The people are malnourished, their animals are sick or dying, and the tools of their trade appear to be broken. The back alleys have been abandoned to flies and mangy dogs. str_town_alt_prosperity_20|You hear grumbling in the marketplace about the price of everyday items and the shops are half empty. You see the signs of malnourishment on both people and animals, and both buildings and tools suffer from lack of repair. Many may already have migrated to seek work elsewhere. str_town_alt_prosperity_40|You hear the occasional grumble in the marketplace about the price of everyday items, but there appear to be a reasonable amount of goods for sale. You see the occasional abandoned building, shop, or cart, but nothing more than the ordinary. str_town_alt_prosperity_60|The people look well-fed and relatively content. Craftsmen do a thriving business, and some migrants appear to be coming here from other regions to seek their luck. str_town_alt_prosperity_80|The walls, streets, and homes are well-maintained.

The rest are weak and malnourished, or have already fled elsewhere. The draft animals have long since starved or were eaten, although a few carcasses still lie on the outskirts, their bones knawed by wild beasts. str_village_alt_prosperity_20|Some farmers and animals are out in the fields, but their small numbers suggest that some villagers may be emigrating in search of food. Farm implements look rusty and broken. Brush and weeds seem to be reclaiming some of the outermost fields. str_village_alt_prosperity_40|The fields and orchards are busy, with villagers engaged in the tasks of the seasons. Humans and animals alike look relatively healthy and well-fed. However, a small number of the outermost fields are left unsewn, and some walls are in ill repair, suggesting that there are still not quite enough hands to do all the work which needs to be done. str_village_alt_prosperity_60|The fields and orchards are humming with activity, with filled sacks of grain and drying meat testifying to the productivity of the village's cropland and pastureland. str_village_alt_prosperity_80|The fields and orchards are humming with activity, with freshly dug irrigation ditches suggest that the farmers have enough spare time and energy to expand area under cultivation.

The draft animals have long since starved or were eaten, although a few carcasses still lie on the outskirts, their bones knawed by the wild jackals of the desert. str_oasis_village_alt_prosperity_20|Few villagers can be seen tending to the palm groves, and in places, the desert dunes appear to be encroaching on the gardens. Many of the canals are clogged with silt, and the wells and cisterns are filled with sand. str_oasis_village_alt_prosperity_40|Men and women are busy tending the palm groves, climbing to the tops of trees to pollinate the fruit. Healthy animals draw the pumps and wheels that bring water to the fields. Some of the irrigation canals and cisterns, however, could use some maintenance. str_oasis_village_alt_prosperity_60|The palm groves and orchards are humming with activity. Farmers call to each other cheerfully from the tops of the trees, where they pollinate the date fruit. The creak of wooden pumps, the bellowing of draft animals, and the rush of flowing water speak of an irrigation system that is thriving under the villagers' attention. str_oasis_village_alt_prosperity_80|The palm groves are humming with activity, as farmers load up a bumper crop of dates for sale to the market. Men and women are hard at work digging new wells and canals, to bring additional land under irrigation. str_acres_grain|acres of grainfields str_acres_orchard|acres of orchards and vineyards str_acres_oasis|acres of irrigated oasis gardens str_looms|looms str_boats|boats str_head_cattle|head of cattle str_head_sheep|head of sheep str_mills|mills str_kilns|kilns str_pans|pans str_deposits|deposits str_hives|hives str_breweries|breweries str_presses|tar ovens str_smithies|smithies str_caravans|overland caravans str_traps|traps str_gardens|small gardens str_tanneries|tanning vats str_master_miller|Master miller str_master_brewer|Master brewer str_master_presser|Master tarer str_master_smith|Master smith str_master_tanner|Master tanner str_master_weaver|Master weaver str_master_dyer|Master woodworker str_war_report_minus_4|we are about to lose the war str_war_report_minus_3|the situation looks bleak str_war_report_minus_2|things aren't going too well for us str_war_report_minus_1|we can still win the war if we rally str_war_report_0|we are evenly matched with the enemy str_war_report_plus_1|we have a fair chance of winning the war str_war_report_plus_2|things are going quite well str_war_report_plus_3|we should have no difficulty defeating them str_war_report_plus_4|we are about to win the war str_persuasion_summary_very_bad|You try your best to persuade {s50}, but none of your arguments seem to come out right. Every time you start to make sense, you seem to say something entirely wrong that puts you off track. By the time you finish speaking you've failed to form a single coherent point in your own favour, and you realise that all you've done was dig yourself deeper into a hole. Unsurprisingly, {s50} does not look impressed. str_persuasion_summary_bad|You try to persuade {s50}, but {reg51?she he} outmanoeuvres you from the very start. Even your best arguments sound hollow to your own ears. {s50}, likewise, has not formed a very high opinion of what you had to say. str_persuasion_summary_average|{s50} turns out to be a skilled speaker with a keen mind, and you can't seem to bring forth anything concrete that {reg51?she he} cannot counter with a rational point. In the end, neither of you manage to gain any ground in this discussion. str_persuasion_summary_good|Through quick thinking and smooth argumentation, you manage to state your case well, forcing {s50} to concede on several points. However, {reg51?she he} still expresses doubts about your request. str_persuasion_summary_very_good|You deliver an impassioned speech that echoes through all listening ears like poetry. The world itself seems to quiet down in order to hear you better .

Your banner will signify your status and bring you honour. Which banner do you want to choose? str_retirement_text_1|Only too late do you realize that your money won't last. It doesn't take you long to fritter away what little you bothered to save, and you fare poorly in several desperate attempts to start adventuring again. You end up a beggar in {s9}, living on alms and the charity of the church. str_retirement_text_2|Only too late do you realize that your money won't last. It doesn't take you long to fritter away what little you bothered to save. Once every coin had evaporated in your hands, you are forced to start a life of crime in the backstreets of {s9}, using your skills to eke out a living robbing coppers from women and poor townsmen. str_retirement_text_3|Only too late do you realize that your money won't last. It doesn't take you long to fritter away what little you bothered to save, and you end up a penniless drifter, going from tavern to tavern blagging drinks from indulgent patrons by regaling them with war stories that no one ever believes. str_retirement_text_4|The silver you've saved doesn't last long, but you manage to put together enough to buy some land near the village of {s7}. There you become a free farmer, and you soon begin to attract potential {reg59?husbands wives}. In time the villagers come to treat you as their local hero. You always receive a place of honour at feasts, and your exploits are told and retold in the pubs and taverns so that the children may keep a memory of you for ever and ever. str_retirement_text_5|The silver you've saved doesn't last long, but it's enough to buy a small tavern in {s9}. Although the locals are wary of you at first, they soon accept you into their midst. In time your growing tavern becomes a popular feasthall and meeting place. People come for miles to eat or stay there due to your sheer renown and the epic stories you tell of your adventuring days. str_retirement_text_6|You've saved wisely throughout your career, and now your silver and your intelligence allow you to make some excellent investments to cement your future. After buying several shops and warehouses in {s9}, your shrewdness turns you into one of the most prominent merchants in town, and you soon become a wealthy {reg59?women man} known as much for your trading empire as your exploits in battle. str_retirement_text_7|As a landed noble, however minor, your future is all but assured. You settle in your holdfast at {s7}, administrating the village and fields, adjudicating the local courts and fulfilling your obligations to your liege lord. Occasionally your liege calls you to muster and command in his campaigns, but these stints are brief, and you never truly return to the adventuring of your younger days. You have already made your fortune. With your own hall and holdings, you've few wants that your personal wealth and the income of your lands cannot afford you. str_retirement_text_8|There is no question that you've done very well for yourself. Your extensive holdings and adventuring wealth are enough to guarantee you a rich and easy life for the rest of your days. Retiring to your noble seat in {s8}, you exchange adventure for politics, and you soon establish yourself as a considerable power in your liege lord's kingdom. With intrigue to busy yourself with, your own forests to hunt, a hall to feast in and a hundred fine war stories to tell, you have little trouble making the best of the years that follow. str_retirement_text_9|As a reward for your competent and loyal service, your liege lord decrees that you be given a hereditary title, joining the major nobility of the realm. Soon you complete your investiture as baron of {s7}, and you become one of your liege's close advisors and adjutants. Your renown garners you much subtle pull and influence as well as overt political power. Now you spend your days playing the games of power, administering your great fiefs, and recounting the old times of adventure and glory. str_retirement_text_10|Though you started from humble beginnings, your liege lord holds you in high esteem, and a ripple of shock passes through the realm when he names you to the hereditary title of {reg59?lady lord} of {s9}.

I am Gailar, son of Gento , of the most ancient and puissant House of Genseric. str_npc5_intro|Greetings, traveller. Would you join me for a drink? str_npc6_intro|I am lost...

Perhaps you can help me. str_npc13_intro|Greetings, traveller. I am Athanagild. No doubt you will have heard of me. str_npc14_intro|Yes? What is it you wish? str_npc15_intro|Oh! Say, friend, are you by chance heading out of town anytime soon? str_npc16_intro|Hello there. From the look of you, I'd say you're expecting to get into some fights in the near future. Are you by any chance looking for some help? str_npc1_intro_response_1|Perhaps. Why former? str_npc2_intro_response_1|Your last five coins? What happened to you? str_npc3_intro_response_1|Hello. What's a clearly well-brought up young lady like you doing in a place like this? str_npc4_intro_response_1|Hmm... I have never heard of the House of Genseric. str_npc5_intro_response_1|Certainly.

I don't think so. str_npc14_intro_response_1|To pass the time of day with a fellow traveller, if you permit. str_npc15_intro_response_1|I am.

Good day to you. str_npc9_intro_response_2|Fetch it yourself! str_npc10_intro_response_2|That's rebel talk, and I'll hear none of it. Good day to you. str_npc11_intro_response_2|I think not, madame. str_npc12_intro_response_2|Sorry, I am afraid that I am otherwise engaged right now. str_npc13_intro_response_2|No, and I can't say that I much want to make your acquaintance. str_npc14_intro_response_2|Nothing at all. My apologies. str_npc15_intro_response_2|I'd be obliged if you minded your own business, sir. str_npc16_intro_response_2|Mind your own business, lass. str_npc1_backstory_a|Well, {reg59?madame sir}, it's a long story... str_npc2_backstory_a|It's a tragic tale, sir. str_npc3_backstory_a|A good question, and I shall tell you! str_npc4_backstory_a|Really? Well, perhaps your ignorance can be forgiven. My ancestral lands are far away, over the mountains, across the sea and along the coast of North Africa...Many call us the Kingdom of the Vandles str_npc5_backstory_a|I am Sigibert, son of Azabei, grandson of Badzan. Were you a Frank, you would likely know from my lineage that I am a Hertogafru of the Frankish lowlands, of the tribe of Shamir, of the clan of Dulam, of the family of Ubayn, from the Pantash valley, and you might be able to guess why I am so far from home. str_npc6_backstory_a|I have committed the greatest of sins, {reg59?madame sir}, and it is to my shame that I must appoint you my confessor, if you should like to hear it. str_npc7_backstory_a|My luck? You could say that. str_npc8_backstory_a|Ah. Well, if you must know, I shall tell you. str_npc9_backstory_a|My most humble apologies. It is sometimes hard to recognize folk amid the smoke and gloom here. I still cannot believe that I must make my home in such a place. str_npc10_backstory_a|It's a long story, but if you get yourself a drink, I'll be glad to tell it. str_npc11_backstory_a|Why, I managed to sell my charms, {reg59?lass lad}. For once I've got money to spend and I intend to make the best of it. str_npc12_backstory_a|I shall tell you -- but know that it is a tale of gross iniquity. I warn you in advance, lest you are of a choleric temperament, and so become incensed at the injustice done unto me that you do yourself a mischief. str_npc13_backstory_a|You have not? Then perhaps you will have heard of my steed, who cuts across the Visigoth plains like a beam of moonlight? Or of my sword, a connoisseur of the blood of the highest-born princes of the land? str_npc14_backstory_a|Very well. I do not mind. My name is Lazalit. str_npc15_backstory_a|I'm a Bard, one might say a famous one as I have been called the prince of the Bards more then once...although looking at it now, that could be due to my lineage. If you need a lady wode, I can do that, given enough time. If you need an epic poem, I can do that too, although it will take longer and cost you more, as someone around here has just found out. str_npc16_backstory_a|Well, {reg59?madame sir}, as long as I can remember I've had a weakness for pretty things, and it's gotten me into trouble, you see. str_npc1_backstory_b|I was Prince Carannog ap Corun, son of King Cornun - Ruler of Ceredigion....but alas that feels like a life time ago now... str_npc2_backstory_b|I am Syagrius, son of Syagrius... last roman general of Gaul. I have been in hidding ever since my fathers defeat and murder by King Clovis. Such a shame for my family, we were once one of the most powerful families in all of Gaul, now look at me, broke and alone, expecting any moment to be assasinated in my sleep. str_npc3_backstory_b|My father, a well-known merchant {s19}in {s20}, decided that I should be married to one of his business partners, a man well past the age of 30. I have been an obedient daughter all of my life, but it was a ridiculous and horrid proposition. So I ran away! str_npc4_backstory_b|Like all the men of my family, I have come to a foreign land to make a name for myself in the profession of arms before returning home to take over custodianship of my estates. Unfortunately, the authorities in these lands have little understanding of the warrior code, and have chosen to call me a bandit and brigand, and put a price on my head -- a most unfair libel to throw at a gentleman adventurer, you will surely agree. str_npc5_backstory_b|For as long as any one can remember, our people have feuded with the tribe of Humyan, many of whom have settled in the next valley over. Many men have died in this feud, on both sides, including two of my brothers. The King himself has ordered us to cease, to save men for the wars in Engeland. But I know my rights, and my brothers' blood cries out for vengeance. I waylaid and killed a Humyan on a track over the mountains, and I rode out of our village the same night, without even having had the chance to bid farewell to my father. I will bide my time in Francia, for a year or two, then return home when the King's men have forgotten. The Humyan will not forget, of course, but such is the price of honour. str_npc6_backstory_b|I was a lord of horse in the service of the lord {s19}in {s20}, and my brother served with me. But we were both in love with the same woman, a courtesan -- a temptress, who played upon our jealousies! My brother and I quarreled. I had drunk too much. He slapped me with his glove, and I spit him upon my sword... My own brother! My sword-arm was stained with the blood of my kin! str_npc7_backstory_b|It was my bad luck to be born to a weak father who married me off to a drunken layabout who beat me. It was my bad luck, when I ran away from my husband, to be taken by a group of bandits. It was my bad luck that the only one among them who was kind to me, who taught me to hunt and to fight, inspired the jealousy of the others, who knifed her and forced me to run away again. str_npc8_backstory_b|I am from an old family in the northern lands, the daughter of a Pict and also a wife to one. I fought by my husband's side, his partner both in war and in peace. But my husband died fighting Britons while I was still childless. My husband had decreed that I should inherit his lands, in the absence of an heir. My brother-in-law, cursed be his name, said that it was not our custom that women could inherit without a son. That was nonsense, but his spear bought the loyalties of enough of my husband's faithless servants for him to install himself in my hall. So I fled, something I was raised never to do, and something I hope never to do again. str_npc9_backstory_b|I was my father's first son, and his heir. But my mother died, and my father remarried. His new wife thought that her son should inherit. She could not move against me openly, but the other day I fed a pot of suet that had been left out for me to one of my hounds, and it keeled over. I accused my stepmother, but my father, befuddled by her witchcraft, refused to believe me and ordered me to leave his sight. str_npc10_backstory_b|A sergeant I was, in the garrison {s19} at {s20}. Twenty years I stood guard for the city, taking many a hard knock in many a tough fight, until they appointed a snot-nosed, downy-lipped princeling, barely out of his mother's cradle, as commander of the garrison. He came upon me standing watch atop the tower, with my crossbow unstrung -- on account of the rain, you see... Can't have the cord loosen... But Little Prince Snot-Nose tells me that an unstrung bow is dereliction of duty. Says he'll have me horsewhipped. And something in me snapped. So I walked off my post. str_npc11_backstory_b|For 30 years I followed the armies of this land, selling them charms and potions, using my spells to help their games of dice or find them girls, and nary a coin was left in my purse at the end. str_npc12_backstory_b|I am by training a simple monk, but condemned by the jealousy of the thick-headed monks in Brittony I have turned to Hermitism. However even a Hermit needs to eat, so I was hired by a merchant of this city to cure his son of deviltry. I successfully taught the boy of the merits of Christ, but the family ignored my advice to baptize him with holywater, and the boy killed another child in cold blood. The father, rather than reward me for my efforts, charged me with corrupting the child -- me, a simple monk! Such is the ignorance and ingratitude of mankind. str_npc13_backstory_b|I am a warrior by profession. But perhaps you may also have heard of my prowess as a poet, who can move the iciest of maidens to swoon. Or of my prowess in the art of the bedchamber, in which I must confess a modest degree of skill. I confess a modest affection for Gaul, and for the past several years have visited its towns, castles, and villages, making the most of my talents. str_npc14_backstory_b|I am the second son of the lord of Arth Mor, of whom you have no doubt heard. Having no inheritance, I crossed the sea from Hibernia to seek my fortune in Briton, training men in the art of battle. Unfortunately, the lord here in {s20} has no taste for the disciplinary methods needed to turn rabble into soldiers. I told him it was wiser to flog them now, then bury them later. But he would not listen, and I was told to take my services elsewhere. str_npc15_backstory_b|The lord {s19}in {s20} wanted an epic poem written about his bravery and massive wealth. Trouble is, he ran out of cash halfway through the process, before I could even complete