just warning that DMWannabe claimed this and I owe them, but if they're cool with it you get it.

Also realized we'll have a similar problem with regalia. Declare for them as well, but feel free to otherwise start making character sheets. We got plenty of time.

>>21098

Sounds good.

That fills in everything except crown prince. Malvaris called that on irc, but until they claim it then it's still open.

Please, call your regalia, and start making your character sheets. If you pick regicide, do not declare it in your sheet, but instead contact me on irc and declare some other plot twist as your start.

Others who wish to join please sign up for courtier positions, you have no regalia to declare so just state which regent position you work for in your sheet.

>>21096

Glave

>>21105

I have a regicidally related question that i feel should be answered so everyone knows, do we get the bonus/flaw from the plot twist we declare to hide regicide?

I should mention. Courtiers will have a lot more leeway in this game than in other positions. It's basically another full player position with a less advantageous start. It is fully possible for a regent to be down graded to a courtier, and a courtier to usurp a regent's position.

I'd ask no courtiers sign on to the crown prince's camp without a fantastic fluff reason for doing so, the crown prince starts with almost no political capital after all.

>>21107

No. Only the appearance of it.

For example, picking prowess would mean you have the reputation for a thing but that it is a false front. The reputation would be formidable enough to avoid the problems with it, but you'd get no actual bonus to your rolls either.

Some things, like descent, would not work for certain positions (like crown prince regicide due to physical features being involved), we'll work it out in irc

>>21105

You also probably want to ask another question to hide if you actually picked

Regicide now btw.

I should also mention that this game is ultimately cooperative with a few competitive subgames. The more people who pick regicide, the harder for anybody to win it's going to be. Just something to keep in mind (by my current system, the game can handle two regicide a before revealing the attempts will shatter the empire and basically cause a global loss via conditions similar to Enemy At the Gates)

Also note. Regicides will be revealed to one other courtier or regent (regents to regents, courtiers to courtiers). They'll have no proof, only personal knowledge that it is fact.

Fellow regicides have no garunteed knowledge of one another's crimes, there was just a cluster fuck of assassination attempts and you know how many other regicides there are, but not should, barring that the random roll to decide who knows tells you.

Do we add the oath's from our spouses race?

>>21109

What happens if we don't have any of a certain oath, but our foes cause a negative?

>>21111

Yes, regents choose their spouse or their own race, in general regents and courtiers only get ONE racial oath set, not two.

>>21110

it was a thought I had, since you said to pick another twist, that I'm sure everyone had. actually, another question. What if multiple people pick Regicide? was it a collaboration or would the Emperor's death have ended up as a slapstick series of events?

>>21112

Pick double the necessary amount of another oath.

If you pick rival then I suggest you say so in this thread for the other player's benefit.

>>21119

Yes, pick if the quality of those death knights increases, or if you get multiple units of death Knights.

>>21127

>>21129

He is my rival. Had no choice in the matter

>>21130

yes but now someone could swipe it from you, and everyone knows there's no point in swiping from regalia, or he could swipe it back

>>21129

Hey, Maldaris already ok'd it can I modify Descendent into playing as the Crown Prince's mother? instead of being directly related to the emperor? Or would Maldaris have to take it instead?

>>21101

Calling The Seal I guess

>>21124

Manticores are killing machines, pure and simple. They have no other purpose than ending life. Their venom is a nearly untraceable poison, and near instantaneously causes brain death upon application. They are hard to kill, incredibly aggressive, and we're made, and released, as a form of terror weapon primarily targeting civilian targets when they were first created. They're useless as guard animals even due to being so territorial they'll generally prevent the owner from accessing stuff, and they kill for pleasure rather than need, their systems wired to basically have the same effect crack has every time they end a life. Throw in the ability to see living auras, and only golems are a sure fire way of ambushing one.

>>21133

He would take descendant, none of the mothers could take it, as it would be incest then. You guys can do this but hit me up on irc when I get back.

>>21130

I'll change that rule. Hold over from the crow. You can just get a second rival without benefit of you steal from them.

