I want to hear from our first quest giver and that girl he is keeping watch over with his peasant wife. Unfortunately I know that's not going to happen this thread. I just hope that if we see Vancewell order a child assassinated, us anons first reaction isn't "I like that in a woman" or "I can change her with/out my dick".

>>5624966
I trust that Forgotten won't write Vancewell to be a mustache twirling villain who likes to kick puppies for fun. There's a lot of potential for compelling writing and making her do something horribly evil that Andrei would never tolerate and therefore torpedo the whole thing is just boring desu.

I'd be more disappointed if she isn't wildly evil in some way. Not having her be a villain would take away most of the charm.

>>5625004
The first two you can't prove that she's personally responsible for.

And the third is really not evil at all because:
1. It was good for the family because he was a sadistically cruel psycho.
2. She's framing it on the family because she's talking about her opinion in comparison to her father's.

>>5625026
I expect her to be ruthless and cunning, like the women of the Andrei family amped up to 11.

I feel like she would have some interesting input on the feudal social contract that Emilles put thought into and a small part of me wonders how much sexism plays into her reputation.

>I just hope that if we see Vancewell order a child assassinated, us anons first reaction isn't "I like that in a woman" or "I can change her with/out my dick".

I mean that would be a big question for Emille regardless but I also feel like half the thing is that unlike other villainous characters Emille gets hot under the collar when Frida does it rather than angry.

>SELECTED: Young Lady Frida Vancewell, the cunning viper of Montbrun

Fenegan, 16th Day of Kostrimun, 883 A.C.E. – Montbrun – Castle Vance

Far from the usual trappings of furs, beast skulls and other barbarous fancies favoured by the less developed nobles of the mountains, The great hall of Castle Vance was adorned with fine tapestries and curtains much in keeping with those houses that appreciated the arts that the great Court of the realm boasted.
The hall was well lit, servants streaming to and fro to keep the torches burning and add to the table bedecked with an array of delicious plates that could feed a dozen men. Despite this, only two sat there, an elderly man and a young woman. The wizened Lord Vancewell picked at his food, scowling occasionally at some slight not yet addressed or some wrong not yet avenged. As for the pale young thing, her food remained untouched.

Frida’s attention elsewhere, absentmindedly turning the dirk over in her other hand as she examined its every aspect. The blade was needle thin, closer to a letter opener than a weapon, but still very fine work. A side-project of some master-smith, perhaps. Her eyes moved up the blade balanced neatly between two long fingers, delicate and manicured, to the ivory handle twirling upwards into two entwined swans that formed the bejewelled hilt. Between the two swans the shine of a small ruby, tiny even, glittered like a shiny rock at the bottom of a deep pond.

As the heiress to Lord Lukas Vancewell’s fortune, inheritor of a great house favoured by Duke and Royal both, Young Lady Frida Vancewell had been showered with gifts since she was even close to the eligible marrying age. Beautiful riding horses, extravagant dresses, dazzling jewelry all from the many eager families of those suitors that sought her hand. In terms of value, or suitability for a noble lady, this token hardly compared.

But no one had ever gifted her a dagger before. She found that fact gave her a lot to think about.

“You shouldn’t play with knives at the dinner table, my sweet.” Lord Vancewell grunted between mouthfuls of roasted chicken.

[1/3]

623 KB PNG

“Yes, daddy.” Frida pouted absentmindedly, puffing her cheeks as she slouched back in her chair. The dirk now rested in her palm, perfectly balanced. “I was just waiting for the sweet Lady Vancewell to join us. Isn’t she coming to dinner?”

“She is feeling unwell again.” Lord Vancewell huffed, wiping his mouth. “Damn woman still hasn’t adjusted to the mountain cold since she first got her.”

“Oh that is a shame.” Frida hardly needed to act nonchalant, she really had more important schemes to care about than the fate of daddy’s third wife. “I do so enjoy hearing about her embroidery.”

“That makes one of us.” Lord Vancewell paused, sparing the dirk in his daughter’s hand more than a passing glance for the first time. “Where did you get that anyway? I don’t think it’s one of mine.”

“It was a gift, daddy.” Frida looked at her father indulgently, each bat of the eyelash a calculated decision.

“A gift?” Lord Vancewell’s eye twitched as his neck swivelled in her direction, tone turning incredulous as he rose from his seat. “You mean a threat?! Someone threatens MY daughter!?!”

“Hm.” For a moment, Frida considered the utility of misdirecting her father’s rage to someone that suited her. But the moment passed, too many disadvantages to play the lie that way. This time, at least. “It’s not like that, daddy. It’s a gift from a boy.”