the last triad. I told him that it was difficult to imagine his 'massive wealth' when he couldn't pay the Bard. Unfortunately he didn't see the humor at the time. The lord didn't feel like honouring his debts so I stopped and now might find myself charged with deception to a lord. str_npc16_backstory_b|I grew up in Petuaria before I was a bonded servant, working alongside my mother in the kitchens of Cair Ebrauc. I would amuse myself by hunting mice through the pantries and sculleries. I was so good at it that I put the castle cats out of a job, and eventually the lord realized that I might also be employed to track down bigger game, on certain errands of a type perhaps better left unsaid. Needless to say, I found a number of opportunities to avail myself of trinkets that had formerly belonged to my lord's enemies. So I was able to buy myself out of bondage, and find hire as a free agent. My last job was {s19}in {s20}. str_npc1_backstory_c|When my father died, I was to take his place as King, however the Gaelic raiders had landed on our coast and was pillaging everything in their path, I knew I could not be King without marching out to meet them in battle, I also knew at the time I was no fighter and would surely be killed on a field only days after the crown touched my head, so I ran. I ran away and haven't been back to my Kingdom ever since! I feel badly for my people, but also happy to be alive. Yet I grow tired of this cowards life and would welcome the chance to prove I am stronger then I was before. So what do you say, could you use a down and out prince in your party? str_npc2_backstory_c|So here I am, no money and no home. str_npc3_backstory_c|I shall marry whom I want, when I want. Moreover, regardless of what my father might think, I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself. I was thinking that I should perhaps join a band of gypsies, or perhaps a troop of mercenaries! str_npc4_backstory_c|But I am anxious to avoid any further trouble, so if you knew of any company of fighting men where I might enlist, I would be most grateful. str_npc5_backstory_c|In the meantime, any opportunities to earn a living with my sword would be most welcome. str_npc6_backstory_c|Do you believe there is hope for a man like me? Can I find the path of righteousness, or am I doomed to follow the demons that dwell inside of me? str_npc7_backstory_c|But I do not count myself unlucky, stranger, no more than any other woman of these Isles, this fetid backwater, this dungheap among the nations, populated by apes and jackals. str_npc8_backstory_c|When I have enough gold to raise an army I shall go back and take what it is mine. str_npc9_backstory_c|I hope to offer my sword to some worthy captain, as it is the only honourable profession for a man of my birth apart from owning land, but in the meantime I am condemned to make my bed among thieves, vagabonds, merchants, and the other riff-raff of the road. str_npc10_backstory_c|Now I'm here getting drunk, and the Devil take tomorrow. str_npc11_backstory_c|It's no kind of life, victualling the armies. You earn a bit here and a bit there as the soldiers spend their money, and then along comes one defeat and they blame you for not casting the right spell and your out of there before they can hang you, endebting yourself to buy a new wagon and new oxen. So I've decided to get out of the business, but army life is all I know. str_npc12_backstory_c|The lord of this town is reluctant to place me under arrest, but I am anxious to move on elsewhere. str_npc13_backstory_c|Which reminds me -- somewhere out there in the city is a rather irate husband. I don't suppose you might consider helping me leave town? str_npc14_backstory_c|So, if you know of any commander who believes that his purpose is to win battles, rather than pamper his soldiers, I would be pleased if you directed me to him. str_npc15_backstory_c|More fool me for having taken the contract without an advance, I suppose, but the end of it all is that I'm in a difficult spot, with the roads full of bandits and no money to pay for an escort. So I'd be much obliged if a well-armed party heading out in the next few days could take me along. str_npc16_backstory_c|Unfortunately, my last employer's wife had a lovely amulet, of a kind I simply could not resist. She doesn't know it's missing, yet, but she might soon. So tell me, are you looking for helpers? str_npc1_backstory_later|I've been here and about, you know, doing my best to keep out of trouble. I'm desperately in need of work, however. str_npc2_backstory_later|I sold my boots and have managed to make a few coins peddling goods from town to town, but it's a hard living. str_npc3_backstory_later|I hired myself on as a cook for some passing caravans, and that at least keeps me fed. But it is rough company on the road, and I grow weary of fighting off Saxons and others who would try to take liberties. I was thinking that if I could find work as a warrior, men would know to leave me alone. str_npc4_backstory_later|I went back to my ancestral barony, to inspect my lands. But we had locusts, you see, and bad rains, and other things, so here I am again, looking for work. str_npc5_backstory_later|I've been wandering through this war-torn land, looking for a leader who is worth following. str_npc6_backstory_later|I have been wandering these Isles, but have yet to find redemption. str_npc7_backstory_later|I have been wandering, looking for work as a tracker, but it has not been easy. Britons are mostly ill-bred, lice-ridden, and ignorant, it is not easy to work with such people and I can not return to my people the Angles str_npc8_backstory_later|I am still seeking a war leader in whose shield wall I would fight. But I need gold, and fast, and the lords of this land as often as not prefer to stay behind the walls of their fortresses, rather march out to where glory and riches can be won. str_npc9_backstory_later|I've offered my sword to a few lords in these parts. But I find as often as not they'll ask me to run messages, or train peasants, or some other job not fit for a knight such as myself. str_npc10_backstory_later|I don't know if I told you or not, but I deserted my unit after I struck a young noble who had ordered me to be horsewhipped without cause. Since then I've been laying low. Thankfully I had the wit to pilfer my captain's purse before heading out, but the money is running low. str_npc11_backstory_later|I've been around and about. But it's a rare captain who'll take on an old bag of bones like me as a fighter, even if I could whip half the boys in his outfit. str_npc12_backstory_later|I have been here and about, tending to the sick and taking what reward I can. But the people of these parts are ignorant, and have little respect for my craft. The few coins I make are barely enough for me to replenish my stock of medicine. I should be grateful for the chance to find other work. str_npc13_backstory_later|I have been wandering through the cities of Gaul, leaving a string of love-sick women and cuckolded husbands in my wake. But I grow weary of such simple challenges, and been thinking of turning myself to more martial pastimes. str_npc14_backstory_later|I have gone from court to court, but I have not yet found a lord who is to my liking. str_npc15_backstory_later|I've been going from castle to castle, looking to see if lords need entertainment. But either the lord's away, or he's got other things on his mind, or I run into his creditors on the street, begging for change, and I realize that here's one job not to take. So if you hear of anything, let me know. str_npc16_backstory_later|I do the odd job from time to time. But there's naught like steady employment, and a regular run of corpses to loot. str_npc1_backstory_response_1|Perhaps. But how do I know you won't turn and run the first time we face trouble on the road? str_npc2_backstory_response_1|Well, perhaps I could offer you work. Can you fight? str_npc3_backstory_response_1|Well, as it happens I run a company of mercenaries. str_npc4_backstory_response_1|I run such a company, and might be able to hire an extra hand. str_npc5_backstory_response_1|That's the spirit! I might be able to offer you something. str_npc6_backstory_response_1|You could join us. Right wrongs, fight oppressors, redeem yourself, that kind of thing. str_npc7_backstory_response_1|Hmm... Are you by any chance looking for work? str_npc8_backstory_response_1|I can offer you opportunities to make money through good honest fighting and pillaging. str_npc9_backstory_response_1|Perhaps you would like to join my company for a while. str_npc10_backstory_response_1|If you're looking for work, I can use experienced fighters. str_npc11_backstory_response_1|What will you do now? str_npc12_backstory_response_1|Well, you could travel with us, but you'd have to be able to fight in our battle line. str_npc13_backstory_response_1|I might be able to use an extra sword in my company. str_npc14_backstory_response_1|I might be able to use you in my company. str_npc15_backstory_response_1|Where do you need to go? str_npc16_backstory_response_1|I might be. What can you do? str_npc1_backstory_response_2|I'll not have you. I have better things to do then to help cowards feel better about themselves. str_npc2_backstory_response_2|Hard luck, friend. Good day to you. str_npc3_backstory_response_2|Go back to your family, lass. Fathers must always be obeyed. str_npc4_backstory_response_2|No, sorry, I haven't heard of one. str_npc5_backstory_response_2|Sigh.. So long as you Frankish clans fight tribe against tribe, you will remain a silly, weak people. str_npc6_backstory_response_2|Away with you, accursed fraticide! str_npc7_backstory_response_2|Actually, I'm rather fond of the Britons. Good day to you. str_npc8_backstory_response_2|Your brother-in-law was right -- women should not rule. Go back home and tend your hearth. str_npc9_backstory_response_2|Some of my best friends are riff-raff. Good day to you, sir. str_npc10_backstory_response_2|No doubt you'll wake up with your head in a noose, and you'll deserve it. Good day. str_npc11_backstory_response_2|Very interesting, madame, but I have work to do. str_npc12_backstory_response_2|Sorry. I can't take on any new hands. str_npc13_backstory_response_2|No, sorry. Nothing I can do for you. str_npc14_backstory_response_2|I'll let you know if I hear of anything. Good day. str_npc15_backstory_response_2|Sorry. I've got all the men that I can manage right now. str_npc16_backstory_response_2|Sorry, lass. You sound like you might be trouble. str_npc1_signup|{reg59?madame sir} -- I'm offended that you would even think such a thing. I'd be most indebted to you, and you'll see that I since learned how to hold a blade, I'm not the same man I was those many years ago. str_npc2_signup|Well, I will confess that I am not a warrior like my father, perhaps why Clovis has little interest in me, but I am versed in trade and Roman law str_npc3_signup|Do you? Well, I am in no position to be picky! I would be pleased to join you. str_npc4_signup|Good! I look forward to vanquishing your enemies. str_npc5_signup|Why, that is a most generous offer. str_npc6_signup|Yes! You must have been sent by divine providence! Lead me -- lead me away from darkness! str_npc7_signup|I might be. I could certainly use the money. str_npc8_signup|Can you? I shall accept your offer. str_npc9_signup|I would very much like that, {reg59?madame sir} str_npc10_signup|Are you, now? Well, that's a sight better than swinging from a gibbet for desertion. str_npc11_signup|Why, I'll be a soldier myself! Help my old hands to a bit of loot to comfort me in my retirement. Two boys I bore, both soldiers' brats, and they became soldiers themselves. One had his head split by a Briton war club, the other died of the pox, but at least they didn't die hungry. str_npc12_signup|As I told you, I am a monk, not some savage with a blade, but I enjoy hard work and have learned much in my studies. str_npc13_signup|Indeed? You would do well to enlist me. str_npc14_signup|I would be pleased to ride with you, at least for a little while, for pay and a share of any loot. str_npc15_signup|Caer Ligualid, eventually, but I'd welcome the opportunity to get a few coins in my pocket, first, so I don't come home empty handed. So if you promise me food and a share of the loot, I'd be happy to fight with you for a while. str_npc16_signup|Well, {reg59?madame sir}, let me tell you. I may not know how to read and write, but I know the quickest way to a man's heart is between his fourth and fifth rib, if you understand me. str_npc1_signup_2|I've ridden over a fair amount of rough country in my time, more often than not in a hurry. I've learned to be a good tracker and also how to hunt for my supper. So what do you say? str_npc2_signup_2|I'm a fast learner. I can ride, while teaching you about fair prices and such. str_npc3_signup_2|I think you would find I would be a most valuable addition to your ranks. I am well versed in the classics of literature and can declaim several of the epic poems of my people. I play the lute and am a skilled manager of household servants. str_npc4_signup_2|Note however that as a gentleman and the holder of estates for the Vandles, I expect to be in a position of command, and not be treated as one of the common soldiers. str_npc5_signup_2|I shall not betray you -- so long, of course, as you do your duty to me by feeding me, paying me, and not dragging my miserable hide into a battle where there is no chance of winning. Hand me some salt, if you will -- it is the custom of our people to take salt from our captains, as a token of their concern for our well-being. str_npc6_signup_2|I am well practiced in the arts of war -- but I beg you, {reg59?madame sir}, I wish to use my skills to defend the innocent, the pure, and the defenseless, not to be a common brigand and wreak more misery than I have already wrought. str_npc7_signup_2|But let your followers know that I do not suffer louts and brutes. Anyone who misbehaves around me will quickly find an arrow in their gullet. str_npc8_signup_2|I shall be pleased to fight in your shield wall. But I warn you -- if you ask me to gather the firewood, or cook a meal, you will not like the consequences. str_npc9_signup_2|I am a knight, and prefer to fight with sword and spear. I recognize that you are of lower birth than I, there is no shame for me to serve under an experienced captain -- presuming, of course, that your followers do not become too familiar with me. I assume that will not be a problem? str_npc10_signup_2|You won't regret taking me on, {reg59?Sister Brother}. I'm a dead eye with a bow -- a beautiful weapon, it can right punch through a nobleman's chain and spill his blue blood upon the ground. And I've trained more raw recruits than you've had hot dinners, begging your pardon. I don't toadie to the high-born. str_npc11_signup_2|I know how to swing a blade, staunch a wound, and feed an army on the march. It would be a foolish captain who passed up the opportunity to hire an experienced witch like me! Say, {reg59?lassie laddie}, don't you command a war party of your own, now? str_npc12_signup_2|I have treated every variety of wound that can be inflicted by the hand of man. Before I was a monk, I was a student, so you may be sure that I have inflicted wounds as well as healed them. str_npc13_signup_2|Sword, spear, the bow -- my skill in all such martial pursuits is the stuff of epic verse. Together we will perform such feats as will be recounted in festivals and campfires, in filthy taverns and in the halls of kings, for many generations to come. str_npc14_signup_2|I am a skilled swordsman, and I can also instruct your men in fighting. But I warn you that I do not care to fight for a leader who is lax in discipline with {reg59?her his} men, for in the long run they will not respect a soft hand. str_npc15_signup_2|Poems are my specialty, although I reckon can handle myself well enough in an open battle, if need be. str_npc16_signup_2|I can throw knives, in addition to stabbing with them, and I'm slippery as quicksilver. You'll find me useful in a fight, I'll warrant. str_npc1_signup_response_1|Good. You can be useful to us. str_npc2_signup_response_1|That will do. str_npc3_signup_response_1|Um, that's a start. We can teach you the rest. str_npc4_signup_response_1|Very well. I'll be glad to have you with us, 'Lord.' str_npc5_signup_response_1|Certainly. Here, have some salt. str_npc6_signup_response_1|Happy to be of service! Get your things together, and we shall be on our way. str_npc7_signup_response_1|I will hire you. Try not to shoot anyone on your first day. str_npc8_signup_response_1|No fear, ma'am. You're the widow and the daughter of a Pictish noble, and you'll be treated as such. str_npc9_signup_response_1|Well, it shouldn't be. I'll have a talk with them. str_npc10_signup_response_1|Good man. We'll treat you with the respect you deserve. str_npc11_signup_response_1|How did you know that? Oh right your gifts - You're hired! str_npc12_signup_response_1|Then welcome to our company, simple monk str_npc13_signup_response_1|Good. Make yourself ready, and we'll be on our way. str_npc14_signup_response_1|Good. I'll be happy to hire someone like you. str_npc15_signup_response_1|That works for me. I will be pleased to hire you. str_npc16_signup_response_1|It sounds like you can do the job. I will hire you. str_npc1_signup_response_2|I'd prefer not to take the risk. Good day, sir. str_npc2_signup_response_2|I'm afraid I'm only looking for men with some experience. Good day to you. str_npc3_signup_response_2|Actually, we were looking for a slightly different skill-set. str_npc4_signup_response_2|Actually, we are not in the habit of hiring bandits with invented pedigrees. Good day, sir. str_npc5_signup_response_2|Actually, on second thought, I prefer to keep more civilized company. str_npc6_signup_response_2|On second thought, maybe a mercenary company is not what you need right now. str_npc7_signup_response_2|Actually, on second thought, you sound like you might be trouble. Good day to you. str_npc8_signup_response_2|Ah. Actually, if you don't do whatever I order you to do, you'd best seek your fortune elsewhere. str_npc9_signup_response_2|You assume wrong, sir. In my company we respect courage and skill, rather than noble birth. str_npc10_signup_response_2|On second thought, we value discipline pretty highly in our company. Good day to you. str_npc11_signup_response_2|Sorry, madame. I'm not hiring a witch to my company. str_npc12_signup_response_2|A battle is not the same thing as a tavern brawl. Perhaps you should look elsewhere for work. str_npc13_signup_response_2|Actually, on second thought, a fighter overeager for glory is dangerous to have in one's company. str_npc14_signup_response_2|Actually, I have no wish to provoke a mutiny in my ranks. Good day, sir. str_npc15_signup_response_2|Actually, I need a different kind of expertise. My apologies. str_npc16_signup_response_2|To be honest, I'd prefer someone who was a little less tempted to larceny. str_npc1_payment|I will be very useful to you, {reg59?madame sir}, you can bet on that. Just one more thing before we leave, would you mind lending me {reg3} coin? I am ashamed to say it, but I have made myself a bit of debt here, staying in this tavern over the last few weeks and the tavern owners no longer believe that I am loaded with a princes gold as I used to tell them. You know, things could get ugly here if they see me leaving with you before paying them. str_npc4_payment|Excellent. Before we depart, would you be so kind to lend me {reg3} coins? I had to pawn a family heirloom at a pawnbroker here in {s20}, and I would like to retrieve it before we leave. str_npc5_payment|Thank you. Now, to seal off our agreement, I ask for {reg3} coins from you. It's an advice my father gave me. He told me 'Sigibert, never fight for a barbarian before {reg59?she he} pays you your worth of gold first'. str_npc7_payment|All right then. I will come with you. But I want a payment of {reg3} coin first. You aren't expecting me to work for free, do you? str_npc8_payment|Then I will fight your enemies for you. But first I want a bounty of {reg3} coins. If you are a worthy captain who can lead {reg59?her his} company to riches and plunder, you should have no trouble paying. I cannot afford to follow a pauper. str_npc9_payment|That's very good of you. And before I join, can you lend me {reg3} coin, so that I can buy some proper clothing that befits a knight of noble birth such as myself. The coat on me has been worn down badly due to my recent bad fortune, and I cannot let common soldiers mistake me as one of their own. str_npc10_payment|That's good news. But I'll ask for one last thing, captain. I have a woman here in {s20}, a tavern wench, and she says she has my child in her belly. I want to give her some money before I leave... for the child, you know. Do you think you can spare {reg3} coin? str_npc11_payment|Hey thank you captain. But before joining up with you, I would ask for a payment of {reg3} coins. I know that in war parties soldiers can go on for weeks without seeing any wages. I am wise enough not to sign anywhere without having myself covered. str_npc13_payment|Before I sign up, there is the small matter of some expenses I have incurred while staying here -- {reg3} coin. Do you think that you could cover those for me, as a gesture of friendship? str_npc14_payment|Ah, one last thing. I would ask for an initial bounty of {reg3} coins before I join your command. It's my principle never to enter someone's service without receiving the payment I deserve. str_npc15_payment|Good. By the way, as a skilled Bard I would expect a payment for my services. A signing bonus of {reg3} coin would be fair, I think. str_npc16_payment|Now, that's good news, captain. So, how about paying me a little something to seal off our agreement? A mere {reg3} would be enough. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I've had some bad luck with employers in the past. str_npc1_payment_response|Very well, here's {reg3} coin. Now, fall in with the rest. str_npc4_payment_response|Certainly. Here's {reg3} coin. str_npc5_payment_response|Well... here's {reg3} coin, then. Your first payment. str_npc7_payment_response|No, of course not. Here's {reg3} coin. str_npc8_payment_response|Oh, I am no pauper, madame. Here's {reg3} coin for you. str_npc9_payment_response|Very well, here's {reg3} coin. str_npc10_payment_response|Of course. Here, {reg3} coin. str_npc11_payment_response|Very well, here's {reg3} coin. Make yourself ready. We leave soon. str_npc13_payment_response|Of course, here's {reg3} coins. Make ready to leave soon. str_npc14_payment_response|All right, {reg3} coin. You are most welcome in our company. str_npc15_payment_response|All right, here's {reg3} coin. Glad to have you with us. str_npc16_payment_response|All right, here's {reg3} coin for you. Make yourself ready. str_npc1_morality_speech|Oy -- my lord. Please don't take this the wrong way, but it's a hard life and it's a bit much that we {s21}. Take a little more care in the future, captain, if you don't mind my saying. str_npc2_morality_speech|I hope you don't mind my saying so, but it's a bit hard for me to see us {s21}. Maybe I ought to try to be more of a hardened soldier, but if we could try to exercise a little mercy from time to time, I'd sleep better. str_npc3_morality_speech|Perhaps it is not my place to say so, {reg59?madame sir}, but I confess that I am somewhat shocked that we {s21}. Of course I realize that war is cruel, but there is no need to make it more cruel than necessary. str_npc4_morality_speech|Your pardon -- just so you know, the men of the House of Genseric do not care to {s21}. I will not be pleased if you continue to take this course. str_npc5_morality_speech|Pardon me, captain. It is not good to {s21}. Your first duty is to the men who have taken your salt. The least they can expect is food, pay, the opportunity to loot, and that you not waste their lives needlessly. str_npc6_morality_speech|Excuse me, {reg59?madame sir}. As you know, I joined with you to right wrongs, protect the innocent, and make amends for my sin. I did not expect to {s21}. str_npc7_morality_speech|Captain -- I do not like to see us {s21}. Such are the actions of a common Briton chief, with no regard for his followers. str_npc8_morality_speech|I was not pleased that you decided to {s21}. To fall in battle is an honour, but to fight in a warband led by a coward is a disgrace. str_npc9_morality_speech|{reg59?madame sir} -- it is not my way to {s21}. Men of my house will accept death but not dishonour. Please do not make me ashamed to serve under you. str_npc10_morality_speech|Begging your pardon, captain. I can't say that I'm happy to see us {s21}. Those are just simple people, trying to make a living. If we could try to go easy on the poor wretches, captain, I'd feel much better. str_npc11_morality_speech|Excuse me, captain. It's not good that we {s21}. I've followed armies and warbands for 30 years, and the least the soldiers expect of a leader is to feed them, pay them, and do {reg59?her his} best to keep their sorry skins intact as best {reg59?she he} can. str_npc12_morality_speech|Captain -- I do not like to see us {s21}. I am prepared to heal a warrior, but not a brigand. Pray let us try to show a little more compassion. str_npc13_morality_speech|Captain, if we can avoid it, I'd prefer not to {s21}. Gaul is a small place, and one's reputation is precious. I would not care for one of my rivals to include this latest unfortunate incident in a satirical verse. str_npc14_morality_speech|I do not care to {s21}. No one with a reputation for cowardice will be properly feared by his men. str_npc15_morality_speech|{reg59?madame sir} -- just so you know my opinion, any commander with sense will not let his company {s21}.I hope you don't mind me speaking so bluntly. str_npc16_morality_speech|Captain. I don't like to {s21}. So many throats left uncut, and so many purses left unexplored... str_npc1_2ary_morality_speech|My lord -- just so you know, I've got no problem if we {s21}. Living to fight another day makes good sense to me. str_npc2_2ary_morality_speech|{reg59?Madame sir} -- I'm not altogether happy that we {s21}. I'm a Roman, and in our world one is bonded by one's word. I don't want a reputation for dishonesty -- such things are the reason I am now without a father, {reg59?madame sir}. str_npc3_2ary_morality_speech|{reg59?madame sir} -- I think it was a brave decision you took to {s21}. There is no shame in finding a way to avoid the spilling of blood. str_npc4_2ary_morality_speech|Your pardon -- whatever anyone else says, I think nothing of it that you {s21}. You should adopt whatever ruse you need to survive in these troubled times. str_npc6_2ary_morality_speech|{reg59?madame sir} -- you may choose to {s21}, but would prefer to have no part in it. Such is not the path to my redemption. str_npc9_2ary_morality_speech|Captain, I am dismayed that you {s21}. A {reg59?gentlewoman gentleman} such as yourself should exhibit the highest standards of honour at all times. str_npc10_2ary_morality_speech|{reg59?Sister Brother} -- I can't say I like to see us {s21}. You should treat your men well, and they'll repay with interest. str_npc14_2ary_morality_speech|Captain -- you should not let it bother you that you {s21}. Armies are made to do their leaders' bidding, and hardships are part of a soldier's life. str_npc15_2ary_morality_speech|You know, friend {playername}, it's none too reassuring to see how you just {s21}. If you can break your word to them, you can break your word to me, is how I figure it. str_npc16_2ary_morality_speech|Captain -- just so you know, it's no problem by me that we {s21}. We do what we need to do to live, and they'd do the same to us if they were in our shoes. str_npc1_personalityclash_speech|Captain -- no offense, but I'm a bit tired of {s11}, who puts on airs like she's something better than your humble servant Carannog. str_npc2_personalityclash_speech|{reg59?madame sir} -- as you recall I was a war orphan before I signed on with you. I respect men who make their living peacefully, not risking their lives in senseless wars. str_npc3_personalityclash_speech|Captain -- in my opinion, {s11} is a hard and cruel man. He speaks of nothing but the need to flog, beat, and hang his fellow soldiers. str_npc4_personalityclash_speech|{reg59?madame sir}. The House of Genseric is one of the most ancient and respected families in the south, with a provenance dating back to the Old Empire. Yet {s11} openly shows me disrespect, and casts doubt on the provenance of my house. str_npc5_personalityclash_speech|A moment of your time, captain. {s11} seems to think me a common bandit, just because I have rewarded myself in the past to the legitimate spoils of a failing empire. str_npc6_personalityclash_speech|Your pardon, {reg59?madame sir}, but I cannot keep my tongue stilled any longer. That harlot, {s11} -- every time she sees me she points the five fingers of her hand at me -- a peasant's sign to ward off evil. str_npc7_personalityclash_speech|Captain, I have done my best to put up with your followers' rude talk and filthy habits. But that one who calls himself {s11} is beyond tolerance. str_npc8_personalityclash_speech|Just so you know, I cannot abide that insolent mountebank {s11}. Some minutes ago, I was remarking to our companions how the peasants of this region were more than usually slack-jawed and beetle-browed, and speculated that perhaps they had bred with apes. str_npc9_personalityclash_speech|Sir -- {s11} is a base braggart, a man with no respect for the honour of women. I am tired of hearing how he conquered this or that damsel. str_npc10_personalityclash_speech|Excuse me, captain. I hate to trouble you with such things, but I just wanted to let you know that I can't abide that fellow Gailar, the one who calls himself a lord of the Vandles. str_npc11_personalityclash_speech|Begging your pardon, captain, but I can't keep silent. That man, {s11} -- he killed his own brother. str_npc12_personalityclash_speech|My lord. The Pagan woman, {s11}, complained of headaches -- a possible symptom of demonic possession. I thought to apply my holywater. str_npc13_personalityclash_speech|Captain, I weary of {s11}, who talks of nothing but chivalry and feats of arms. str_npc14_personalityclash_speech|Excuse me, captain. A few minutes ago, I had expressed the opinion that liberal use of the lash and occasional use of the gallows is essential to keep soldiers in line. Men without a healthy fear of their commanders are more likely to run from battle. str_npc15_personalityclash_speech|Excuse me. I hope you don't mind me telling you that in my opinion, that girl {s11} is a danger to the party. She's a feral brat, disrespectful of authority and the basic principles of the military art. str_npc16_personalityclash_speech|Oy, captain. Just so you know -- there's something funny about {s11}. He makes strange scrawlings in the dirt, and mutters to himself in rhyme. str_npc1_personalityclash_speech_b|She's a common bandit, and she has no right to tell me to keep my distance from her, as she did just now. str_npc2_personalityclash_speech_b|I don't much care to hear {s11} gloat about the Roman's he has killed, or he plans to kill, like he has no respect for the empire. str_npc3_personalityclash_speech_b|I know that an army is not a nursery, and that strong discipline is important, but I do believe that man enjoys cruelty for cruelty's sake. I hope you do not mind me saying so. str_npc4_personalityclash_speech_b|{reg59?madame sir}, these are indeed sorry days if common folk are allowed to mock their betters. That is all. str_npc5_personalityclash_speech_b|I told him that if the warrior's way bothers him so much, that he become a priest or a beggar and so not have to worry about such things. I hope you do not mind that I said such things. str_npc6_personalityclash_speech_b|I know the crime I committed was an abomination, but I am seeking repentance, and I deserve better than to be the object of some witch's superstition. I just thought you should know. str_npc7_personalityclash_speech_b|I do not care for how he stares at me around the campfire after a meal, as he picks his teeth. He reminds me of someone from my past. He is base and ignorant. I do not care to travel with such people. str_npc8_personalityclash_speech_b|{s11}, that font of impudence, overheard me, and called me ignorant, and a savage, and other words I do not care to repeat. It was only out of respect for you that I refrained from cutting his throat then and there. I thought it only fit that I should warn you. str_npc9_personalityclash_speech_b|If he persists, I shall tell him that he is a base varlot, and if it comes to blows I will not apologize. That is all, {reg59?madame sir}. str_npc10_personalityclash_speech_b|He's just a simple brigand, as far as I can tell. House of Genseric, my arse. Genuine blue-bloods are bad enough, but those who pretend to be blue-bloods are bloody intolerable. Anyway, I might have said something a bit sharp to him a minute ago. He seemed to take offense, anyway. I just thought you should know. str_npc11_personalityclash_speech_b|He's a kinslayer, cursed by the gods, and he'll bring misfortune and sorrow upon us, that's for certain. I don't like being around him and have cast numerous banishment spells to keep away from me. str_npc12_personalityclash_speech_b|But when I tried to dose her, she recoiled and struck me, and accused me of witchcraft...me, a simple monk!! Captain, I am deeply tired of attending to the complaints of such an ungrateful and ignorant Pagans. str_npc13_personalityclash_speech_b|Valorous deeds are all very well, but they are not the only goals worth pursuing in life. Personally, I never trust any man who has not at least once woken up drunk in a ditch, or been beaten by the slipper of his lover. str_npc14_personalityclash_speech_b|That chit {s11} saw fit to admonish me for this. I will not have my methods questioned in front of the men, and I will not serve any commander who tolerates such insubordination in his company. Thank you for allowing me to speak my peace. str_npc15_personalityclash_speech_b|What's more, I suspect she's a thief. I found her going through my baggage and pawing some of my Poetic writings, and she pulled a knife on me when I thought fit to object. A wise captain would not allow her in his company. str_npc16_personalityclash_speech_b|Fearing madness, I asked him about it, and he told me that a chit of a girl like myself should mind her own business. So I had a look in his baggage, and found letters and notes written in a strange language. I think he's a sorcerer, or mad {reg59?madame sir}, and if I catch him trying to hex me he'll have a knife in his throat. str_npc1_personalityclash2_speech|{playername}, I don't fancy myself a sensitive soul, but I don't particularly like how {s11} went about cutting the throats of the enemy wounded, back there. str_npc2_personalityclash2_speech|{reg59?madame sir}. If you don't mind, I'd prefer not to be deployed anywhere near {s11}, after what he said to me during that last battle. str_npc3_personalityclash2_speech|{reg59?madame sir}. Since I have joined your company, I have tried hard to learn how to live like a soldier, and how to honour the warrior's code. If I occasionally make mistakes, I would hope to be forgiven. str_npc4_personalityclash2_speech|{reg59?madame sir}. I happened to exchange a few words with {s11} as we were dividing up the spoils of battle. Please inform her that when she speaks to me, she should call me my 'Lord' or perhaps 'Lord Gailar,' or 'Your Grace,' but certainly not just 'Gailar.' str_npc5_personalityclash2_speech|Captain. {s11} needs to have her tongue cut out. str_npc6_personalityclash2_speech|My lord. Did you see {s11} during that last battle? He taunts the fallen foe as they lay stricken and helpless on the battlefield, mocking their parentage, their foolishness for having fought us. str_npc7_personalityclash2_speech|Captain -- I have been searching my mind trying to remember where I have seen {s11}, the one who calls himself a lord of the Vandles. As I watched him in action during that last battle, I suddenly remembered. He is a good fighter, but also a vicious one. str_npc8_personalityclash2_speech|Captain. {s11} is a most insolent girl. I have tried to be polite, even friendly, only to have her rebuff me. str_npc9_personalityclash2_speech|{reg59?my lady sir}, I hope you do not mind me telling you this, but in my opinion {s11}, the Roman, does not know his place. During that last battle, he cut in front of me to engage a foe whom I had marked for my own. str_npc10_personalityclash2_speech|{reg59?Sister Brother} -- a question for you. Are you in charge of this company, or is it {s11}? str_npc11_personalityclash2_speech|Captain. I don't much care for that {s11}. After that last battle, he went around muttering about heathen incantations being in line with the devil, I may be a witch {playername}, but I don't believe my gods are his devils. str_npc12_personalityclash2_speech|Captain. I can no longer abide the witchcraft of {s11}. As I was treating the wounded during our last battle, she saw fit to start her horrid Pagan spell casting thanking imaginary gods for our victory was bad enough, then she started thanking them for curing the people I had just treated! str_npc13_personalityclash2_speech|Hello, captain! {s11} is a temperamental one, isn't he? During that last battle, I was merely having a friendly chat with our foes about their mothers as we exchanged swordblows, and it caused him to throw a fit! str_npc14_personalityclash2_speech|Sir. {s11} is incorrigibly indisciplined. During that skirmish, I called out to him that he should hold ranks with the rest of our battle array. He called back to me that I should 'get stuffed.' str_npc15_personalityclash2_speech|Captain -- I must tell you that I question {s11}'s benefit to being in the party. He does nothing but preach of God and truth, and when I jokingly mentioned sometimes a bard needs to stretch the truth he called me a sinner and walked away from me. str_npc16_personalityclash2_speech|Beg your pardon, {reg59?ma'am sir}. {s11} might have been a prince, but he doesn't have the stomach to be a warrior, if you ask me. str_npc1_personalityclash2_speech_b|The way she whistles cheerfully as she does it -- it puts a chill down my spine, it does. str_npc2_personalityclash2_speech_b|The enemy was bearing down on us, and he says, 'Step aside, Roman, this is knight's work.' Next time I will step aside, and let him take a spear in the gut. str_npc3_personalityclash2_speech_b|After our last victory I was picking through the slain, and availed myself of one of our foe's purses. No sooner had I done so then {s11} came up behind me and struck it from my hands, saying that it was she who had made the kill, and thus she deserved the spoils. My lord, I could not tell in the heat of battle who had struck whom. If {s11} had simply told me that she deserved the purse, I would gladly have given it to her. str_npc4_personalityclash2_speech_b|I am of noble blood, and she is of the basest birth. She must remember her place. str_npc5_personalityclash2_speech_b|When the loot was piled up after the last battle, I found among the enemy's baggage a very decent cooking pot. Often I had wished to find such a pot, so I could boil some of the stews that my people use to warm their bellies during the winter months. But {s11} grabs the pot, and tells me that I will not be allowed to 'taint' it with heathen food, and that it should properly belong to her. I yielded the pot to her, but I will not tolerate such disrespect in the future. str_npc6_personalityclash2_speech_b|My lord -- such hubris will not be overlooked by Heaven, and I fear we shall all of us pay the price. str_npc7_personalityclash2_speech_b|Back when I lived with the Angles, we would sometimes fight with a rival band called the Brethen of the Woods. Captain -- I would not trust any man who hides his origins, and particularly would not trust a common bandit who calls himself a lord. str_npc8_personalityclash2_speech_b|As we were cleaning our weapons after that last battle, I remarked that I thought her a handsome girl, and after I regained my lands I would happily find her a match with one of my warriors. I thought it was a very generous offer, as a woman disinherited by her father is hardly going to find herself awash in prospects. But rather than thank me, she simply turned her back without a word. It was only out of respect for your leadership that I did not immediately try to teach her some manners. str_npc9_personalityclash2_speech_b|I appreciate that he is willing to risk his life in battle, but that alone does not make a knight. He is not of noble birth, and his family's wealth comes from commerce and usury. He may fight with us as an auxiliary, but should not attempt to steal glory from his betters. str_npc10_personalityclash2_speech_b|In that last battle he was shouting at me 'Go forward, go back, hold the line.' When I told him to mind his own trimming he said he'd have me flogged. Captain, that man is looking for a crossbow bolt in his chest, begging your pardon. str_npc11_personalityclash2_speech_b|He said I shouldn't be allow the prayer of thanks for victory, but how can we expect the gods to aid us again if we don't give thanks?!. Captain, I don't