>>21136

Actually changing my mind on this one. You guys can make your case about the mother/child relationship, but it effectively creates one power bloc at character creation and I'd prefer to avoid that outside of courtiers.

I'd permit a courtier mother/former empress-mother/empress, but not as a regent.

>>21139

You're silly if you think that power blocs aren't already forming in the IRC

So if I get taken to -1 in an oath thanks to enemies do I have to perform something to bring it back to 0?

>>21140

but ok I'll wait till you get on the IRC

>>21139

Considering things we've discussed previously, I think it would be fitting. And to be honest, it's not impossible that infanticide could occur.

>>21140

Fair enough. But still holding reservation on this one until I get to talk to you both on irc.

>>21141

See>>21120

You pay twice as many oaths of any other kind to fill in the deficit. So pick two oaths of an unrelated kind.

>>21125

Just realized, missing position, race, spouse's race, and religion. (Remember, regents and courtiers only get oaths from either their own race or their spouse's race. Not both)

>>21146

Blerp, its a Drake not a wyvern, ima fix it in the first update

>>21146

Looks good WhiteDeath! Will be interesting to see how you dare. Your lands will be a single hex on the eastern borderlands.

>>21144

Kek, it's absolute bullshit people are all planning to rival me.

>>21149

I don't have lands, I'm just a poor courtier. That said uhm I'd like to actually stay with a Wyvern and not the Drake.

Also, can I still be a distant member of the royal family with the Animal Companion trait or would I have to change that?

Aaaand lastly I had 6 Universals and spent one on the Wyvern (2 from human and 4 from Foe Eastern nation) I used all my 5 economics on guilds, laborers and inventors. Unless of course I went wrong somewhere then I'd be happy to adjust.

>>21152

I'll let you be a sub house of the royal family, super distantly related. Descendant is meant for like half siblings, uncles, immediate family basically.

>>21152

Nah I misunderstood your tabulation of oaths at first, s'why I deleted my complaint. You're good.

>>21155

I do need to check foes though, I think that your first for is chosen for free without price or reward, but I have to check…

>>21150

Good luck then man! I have confidence in you!

>>21152

>>21153

You will need to reduce your oaths however, either your human or far oaths if you drop descendant.

>Foes:

It's the royal family really.

>Personal Fluff:

Morgana, originating from the part of the royal family that used to have control over the Eastern provinces grew up in what one would consider humble surroundings for the royal family. Though she has never actually been to any of the Eastern provinces she was raised to disdain its people and the feeling is more than mutual.

When her eldest brother Elias came of age one of the family's most loyal vassals gifted him a Wyvern egg, bearing the family colors. While Elias cared little for the egg Morgana watched it and cared for it brooding over it every day until Elias finally gave in allowing her to keep it.

After the Wyvern had hatched and been named "Bello" by Morgana it quickly became clear that this was no normal beast of war. Growing to a truly monstrous size in few years Bello became a fearsome sign of the nobility, his heavy scales shining bright in the royal colors.

Eventually when Morgana came of age herself her personal pet-Wyvern had replaced any Knights and Paladins as protectors, perhaps a good change as the young woman did not fare well with the empire's traditional churches, believing that gods were nothing more than men and women who had distinguished themselves sufficiently. Perhaps they deserved admiration, but certainly nothing more than that.

Seeking to leave her mark in the world Morgana took to architecture and engineering, striving to leave behind constructions that would be considered nothing less than wonders by the generations still to come. And perhaps one day some fools would worship her as they did her ancient ancestors.

>>21163

For regents and crown prince at least. I can't remember if I changed that for courtiers, if I did it'd be in the current edition of the odd rules.

>>21160

Don't be sure. Changing that rule so they ca pick anybody's regalia.

Also godless will run into so many fucking problems in ruling a populace, religion is VERY important to a medieval people, the whole for picked while being godless just exacerbates that problem.

Imagine a count in the Holy Roman Empire declaring they were gnostic or something, or the problems Bloody Mary ran into as a catholic over Protestant England. Godless will run into similar problems.

>>21164

Current edition of pdf rules*

>>21164

Kek, well either way I just lost my character I was working on. So that's 10/10. Also how long does it take before the populous realizes the entire government is a heathen and they start a purge?