“Well…good.” Lord Vancewell seemed somewhat deflated as he sat back down. Frida knew, better than him even, that the man was never happier than when finding new enemies. Except perhaps when doing away with old ones. Everyone needs a hobby, Frida supposed. “Yes, very good. Well, just remember what a told you. Keep them playing against each other, driving the price up. My daughter will have the pick of the litter, I don’t doubt. And House Vancewell will net the rewards in full.”

“Of course, daddy. And then your son…” Frida nodded along, she had heard all this before. Since the death of her brother she had never been in higher demand, and Lord Vancewell was convinced he was going to have another heir soon enough.

Their title lands may be relatively middling, but the House Vancewell network of influence was cast wide and needed constant attention. There were plots and networks and alliances and secret deals to be made and maintained. Since the death of Hast, Frida was the primary proponent of that web outside of her father. She most certainly liked that, and was getting better at it every day. She’d been better at it even when her boorish sibling had been ostensibly in charge.

Her mind strayed back to her new toy, and the secret letter that had accompanied it. The dirk was far from the kingliest token of affection she had received from a would-be suitor, even in the last few months. But still her eyes went back to the fine blade, the ivory handle, the bejewelled hilt. Like the boy it came from, it was hardly worth her attention.

It really was quite pretty though…

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

>Even a rock-for-brains Rabe could see that the Duke Montbrun would be calling the banners in a few month’s time. Shoring up alliances with friends and vassals closer to home, ensuring Vancewell forces were equipped and ready to marshal at a moment’s notice. And positioned to take advantage of however the upcoming campaign went. Tedious and tawdry work for now, but necessary. [Montbrun Court]

>The next few months will prove to be as predictable as they will be dull. Lord Vancewell and his Duke can keep themselves distracted with this border war. No, the real movers and players are busy jostling and manoeuvring at the only Court that matters. Little matter how well the game is played, if the field be modest and the prize humble. The network of alliances there must be maintained, and expanded on, even if war threatens. Especially then. [Royal Court]

>A tour at various families, affiliates and trade partners across the other duchies is the sensible middle ground. Pascae, a political charnel house, De Ver and other minor houses would cling to the relative safety of any larger house making their protection known. Fallavon, a visit to her ailing suitor the Marquis and either encourage his interest or let him down gently depending on the advantages to be had. Not to mention Romaine, there now being a certain minor house in impoverished realm that held her interest. [Duchy Courts]

Pretty sure this is my post. Should have made it more memorable.

Holy shit Vancewell senior is a like a character straight from an Otome Villainess genre. I don't whether to love or hate him for it. Still, kinda shitty of him to basically consider his daughter a (beloved) bargaining chip, but medieval times be medieval.

Also, nobody gifting Frida a knife before means that all her other suitors have absolute shit for brains :V

As much as I'd like for Frida to sneak around Romaine trying to figure us out, I feel she'd focus her effort where she could potentially gain the most. She's an ambitious woman, and ambitions doesn't take you to the ordinary and simple countryside if you have any shred of competence, it takes you to where the levers of power are.

personally I think its gives a slight romantic tweak to her scheming, like sure the Marquis should be checked on and the inter duchy affairs should be on point but stopping in on some no note family in Romanie is just so far from that its honestly kind of cute to see her justify it to herself.

I can only hope some brilliant decision ruins this worst of romances as well. Preferably of the moral variety.

>>5626473
The Sinclair girl?

>>5626320
Nah senpai Vancewell is fun. She's interesting and exciting and has the potential for such great roleplay bouncing unexpected shit off Emile. Better than some trumped up farm girl

>>5626469
I'd say the first serious one. Emile fucked around and found out with Tracker Jean (in that he found out that a strong woman isn't interested in a lukewarm dude), Daubney was an interest and an initial favour was exchanged but not much else was done on that front (and IRRC we majorly pissed off her family and became persona non grata in the areas...).

Vancewell we danced with politically a few times, got a deeper understanding of and wowed her on the dance floor and in the bed room. We've exchanged letters and all that.

>>5626505

>>5626489

>>5626505
I don't recall if the training session on the fucking boat came before or after Langland. It was either then when he unlocked his willpower buff or when he learned about the Roiguard from the Trident knight in Langland.

>>5626469
she's about the 6th prospective relationship Emille's had with a woman

1. The Norveski girl and the where learned the Andrei spaghetti recipe, it funny how she was some kind of prime Romani schemer and we landed Vancewell of all people.
2. Tracker Jean but she was the one pursuing Emille and of course Emille fucked it up.
3. Eva Sinclair, a shame F*llavon is and forever will be a shithole.
4. Daubney, I hope that girl lands a good Knigga
5. Lanthe though that always felt weird to me and I'm uncertain it would have lead anywhere that was us being exploited by her.

