like that?

Also does he know of any good sport hunting nearby, like basilisks or trolls or those turtlewolves we heard a sailor swear exist.
>>
>>5360045
Ask him if there was anything significant about the fight between the Bravos we saw yesterday, it can even be disguised as curiosity about whether this kind of thing is just that much of an everyday occurrence.
How important is family here? is it purely alliance of convenience or is it more like the ironclad bonds of noble family?
Any rumblings about slave trade?
Is there a good place to get law books?
how expensive would a tutor for our squires letters be, and/or one for teaching ourselves about Cathargi customs or language, ideally one willing to travel with us as guide or translator.
Who are the major players at the moment.
What do you know of the companey of the golden sun(that was what the onse we fought were called right)?
Do you think Langlish merchants would be open to trading directly with Romaine, we should be able to set up a shorter supply line of iron from Mountburne and even mustangs from the wastes.
Any notable Cantônese visitors or dignitaries making deals or meeting with the local power players lately?

Let's get some good gossip for Gilberne

What's the difference between a Cantonian Bishop and a Cathagi dragon worshipper? The Cathagi is honest about not following the teachings of Canton religion.

A devout Cantonese peasant runs into a beastman in the woods, and prays "Please let this beast be enlightened by the holiness of the Lord!" To his surprise, the beastman claspd his hands together and prays "Oh thanks Lord for this meal we have today."

Do you know why Cantonese call their priests "Father?" Because calling them "Daddy" is too suspicious.

What's the difference between Cantonese and Langland?

The Cantonese tells you to love everyone, but a Langlishman shows you how.

While I'm sad I missed pretty much the whole thread, I feel like gushing about how much I love Forgotten's quests.

Forgotten, in my humble opinion, runs the best goddamned quests on 4chan. Hell I think Forgotten's quests are possibly the most interesting, engaging, and enjoyable pieces of media I've ever consumed. There is absolutely nothing in my life that gets me more excited than hearing that there's a new StV or BCQ 2230 thread running. The worldbuilding in these games is always intriguing and mysterious, the characters are interesting and intensely likable, the game mechanics are (even if there's a hiccup here or there) engaging and unique, and the story always develops in thrilling ways that invariably leaves me on the edge of my seat. I can't count the number of times I've read all of the options Forgotten gives us for a vote, and wishing that we could pick every single one.

I've been a lurker since somewhere around thread #5 of Black Company Quest back in 2015, and these threads have easily been some of the highlights of the past seven years. You're fucking awesome, Forgotten, and I hope you feel appreciated for all the work you put in to make these quests a good time.

Based, redpilled, 100% share this view. Missed the initial autism vote so I've been lurking this thread, but every day I've been coming back for my dose of quality writing and questing, this is the only place where you can find it on the board. If I had any money I would hire Forgotten as my personal writing slave in a heartbeat.

>when MC fed some orphans to demons
To be fair to prince the entire city was going almost litreally to hell and he less fed them to the demon and more lied to the personal willing to try and save them that they were already dead.

If you gave up at random kids OH BOY are you in for a hard read towards the end

>Did I miss much?
In terms of escalation? kinda but not really, Princes journey into darkness was pretty much just personal losses at the end, In terms of storytelling yes a substantial amount was missed since that was like the first quarter of the quest from memory.

>SELECTED: Several questions, I will incorporate them over a few posts, some next thread.

“Currently he is petitioning for an exemption on the docking fees. See how the other sailors laugh? There is some joke in there about his daughter having a larger member than the dockmaster. Very clever, but the how-do-you-say ‘play on words’? It does not carry over very well to your mother tongue.” Fabio the Elder frowns, offering some sentences in translation. Finally he shrugs and turns back to you. “I do not think this current subject is of particular interest to you, young sir. I am happy to summarise and perhaps explain some things about this forum in the meantime, if that suits?”

“It does.” You nod, much preferring some context to put all the ‘public debate’ into focus. “Some context may prove helpful.”

“The grey robed men are representatives to the various Families. Uncles, cousins, close friends. Trusted men. That sort of thing. They do not address the Admirals directly; such a thing is not done. But they do listen, to the speaker and crowd both, and report.” Fabio the Elder waves a hand, his only hand, dismissively. “Nothing is decided here, despite all the show and big promises. But the Families pay attention, and what moves the mob may see a speaker invited to one manor or another to discuss the details. Or arrange for a blade in the back to those they view as a threat, so it is whispered.”

“And the hooded figures in black?” You say, nodding at three figures standing in front of the gallery of grey robes. The crowd seems to ripple away from them like water around a sandbank. “Are they bodyguards?”

“Ah, the Inferni. Bodyguards of a sort, yes. But more apt to be called bloodhounds. A Family without their pet sorcerer is hardly worthy of the titles.” Fabio shakes his head, making a sign with his hand, the meaning of which escapes you. A ward against bad luck? “Sorcerers… As you can see, most know well enough to keep their distance from such unnatural creatures.”