>>21164

If its still the case for the Courtiers as well then I choose the Theists as first enemy to do nothing and the Eastern Provinces as second one.

>>21172

I did say it was the hardest path flat out.

So question in regards to plot twist

My character is a dwarf with personal prowess. I know its generally skill or knowledge based but let's say my character is just an implacable force of nature where his job is concerned. Would that count?

>>21178

Depends on the job, you have to pick a skill, it can't just be 'I'm the greatest archemage ever'

>>21179

In your case it could be investigation, litigation, law of nations, ancient law (which often has magical applications), precedent, fair judgement, interrogation, theiftaking (generally hunting down and apprehending criminals), would all be appropriate to a high judge.

>>21178

For your character I might suggest either investigation or organization/beuracratic handling from what you said. You would be unstoppable at getting to the bottom of matters, setting up the courts to insure justice is done.

I'd be willing to give you the broad prowess of 'seeing justice done', but it'd be one of those things where you'd be able to bring justice to anyone, but only so long as you brought justice to anyone. You could never smudge the lines, never compromise, never back down, or you'd lose the prowess and your reputation would steadily degrade.

>>21173

What kind of beast kin? The breed brings varying personal/cultural advantages. (Big choice is about whether it's a wild breed or urban breed)

>>21182

Considering my backstory involves exiling or imprisoning almost my entire family after they abused the fact that they were related to the high judge I'm fine with that.

>Bring justice to everyone provided you bring justice to anyone.

Position: Grand Judge

Race: Dwarf

Spouse Races:

Religion: Church of the Uniter

Regalia: Seal

Foes: The Guilds, Western Wastelanders

Plot Twists: Personal Prowess (Seeing Justice Done), Empress

House Fluff: A once great house that dates back to the founding of the empire it has steadily lost power and influence as their holdings became worthless and their attempts at recovery met only with disaster until Leopold the Prodigal son was birthed and the family as a whole met with salvation as they were brought back up by the empress through his appointment to the position of High Judge then swiftly struck down when they felt their relations made them exempt from the empires laws. All that remains of the house now is the Prodigy as the rest have been Exiled, Executed, or Disgraced. While some people saw his measures as extreme and cold it has only reinforced his position as a High Judge without reproach.

Personal Fluff: Leopold is granite, immovable and imposing. He cares little for the trappings of excess and metes out justice both fairly and with extreme prejudice. Through this he has made many enemies both in the guilds as he meets bribes with prison sentences and sanctions as well as with the criminal element as he spent his early career decimating their operations within the empire. This single-mindedness is also what brought the eye of the royal family upon him and the impedements of corrupt and weak superiors was easily removed as he gained first control over the capital's lawmen second only to the previous Head Judge and advanced to the position with the untimely death of his predecessor in the service of duty. Following his ascension to power Leopold quickly began cleansing the ranks of malcontents and using his power to add nearly incorruptible military forces to replace the losses. While people hardly like the man they do enjoy the peace he brings. Imperial politics is an entirely different matter for Leopold as he supports whatever government is most stable and the actual ruling individual is inconsequential as long as their method of ascension is just.

Name : Nelissa the Quiet

House Fluff : Primarily a gathering of like minded Nephilim, Nelissa's house is entirely unrelated to her beyond the oaths they have sworn to one another. These oaths are bound in magic and blood. Most of the oaths sworn have to do with loyalty , preserving the peace and ensuring that chaos does not overtake the Central Empire.

Personal Fluff : Nelissa is old. Very, very old. Possibly the oldest Nephilim still living. She has seen and helped the Empire rise and has no desire to see it fall. Through that time she has learned the price of mortal power and mortal might. It is why she will never try to take a kingdom for herself, nor will she do more then advise, never to rule directly. What she seeks above all else is stability to work her personal projects in peace. When that stability is threatened she descends to the shadows to bring that about once more. Nelissa has personally determined that in order for the Empire to continue as it once did the Crown Prince must take the throne. Though she has learned many skills in her time alive her greatest is her ability to move completely silent with no magical aid. Her mount is a powerful Chimera made from a Roc, a Drake and Unicorn.