>>5626479
>we majorly pissed off her family and became persona non grata in the areas...

Angel in Heaven, the Almighty surely loves to test his followers. Why else would you find yourself elbow deep in dirty bandages, the putrid stench of open infected wounds causing your gorge to rise as you pass fresh dressings to the Sister Superior Ignatius tending to the dying old man laid out on the table. And the man is surely dying, you need no apothecary to tell you that. Limbs wasted away, fever taking his wits even as rot eats at his body. You’d be shocked if he lasted the day.

You find yourself wondering what happens to the few slaves that do recover, or at least stabilise to the point where they are capable of walking. A few of the male orderlies seem local, but again they are but a drop in the pool of suffering concentrated here. There are so many. So, so many. And you’ve no idea how still linger in the streets and lanes outside, apparently many die crowded on the eastern wall of the quarters just waiting to get in and die her instead. Now you wonder if all the verdant gardens and sweet-smelling flowers were planted in the eastern wing of the Church of the Holy Juvenescence for an altogether more gruesome reason. The bodies, the smell alone…

But still they come, the paupers, the street waifs and the discarded slaves. All of them too frail, or ill, or wounded to fetch a spare sequin or two in the flesh markets or even keep around on the off-chance they recover to resume work. And it is not like this side-chapel of the holy church has much to offer in the way of medicine and aid either. Supplies are in constant shortage, always, and are viciously rationed by the sisters for those whom it make a bit of difference. The best the majority can hope for is a shelter in this stinking hot room, a meal in the form of watered down gruel and a dry-eyed sister to speak a prayer over their expired body. Not that they even believe in your God, but it must beat dying in an alleyway somewhere around the corner. And it is not such a bad thing if a pretty foreign witch casts a spell on you or whatever they believe goes on here.

All this misery you have seen in the single day. At least the sisters will have clean bandages today and tomorrow thanks to your recent contribution, but by Salve Reginae’s holy wounds you regret your offer of aiding personally following your latest visit to the Sanctum.

“Cain on the Cross.” You gag, flinching at the sight of the good sister drawing puss from the enormous growth on a boy’s forehead the size of a juggler’s ball. The sickly yellow colour, laced with that thin stream of blood… “Oh Godsgrace, I think I’m going to be sick…”

“Gird your loins and pass that ointment, sir knight. ” The sister’s voice is business like, a reprimand even, but she is all focused on the ails of the next patient rather than your own squeamishness. “Mine own eyes have borne witness to you running at an undead abomination in the dead of a dark forest night with nought but some attitude and an unruly horse. This battlefield hardly compares. Sister Genevieve, take over for me while I fetch fresh bedsheets.”

While you don’t consider yourself anymore morbid than the average Romani, you have had cause to dwell on what fate you’d prefer if choice could ever be a factor. It’s not being eaten alive by a monster, or bleeding out slowly from a wound to the gut on the battlefield. It’s not Not anymore, Saints, no. Not anymore. It is dying in a Pit of a place like this, too weak to even feed yourself as you lie wallowing in your own filth.

You follow the new sister, Sister Genevieve you think, to another patient. A grown man, thrashing madly with fever and babbling his foreign language in a panic as orderlies move to hold him down. You notice suddenly that the new sister is carrying a lot of bandages. And a very sharp knife. You see the restrained man’s infected broken arm, rotten through with gangrene, and put two and two together. You baulk, taken aback by yet another new horror. Sister Genevieve, a surprisingly tall woman with a heart-shaped face and sad smile, notices your hesitation.

“ Look past your own trials and remember that there are those less fortunate than yourselves, and find the strength in yourself to help them.” Surrounded by the dead and dying in this place, you find it obscene to see such beauty framed in the coif of a nun here of all places. Her eyes are sad, like her smile, and without condemnation. “Adam, Chapter III.”

Angel in Heaven, the Almighty surely loves to test his followers...

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

“I… I can’t. Reginae have mercy, but I can’t.” By the all the Saints, mercy. You cannot stand this any longer. You are a knight, a warrior, not a nun.

You need to check on your companions before the Long Walk at any rate. But inside, you hate the weakness you've show here today. [Haughty]

I don't think Emile is going to dive into this in the future but he'd steel himself and press on. Handing out money alone is no virtue, no sign of faith, we must persevere, we must be tested and show our strength, we must lend our aid. A knight is sworn to valour...

I am actually really drawn to the haughty option. I think it would be a nice way to showcase how Emile's not always ready to take on all fights. Sure, hunting down unholy beasts and fierce fighters is one thing, but the horror of facing pestilence and everday misery? Too much.