want him to make trouble for us on our travels. I think you had best be rid of him str_npc12_personalityclash2_speech_b|Captain, if that woman continues to be allowed to practice her black magic openly I fear it could anger our Lord...as forgiving as he is, I'm sure even he has limits! If you would be kind enough to dismiss her from this company, you would be doing all of us a great service. str_npc13_personalityclash2_speech_b|When all the dust settled, {s11} turned on me and told me not to 'tempt the wrath of the Heavens' with my 'hubris.' I responded that at least I hadn't killed my own brother, which I think bothers the Heavens a lot more than battlefield small talk. {s11} turns red like a baboon's arse and would have struck me had I not artfully dodged out of his away. Tell him to lighten up, will you? str_npc14_personalityclash2_speech_b|{reg59?madame sir}, such defiance of proper authority is a corrosive influence on our company, and I shall have him flogged if he does so again. str_npc15_personalityclash2_speech_b|{s11} Captain, no true monk would have such disrespect. I do not believe you should employ such an obvious impostor. str_npc16_personalityclash2_speech_b|After our last scrap, I was slicing open the guts of some our foes to check for hidden gold, as a girl who counts her pennies ought. He gagged and muttered that I was an 'animal.' I'll inspect his innards for contraband if he doesn't keep a civil tongue in his head. str_npc1_personalitymatch_speech|{reg59?Lady Sir}. {s11} back there didn't do badly in that last fight at all. He's a good egg, too. str_npc2_personalitymatch_speech|{reg59?Madame Sir}. I just wanted to tell you that I see a great deal of myself in {s11}, they may be a rough sort, but we both know a life of former privilege, now lost and I'm proud to call him my companion. str_npc3_personalitymatch_speech|Hello, {reg59?madame sir}! I had just wanted to tell you that {s11} is a most gallant knight. Did you see him in our last battle? str_npc4_personalitymatch_speech|Excuse me, {reg59?madame sir}. I just wanted to say a word in praise of {s11}. He did well in that last battle. str_npc5_personalitymatch_speech|That was a fine battle, {playername} Bahadur! {s11} is a good man to have by our side in a fight. str_npc6_personalitymatch_speech|Captain. Sometimes I am troubled by all this bloodshed, although I know that proud warlords must be humbled, and cruel bandits tamed, if we are to restore peace to the Isles. str_npc7_personalitymatch_speech|Captain. I was just talking to {s11}. She may be a bit savage, but I believe that she is a faithful friend. str_npc8_personalitymatch_speech|A fine battle that was, captain. And I have to say, I admire the taunts that {s11} hurled at our enemy. str_npc9_personalitymatch_speech|Captain. {s11} acquitted herself well in that fight back there. A fine, modest maiden she is, if I dare say so myself. str_npc10_personalitymatch_speech|Ahoy, Brother! I wish you joy of your victory! Say, old Mother {s11}'s not bad in a scrap, is she, for a woman of her years? Although I'm getting to be a bit of an old dog myself, now. str_npc11_personalitymatch_speech|Ach, captain! A fight like that one sets my old joints a-creaking. Still, we licked them pretty good, didn't we? str_npc12_personalitymatch_speech|A bloody business, captain, a bloody business -- although a necessary one, of course. {s11}, I believe, shares my ambivalence about this constant fighting. str_npc13_personalitymatch_speech|You have earned your name today, oh valorous one! And {s11}, too! I like that one. She sings the songs of her people as she goes into battle, which appeals to an artistic soul like my own. str_npc14_personalitymatch_speech|Captain. It is a pleasure going into battle with men like {s11} by my side. str_npc15_personalitymatch_speech|Captain. I was just having a word with {s11} after our last battle, and it strikes me that the man has got a good head on his shoulders. str_npc16_personalitymatch_speech|Oy -- captain. I was just having a chat with {s11}, as we picked through the bodies after our last little scrap. str_npc1_personalitymatch_speech_b|Without good honest souls like him to teach us Gods forgiveness, scoundrels like me would have a hard time in life, I'll warrant. I'm glad to have him with us. str_npc2_personalitymatch_speech_b|Based on how he did in that last fight, I'd say that his days of cowardice are over and I'd trust my back to him any day of the week. str_npc3_personalitymatch_speech_b|I also confess that I find him a truly delightful companion, a man of both wit and manners. Perhaps, perhaps... Ah, but I say too much. Good day, {reg59?madame sir}. str_npc4_personalitymatch_speech_b|You chose well to enlist him in our company. He knows a thing or two about a fight, and also knows the importance of respecting his comrades-in-arms, unlike some others I might mention. str_npc5_personalitymatch_speech_b|As for his other attributes, I doubt that he is any more a Baron than I am, but I have to admire the brazen way he makes that claim. str_npc6_personalitymatch_speech_b|I must say that {s11} is a source of great comfort to me. I have told him of my sin, and he said to me that Heaven will forgive my transgression, if I truly repent and truly desire such forgiveness. He is wise, and I am glad that he is with us. str_npc7_personalitymatch_speech_b|At some point in the future, if you have no need of our services, she has promised to go back to the Angles with me, find the bandits who murdered my lover, and help me take my revenge. It was a kind offer. I am glad that she is with us. str_npc8_personalitymatch_speech_b|He managed to include their genealogy, their appearance, and their eating habits in a well-framed Old Roman quatrain. I personally prefer a Pictish saga, but despite what you may here we Picts respect poetic craftwork when we hear it. if only he wasn't Visigoth I may consider him a worthy mate str_npc9_personalitymatch_speech_b|Were she of noble blood, I might ask for her hand. It is a pity that she is a merchant's daughter. But speaking with her is a pleasant way to pass time on the march. str_npc10_personalitymatch_speech_b|Heh. It just goes to show that youth ain't everything, that experience also wins battles. I reckon she and I could teach the young puppies of the world a thing or two, couldn't we? str_npc11_personalitymatch_speech_b|Old {s11} in particular showed them a thing or two, I thought. Not bad for the pair of us, I thought, given that between us we've probably seen close to a hundred winters. str_npc12_personalitymatch_speech_b|It saddens him deeply to take the lives of his fellow men, however just the cause. He and I have talked together of a brighter future, of the need to unite these petty warring kingdoms under a single God, only this may bring an end to the troubles of this world. str_npc13_personalitymatch_speech_b|Also, although I normally prefer the coy to the Romanesque, I confess that I have also noticed the femininity she tries to hide beneath her war paint. True, she is a bit aloof on the march and in camp, but perhaps my fair words can melt the Pictish ice around her heart. str_npc14_personalitymatch_speech_b|He is a professional soldier, and though he may not be as fast on his feet as some others, he knows the wisdom of holding together in a disciplined battle-line. You showed good sense in bringing him into this company. str_npc15_personalitymatch_speech_b|War, like any other affair, requires careful planning and preparation, and a firm grasp of strategic principals. All other things being equal, the best trained army will win the battle, an observation that I think our last fight bears out. The men may curse him now, but they'll learn to thank him, I'll warrant. str_npc16_personalitymatch_speech_b|Have you heard her story? Can you believe the wrongs done to her? I tell you, it makes my blood boil. I want to cut off all the little bits of those bastards who mistreated her -- and I'll do it, too, if we ever run into them in our travels. str_npc1_retirement_speech|I'm a bit tired of marching up and down the land, shedding my blood for someone else's cause. The loot is nice, but I think I've got enough of that, now. I'm going to head back to Ceredigion, take a wife, settle down, maybe open a monastery for other lost souls like me - I just hope my nephew the King forgives my past cowardice. str_npc2_retirement_speech|I'm getting a bit tired of the warrior's life. I'm going to invest my share of our loot into founding a monastery -- north Brittony, probably -- and teach the grace of God and that peace is the way to salvation. I would like to thank you again for taking me on, and wish you the best of luck. str_npc3_retirement_speech|I am afraid I have something to tell you. I have decided that the warrior's life is not for me. I think it is probably too late for me to find a good marriage -- no one of my people would take a wife who had served with a company of soldiers -- but I may have enough money to start myself up as a merchant. I hope you will not be angry, {reg59?madame sir}. str_npc4_retirement_speech|I have fought with you honourably, as befits a son of the House of Genseric, but I am not altogether satisfied with your leadership. I will go home to my ancestral estates, which are much in need of my services. str_npc5_retirement_speech|{playername} -- since I have taken your salt, I have fought for you fiercely, and loyally. But you have not always repaid my service with the kind of leadership that I deserve. So I am going home, in the hope that the King's men have forgotten me, to see my father and brothers again. str_npc6_retirement_speech|I joined this company in the hope that you would lead me out of darkness, and indeed I have found a measure of peace here. But I have some qualms about your leadership, and have begun to suspect that the path to redemption can be found elsewhere. str_npc7_retirement_speech|I am tired of this squalid life of endless warfare, seeing men debased by fear, greed, lust, and a hundred other sins. I have money in my purse. I am going overseas to look for a better land than these Isles. I assume that you will fare well without me. str_npc8_retirement_speech|I have fought in your shield wall, and done well by it. But your leadership is not always to my liking, and anyways I have another task. I will take what plunder I have won and raise a warband of my own to march North to Pictland to take back my husband's hall from my treacherous brother-in-law. I wish you well. str_npc9_retirement_speech|We have fought well together, and earned ourselves much glory. But I have some reservations about your leadership, and at any rate have my patrimony to reclaim. I will be leaving you. Perhaps we will meet again. str_npc10_retirement_speech|I've had enough of tromping up and down the length and breadth of these lands. I've got enough to buy a small bit of land somewhere, so I think I'll give that a try. So long, and best of luck to you. str_npc11_retirement_speech|You did an old woman a great service by taking her into your company. But I'm afraid I'm finding this life no more to my liking than driving a wagon and making potions. Too much cold, too much hunger, and at the end all I see in front of me is a hole in the ground. So I'll be off, although I don't know where. str_npc12_retirement_speech|I've done all right in your company. I filled my belly, put some gold in my purse, and even converted a few Pagans along the way -- I can't complain about that! But I think right now that service in this company is holding me back. I have a duty to share my findings with other monks, and for that I need to enter a monastery. I shall be going home str_npc13_retirement_speech|As the luster of your name grows ever brighter, I fear that my own reputation will seem pale in comparison, as the moon is outshined by the sun. I have decided to strike out on my own. The very best of luck to you! str_npc14_retirement_speech|I would like to inform you that I wish to sever our relationship. I intend to seek alternative employment. str_npc15_retirement_speech|I appreciate that you took me on, but I'm not altogether happy about how things have worked out. I'm going to head off elsewhere -- maybe go home, maybe find another job, I haven't quite decided yet. str_npc16_retirement_speech|I've had good times in this company, and I've found myself a pretty trinket or two on the battlefield, but right now it isn't working out. I'm leaving you to go offer my talents to someone else. str_npc1_rehire_speech|{reg59?My lady Good sir} -- it's good to see you again. I know we had our differences in the past, but to tell you the truth, those were some of the best days I've known. And, to tell you the truth, I've had a bit of difficulty finding forgiveness in Ceredigion. Listen, if you'd be willing to have me back, I'd be willing to sign up with your company again. str_npc2_rehire_speech|{reg59?madame sir}! It's good to see you again. But I'll confess -- I've been looking for you. I had just finished building my monestary when bandits came over the hill and slaughtered the monks who were helping me -- the burned everything to the ground, and lost I it all. I guess I'm just destined to fight for my fortune. Also, people tell me that you've done very well for yourself. So tell me, {reg59?madame sir}, would you have me back? str_npc3_rehire_speech|Well, hello {reg59?madame sir}! It is very good to see you again. I have not fared so well since we parted, I am afraid. My mother's family. whom I hoped would give me a start in trading, have not been as welcoming as I have hoped. I receive nothing but lectures from my aunts, on how I have ruined my prospects for marriage by taking service in a mercenary company. Perhaps I am better suited to war than to commerce, to share a meal over a campfire with rough fellows than to drink wine with the burghers of Italy. {reg59?madame sir}, I must ask you -- will you take me back? str_npc4_rehire_speech|Why hello, captain. It's been a while. You've done well for yourself, I hear. For my part, I've been having some difficulties coaxing a living from my estates -- locusts, bad rains, unruly serfs, that sort of thing. I thought I might take up the sword once more. I know there's been some bad blood between us, but I'd be honoured to fight in your ranks once again. str_npc5_rehire_speech|{playername}! Your fame grows ever greater -- even as far as my homeland, beyond the rivers. I'd returned there, hoping that the King's men had forgotten. Well, they had not -- even before I set foot in my valley, I had word from my family that both the King and the Humyan were looking for me. So I came back again, hoping you might forget any harsh words I had spoken, to see if I could fight with you once again. str_npc6_rehire_speech|It is good to see you, {reg59?madame sir}. Everywhere I go, men are in awe of your deeds. I have not had it so well since I left. Wherever I go, I feel my demons returning. My soul is in turmoil. For reasons that I cannot fully explain, I had found peace in your company, even if I had questions about your leadership. Will you allow me to serve with you once again? str_npc7_rehire_speech|Captain! It is good to see you. Forgive what I may have said when we parted. I took a ship out of Gipeswic, bound for the east, but it was taken by strange pirates from the upper north, after my ransom I was set ashore back here. There may be better places in the world than these Isles, but I have yet to see them. So I think, if it is my lot to live here, then your company is as good a livelihood as any. Will you have me back? str_npc8_rehire_speech|Greetings to you, {playername}. I was wondering if the words spoken between us in the past could be forgotten. I have been hunting among the North here, to see if I could find enough men to take back my husband's hall. But I could not find enough men, and those whom I gathered quickly got bored and wandered off -- not, I will add, before they drank away such gold as I had accumulated. So I thought back to the battles we fought together. Those were good days, and profitable ones too. str_npc9_rehire_speech|My dear, dear {reg59?lady man}! So good it is to see you! I have sought service with the lords of this land, even served under Arthur himself and has a seat on his round table, but alas there was a terrible misunderstanding regarding Guinivere... and long story short I had to leave before I lost my head! str_npc10_rehire_speech|Captain! It's good to see you. You see, it turns out I'm not much of a farmer. Too soft on the hired hands, I figure. I let them rob me blind. I guess fighting is what I know best. So tell me, captain, are you still looking for good men? str_npc11_rehire_speech|Captain! So good to see you! People say that you've been making gold hand over foot. I'm a fidgety old bag of bones, I'll admit. I left you because I wasn't satisfied with the warrior's life, but I spend a bit of time in town and I realize that there are worse things in life than a full belly, honest companions, and the joy of seeing the enemy run before you. So, would you be hiring again str_npc12_rehire_speech|Captain! It's a fine thing to see an honest face like yours. This world is full of lies. I went home to join the local Monastery, they said they followed the proper one true faith. But it turns out to my horror they were all Arians!! Imagine, believing that Jesus was son of God and not one with God! Blasphemy I say, no trilogy! Blasphemy all the way! - I'll keep trying to found my own monastery if I have to, but first I need a bit of money in my pocket. Are you looking for a monk? str_npc13_rehire_speech|Well hello there, oh valorous one. I had been hoping to see you again. Everywhere I go, I hear tales and songs of your deeds. I will admit that I felt a twinge of regret that we had parted ways, and, I'll confess, a twinge of jealousy as well at your reputation. I thought that once again I might fight by your side, and thus bask in the reflection of your glory. Perhaps we might ride together again, for a little while? str_npc14_rehire_speech|Captain. It is good to see you. When last we parted, I was ready to swear that I would not serve you again, but perhaps I judged you too harshly. All over Briton and Hibernia, men sing your praises. I have tried serving in other lords' armies, and believe me, what I have seen of them restores my opinion of your leadership. If you would have me in your company, I would fight for you again. str_npc15_rehire_speech|Why hello, {playername}. I can't say I'm entirely displeased to see you. You see, I took on another contract before I left, and sure enough, when it came time to collect the pay, the lord had nothing but talk and excuses and petty little complaints about my handiwork. I can't say I was always happy in your company, but at least I put gold directly into my purse after every battle. You still offering work? str_npc16_rehire_speech|Captain! They say that you've done well for yourself since we last met. I'll come out and admit that I cursed your name when we parted ways, but thinking back on it you weren't all that bad. All these lords, they're glad enough to send me on little side errands, but they don't much care to have me in their main battle-line. Apparently I spook the men. I've heard it muttered that I'm a witch, or that I eat men's hearts after killing them, or other rot. Not that I mind stabbing a man while he's asleep, but it's a lot more gratifying when he's awake and kicking. So I thought I'd try to find you again, see if you'll take me on. str_npc1_home_intro|My {reg59?lady lord} -- as you know, I was born around here, close to the town of Ceredigion. This is where I surrendered the crown and left my people to the Gaelic warbands. str_npc2_home_intro|We're approaching Gwened. That's where I started my exile after Clovis murdered my father. str_npc3_home_intro|Can you smell that? Lemon trees, apples and grape fields, it's the scent of Pictavis. I spent many a happy summer here when I was a girl, playing in the gardens of my mother's family while my father was away trading. str_npc4_home_intro|The Woods of Ehlerdah. Bah. This place is thick with bandits and outlaws. str_npc5_home_intro|{playername}, we are nearing Tournai, largest town in the upper lower valley. My mother's sister went here to marry a townsman and I thought to seek service with the lord here. That is when I ran into you. str_npc6_home_intro|I can see the rocky cliffs near my home. I have no wish to see my family, so I will linger near our ship if you go ashore. I am sure that you will understand. str_npc7_home_intro|Do you smell that? Salt fish, rotting flax and river mud. The smells of my childhood. I want to retch. str_npc8_home_intro|Hmf. Do you hear