>Personal Fluff:

Morgana, originating from the part of the royal family that used to rule over the Eastern provinces, grew up in what one would consider rather humble surroundings for a noble family. As had been almost sort of an odd tradition in her family line she had never actually been to any of the Eastern provinces, though she was raised to disdain its people and the culture came with it. Undoubtedly the feeling was mutual as the family came under attack repeatedly by those who sought to avenge some long held grudges.

When her eldest brother Elias came of age one of the family's most loyal vassals gifted him a Drake egg bearing the family colors. While Elias cared little for the egg, far too busy considering his official ascendence into the world of adults, Morgana watched it and cared for it brooding over it every day. When Elias got married merely a few months later he allowed Morgana to keep the egg as her own, figuring he would have no use for such an aggressive beast in his surely orderly province to be.

Named "Bello" by Morgana it quickly became clear that this Drake was no ordinary beast of war. Growing to a truly monstrous size in only few years Bello became a fearsome sign of the nobility, towering over all other Drakes at the noble court, with his heavy scales proudly bearing the family colors.

By the time Morgana came of age her personal pet-Drake had replaced any Knights and Paladins as protectors, some creditting it to the almost uncannily strong bond the two shared, other more evil tongues claiming that the Paladins had refused to serve Morgana any longer for she disrespected the official representatives of the church in many ways.

While Morgana, and Bello in particular, did have a few brushes with the church here and there, she is a devout follower of the faith and seeks to ascend into sainthood by providing innovative and masterfully executed architecture, employing a mix of golems for heavy tasks, well experienced guildsmen for more precise parts of the construction as well as men of wisdom and intellect to overcome any obstacles that may stand in the way.

Name: Rylza Aserveti

Position: Spy Mistress Courtier

Race: Human

Spouse Races: Single

Religion: Church of the Uniter

Foes: Southern Isles

Plot Twists: Brothers in all but blood

House Fluff: To the credit of the Aserveti family, they have held a prestigious and considerably old, albeit small, connection the creation of the Empire itself. Supposedly created soon after the First Emperor came to be, the Aserveti were one of the first houses to be ennobled, forged from a small sect of Fae. Although never reigning much political power, they have always been as faithful and loyal as possible to the Emperor's lineage, going as far as to have their Heads of their House serve directly as Hand-maidens, butlers, and other menial but dignified duties, along with other, more prestigious holdings. They are considered exemplar for their thankless efforts, and they themselves will accept little to deviancy or opposition to the Emperor, going as far as to don masks if they some how bring Shame to the Empire or their lineage.

However, it is said that for all their humility and their honor, the Aserveti are…Unhinged in some regards. They will not deny command of any kind from the Emperor, or his regents. Not only that, but most of them carry a unnatural fondness for Contracts and oaths, never daring to break them when made. They instinctively have a dire want of a master, of somebody to lead them and command them, which they often readily find in the Emperor. Beyond that, they carry with them mostly a cold, and detached attitude, with sharp and sometimes even violent intellect. Many say these odd aspects of their general personality come from their insular nature, and their Fae origin. What ever the case, their actual small holdings comprise of some lands long held near the Crag border, and a small estate near the very heart of the Empire, where they mostly reside.

Personal Fluff:

Rylza Aserveti, the now head of the Aserveti lineage, regards herself, as a failure. Like her father before her, she was brought up to be a total servant to the wants and needs of the Emperor's line. Born before the Heir, she was a general caretaker and helper to the young master, along with the many other children of the Emperor. Modelling herself on the proud ideology and imagery of both her family line and the church, she saw no task beneath her. However, as much as she had took good, she took just as much bad. There was simply no task that she saw as below of herself. Secrets that only the most trusted could have, tasks too grim or too dark for others to endure, or crimes that no other Noble would dare even touch. She readily accepted the commands as her father did, and his father before hand. This in turn, led to her working with the Spy-mistress. And although she respected her, it was clear that she did not hold any true loyalty to the king in Rylza's eyes.