“Is that why they are allowed to wear those colours?” You narrow your gaze, eyeing the hooded figures with renewed suspicion. “Is it something to do with the Black Sails?”

Never speak those words! Behind you, Mikail bristles at the disrespectful tone from Fabio the Elder as the old Freeblade veteran looks around wildly. It appears no other bystander in the crowd has understood the Langlish version of your questions. Still, the panic is writ plain across his face. You motion for Mikail to becalm himself, noting the bead of sweat that glides down your translator’s brow. The man is genuinely concerned, and not because of your overprotective squire. “Apologies, apologies. My sincere apologies, your lordship. Men have been thrown overboard at sea for speaking of such things. On land, well it is not so bad but you might as well ask after a man’s bowel movements than raise such a thing in conversation. Such ills are simply not done in this country. The Inferni are another matter, Sfortuna…

“…very well. Let us speak no more of it.” Curious. Not the first superstitious veteran you’ve met in your time, but odd that even a casual mention of the topic is considered such a social faux pas in this country. “Is the Admiral Morretti still discussing domestic concerns?”

“Yes, young sir. He’s just moved on to the hinterland lumber shortages.”

You puff your cheeks, but you're not quite ready to give up on something of interest being mentioned yet. “This will take a while, I imagine. Got any good Langlish jokes about Cantôn?”

Fabio the Elder pauses, perhaps considering whether it is wise to answer entirely honestly. Then he grins and begins to speak.

“A poor Cantônian peasant family lives on a farm, they rely on their single cow for income.

One morning the father walks outside to find that their cow is dead. “We will never survive the winter” he says as he hangs himself from a nearby tree.

The mother walks outside and sees the father and cow dead. “I can’t live without my husband” she says as she hangs herself from the same tree.

The daughter walks outside and sees the mother and the father and the cow dead. “I can’t live without my family” she says as she throws herself into the nearby river and drowns.

The eldest son, of twenty-two winters, walks outside and sees the daughter and the mother and the father and the cow dead. “Is there any way to bring them back?!” he yells at the sky.

Poof! A fairy appears.

"I will bring your whole family back to life, even the cow," she says, "if you can lay with me 5 times in a row. If not I get to kill you."

The boy lays with her 3 times in a row and he dies.”


[2/3]
>>
[3/3]

“ The middle son, 19 years old, comes out and sees the fairy. She gives him the same offer as his brother.

"I will bring your whole family back to life, even the cow," she says, "if you can lay with me 5 times in a row. If not, I get to kill you."

The son agrees to do it but can only do it 4 times. He dies.

The youngest son, 15 years old, comes out and is given the same offer.

“I will bring your whole family back to life, even the cow," she says, "if you can lay with me 5 times in a row. If not, I get to kill you."

The son says, "What if I lay with you 10 times in a row?"

The fairy thinks. She says, "I will bring back your family and give you my pot of gold.

The son says, "Wait, how do I know you will survive it?"

"What do you mean?" says the fairy.



"The cow didn't."

Dude knows he's shit as far as langlands concerned and he likely has some minor if not decent trade connections we could tap into.

We can simply say that we ran afoul of the de Broulerts in Canton and maybe elaborate if he asks how. It's not great to brag about slaying such a valorous man.

As a side note, now that we've switched to Sequins for money how much is our current debt Forgotten? I've checked the pastebins so either I'm blind or its not in there.

He's clearly competent when it comes to translating and he has already warned us of one faux pass. Having him accompany us during our stay in Langland may be a great boon and will definitely save us from awkard or, worse, mortal problems.

> You do not share with Fabio the Elder your part in the death of a scion of House de Broulert. Your loss of temper cost another knight their life. It is a grievance that you have done penance for, but you will not brag of it. [Hold your tongue]
I was thinking about it and this does seem like one of those things Emile might be prone to brag about. Emile is a mighty warrior and he has many reasons to be proud of it, but when such feats of martial might end up killing noble and gracious knights like Broulert, it may greatly sting them to mention them, even if it's a forbidden fruit for his great ego. So, I'll opt for Emile holding his tongue about it, the Almighty did strike him cause of it after all.

Honestly, I like the old bloke. I’m tempted to offer him a place in our retinue - but he needs to display more than just translator skills

At this point Emile must feel like he's on a roll, as he has yet to suffer a true loss that would dampen his ego (aside from the redhead). I think he would be straightforward and honest, if only to have his ego stroked.

personally I feel like we're still riding the consequences of Broulerts death and the Bravo's display while certainly a display of bladesman ship rubs the wrong way with that in mind and it was effectively murder defense or no since the fight was aggravated and with his skill he could have certainly choose to not straight kill the dude.

In the spirit (heh) of Forgotten's drunkposting. What are the most common types of alcohol around the different duchies. Do they have local specialties or unique drinking customs? What about Langland are they gin or rum sailor's? Do the cathagi drink, do they have hookah. What about drugs, are they common enough that Emile would know of them