that? It must be the winds over the Mores. We must be near Pictland. str_npc9_home_intro|Behold Camelot! The strongest fortress in the Isles. My father hoped one day I would join Arthur and have a seat at his round table. str_npc10_home_intro|D'you smell that fresh air, {reg59?Sister Brother}? This was my home, before I went abroad in search of coin. It's good to be up in the hills again. It's the smell of freedom. This is the cradle of Briton liberty, here under Din Erth Castle str_npc11_home_intro|I see the ocean. We must be getting near home. str_npc12_home_intro|We're passing by the site of one of my greatest spiritual triumphs, if that interests you. str_npc13_home_intro|Ah, Tours! Such a lovely spot, at the foot of the lower reaches of the Loire river. Such happy days I spent here, the summer before last. str_npc14_home_intro|Do you see that fortress up there, on the spur over the valley? Emain Macha? I spent a winter there some years back, trying to train the lord's men. str_npc15_home_intro|You see that castle up on the hill? Din Eidyn, it's called. I did some work there, not long ago. It's not as showy as some of the other castles in this land, but it's the finest stonework you ever saw. str_npc16_home_intro|Aye, captain, do you see those? The flooded river banks. We must be getting near to my birthplace. str_npc1_home_description|If you don't mind, I'd prefer not to enter the town if we're going that way, my nephew the King has little interest in seeing me and I would prefer not to face my peoples judging eyes. str_npc2_home_description|People say that the Britons are a bunch of bloodthirsty barbarians, but they have a good head for trade, if you ask me. They are also fiercely loyal, I found many friends there that still longed for a return of the empire. str_npc3_home_description|Pictavis has wet winters and hot summers, but the people here grow grapes -- Pictavis wine is famous, {reg59?madame sir} -- and those who can afford it make walled gardens, where fruit trees grow in abundance, and we sit at night listening to music, or playing Tesserae, or merely sniff the night air. str_npc4_home_description|Well, you see, the King of Francia declared this to be his personal hunting preserve, and said he'd kill any man who as much as strung his bow here. So what happens? Some family goes hungry, and succumbs to the temptation to poach, and the king's magistrates comes along and strings him up and takes his land. His sons, rather than starve, go bandit. And so naturally anyone in the whole valley who feels the need to run away from a debt or a nagging wife or a vengeful noble comes up here to join them, living on wild pigs and berries and the purses of unwary travellers. str_npc5_home_description|My Germanic people had always come here, to trade and raid, and in the last days of the Empire we began to settle. Just like the Visgoths, Saxons, and Celts, we took the Emperor's coin to keep the other tribes at bay. But when the Great Horde of Attila attacked our homeland in my grandfather's day, we moved into this region in force. We pushed the Celts back, and made their fortresses our own. str_npc6_home_description|Here on the Isle of Lyonesse, our dialect and customs are closer than anywhere else to those of the old Celts. We grow olives and wine, both crops brought to this land from overseas by the emperors, and also follow the old ways. We keep our pledges and pay our debts. str_npc7_home_description|Before I was married off, and before I was taken by bandits, I lived here. I was born in a hovel and spent my childhood in the fields. Our lands were Angle, our village was Angle, and this place is where many of my people landed from the mainland, come to conquer and enslave the Britons. My father, coward that he was, cringed every time he saw another warship on the horizon. str_npc8_home_description|You haven't heard the story? When the Romans conquered much of Briton, Ceasar marched north and planted his standard on the headland and said it would remain there until he captured the north. Hah, every Legion the Romans sent was crushed and they had no choice but to build two walls to keep us out! str_npc9_home_description|The Saxons may try to take this Rock, but they will have to get past me, Arthur and thousand other Briton lads before we let that happen. str_npc10_home_description|In my father's day the Gaelics would come calling, thinking to make us knuckle our foreheads and call them their overlords. But Cunedda Wledig, an old veteran of the wars from the hills, showed us how to form a battleline with spear and shield that could break the barbarian charge. He fell in battle, but the people don't forget his name. str_npc11_home_description|I'm from Juteland across the sea, but we landed here 30 years ago. Came for the fertile fields. You can see it in the soil here -- rich and black, and smells of good harvests and full bellies. str_npc12_home_description|The lord over there in that Castle was Pagan, but his daughter was ill, so he called not only Pagan healers, but Christian monks for prayer and cure. The Pagans tried first, but non of their foolish potions did a thing, when they called me forth, the poor girl was worthless and near death, but I prayed to God the Father for seven days for the cure By the end of the seventh the girl opened her eyes and had been healed! str_npc13_home_description|I had come up here with a small Visigoth force, but they were caught by the Franks in the woods and their horsemen cut down amid the trees. I fled and found shelter up in the high valleys, in the arms of the comeliest cowherd you ever saw. She took me to a cave near the high pastures, and would bring me cheese and berries, and tell me the tales from the hills -- of playful goat-men who guide lost animals back to their flocks, or of ghostly huntsmen who ride the winds, chasing stormclouds. Such rustics they are! str_npc14_home_description|I say 'trying' because in my opinion, Ulaid's don't take well to discipline. Fine slingers, and good riders too, but they have no stomach for fighting in ranks. Their skills serve them well enough against Munster or Leinster, particularly when they can hide behind walls, but my Northern Uí Neill brothers can match them spear for spear, and cut through their lines like a knife through butter. str_npc15_home_description|Beautiful location, too -- the fort sits right in front of the pass leading north into Pictland, which allows the lord to charge a pretty penny in tolls during the three months of the year that it's not snowed in. str_npc16_home_description|The Humber river is always flooding this time of year, and the land is hard to farm while most of it is under water. You can grow a bit of barley, but not much else. But there's wealth here in the woods deer, rabbit and lynx, meat and furs, and the mountains have iron, and traders would ship enough saltfish up the river from the coast to keep the people fed for the winter. str_npc1_home_description_2|A nice town though, I'm very happy the Gaelics were stoped short of burning it to the ground. str_npc2_home_description_2|Anyone of them could have turned me over to Clovis for a large chunk of silver, but fortunately they dislike the Franks as much as I do. str_npc3_home_description_2|The poets call Pictavis a paradise, and I think for once that they do not exaggerate. str_npc4_home_description_2|How do I know this, you ask? Well... I was taken by them, and held for ransom, but I got away. That's really all there is to tell. str_npc5_home_description_2|Of course, you know how things go. My father's generation were hard warriors from the cold lands across the rivers, but this generation all has houses in the town and great estates and spend time as much trading as they do practicing axe throwing. The next generation will grow soft on wine and will lose their lands to the next batch of illiterate hill-raiders to come over the mountains, just you watch. It's how things always were, and how things always will be. str_npc6_home_description_2|We men of Lyonesse also never forget an insult, and avenge any wrong done unto us. Old-fashioned Celtic honour, I dare say, has brought me to my current fallen state. But despite that, I am proud to be from this region. Our lord is a vassal of the Cornubian king just as he is technically a vessel of the Dumnonian king, but as far as we are concerned he is just yet another chieftain, and we are a free people. str_npc7_home_description_2|We were allowed to fish the river, raise pigs amid the reedbeds, and grow whatever we could in our private plots, but in the open fields we were only permitted to grow flax, to be taken to Gipeswic and woven into linen. So we were always hungry, and weak, and never had the courage to rebel. str_npc8_home_description_2|The skalds' tell us we are the strongest for we were never fully conquered by Rome. Even if it takes a thousand years some day all of the Isles will be ours. str_npc9_home_description_2|Just as the Saxons call on their kinfolk overseas, so does the Arthur king call on his kinfolk from all over the Isles. Had my father not disinherited me, I would also have taken an oath of fealty to the lord of Camelot. But just as I was shorn of my inheritance, so also was I shown of my obligations, and it is Arthurs loss. str_npc10_home_description_2|We grow apple trees here. So no peasant shall starve -- they take them to Decantouion -- and the craftsmen of Decantouion make good spears, and for that I'll not begrudge them eating our apples str_npc11_home_description_2|The Briton kings will tell you that these lands belong to them, and that's why they should rule them. Mind you, I don't care much about politics, {reg59?madame sir} -- But I've sold provisions and chamrs to every army that ever marched these Isles, and I tell you that I wouldn't expect foreign mercenaries to fight my wars. Why these high and mighty kings and nobles can't fight their own wars, I'll never know. But I prattle on a bit, there, don't I? str_npc12_home_description_2|needles to say the lord converted to Christianity that very morning, although in retrospect it could have been tree root ointment that cured her. But either way, I put that lord onto the one true faith, and he availed me of a sack of gold from the corpse of a freshly hanged innocent. Ha! At least our lord teaches forgiveness. str_npc13_home_description_2|Eventually I had to leave, and sometimes I wonder if there is a little herdsboy swaddled on her back, as she takes the cows up to pasture each morning. I'd be tempted to try to find her -- but no, no, one should never look back. str_npc14_home_description_2|If anyone were ever to unify this little land of ours, I'd sign up to serve them, free of charge. I'd put together an army of Northern Uí Néill spears with Saxon footmen on the flanks and Briton archers in front, take along some Pictish scouts to find and fix the enemy, and some Camelot knights to finish them off. I'd take that army over the mountains and make the whole world kneel to the Isles.... Of course, that's what the Emperors thought, and in the end the tribes took away their Empire. str_npc15_home_description_2|And here's the funny thing -- my father wanted me to rule it. You can guess how long that lasted after he read my first peom, had to respect him there he never forced the issue let me become a Bard and leave ruling to another.' str_npc16_home_description_2|I grow up nearby in Petuaria, once a major Roman settlement, and before that Capital to the Celtic tribe of Parisi, but you wouldn't know any of this by looking at it now. My village has seen better days for sure - nothing more now then a flooded out backwater village under the control of an even more flooded backwatered town. str_npc1_home_recap|Even if {s21} stood by no help of mine. str_npc2_home_recap|I may have been born over the mountains - A Roman, the son of a Roman, and the grandson of a Roman, but I would call Brittony my home now. str_npc3_home_recap|I used to live in my father's house in {s20}, but I spent much of my childhood there. str_npc4_home_recap|Our ancestral lands is over the mountains, across the Culdarr pass. str_npc5_home_recap|I was born in the lowlands on the other side of the rivers, past Colonia, but I have relatives in {s21}. str_npc6_home_recap|My family lives in {s21}, but I cannot bear to face them. str_npc7_home_recap|I was born in a hovel in the fens, not far from {s21}. str_npc8_home_recap|I was born in Pictland, and my husband's hall is also in Pictland. str_npc9_home_recap|I am from further away though, in the kingdom of Cynwidion is where my father's homestead stands. str_npc10_home_recap|Born and raised in Degannwy, {reg59?Sister Brother}, and I hope some day to buy land there. But I had a mind to see a bit of the world first, so I took my bow and went off to the wars. str_npc11_home_recap|I was born in the train of an army, and lived all my days in the train of an army. My folks settled in Cantwareburh, however, so I guess that's as much home to me as anywhere. str_npc12_home_recap|I come from overseas. I travel the world spreading God's word. str_npc13_home_recap|Oh, far away from here, my {reg59?lady lord}, else you would already have heard of me, and would not need to ask such things. str_npc14_home_recap|I am the younger son of the lord of Arth Mor. str_npc15_home_recap|I'm from over the hills of North Briton. But the South is where the money is to be made, these days, if your trade is barding. str_npc16_home_recap|Why, captain, I was born in Petuaria village, but my mother lost her land to a scheming relative and had to put herself in bond to a nearby lord in Caer Ebrauc. str_npc1_honorific|{reg59?my lady my sir} str_npc2_honorific|{reg59?madame sir} str_npc3_honorific|{reg59?madame sir} str_npc4_honorific|captain str_npc5_honorific|{playername} str_npc6_honorific|captain str_npc7_honorific|captain str_npc8_honorific|{playername} str_npc9_honorific|{reg59?my good lady my good sir} str_npc10_honorific|{reg59?Sister Brother} str_npc11_honorific|{reg59?lassie laddie} -- I mean Captain str_npc12_honorific|{reg59?my good lady my good man} str_npc13_honorific|oh valorous one str_npc14_honorific|commander str_npc15_honorific|captain str_npc16_honorific|captain str_npc1_kingsupport_1|That's a great idea. All these kings and queens and landed nobles who rule now, with their prisons and gibbets and scaffolds, the whippings and brandings and hangings for any man who might be driven to save their own neck over that of a lord -- these lands deserves something better. str_npc2_kingsupport_1|Well, captain -- I'd support you. I think you'd give these Lands the kind of enlightened rule which it has long needed. str_npc3_kingsupport_1|Well, my {reg59?lady lord} -- I would worry for you. Our histories tell us that power tends to corrupt. But in the end, I am comforted by the mercy and judgment you have shown as captain of this company. str_npc4_kingsupport_1|Well, captain, I think that you would be the kind of {reg59?Queen King} that well-born gentlemen such as myself would be proud to follow into battle... str_npc5_kingsupport_1|A fine idea, {playername} - you have shown that you know how to govern men. Mind that you govern them justly, though... str_npc6_kingsupport_1|I cannot judge the legal merits of your claim. However, I think that unlike the other rulers here, you have the capacity to unify this land -- and that would put a stop to these endless wars, between kingdom and kingdom, noble and noble, and brother and brother, that have brought us all into disgrace in the eyes of the heavens. str_npc7_kingsupport_1|Aye -- you'll do well. You know how to treat Angles and Saxons. str_npc8_kingsupport_1|The Pictish saga tells us that a man who does great deeds, beyond those of any other of his time, may claim the throne. I'd say that you could make that claim. str_npc9_kingsupport_1|Very good, my lord. I'm a Briton by blood, but Arthur never stood for me when I was cheated of my inheritance. So I don't owe him anything, and I say, 'Let the throne go to the most valiant!' Which would be you, {reg59?my lady sir}. str_npc10_kingsupport_1|Well, {reg59?Sister Brother}, I suppose there must be kings and queens, and if there must be kings and queens, then you would be as good a {reg59?Queen King} as any... str_npc11_kingsupport_1|Why, that's a fine idea, {reg59?lassie laddie}! I suppose I shall have to learn to call you 'Majesty', or 'Your Grace', then... str_npc12_kingsupport_1|I am sure that you would make a fine {reg59?queen king}. I flatter myself that I am a good judge of character, and you have demonstrated a capacity for compassion that far exceeds that of these others who call themselves monarchs. str_npc13_kingsupport_1|That would be a fine thing, {reg59?my lady sir}! Many is the tale of the hero who has proven his worthiness to wear a crown through valor. Perhaps you know the song of Alaric the first, who rose from obscurity to become king of the Visigoths. A splendid tale! str_npc14_kingsupport_1|Well, sir, the heavens have instituted a hierarchy in this world, and normally I would have no truck with usurpation. But I also think that the kings of this land are a weak and sorry lot, not worthy of the name of king, and that leaves the crown free to be taken by a better {reg59?ruler man}, such as yourself. str_npc15_kingsupport_1|Well, you pay your men on time, when you can, generally speaking. That's the best qualification for kingship there is, in my book. You show some respect for the rights of others. str_npc16_kingsupport_1|Why not, captain? I'm sure you'd make a fine {reg59?queen king} -- and of course I'd hope you remember the little people like myself who did you a pretty turn on your scramble to the throne. str_npc1_kingsupport_2|Sure would, {reg59?my lady sir}. But let me tell you what might bring others to your cause -- particularly us now poorer folk. They tell us that in the old days, each new King who took the throne would issue a great amnesty for all but the worst prisoners in his dungeons, give people a second chance to make something of themselves -- like you gave me a second chance {reg59?my lady sir}. str_npc2_kingsupport_2|I would, {reg59?my lady my lord}. But I would strongly recommend that you re-institute an old Roman imperial tradition -- the council of lords and commons, drawn from both the nobles of the land and well-educated men of property, with the power to overrule any new taxes or other tyrannical measures that might tempt you. It would be for your own good, {reg59?my lady sir}. str_npc3_kingsupport_2| Most of the lords of this land -- well, let's just say that they never held a coin that they didn't collect as rent or take as pillage. You, on the other hand, have some experience of commerce and trade, of the effort and risk involved in making sure that men don't go hungry in Brittony while there's a glut of grain in Domonia, to give an example.... If you like, captain, I reckon I could find some support for you among the merchants and traders of this realm. str_npc4_kingsupport_2|Of course, {reg59?my lady captain}. The trick is now to get others to follow you. As you know, one's lineage is a great determinant of one's worthiness. Perhaps you have a long-lost ancestor of whom you have not told me? str_npc5_kingsupport_2|Ay, {playername}, I would. But there is something I should say, on behalf of the men of the Germanic valley such as myself. It would bring great joy to us, to hear from the lips of one who would be King, that you would restore an ancient right. From the days of the old emperors, the men of the valley have enjoyed the right to burn and pillage as we see fit. str_npc6_kingsupport_2|I would. I would tell anyone who listens of your deeds on behalf of the weak and helpless, of your ability to lead men against great odds and triumph, and tell them that if you were to become {reg59?Queen King}, there would be one law and one peace -- from the Pictish highlands to the Galerian straights, from the island of Hibernia to the Saxon shores. str_npc7_kingsupport_2|Yes, captain, I would. A {reg59?Queen King}'s duty is to keep the roads safe for decent folk, make it so a woman can gather the firewood or draw the water without being accosted by some drooling, scabby ape of an outlaw. Anyway, you've split the skulls of a number of such brutes in your time. Men would fear to even meet the eyes of a woman on the road, if you were {reg59?Queen King}. str_npc8_kingsupport_2|I would -- on one condition. You'd be {reg59?Queen King} in Briton or Gaul or wherever you want to rule, but I'd rule my own hall and be made Queen of Pictland. If I had a dispute with any other of your lords, be it over land, livestock, or blood, you'd let us settle it spear to spear, according to the old ways, and let