But when the news of the death of the Emperor, and her father, reached her, she was all but destroyed. She has, and continues to, wear none but black clothing in deepest mourning for the loss. Indeed, so distraught, the thought of ending her life passed her mind many times. Through grim determination, she has managed to push through her depression, and has vowed herself to see the Emperor's plans come to fruition, regardless of what they may be. Although she knows she would never act out against the new Crown Prince, she still clings to the past heir and Emperor over him. She also holds no great love for her own supporter, seeing her as unloyal, and even more concerned with her own lineage than that of the Emperor's. However, for now, she will do all that is asked of her.

House Fluff: He is born of no house and rose to power through ambition and luck alone. He has yet to of been graced with proper titles and has not become true "Nobility" despite being a trusted adviser to the Champion

Personal Fluff: Born in the underbellies of the Western Wastelands he was raised quickly to use underhanded techniques and always operate in the shadows. This continued for many years and he had built a small retinue of hired hands and blades of all sorts to make sure the dirty work gets done. He mostly stayed away from the nobles and their affairs until one faithful day he caught onto a would-be independent assassin making an attempt on some well guarded nobles life. He managed to stop the assassin just before the strike was made and was granted an advisory position with all of the resources and privileges in order to aid the champion in more.. Nefarious.. operations.

one issue. the last eastern nation to break away from the Central Empire would have been over a century ago. The acts of rebellion would have centuries ago still. That's not to say they couldn't have ruled over their own little nation amongst the Eastern Nations until deposed and he's come back to seek his birth right.

>>21258

In that case, would a border-baron deal work? Owned contested land, peasntry rebelled with support from easterners and overthrew family and such?

Definitely. That also puts you well placed to join up with DMW as he's located on the border of both the Crag and Wildlands.

Rival (The General) (-1 military, +2 Universal Oath)

Racial Schism (Beastmen) (-1 Universal, -2 economic; +6 Economic)

Eastern Nations (-2 Economic, +4 Universal Oaths)

Plot Twists: Chosen by the Gods

House Fluff:

The Ichaival Company is not a noble house, not even a normal hereditary lineage. Established by Ichaival, it serves as his business within which he does a wide range of profitable enterprises such as technological design, production, and sale as well as other side businesses such as, legal and sanctioned, mercenary and privateer work.

Personal Fluff: Ichaival

Unique among his fellow Iron Forged, Ichaival is one of the few of their kind with a fierce sense of individualism and ambition. While as with all Iron Forged he is imbued with a personal sense of being a part of their god, he himself has come to understand this in a much, much deeper level, beyond any of his fellow brothers could have imagined.

At night, he is filled with dreams. While not uncommon, his are intensely fierce and “as sharp as awareness itself.” He is filled with visions and designs, not whispers but tongues of knowledge hitherto unimagined of the devices and machinations of the Iron God. At first frightened, then intrigued, something far more extraordinary happened.

He could not only speak to the Machine Spirit's as they were . .it felt as though he could hear them in the aether, asking to come into this reality, to be conceived, to be made. A torrent of voices of Machine Spirits like a maelstrom, calling to him on the winds as though willed by the Iron God himself. Empowered by this divine providence, he soon found he was discovering things under their influence, their voices, learning more than he ever could even among those learned in the scientific arts of the Southern Isles, where he almost felt. . .stifled.

Perhaps that is why he finds himself here, in the Central lands, rather than the Iron Isles whence he was forged. All he knows is that since that time it has been his mission to establish himself a resource base, an enterprise not limited by any kingdom or nation that will allow him to freely pursue the task given to him. To craft, to design, and occasionally, to sell and spread the Iron God's will and designs. He would find everything he needed, here, all he had to do was take it.

Ichaival's Sky Castle serves as a mobile base of operations for the up and coming entrepreneur. Owning no ground lands of his own, he benefits from the ability to nest his castle in remote areas, usually remote islands, acting in seclusion while venturing out on his airship which he uses to organize his several connections to distinct other like minded individuals seeking to advance either the sciences, magic, prestige, or profit. All of which serves to provide him with a ready supply to construct his visions.