Saintfagging aint me though I get it but I find it the prospect of Emille struggling with Poverty or Slavery inflicted injury and sickness more interesting than being able to simply power through it because of muh sainthood or whatever.

>>5627282
If you want to tackle the Factional rivalry in the royal court we'll need to wife up first and gain the lord status then Duke up for the social bonuses for ranks to even consider the big whig politics and theirs a more tangiable thread to the Montbrune duchy than reclaiming Ardenne right now, besides I'm willing to bet their are any number of claimaints or lords who would contest an Andrei claiming it in even the best scenario.

Not sure where babies or sainthood would land theoretically, babies probably as a matter of securing the succession early on though.

But specifically with the rider that Emile isn't stoically powering through it with a heroic countenance, he very clearly is doing this with watery eyes while hovering on the verge of vomiting. Emile has shown quite a bit of willpower, but doing this kind of work is a new and unpleasant experience for him that he's having a hard time dealing with.

>>5627589
Yeah feels like this makes sense. Idealist doesn't make much sense to me. Like Emile himself realised there are others a lot more competent than him at this, and there are a lot with the required skills and aptitude who can learn. Meanwhile the Emile is among a very small group uniquely who are uniquely qualified and able to learn the required skills for being a preator, and even more importantly he is among an even smaller group of individuals actually willing to do the work. If Pascae is anything to go by it's a field that is severely understaffed. Which the healers also are but they have a much bigger recruitment pool.

Passover, so lets speculate around Cain on the cross, how did he survive. Has he too angry to die and broke free and broke free of his bounds or Adam manage to free him?

>>5630735
Given how we were initially presented with the shiny clean mainstream version of the story, and every new development of secret knowledge we've uncovered about the *actual* history of The Brothers has revealed things to be far darker and messier than that, I'm guessing Cain has/had some Cu Chulainn insane riastrad body horror berserker bullshit going on

>1. Salve Reginae Raises Her Sons in the City.
>2. The Sons Preach to the People and Defy the Slavers.
>3. The Sons Escape into the Wilderness.
>4. Salve Reginae is Tormented.
>5. The Almighty Appears Before the Sons.
>6. The Sons Return from Exile, Cain is Crucified.
>7. The Sons Smite the Dragon and Raze the City.
>8. The Sons Lead the People Across the Sea to Cantôn.
>9. A Bargain is Struck with Sin. The Sons are Forged.
>10. The Power of the Wild is broken at Motte-Fallavon.
>11. Five Sons turn to Sin. The Sixth Son is Martyred
>12. The Seventh Son Reaps a Bloody Vengeance. Two Sins Are Chained, the Rest Scattered.
>13. The Seventh Son and his Ten Thousand Embark to Hunt the Remaining Sins.

Also apparently we've accounted for the two previously accounted for sins, Abyss who is now free and probably roaming the seas and Anarchy who is hopefully still chained away by the Reginate.

>>5630894
>>5630735
I suspect that Cain was saved by a few followers of the nascent faith or a ploy by Adam if they weren't uber powered by this point, I also suspect like a filthy heretic that like Prince the brothers humanity was chipped away by their need for more power in the pursuit of forming Canton and preserving their followers, weither or not they could be called truly human by Cain's departure

+1 Step on the Path of Adam [27 Steps].

“Forgive me, sister.” You reply, eyes downcast as you follow her to the table where the orderlies are preparing the unfortunate soul for rough surgery. His thrashing becomes wild and stronger than any wounded man has a right to be, the sight of the knife giving the patient a sudden burst of instinctual vitality.
Your breath comes sharp and ragged, it takes more strength than you realised to hold the screaming man down. You can hear the wet slap of flesh, meat hitting the table, the sound of cutting bone. It is not a fast process, and there is not much in the way of anaesthetic to be found here.

“Angel grant me strength…” You close your eyes and grit your teeth, clamping down on the man’s ruined arm as the butchering work is done. Your sympathy takes a perverse turn to hate, hate at the man’s pain and his wailing. Your fingers tighten, imagining them around this poor, damned slave bastard’s neck. Cain on the Cross at least then the screaming would stop!

The worst part was the pleading in his eyes, the babbling foreign cries of frantic desperation. Although he mercifully passes out before the grisly work is halfway done, you know that the man could not understand why this was being done to him. He probably came here for medicine, not realising the infection was too far gone. Not realising that he would walk away a one-armed slave. If he walks away at all.

“Will he live?” You look up from place on your knees once the work is done, wiping vomit from your mouth once you’re done retching. You taste iron on your lips where the back of your hand passes, it nearly sends you throwing up again.