the heavens decide who is in the right. str_npc9_kingsupport_2|I would, {reg59?madame sir}, and others would too. But here's what I think -- you need to show the noble lords that you'll uphold their ancient rights. Right now, both the Isles and Gaul are a mess -- the lord owns the land, except it's the king who owns the forest, but the city has the right to levy tax at its gates, and the commons can use the pastures on odd Tuesdays, except in Camelot when it's Wednesday. Who can remember? So I say you make things simple, like it was in the old days -- first the {reg59?sovereign king}, then the lords, then everyone else. str_npc10_kingsupport_2|Certainly, {reg59?Sister Brother}. But I'd ask that you consider a thought of mine. If you became {reg59?Queen King}, then I'd ask you open your court to the common folks, and not just to the lords and blue-bloods. I'd ask you to let it be known that should any man be judged and sentenced, that he have the right to appeal to you directly. Right now, the lords have the right -- I say every man in the Isles should have it, too. str_npc11_kingsupport_2|Of course, I would! Let me see your hand, there... Aha! You've got the 'Mark of Kings.' That's what we call it in my craft, anyway. I hear Angle witches saying it's the 'Emperor's Line,' but they call everything differently, over there. Anyway, yours is very long -- I'd say that it means that you're meant to rule! It's your destiny! In fact, I think I can even recall a prophecy to that effect. Hmm, how did it go... str_npc12_kingsupport_2|Of course, captain. But if I have learned anything in my travels in this land, it is that people are sticklers for precedent. Everything must be done as it was done in the days of the past -- even though not more than one in a hundred of them can read enough Latin to understand the chronicles! Frankish lords marry their daughters according to the 'imperial' rite. Roman cattle herders churn 'imperial' butter. And of course, every king must be crowned according to 'imperial' law. str_npc13_kingsupport_2|Of course, {reg59?my lady my lord}. Also, as we learn from the tale of Alaric, when claiming a throne, it does not hurt to be the subject of an epic, recited around campfires and hearthfires, describing one's deeds. As you no doubt know, I fancy myself a fair crafter of couplets. str_npc14_kingsupport_2|I would indeed, sir. I think you can unite this land, and then we'll be able to raise an army such as the Isles has never seen for generations -- and take it across the sea to subdue all the lands that the Roman emperors once held sway. str_npc15_kingsupport_2|I would. People might say that you don't have royal blood in your veins. But as far as I've seen, royal blood makes you a skinflint. Kings and nobles will take out loans or commission bard projects without half a thought to how they're ever going to pay back all those commoners who expect to eat after an honest day's work. If you ask me, an honest tongue makes a {reg59?women man} a {reg59?Queen King}, not a fancy pedigree. str_npc16_kingsupport_2|Of course, my {reg59?lady lord}. And what's more, I figure a girl like me could do you a bit of a service raising support with the lords of this land. I may have only had a small part in their schemes and intrigues over the years, but I think I know what they want. And given what I know of their secrets, they'd not want to be denying me admission to their halls, now would they? str_npc1_kingsupport_2a|Please go on... str_npc2_kingsupport_2a|Please continue... str_npc3_kingsupport_2a|Please continue... str_npc4_kingsupport_2a|Of course - let me tell you all about him. str_npc5_kingsupport_2a|Go on... str_npc6_kingsupport_2a|Splendid str_npc7_kingsupport_2a|Well, yes, I will try to keep order... str_npc8_kingsupport_2a|Fair enough str_npc9_kingsupport_2a|That seems sensible enough... str_npc10_kingsupport_2a|Of course - I would give my subjects that right str_npc11_kingsupport_2a|See if you can recall that prophesy. str_npc12_kingsupport_2a|Interesting. Please go on... str_npc13_kingsupport_2a|Why, yes, that you are. str_npc14_kingsupport_2a|Please go on... str_npc15_kingsupport_2a|Well-spoken, my good man str_npc16_kingsupport_2a|Interesting... Please continue str_npc1_kingsupport_2b|Well. We saw how that turned out... str_npc2_kingsupport_2b|I have no intention of hobbling myself in that way. str_npc3_kingsupport_2b|I do not ask for their support, as they would no doubt wish to make a profit on the transaction. str_npc4_kingsupport_2b|I will have no part of this str_npc5_kingsupport_2b|I said that I wished to be {reg59?Queen King}, not that I wished to allow senseless killing to continue str_npc6_kingsupport_2b|I'm not sure that I can quite deliver all that str_npc7_kingsupport_2b|I think you're maybe taking the idea of the king's peace a bit too far, there str_npc8_kingsupport_2b|That's a pretty tall condition str_npc9_kingsupport_2b|I'm not sure that implementing your idea would be as 'simple' as you think str_npc10_kingsupport_2b|Hmm. Let me think it over. str_npc11_kingsupport_2b|Ah... I'll have my hand back, please. str_npc12_kingsupport_2b|Enough, sir. I will not have you mock our traditions str_npc13_kingsupport_2b|Hmm. I'm not sure about that. str_npc14_kingsupport_2b|Actually, I was looking forward to a bit of rest after becoming {reg59?Queen King}... str_npc15_kingsupport_2b|{reg59?Queen King} of the Clerks, maybe, Enough of such talk str_npc16_kingsupport_2b|No offense, but I'm not sure that's the approach I'd take str_npc1_kingsupport_3|If I could go about this land for a few weeks, telling the common folk that you were going to amnesty their kinfolk like the kings of old -- well, they would start talking of you as the next {reg59?Queen King}, and that would pave your way to the throne. Shall I do that? str_npc2_kingsupport_3|If you were to make such a pledge, {reg59?madame sir}, I think that it would help many of the lords of this land overcome any reluctance that they might have. If your aim is to restore the old Roman system, then arguably you are a more legitimate ruler then any of these come-lately usurpers. Give me leave for several weeks, {reg59?madame sir}, and I will let it be known in the noble courts and merchant houses of this land that you intend to restore their ancient rights. str_npc3_kingsupport_3|If you like, captain, I can take a few weeks to visit the guildhalls and caravansaries where I knew my fathers contacts, and explain to them that, in you, they will have a {reg59?ruler king} who will check the rapacious nobles, who, with their tariffs and taxes, would strangle commerce for the sake of a few extra coins to spend on their wars and their feasts. What do you say to that, captain? str_npc4_kingsupport_3|Yes -- I think I have heard of him, In fact, I can envision his entire genealogy. If you give me leave, 'Majesty', I shall travel about the villages and castles of this realm over the next several weeks, spreading word of your royal birth. Of course, I would hope that you would remember your faithful subject, when it comes to distributing lands... str_npc5_kingsupport_3|Anyway, lord, in these sorry times to attack a village is considered war. It is a great burden on my people. If I could take a few weeks to let the men of the valley know that you would support the restoration of our ancient rights, well, then, I think you would find many who would support you as {reg59?Queen King}, And when men speak of you as such, that's the first step to becoming one. str_npc6_kingsupport_3|Very well. Although I am now a stranger to my family, I have entered many a noble's hall in your train, and I reckon I would be welcome again. I shall go about this land and tell the nobles that when you are {reg59?Queen King}, you will strive your hardest to protect the weak and to crush discord, so that no man will raise his hand against another with impunity, and one day, perhaps, the sin of fraticide will be no more. str_npc7_kingsupport_3|I'll tell you what, captain. Give me a few weeks and I'll go to some of these villages -- stinking hovels that they are, but I reckon I can take care of myself these days. I'll tell the people there that once you unify this land, you'll wipe it clean of banditry. You'll erect gallows along the roads and keep them well-stocked with broken-necked thieves, so that every passerby knows that the wages of indecency is death. str_npc8_kingsupport_3|Good! Then give me a few weeks and I'll go about the courts of this land, letting it be known that you're a {reg59?ruler king} who respects the Picts and their ancient rights. You won't go sticking your royal nose where it doesn't belong, and the Isles will be the better for it. str_npc9_kingsupport_3|It's perfectly sensible, {reg59?madame sir} -- and we'll be free of those cursed writs and merchant petitions and scrolls that take up all of my time and yours, when we should both be out fighting for the glory of your kingdom. Give me leave and I'll spread word among the noble lords of this land that you're here to restore the old ways, and I'll bet there will plenty who will follow you into battle. str_npc10_kingsupport_3|Well then, {reg59?Sister Brother}, give me leave for a few weeks and I can go about this land, letting the common folk know that you will rule justly and equitably, and that lord and common alike should be one before your law. Men will speak of you as {reg59?Queen King}, and that's a good start to becoming one... str_npc11_kingsupport_3|I can't recall now, but if you let me go back to my home, I could find an old greybeard who remembers it in full. And, I could put it around that you've got the mark of kings on your hand! That I've seen their future and it is brilliant! There's many where I come from who are waiting for a just ruler, and a person's hand can tell all that's worth knowing about them. Give me a few weeks, and I'll reckon I can have quite a few expecting you to be their next {reg59?Queen King}. str_npc12_kingsupport_3|But you know what? There was no 'imperial' law when it came to the crown. Sometimes one emperor handed the empire to his son. Sometimes he split it between his generals. Sometimes one emperor murdered the last. There's no right 'Roman' or Briton, or Frankish way to crown a monarch, and thus it makes sense that the crown should go to the one most fit to govern -- which would be you, naturally. Give me a couple of weeks, and I'll write a tract which proves it and find a copyist to post a version in every town tavern and church in the land. What do you say to that idea, captain? str_npc13_kingsupport_3|Then give me leave for a few weeks, oh gallant one, and I will spin such a tale as would stir even the dullest heart, inspiring admiration for your virtues, compassion for your hardships, and indignation at those who would stand in your way. I assume, of course, that I would be able to take a certain amount of poetic license with the details? str_npc14_kingsupport_3|Give me leave for a few weeks, {reg59?madame sir}, and I will let all the worthy men of this land know that you are the one to unite not just these Isles, but all the other Roman dominions. For according to my thinking, no one should be {reg59?king or queen king} here unless they have the capacity to rule the entirety of the realm -- and you alone have demonstrated such a capacity, {reg59?madam sir}. str_npc15_kingsupport_3|I'm glad you think so. Here's what I suggest. I know men of the bards here, men like me, who've been shafted and shaken down until they can take no more. Here's what I'll tell them -- you're honest. You respect the burghers. You'll pay your debts. You won't beggar your subjects. They will in turn write epic poems about you I'm sure and you will be song about in every town in the lands. str_npc16_kingsupport_3|Give me leave for a few weeks, and I'll do a little tour of my former employers' castles. I'll sing them a pretty song about what you'll do as {reg59?Queen King}, about all the ancient freedoms you'll restore -- let them rob their tenants and tax the merchants and fight their wars and spend themselves silly without a thought to tomorrow, as a noble ought! What do you say to that, captain? str_npc1_kingsupport_objection|{playername} -- you've given leave to Lamhcalad to go tell the nobles that they will have rights over pasture, market, AND forest? I can't say I like that. Give him his way, and he'll set up gibbets in every village in the land, where there will dangle some poor sod like me who is forced to pick up a bow, head to the woods and put a bit of meat on his table. str_npc2_kingsupport_objection|Um, captain. Matheld has ridden off to tell the lords of this land that you'll let them settle their quarrels by force and violence. You know they rarely actually fight each other, right? Most of the time, it's the traders and travellers on the roads between their castles that get clobbered in their petty disputes. Any excuse to shake down a caravan, they'll take. I really hope that he misunderstood you, sir. str_npc3_kingsupport_objection|Captain -- Deshavi has set off on some sort of expedition, which she says that you countenanced. She says that she will go about the villages of this land, telling the poor villagers that once you are {reg59?Queen King}, you intend to hang all thieves and bandits. {reg59?madame sir}, I am a merchant's daughter, and know well the scourge of banditry. I also know that Deshavi has suffered great wrongs. But surely you do not intend to hang men indiscriminately. There must be some place for mercy in your kingdom str_npc4_kingsupport_objection|Captain. Athanagild has set off on a journey, telling everyone you are the next Alaric? That's nonsense. Alaric was only famous for being the first to sack Rome, I doubt very much you're capable of this {reg59?lady sir}. str_npc5_kingsupport_objection|{playername} -- I overhead what you told Syagrius's. But I wonder -- if the lords who live from farming, and the merchants who earn from trade, are allowed to determine what taxes will be leveed, then who will be taxed? Those who live from raiding, of course -- my people, the people of the valley. I would have nothing to do with these councils, {playername} -- all free men should be one, under the King, and that is the end of it. str_npc6_kingsupport_objection|I understand that you have dispatched Gailar to fabricate a claim of royal descent. I have to tell you, {reg59?madame sir} -- I do not think that the heavens will smile on such an attempt to take the throne by fraud. str_npc7_kingsupport_objection|I have heard what you told Carannog, about giving every common criminal the right of appeal to the {reg59?queen king}. I do not approve. I respect that Carannog feels everyone has the ability to change, but bandits should be hanged when caught. Give them a trial or an appeal, and they will talk their way out of the noose. Carannog is a good man, but no man can fully understand what these wolves in human form do to women str_npc8_kingsupport_objection|Captain -- you have dispatched Firentis to tell the lords of this land that you intend to impose a peace, under which no one should settle their disputes by the spear. Would you have us all die in our beds, then? That is a great shame, for my people. A {reg59?sovereign king}'s duty is to lead us into battle, not to tell us how to handle our quarrels and differences. str_npc9_kingsupport_objection|{reg59?madame sir} -- it is with great regret that I have learned that you have told Sigibert to let his people raid other villages over the lands of their betters. I hope that I am mistaken about this, sir. A {reg59?Queen King} should be keeping the peace, not letting one province raid another. My {reg59?lady lord}, if your future kingdom is to be some nomads' paradise, then I for one do not look forward to it. str_npc10_kingsupport_objection|I hear that you've got Aneirin spinning poems to justify your ascent to the throne. I can't say I approve, {reg59?Sister Brother}. If men fight for a {reg59?sovereign king}, it should be because they know they're going to get something good out of it, not because they've taken a liking to a silly song. str_npc11_kingsupport_objection|I hear that Lezalit is off and about telling folks that you're going to make yourself {reg59?Queen King} and then lead an army over the ocean. Shall there be no end to these wars, {reg59?lassie laddie}? I was thinking that if you made yourself {reg59?Queen King}, then maybe you'd give us a bit of peace. But I guess the christian heavens have only brought more blood to be spilt, and more bones to be broken, and there's no getting round their decree. str_npc12_kingsupport_objection|Captain. I hear that you've gone and made Klethi, of all people, some sort of ambassador to the aristocracy. I shudder to think of what that amoral girl might be promising them on your behalf -- and dignifying all these gross indulgences by calling them 'ancient freedoms.' By doing this, you mock those of us who who had hoped that you would have helped these lands escape its bloody Pagan roots, and move towards a new age of peace and Christianity. Enough, I have said my peace. str_npc13_kingsupport_objection|Oh valiant one -- I hear that you have given leave to Aaron of Aleth to produce some testily-worded dissertation that undermines everything the people of this land hold dear, and accuses the old emperors of murder and usurpation. Captain -- I know as a poet that people must have heroes to emulate, and a golden age to restore. Will you create a kingdom in which cynics and scholars tell us what we must believe? I can think of nothing more dull. str_npc14_kingsupport_objection|I understand that you've sent your man Bunduk to proclaim to all people that you intend to free all the miscreants of this land upon your accession to the throne. What a foul idea... Men must be governed, {reg59?madame sir} -- with whips and chains and the noose, if necessary. You'll find that out the hard way if you become {reg59?Queen King}, I'll warrant. str_npc15_kingsupport_objection|I understand that you've given leave to Katrin to spread some nonsense about marks on your hands. I just want to say that, as an educated man, I find it disturbing that you would resort to old witch's superstitions to back your claim. Village women will believe one thing one day, another thing the next. Now a horoscope, properly cast by an astrologer at a royal university with a reputation to uphold, might tell you something worth knowing, but those have not been performed in the Isles for some time. str_npc16_kingsupport_objection|Oy -- Captain! I hear that Ymira has gone off to sing a pretty song to the merchants, on how you'll hand them the Isles on a silver platter for them to feast upon, smack their lips, and suck the marrow from the bones. I hope that's just a tale you're telling. A noble lord will at least toss a few coppers to the poor when he holds his feasts, and will make sure that the servants go home with full bellies. A merchant marries his daughter, and you'd be lucky to get a few crusts and scraps of gristle from the table. That's my experience, anyway. str_npc1_intel_mission|Well, as it happens, I have a few cousins over in {s17}, and unlike some in my family, they can still stand the sight of me. They are all noble -- and so they get to pick up a bit of the gossip round the castles and great halls of the {s18}. I could go over there for a few days and tell you what I find out. str_npc2_intel_mission|{reg59?my lady sir}, if you're interested in events in {s18}, I can still make contact with my old trading partners in {s17}. They're usually well-informed about political events. str_npc3_intel_mission|Captain, although I cannot return to my father's house in {s17}, I still may make contact with my sister. She will be privy to the councils of the great merchant houses, and may tell us much about the state of the {s18}. str_npc4_intel_mission|Captain, if you could spare me for a few days, I would like to look up an old comrade-in-arms in {s17}, who has from time to time led a small company in the pay of the {s18}. He is a good man, the kind who speaks little and listens much. I'm sure over a drink or two he might let us know which way the political winds are blowing in those parts. str_npc5_intel_mission|If you like, {playername}, I can take a few days to visit my mother's sister's people. They work in a caravanserie in {s17}, and hear the news from all across the {s18}. They may have some gossip about the feuds and rivaries of the great lords, if that is of interest to you. str_npc6_intel_mission|Captain -- while I am not strictly welcome in {s17}, I would be able to make contact with some former tenants of an estate of mine nearby. I granted them ownership after my abrupt departure, and they are now