Was +1 economic, +1 Religious for the race, but otherwise you're good.

>>21430

Roger, I fixed that in the oaths but forgot to adjust that in the upper stats so the calc's should be right.

Letting people know about some rules changes explicitly that might change how you use your oaths.

When applying a Vassal to one of your main actions, you add 2*Vassal Quality Level to the roll, and for the second vassal you add, you throw in -1, for the third vassal, -2, and so on and so forth until you hit -12. Every vassal you add after that point applies -12 to the roll.

What this means is you get more bang for your buck when adding high quality level vassals to a roll than you do throwing LOTS of vassals at an action.

For the purposes of non-conflicted actions, things like gaining oaths, research, improving your lands, quests, etc. You want high quality vassals.

For conflicted actions however, it's the exact opposite. In conflicted actions you roll 1d10*Vassal Quality Level for each participating vassal, and total the number. In addition, for each vassal you out number the enemy by, you gain +1 for the first, +2 for the second, and so on until you hit +5, and then each vassal after that applies another +5 to the roll. In conflicted actions, NUMBERS MATTER! Further, ALLIANCES will combine their unit total for purposes of calculating who out numbers who, and the bonus gained will be split equally among the allies.

This means that in conflicted actions, having a lot of lower powered vassals can turn the tide if you out number the enemy enough, but keep in mind low quality units will sustain heavier casualties if that's a risk, or be more likely to burn out and exhaust their resources in other cases. Basically, you're less likely to LOSE high quality vassals in cases where blood shed might be a problem.

>>21488

Telling you guys these rules is so you can, if you like, redistribute your oaths.

Also, forget rolling for your character sheet at the moment, when you repost it in the first thread, we'll do the rolls there.

Name: Mandrow Houswen

Position: High Priest

Race: Human

Spouse Races: Human

Religion: Church of the Uniter

Regalia: The Scepter

Foes: The Eastern Nation

Plot Twists: Personal Prowess - General Priesting and Public Speaking, Chosen By The Gods

House Fluff: Houswen has always been a prestigious bloodline that has remained high in royal favor and held close ties to the church. Those born into the house are brought up under the Church of the Uniter, but are also taught a deep-set respect for all religions, earning some criticisms from outside speculation, but overall holding a positive view by the people. The church often allows for some clerics to be employed to the house, as well as priests to tech the children the ways of the church. The house often attempts to raise its children to high priest.

Personal Fluff: Mandrow was raised devout and deeply set on rising to the rank of high priest from a young age. It became apparent early on that he was divinely gifted, as he showed magnificent talent rallying the people under prayer, holding small church gatherings as a child, bringing in many commoners and a few nobles. As he grew and his gift developed further, it was clear that he was a powerful speaker able to rally the people when necessary. Eventually he would rise the the rank of high priest. Years into his position, The First Champion, the emperor's wife, Rose Centris, appeared as a guiding angel to Mandrow, further sealing his clear gift of the gods. Continuing to hold his position as high priest, Mandrow's main goal remains to return the Central Empire to the glory shown by the first emperor.

Name: Rand Naythanial

Position: Seneschal

Race: Human

Spouse Races: Dwarf

Religion: The Dragonic Kings

Regalia: Crown

Foes: , The Eastern Nations

Plot Twists: Personal Prowess[Architecture], Chosen By The Gods

House Fluff: The Naythanial family dates back to the time of the First Emperor, when they helped build the great works that have served the Empire for generations. The Naythanial family was given the rights to tax the use of the highways and the massive Gratestone bridge. Each pillar that supports the giant bridge rival a castle's towers in size, and serve as the Naythanial's ancestral castle. Growing rich off the taxes, the Gratestone Bridge slowly grew a town in it's arches. Now a major trade hub, the Bridge holds thousands of people suspended below it's overpass. The Naythanial family has reaped the benefits of this, becoming immensely wealthy.