“He has lost a lot of blood.” Sister Genevieve replies, wrapping the massacred limb tight. You’ve seen stronger, haler men succumb to wounds far less grievous than this. “By morning we will know. All we can do now is pray.”

“I....” You don’t know why you began to hate a man whose only crime was to suffer. Why was anger your response? You shake your head. Another confession for Towbray in due course. “Pray. Of course.”

“You’ve done enough, sir knight.” Sister Genevieve hands you a towel, wet and steaming warm.

“Enough?” You look around at the room, so much condensed suffering piled into such close quarters. You look down at your own hands, bloody red to the elbows. “How could this be enough?”

“The Almighty smiles on those that give what they can.” The holy woman offers a comforting hand on your brow, her eyes hold that same sadness even as her name is called for to attend to another patient down the line. “For you. For today. It is enough.”

You do not argue. You doubt you have anymore grit in you for this kind of work. Besides, it is definitely rude to argue with a woman of the cloth. People like the good sisters Ignatius and Genevieve will never wield a blade in anger, but they fight their own battles against the evils of this fallen world right here. One soul, one wound, one bandage at a time. That is why men like you exist, to keep the door barred against those that would inflict more misery than what is already in abundance through the human condition. So that the good sisters can continue with their good works.

Tomorrow is the last day of rest before the Long Walk commences. You resolve to spend some more time in the Salve Sanctum, reflecting on the hardships you’ve witnessed here. The fate of those less fortunate than yourself weighs heavily on your mind, in these times one should turn to friends and family. Your family may be a continent away, but you are not without companions here…

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

>Your squire has been making progress these last few weeks, at least in practical skills while his erudition is still wanting. You know that this pilgrimage is not just about your own journey, it is his too. Impressing upon the young boy the importance of the Faith, and the sacrifices a knight must make in defence of it, is as crucial as any lesson in swordplay. [Mikail]

>You’ve caught neither sight nor sound of your Fae companion since stepping ashore. You doubt she is in too much trouble, even in this City. Jess always has been the sort to be able to take care of yourself. But it may be worth sending Courageous Sky out, the two creatures of the Wild always had a kind of affinity. Who knows what slavers might try if they clue on to her true nature. [Jess the Kid]

> Your veteran Comitas companion has taken up with the regular holy knight duties around the sacred grounds with ease. He must have been stationed here long ago, a younger man. Your completion of the pilgrimage was something of a personal mission to him, and you know he remains sworn to silence. Still, you enjoy his quiet companionship. And the man may have some wisdom to offer on the trials of the Long Walk ahead. [Brother Rosseau]

I want to see how little Mikail is doing and make sure he is keeping up with all of his studies.

No worries boss, I was just giving you a hard time. Happy Easter

I still want to knight the lad at the end of the long walk. The boy has travelled the entire pilgrimage with us, and seen and done more than most tourney knights will ever do. It would suck to see him go, but it seems unfair to force him to stay with us here for 2 years.

>>5631087
Isn't it only the Roiguard who can knight a commoner?>

I think any knight can knight a new knight, Or maybe it has to be a lord. But if you want land or title beyond knighthood it has to come from elsewhere. or maybe I'm just plain wrong.

>>5631091
Honestly I think I may have pulled that out of my ass, I don't know where I got the idea from

Your completion of the pilgrimage was something of a personal mission to him, and you know he remains sworn to silence. Still, you enjoy his quiet companionship. And the man may have some wisdom to offer on the trials of the Long Walk ahead. [Brother Rosseau]

A sword's morals are only as true as its wielder.

Seeing how Jess reacts to city life is fun.

We're still a Knight Errant, we don't possess the ability to grant knighthood to other people. I'm not sure what specific level in the hierarchy you need to be to do that, but I know for certain that we're not even close to being there yet

>>5631252
historically any knight may knight another, but it was rare and could be revoked by higher authorities be they state or church. also Knight Errant to my understanding is not a separate rank, but more of an descriptor of young knights out to prove themselves, landing a job, on a quest or just fool around until they return to their duties.

>>5631078
No need to apologize, it's close to the holidays after all.

I don't like the thought of her being by herself too long.

Nah in GoT any knight can make a new knight. I think it was just because I know Mik is super keen on the Roiguard and he came from common stock so I conflated the two. When Forgotten gets back he can clarify it all anyway

>>5631918
even if he's super keen on the roi guard mikail has shown he thinks emile is one of the greatest knights in the world though i don't know when it should happen i do not think he would mind being knighted by us and considereing we are semi famous our act of knighting him should probably not come under scrutiny of higher authorities