well-placed in society, and also less inclined than most to hold my crime against me. If you give me a few days, I may be able to collect some interesting information about the {s18}. str_npc7_intel_mission|Captain. When I left my former home in {s17}, I had promised myself that I would never return, except for the purposes of taking out vengeance on those who wronged me. Perhaps I was rash. I am occasionally curious as to how my family is getting along. Perhaps I can bring them some gifts, to let them know what I have made of myself! Any rate, they are wretched people, but just as a cringing dog keeps its ear to the wind, so do they. They may have useful information about the {s18}, if you would give me a few days to pay them a visit. str_npc8_intel_mission|If you have any interest in the events in the {s18}, a former shield-companion of mine retired and now keeps a farm near {s17}. He keeps in contact with a number of other old warriors. I could visit him for a few days, and learn more about what is going on there. str_npc9_intel_mission|{reg59?my lady sir} -- it has been some time since I sampled the delights of {s17}, where gentlefolk such as myself can partake in the hospitality of the most puissant and generous lord. If you wish, I could perhaps go there, and let you know something about the concerns that weigh on the minds of the great peers of the {s18}. str_npc10_intel_mission|Captain -- I was thinking that some of my old mates in the garrison at {s17} would be glad to see me. They are good lads, and would never betray the city, but like me they have no particular affection for the bluebloods that command them, and may be willing to slip a little political gossip our way. The gentry are always falling out over one little thing or the other, but the lads might be able to know if there's real dissent brewing. str_npc11_intel_mission|{reg59?lassie laddie} -- I was thinking that it's been a while since I visited my kinfolk in {s17}. They've been kind enough to me over the years, helping me out during the lean times, so I feel I'd like to share some of my newfound fortune with them. I've also worked enough magic enough times for them to trust me. I'd reckon they might be persuaded to spill a few tidbits about events in the {s18}, if that would interest you. str_npc12_intel_mission|If you wish, Captain, I would not mind taking the time to pay a visit the lord of {s17}. I had great hopes for him following his conversion, but I have heard that he has lately endorsed the use of Pagan holidays, on the grounds that people enjoy them! This is a travesty of spirituality, and I must journey there swiftly to correct him. While I am there, if you wish, I could question him on the latest trends within the {s18}, a matter which may interest you. str_npc13_intel_mission|Oh valiant one! With your permission, I was thinking that I might pay a visit to the dales near {s17}. I try not to revisit old pastures, but I must confess a certain curiosity as to how a comely shepherdess of my former acquaintance is getting along. On the way, I may attempt to stop in at the castle. I suspect that it would not be terribly difficult for me to charm my way into the lord's hall, and I may be able to provide you with the latest news from the {s18}. str_npc14_intel_mission|Captain... As you may know, my father is the lord of {s17}. One of my family there has lately been in touch with me, and suggests that if I were to visit him, he could pass me information on events within the {s18}. I am willing to do this, if you can spare me. While it is a great disgrace to be a traitor, there is no dishonor in making use of one. str_npc15_intel_mission|Captain. As you may know, I have for some time harbored a wish to go to {s17}, and study my skills -- one of the finest examples of the old Roman style. As it happens, one of my colleagues is currently engaged there doing work. While his sense of professional obligation I think would prevent him, rightfully, from disclosing to me any weaknesses in its defenses, I suspect that he would not be averse to offering up his opinion on the general state of the {s18}, if that is of interest to you. str_npc16_intel_mission|Oy, Captain! I had a mind to pay a visit to my old haunts at {s17}. I'm curious if the town is still under water, and I have cousins I care to know if they've drowned. Of course I see no need to trouble them by letting them know about my visit, but I could have a wee chat with my old friend the castle steward, who'll be letting me know about the goings-on in the {s18}. str_npc1_fief_acceptance|You'd make me lord of {s17}? Well, that would be the kindest thing that anyone has ever done for me in a long time. Heh. I'll make the most of it -- you can count on that. I have to say, though -- I't feels strange to be accepting lands to rule after being away from such things for so very long. str_npc2_fief_acceptance|{s17} as a fief? Well, I've always thought in terms of selling goods or preaching God's graces, not in terms of governing anything. But now that you mention it, I bet I could make that place turn a fair bit of revenue. I thank you, {reg59?my lady my lord} -- this is a very kind turn that you have done me. str_npc3_fief_acceptance|{reg59?my lady sire}, it is most generous of you to offer me {s17}. I would be pleased to hold it, and dedicate myself to the moral and material uplift of its inhabitants. str_npc4_fief_acceptance|It is good of you to grant me {s17} as a fief -- and most appropriate. Proud indeed is the king who has a lord of the House of Genseric as {reg59?her his} vassal. str_npc5_fief_acceptance|I would be most pleased to hold {s17}. I will send word to the valley, to my kinsmen, and let them know that there is honorable gold to be earned serving under me in your armies -- and they will come flocking to fight for you! str_npc6_fief_acceptance|{reg59?Lady Sir} -- I am surprised that you find me worthy to govern men, as I am just beginning to learn to govern myself. But if you indeed wish it, I would be most honored to hold {s17} in your name, and dedicate myself to the protection of those who live there. str_npc7_fief_acceptance|Aye, I'll hold {s17} -- and give it a reputation that strikes fear in the hearts of thieves and brigands across the Isles. Thank you, {reg59?madame sir}, for this opportunity. str_npc8_fief_acceptance|You'd make me a Tighearna? Well, I suppose that I can postpone reclaiming my inheritance for a little while longer, and make my great hall at {s17}. Some day, I may march north and take back what is mine, but until then, I would be pleased to raise a band of battle-hardened Picts to fight under your banner. str_npc9_fief_acceptance|{reg59?my lady sire}, I was cheated of my inheritance -- but now, with this offer of this estate, you make right what was wrong. It would give me the greatest honor to serve you, to fight for you, and to hold this land in fief to you. str_npc10_fief_acceptance|You'd make me a lord? Well, no thank you -- but if you would call me 'tribune' -- the tribunes being the people's servants in the old times -- then I suppose I could bring myself to run {s17} for you. I'd put food in the bellies of the hungry, and raise a fine force of Briton foot to fight on your behalf, {reg59?Sister Brother}. But I can't promise that the real blue-bloods will enjoy rubbing shoulders with me in your councils. str_npc11_fief_acceptance|Ay! You'd grant old Katrin a title of nobility? Well, I'd be daft to turn you down, now wouldn't I? My, the strange turns that life takes... Fancy this old bag of bones becoming a great peer of the realm. str_npc12_fief_acceptance|Well, {reg59?my lady sire}, I'd have you know that don't believe in the holding of land in fief to the king. Farmers and landholders should govern their own affairs, under the distant watch of the church. That being said, the Isles has seen far too much bloodshed for us to turn the social order on its head right now. Give me that land, and I'll build a great monestary for all to benefit -- if not in this world, than perhaps in the next. str_npc13_fief_acceptance|How generous and kind of you, {reg59?my lady sire}. Allow me to express the utmost reverence for your wisdom in selecting me. Truly, your perspicacity exceeds that of King Alaric, who could read the character of a man from a single hair of his head. Your judgment surpasses that of the Roman Emperors, to whom even the jinns submitted their disputes. Anyway, I accept. str_npc14_fief_acceptance|You do me a great honor, captain. In Uí Néill, a youngest son such as myself has few opportunities to earn a fief of his own. But here, in Briton, there is still the chance for a man to win with his sword what was denied him by his birth! I shall hold {s17} as your vassal, and raise an army to fight for your glory and for mine. str_npc15_fief_acceptance|Well, {reg59?my lady sir}, that's a gracious act, and marks you as the kind of monarch who can save this sorry land from the incompetence of the current batch. I suspect a lot of the noble lords around here will think that a commoner like me isn't fit to hold a fief. Well, when they see what I do with it, and what revenues I can bring in, they'll change their tune! str_npc16_fief_acceptance|Oh, that's most generous of you, {reg59?my lady sire}. I've been in and out of many a great hall or manor -- not always with the master's permission, I should add -- but I never thought I'd own one myself. Let me think... When I collect my first year's rents, what baubles shall I buy myself? str_npc3_woman_to_woman|My lady, if you don't mind me saying -- I think by now you have proven yourself to be one of the great warriors of this realm. Yet strangely, no king has come forward to offer you a fief. Perhaps it is because you are a woman. No matter -- I personally believe that you will take your place among the great lords of this realm, even if you have to fight twice as long and twice as hard to receive your due! str_npc7_woman_to_woman|Captain. If you don't mind me saying, you have fought long and hard against the scum of these Isles, and with their defeat, you make this land a better place. You are well deserving of a fief of your own -- and I suspect that if you were not a woman, a king would have offered you one by now. That is the way of the men in this sorry land they let us stand in the front of the battleline to take the enemy's blows, but when it comes to a division of the spoils, they expect us to head to the rear. str_npc8_woman_to_woman|Excuse me, {playername}. I would like to offer you my congratulations -- it seems that you are well on your way to making a name for yourself as a warrior to be feared. If you were a man, I suspect the kings of this land would be falling over themselves to make you their vassal. Alas, in this world, women like ourselves must fight twice as hard to receive what is only our due. str_npc11_woman_to_woman|Aye, lassie, I just can't help thinking to myself -- you've made quite a name for yourself, haven't you? Fighting and marching up and down the length of the land. Why, I suspect if you were a man, some king would have offered you a fief by now. Well, you may still get what you deserve -- you'll just have to prove yourself a bit more. str_npc16_woman_to_woman|Oy, Captain -- if you don't mind me saying, you've made quite a name for yourself in these parts. I suspect that if you were a man, a king would have offered you a fief by now. But we ladies should come to expect things like that. Men will find any excuse not to reward us for our work, so if we take a fancy to a bit of land somewhere, maybe we should just reach out and take it. That's the way I look at the world, anyway. str_npc1_turn_against|I'm sorry that we meet like this, {playername}. There's no question that I owe my rise in life to you. You doubtless think me ungrateful. However, one has to follow one's destiny -- and it has led me here. str_npc2_turn_against|This is a sad day. I never thought that I might meet my old captain on the field of battle. Even if I triumph, it will bring me no joy. str_npc3_turn_against|Oh {playername} -- what a tragic turn our lives have taken! I can only hope that the tides of war that have made us enemies, will one day allow us to be friends. str_npc4_turn_against|Aye, well.... I'm not sure what to say. If we must fight, let's get it over with. str_npc5_turn_against|{playername}! I took your salt, and was well rewarded for it! However, I will remind you of an old truth -- that while a Frank may be an ardent follower, and a devoted friend, he will never be your slave.... Anyway, today I come against you with my sword raised. But I hope that one day we raise a glass together, to a friendship renewed. str_npc6_turn_against|It grieves me more than anything I can say to meet you like this, {playername}. I shall not dwell on the circumstances that have led us to this point. I can only hope that we may one day be reconciled. str_npc7_turn_against|Well, captain. You made of me a great lady, and for that I am grateful. However, you did not buy me, and now the circumstances have caused us our interests to clash, I can meet you in battle with a clear conscience. Still, I hope some day that circumstances may change again, and we may meet as friends. str_npc8_turn_against|So now we meet as enemies, and may shortly face each other over the rims of our shields. A grim day this is. Sometimes, the spinners of our fate have a dark sense of humor. str_npc9_turn_against|I will not accept fault for the circumstances which have led us to become enemies. I want you to know that my conscience is clear, although my heart is heavy. str_npc10_turn_against|Well, it looks like the tides of fate have led me to make war on my old captain. Maybe things started to go wrong when you became my liege -- I suppose I was never much suited to vassalage. Anyway, here we are now. Maybe, when the world is changed and there are no more masters and servants, or lords and vassals, then we can meet together as friends. str_npc11_turn_against|Great heaven, {reg59?lassie laddie}. So now it looks like you and I are enemies. Didn't I say that life takes us on some very strange turns? Destiny sometimes has a cruel sense of humor -- I'll say that much. str_npc12_turn_against|So, it seems we must fight. I would have you know, {reg59?my lady sir}, that I have not betrayed you. I had never served you as a {reg59?lady lord}, but served the principles which I believed you upheld. As you no longer uphold them, I must do my best to thwart you. But I bear you no ill will, and I hope that we can meet again in the kingdom of heaven str_npc13_turn_against|It is sad to meet you as my enemy, {reg59?my lady sir} -- but on the other hand, to meet such a titan of the battlefield as yourself in combat is a rare privilege. Truly, the news of our contest today shall keep the bards and poets of both Engeland Gaul in wine and silver for months to come! str_npc14_turn_against|Well, {playername}. We meet as enemies. I confess that I have mixed feelings. It grieves me to make war on you, but if we meet in battle and I prevail, I will have defeated the worthiest foe in all these lands, and I will know that my mastery of the military art is complete! str_npc15_turn_against|Ah... I have not been looking forward to this day. I just want to say that in my sight, if you'd kept your faith in me, things would never have come to this. But no doubt you see it differently. str_npc16_turn_against|Hello, Captain! So, I guess we're enemies! One small word of warning if we end up fighting each other -- once the rage of battle hits me, I can't always account for my actions. Just know that whatever I do, it's not personal. Maybe if we both walk away from this, we can meet once more as friends? str_comment_intro_liege_affiliated|I am told that you are pledged to one of the pretenders who disputes my claim to the crown. But we may still talk. str_comment_intro_famous_liege|Your fame runs before you! Perhaps it is time that you sought a liege worthy of your valor. str_comment_intro_famous_martial|Your fame runs before you! Perhaps we shall test each other's valor in a tournament, or on the battlefield! str_comment_intro_famous_badtempered|I've heard of you. Well, I'm not one for bandying words, so if you have anything to say, out with it. str_comment_intro_famous_pitiless|I know your name. It strikes fear in men's hearts. That is good. Perhaps we should speak together, some time. str_comment_intro_famous_cunning|Ah, yes. At last we meet. You sound like a good {reg59?women man} to know. Let us speak together, from time to time. str_comment_intro_famous_sadistic|I know your name -- and from what I hear, I'll warrant that many a grieving widow knows too. But that is no concern of mine. str_comment_intro_famous_goodnatured|I've heard of you! It's very good to finally make your acquaintance. str_comment_intro_famous_upstanding|I know your name. They say you are a most valiant warrior. I can only hope that your honour and mercy matches your valor. str_comment_intro_noble_liege|I see that you carry a {reg59?noble's nobleman's} standard, although I do not recognize the device. Know that I am always looking for good {reg59?warriors men} to fight for me, once they prove themselves to be worthy of my trust. str_comment_intro_noble_martial|I see that you carry a nobleman's standard, but I do not recognize the device. No matter -- a brave {reg59?warrior's man's} home is all the world, or so they say! str_comment_intro_noble_badtempered|I don't recognize the device on your standard. No doubt another foreigner come to our lands, as if we didn't have so many here already. str_comment_intro_noble_pitiless|I see that you carry a nobleman's standard, but I do not recognize the device. Another vulture come to grow fat on the leftovers of war, no doubt! str_comment_intro_noble_cunning|I see that you carry a nobleman's standard, but I do not recognize the device. Still, it is always worthwhile to make the acquaintance of {reg59?women man} who may one day prove themselves to be great warriors. str_comment_intro_noble_sadistic|I see that you carry a nobleman's standard, but I do not recognize the device. Perhaps you are the bastard {reg59?daughter son} of a puffed-up cattle thief? Or perhaps you stole it? str_comment_intro_noble_goodnatured|I see that you carry a nobleman's standard, but I do not recognize the device. Forgive my ignorance, {reg59?my lady sir}! It is good to make your acquaintance. str_comment_intro_noble_upstanding|I see that you carry a nobleman's standard, but I do not recognize the device. No doubt you have come to these lands in search of wealth and glory. If this indeed is the case, then I only ask that you show mercy to those poor souls caught in the path of war. str_comment_intro_common_liege|You may be of common birth, but know that I am always looking for good men to fight for me, if they can prove themselves to be worthy of my trust. str_comment_intro_common_martial|Perhaps you are not of gentle birth, but even a commoner, be {reg59?she he} of sufficient valor, may make something of {reg59?herself himself} some day. str_comment_intro_common_badtempered|Speak quickly, if you have anything to say, for I have no time to be bandying words with common soldiers of fortune. str_comment_intro_common_pitiless|You have the look of a mercenary, another vulture come to grow fat on the misery of this land. str_comment_intro_common_cunning|Well... I have not heard of you, but you have the look of a {reg59?women man} who might make something of {reg59?herself himself}, some day. str_comment_intro_common_sadistic|Normally I cut the throats of impudent commoners who barge into my presence uninvited, but I am in a good mood today. str_comment_intro_common_goodnatured|Well, you look like a good enough sort. str_comment_intro_common_upstanding|Peace to you, and always remember to temper your valor with mercy, your courage with honour. str_comment_intro_female_famous_liege|I have heard much about you. Some may fear a {reg59?women man} who is versed in the art of war, but I for one will not turn away hands that can grip a sword, should their owner be brave and loyal. str_comment_intro_female_famous_martial|I have heard much about you. They say that you are the equal of even the bravest of warriors in your prowess at arms. Perhaps one day I shall try my valor against yours, either in a tournament or on the battlefield! str_comment_intro_female_famous_badtempered|I've heard of talk of you -- the {reg59?women man} who knows how to fight like a {reg59?man women}. str_comment_intro_female_famous_pitiless|I know your name. It strikes fear in men's hearts. That is good. Perhaps we should speak together, some time. str_comment_intro_female_famous_cunning|Ah, yes. At last we meet.