Personal Fluff: Raised in the shadow of an ancient bridge, Rand was fascinated by the mighty constructions that his ancestors. From an early age, he proved to possess a rare intellect and seemed to know exactly how to build things he never learn. At the young age of 12, he engineered a new milling house design, that functioned at close to 90 percent efficiency. Trained in all manner of engineering, the young heir to the Naythanial estates and highway soon began work for the Emperor. Apprenticed to the previous Seneschal, Rand was placed in power after his mentor retired to his lands in the south. With sudden control of the Central Empire, Rand vows to make the Empire great again for when his liege comes of age.

Name:Scaevitas (Aka Vitas or Tas) Regibus

Position: Champion

Race:Nephilim

Sister's Race: Nephilim (not a spouse)

Religion:The Draconic Kings

Regalia:Glaive

Foes:Rival Regalia

Plot Twists:Personal Prowess. Ancient infrastructure

House Fluff: House Regibus for a long time was the most powerful house of the nephilim exerting unparalleled control over Neph politics. Commanding from their Ancient mountain citadel. Many of the Neph viewed them as the true leaders of the race. They were in fact responsible for the Nephilim finally caving and joining the empire.

Since the day they joined until recently house Regibus was responsible for keeping balance and the continued loyalty of the Neph to the empire. Curbing the worst of Neph's violent tendancies and generally making sure things didn't get out of hand. This changed only 40 years ago. The leaders of House Regibus rebelled seeking freedom from the empire. At the time the first born son held the position of champion of the empire.

His betrayal was a political disaster for the emperor. However this was all stopped when the younger brother was placed in charge of the force sent to quell the rebellion. He was successful in doing so and killing the heads of the house and the former champion. Along with the majority of the personal troops of the house.

This event left the house broken and weak. It has struggled to survive at all since. Many no longer consider it a noble house despite the emperor's pardon given to it after the rebellion. Many question how a house was allowed to exert the level of power Regibus once had. But many more question what will happen with the Neph now that nothing is balancing them and uniting them in service to the empire.

The only surviving members of this house with noble blood are the second son Scaevitas and the daughter Fides.

Personal Fluff: Scaevitas Regibus was the second born son of house Regibus. Folling in his brothers footsteps he joined the royal guard and was renowned for being a great fighter. He always took second to his brother but such things were natural. He trained hard and did well in the guard believing service to the emperor to be the greatest thing he could ever do. He was awestruck when he was detained by his brothers in arms one day. Word had reached the capital of his family's betrayal. Something he was not aware of. His older brother had fled the capital to lead house Regibus's armies alongside their father.

The emperor took a chance and gave command of the royal guard to Scaevitas and ordered him to put down the rebellion at any cost. Scaevitas did so. He caught his brother and his forces outside the citadel. Outnumbered 5-1 Vitas's chances seemed slim. But he was able to cut a path through to his brother. Their fight was short and brutal. Through sheer luck and maybe by the divine will of the dragons Vitas was able to slay his brother but only at severe cost. During the fight a rogue slash from his brother had maimed him of his…..Male pride. The procedure would later be completed by a doctor leaving him functioning but unable to reproduce. After the death of his brother house Regibus's army was heavily demoralized and most of the troops surrendered or fled Shortly after.

Scaevitas was able to enter the citadel with little to no resistance. He captured his parents and had them formally executed the next day before a crowd of thousands of Nephilim and the remainder of the Imperial guard. Vitas did not stop there. He hunted down the remainder of what was now his House's soldiers and had 14 of every 15 executed for high treason.

Upon returning to the emperor Vitas was officially promoted to champion. His noble house was forgiven the sin of treason and both he and his sister were declared innocent of any crimes. This left Vitas firmly under the control of the emperor and inside burned a loyalty bordering on zealotry. All he had left was his duties. His house was in ruins. Most of his family dead. He had to believe the price he paid was worth it and zealotry was a shield against his doubts.

The death of the emperor hit Vitas particularly hard. He felt he was responsible even though he had done exactly as the champion should. He knows there was nothing he could do to stop the storm. He knows he could not disobey the emperor's order to go ahead and clear the landing site. He knows that he is not at fault for the death of the only person in the empire besides his sister that he felt any connection to. But none of that knowledge helps at night when your soul is laid bare to your subconscious.

Name: Baron William Turner Thurmin

Position: Courtier to High Preist

Race: Human

Spouse Races: Human

Religion: Church of the Uniter

Foes: Rival (General), Racial Schism (Beastmen), The Crag Barons

Plot Twists: Commoner’s Blood

House Fluff: House Thurmin is an ancient house and powerful Crag barony with a noble history known for standing proudly in defense of the Empire. In recent time the Thurmin house had fallen on hard times and in an effort to regain it’s former glory sought to engage in open rebellion against the Empire. A young Captain William Turner was set with a token force expected to fail to pacify the family. By appealing to the peasantry of the area that had long suffered the harsh he was able to form a popular rebellion against the House and successfully oust them from power. For completing this task considered suicide by most he was granted the hand of the Thurmin heir Lady Ishel Marxis Thurmin and all the families lands by the Emperor himself. In his efforts to establish a propsperity in his new domains he has attracted many supporters such as Death Knights who sympathize with his efforts in wiping out the undead menaces from beyond the crags and many of the peasantry who view this commoner turned baron who is a symbol of greater things for the common people.

Personal Fluff: William Turner was born in a small hamlet on the imperial province. His mother died in childbirth and his father took up drink not long after. At the age of 14 he ran from home and joined up with the Imperial army under service of the beastman Lord Blackholm. William was quick to rise in the ranks with his tenacity and savage combat skills, this grew into a intense rivalry with the resident beastmen nobility who viewed him as a human commoner that had grown to big for his britches. After rising to the rank of Captain, William slew Lord Blackholm’s son in a sanctioned duel. In his fury Lord Blackholm commanded William on suicide mission to the against the Crag Barons. Through these actions William first found a distaste for those Beastmen butchers who care little for human life common or noble. Pulling off the impossible William was given the Barony by the Emperor further enraging Lord Blackholm. With his new position of power, the threats only grew as Lord Blackholm and the Crag Barons who newly resented this up jumped commoner who now controlled a noble house, threatened him at every turn. He was soon approached by the newly instated High Priest. He would join this new faction and gain social protection in exchange for his use as the churches attack dog in times of conflict. As William began to immerse himself in the politics of the Empire following the High Priests every move, a hate grew in his heart for the current Lord General of the Empire, Ilves Tassu who openly promoted his agenda of beastman advancement. Being commoner like William only seemed to push this hatred further, it seemed he had not earned his seat but gained it through nepotism. William swore he would see their whole race brought low

The HIMSV Dreadnaught. One of the largest and most powerful airships of the line ever built, a much younger Ilves Tassu once remarked to his best friend that he was once fascinated by it, seeing it in passing over the land on some mission or another. It was that he might have had a chance to serve on it that he joined the Imperial Army, but was saddened to learn that only the cream of the cream - which Ilves would never be, under Imperial policies of the time - were allowed to serve a tour on the Dreadnaught. He explained to his best friend that he had resigned to that fact now, but had a resolve to see one of his eventual children serve upon her.

It wasn't until much later that Ilves friend turned out to be a young Crown Prince of the Empire, incognito and learning from being part of the military. It was then that the lynx's world was turned upside down, and he was elevated to a world he thought would not be his line's until his grandchildren.

In the confusing whirlwind that followed, Ilves forgot about his off comment to his Brother. His Brother never did, and when the Emperor, now crowned and reigning, elevated Ilves to the High Generalship of the Empire, he also gave Ilves command of the then-aged Dreadnaught, that it was "At the service of General Ilves Tassu for as long as he serves the Empire".

Over the course of the next years, Ilves lovingly oversaw the refit of the Dreadnaught, sparing no expense to keep it in top shape with the best engines and weapons of the Empire. Defending his expenditures, he stated that the Dreadnaught was on loan, not his personal property. That it was at service to him as long as he served the Empire - and when that was done it would go to the next High General, or the Reigning Emperor to dispense as he chose.

That ultimately, the Dreadnaught was a weapon and tool for war, for destroying other airships, for providing fire support to troops, to being a mobile base from which General Ilves Tassu could oversee the destruction of his Brother's enemies, and the defense of his Brother's Empire.