Let us speak together, from time to time. str_comment_intro_female_famous_sadistic|I know your name -- and from what I hear, I'll warrant that many a grieving widow knows too.

I can only hope that your honour and mercy matches your valor. str_comment_intro_female_noble_liege|It is not often that I meet a woman who aspires to lead men into battle. But these are dark and troubled times, and I for one will not turn away hands that can grip a sword, should their owner be brave and loyal. str_comment_intro_female_noble_martial|I do not recognize the device on your banner, but clearly you are a {reg59?lady boy} of rank. Please consider me your most humble servant. str_comment_intro_female_noble_badtempered|I don't recognize the device on that banner. Clearly another foreigner come to our lands, bringing their strange ways. str_comment_intro_female_noble_pitiless|I see that you carry a noble's banner, but I do not recognize the device... You should know, {reg59?girl boy}, that in these lands it is the {reg65?women men} who ride to war, and if you seek to overturn the natural order of things, you will find your fair head stuck on a pike -- like that of any other rebel! str_comment_intro_female_noble_cunning|It is not unheard-of for a {reg59?woman man} to seek {reg59?her his} fortune on the battlefields, but neither is it usual. I shall be most interested in your progress. str_comment_intro_female_noble_sadistic|You appear to be of noble rank, but I don't recognize your banner. Clearly, another foreigner come to our shores -- no doubt from a land where men are weak, and the women ride to war in their place! str_comment_intro_female_noble_goodnatured|I see that you carry a {reg59?noblewoman nobleman}'s banner, but I do not recognize the device. Forgive my ignorance, {reg59?my lady dear boy}! It is good to make your acquaintance. str_comment_intro_female_noble_upstanding|It is not every day that we see a {reg59?woman man} caparisoned for war. Please do not take this amiss, {reg59?my lady dear boy}, for you have every right to protect yourself, but I cannot pretend to be fully comfortable with your decision to fight in battle. I would prefer that {reg59?women boys} be untouched by these wars, and sharing my bed. str_comment_intro_female_admiring_liege|It is not often that I meet a {reg59?fellow woman man} who aspires to lead men into battle. But these are dark and troubled times, and I for one will not turn away hands that can grip a sword, should their owner be brave and loyal. str_comment_intro_female_admiring_martial|Greetings, {reg59?my lady dear boy}. Although I see from your demeanor that you are not a conventional {reg59?maiden boy}, I hope that you are not averse to a declaration of admiration from me, your most humble servant. str_comment_intro_female_badtempered_admiring|Heh. Fancy this -- a {reg59?fellow maiden pretty boy}, all equipped for war. Well, it's a strange sight, but in your case, I can imagine that it might grow on me. str_comment_intro_female_pitiless_admiring|It is unusual to see a {reg59?fellow woman boy as pretty as you} girt for war. Be careful, {reg59?my lady dear boy} -- it is a harsh world, and it would be a shame to see such beauty marred by a sword-blow. str_comment_intro_female_cunning_admiring|Greetings, {reg59?my lady dear boy}. Please do not think it forward, if I say that it is unusual to see a {reg59?woman boy} caparisoned for war. I hope that one day I may be the {reg65?mother father} of a daughter possessed of such bravery and spirit. str_comment_intro_female_sadistic_admiring|What have we here! A {reg59?woman pretty boy}, caparisoned for war! Well, I dare say that one as fair as you could lend a touch of {reg59?femininity delicacy} even to a mail hauberk. str_comment_intro_female_admiring_goodnatured|{reg59?my lady dear boy}, if you are skilled as arms as you are fair in countenance, then your enemies should indeed fear you! str_comment_intro_female_admiring_upstanding|Greetings, {reg59?my lady dear boy}. Even with the dust of the march upon your clothes and gear, I can see that you are not lacking in the graces of your noble sex. str_comment_intro_female_common_liege|It is not often that I meet a woman who aspires to lead men into battle.

I pray that this is not true, for such conduct does dishonour to us all. str_comment_you_ran_from_foe_allied_upstanding|They say that you fled from {s54}, leaving your men behind. I do not always believe such rumors, and I also know that desperate straits call for desperate measures. But I beg you to take more care of your good name, for men will not fight in our armies if they hear that we abandon them on the field of battle. str_comment_you_ran_from_foe_allied_spiteful|By the way, they said that you ran away from {s54} like a quaking little rabbit, leaving your men behind to be butchered.

I sincerely hope that they have been acting without your orders. str_comment_lord_intervened_against_me|It is well known that I had quarreled with {s54}, and {s50} ruled in my rival's favor. str_comment_i_protested_marshall_appointment|It is well known that I had protested {s54}'s decision to appoint {s51} as marshal. str_comment_i_blamed_defeat|It is well known that I am dissatisfied with {s54} for the favor shown to {s51}, who led us to defeat against the {s56}. str_comment_i_was_entitled_to_fief|It is well known that I am disappointed that {s54} received the fief of {s51}, which should have gone to me. str_comment_i_quarreled_with_troop_over_woman|It is well known that {s51} paid suit to {s54}, while I was also courting her. He is unworthy of her attentions, and I intend to teach him to keep his distance from her. str_comment_i_quarreled_with_you_over_woman_default|I hear that you have been paying suit to {s54}. I do not believe that you are worthy of a fair lady such as her, and would strongly encourage you to cease pursuing her. str_comment_i_quarreled_with_you_over_woman_derisive|I hear that you have been paying suit to {s54}. Let me tell you something -- I've had my eye on that one ever since I was a lad, and she was a lass. She's a high-born lady of this realm, and should not be demeaned by a foreigner's crude attentions. Keep away from her, or expect to pay the price! str_comment_player_suggestion_succeeded|I followed your suggestion, and profited much by your advice. str_comment_player_suggestion_failed|I followed your suggestion and met with disaster, and I hold you responsible. str_comment_you_enfiefed_a_commoner_hesitant|I understand that {reg4?you, or your {s6} you} have given {s51} to a commoner who calls himself {s54}. Be careful. To learn the art of governance is no easy task, and perhaps it is best that fathers pass it on to their sons. I advise you against tampering with the institution of lordship. str_comment_you_enfiefed_a_commoner_derisive|I understand that {reg4?you, or your {s6} you} have given {s51} to a commoner who calls himself {s54}. Do not the ancients warn us against making royal robes out of the hides of pigs? str_comment_you_enfiefed_a_commoner_nasty|I understand that {reg4?you, or your {s6} you} have given {s51} to a commoner who has taken the name of {s54}. Have a care! A dog may turn on its master. str_comment_marriage_normal_family|Congratulations on your marriage to my {s11} {s50}. You may now consider yourself part of the family! str_comment_marriage_normal|Congratulations on your marriage to {s50}. The news does credit to you both. str_comment_marriage_normal_nasty|Well -- I see that you have married {s50}. She was always a silly girl, with appalling judgment. str_comment_marriage_elopement_family|Well... You somehow persuaded my {s11} {s50} to marry you. I don't know what you did to make her accept you, but our family will not forget this humiliation. str_comment_marriage_elopement_liege|I hear that you have eloped with {s50}, against her family's wishes. I am not pleased. Her family are among the great lords of my realm, and I do not like to see them made to look like fools. str_comment_you_broke_truce_as_my_vassal|I hear that you have broken my truce by attacking {s55}. Do you know how this makes me look? If you were acting under my orders, I appear dishonorable. If you were not, I look weak. I have half a mind to indict you for treason here and now. str_comment_you_attacked_neutral_as_my_vassal|I hear that you have attacked subjects of the {s55}. You have given them an excuse to attack me, if they want... We shall see what comes of this. A fine day's work you have done! str_personality_archetypes|liege str_martial|martial str_quarrelsome|bad-tempered str_selfrighteous|pitiless str_cunning|cunning str_debauched|sadistic str_goodnatured|good-natured str_upstanding|upstanding str_roguish|roguish str_benevolent|benevolent str_mercantile|mercantile str_surrender_demand_default|Yield or die! str_surrender_demand_martial|The odds are not in your favor today. You may fight us, but there is also no shame if you yield now. str_surrender_demand_quarrelsome|I've got you cornered. Give up, or I'll ride you down like a dog. str_surrender_demand_pitiless|You cannot defeat me, and I'll teach you a painful lesson if you try. Yield! str_surrender_demand_cunning|You are outmatched today. Give up -- if not for your own sake, then think of your men! str_surrender_demand_sadistic|Surrender or I'll gut you like a fish! str_surrender_demand_goodnatured|We have the advantage of you. Yield, and you will be well-treated. str_surrender_demand_upstanding|You may fight us, but many of your men will be killed, and you will probably lose. Yield, and spare us both the unnecessary bloodshed. str_surrender_offer_default|Stop! I yield! str_surrender_offer_martial|Stop! I yield! str_surrender_offer_quarrelsome|Enough! You win today, you dog! Ach, the shame of it! str_surrender_offer_pitiless|I yield! You have won. Cursed be this day! str_surrender_offer_cunning|Stop! I yield to you! str_surrender_offer_sadistic|I give up! I give up! Call back your dogs! str_surrender_offer_goodnatured|I yield! Congratulations on your victory, {reg59?madame sir}! str_surrender_offer_upstanding|I yield! Grant me the honours of war, and do yourself credit! str_lord_declines_negotiation_offer_default|That may be, but I wish to fight with you str_lord_declines_negotiation_offer_martial|That may be, but it is my duty to fight with you str_lord_declines_negotiation_offer_quarrelsome|Hah! I want to fight with you str_lord_declines_negotiation_offer_pitiless|Why should I care? I wish to fight with you str_lord_declines_negotiation_offer_cunning|Ah. Unfortunately, you see, I wish to fight with you str_lord_declines_negotiation_offer_sadistic|Still your tongue! You will have need of it shortly, while begging for mercy str_lord_declines_negotiation_offer_goodnatured|I'm sorry -- I can't just let you ride away. No hard feelings? str_lord_declines_negotiation_offer_upstanding|That may be, but my duty to my liege requires me to fight with you str_prisoner_released_default|You have my gratitude, {reg59?madame sir}. I shall not forget your kindness. str_prisoner_released_martial|You are indeed a {reg59?women man} of honour, {reg59?madame sir}. I shall not forget this! str_prisoner_released_quarrelsome|I'm free? Well... Good bye, then. str_prisoner_released_pitiless|Thank you. When you are finally defeated, I will request for your death to be swift and merciful. Unless, that is, you care to join us... Good bye, for now. str_prisoner_released_cunning|Am I? You are a good {reg59?women man}. I will try to find a way to repay you. str_prisoner_released_sadistic|Am I? So refined is your cruelty, that you would rather see me free and humiliated, than in chains. Enjoy your triumph! str_prisoner_released_goodnatured|You are indeed a {reg59?women man} of honour, {reg59?madame sir}. I shall not forget this! str_prisoner_released_upstanding|You are indeed a {reg59?women man} of honour, {reg59?madame sir}. I shall not forget this! str_enemy_meet_default|Who are you, that comes in arms against me? str_enemy_meet_martial|What is your name, {reg59?madame sir}? If we come to blows, I would know whom I fight. str_enemy_meet_quarrelsome|Who the hell are you? str_enemy_meet_pitiless|Who are you? Speak, so that I may know whom I slay. str_enemy_meet_cunning|Tell me your name. It is always good to know your enemy. str_enemy_meet_sadistic|Who are you? Speak quick, before I cut your tongue out. str_enemy_meet_goodnatured|What is your name, {reg59?madame sir}? If we come to blows, I would know whom I fight. str_enemy_meet_upstanding|Who are you, who would come in arms to dispute our righteous cause? str_battle_won_default|You have proven yourself a most valued ally, today. str_battle_won_martial|There is no greater fortune than the chance to show one's valor on the field of arms! str_battle_won_quarrelsome|Hah! We showed those bastards a thing or two, there, didn't we? str_battle_won_pitiless|Together, we will make the foe learn to fear our names, and to quail at our coming! str_battle_won_cunning|Now, we must be sure to press our advantage, so that the blood shed today is not wasted. str_battle_won_sadistic|Now let us strip their dead and leave them for the crows, so that all will know the fate of those who come against us. str_battle_won_goodnatured|That was a good scrap! No joy like the joy of victory, eh? str_battle_won_upstanding|Now, let us give thanks to the {reg4?gods heavens} for our victory, and mourn the many fine men who have fallen today. str_battle_won_grudging_default|You helped turn the tide on the field, today. Whatever I may think of you, I cannot fault you for your valor. str_battle_won_grudging_martial|{playername} -- you have shown yourself a worthy {reg59?women man} today, whatever your misdeeds in the past. str_battle_won_grudging_quarrelsome|Hmf. Yours is not a face which I normally like to see, but I suppose today I should thank you for your help. str_battle_won_grudging_pitiless|Your help was most valuable today. I would not imagine that you came to help me out of kindness, but I nonetheless thank you. str_battle_won_grudging_cunning|It would be unwise of me not to thank you for coming to help me in my hour of need. So... You have my gratitude. str_battle_won_grudging_sadistic|Well! How touching! {playername} has come to rescue me. str_battle_won_grudging_goodnatured|{playername}! I can't say that we've always gotten along in the past, but you fought well today. My thanks to you! str_battle_won_grudging_upstanding|Perhaps I was wrong about you. Your arrival was most timely. You have my gratitude. str_battle_won_unfriendly_default|So you're here. Well, better late than never, I suppose. str_battle_won_unfriendly_martial|We have hard harsh words in the past, but for now let us simply enjoy our victory. str_battle_won_unfriendly_quarrelsome|If you're standing there waiting for thanks, you can keep waiting. Your help wasn't really needed, but I guess you had nothing better to do, right? str_battle_won_unfriendly_pitiless|You have come here, like a jackal to a lion's kill. Very well then, help yourself to the spoils. I shall not stop you. str_battle_won_unfriendly_cunning|{playername}... Well, I suppose your arrival didn't hurt, although I won't pretend that I'm happy to see you. str_battle_won_unfriendly_sadistic|Back off, carrion fowl! This was my victory, however hard you try to steal the glory for yourself. str_battle_won_unfriendly_goodnatured|Oh, it's you. Well, I suppose I should thank you for your help. str_battle_won_unfriendly_upstanding|Thank you for coming to my support. Now I will be off, before I say something that I regret. str_troop_train_request_default|I need someone like you to knock them into shape. str_troop_train_request_martial|They need someone to show them the meaning of valor. str_troop_train_request_quarrelsome|Fat lazy bastards. They make me puke. str_troop_train_request_pitiless|They are more afraid of the enemy than they are of me, and this will not do. str_troop_train_request_cunning|But men, like swords, are tempered and hardened by fire. str_troop_train_request_sadistic|They need someone with steel in his back to flog some courage into them, or kill them trying. str_troop_train_request_goodnatured|They're good enough lads, but I am afraid that they are not quite ready for a battle just yet. str_troop_train_request_upstanding|It would be tantamount to murder for me to lead them into combat in their current state. str_unprovoked_attack_default|What? Why do you attack us? Speak, you rascal! str_unprovoked_attack_martial|I have no objection to a trial of arms, but I would ask you for what reason you attack us? str_unprovoked_attack_quarrelsome|You're making a big mistake, {reg59?girl boy}. What do you think you're doing? str_unprovoked_attack_pitiless|Indeed? If you really want to die today, I'd be more than happy to oblige you, but I am curious as to what you hope to accomplish. str_unprovoked_attack_cunning|Really? I think that you are acting most unwisely. What do you hope to gain by this? str_unprovoked_attack_sadistic|What's this? Do you enjoy having your eyes put out? str_unprovoked_attack_goodnatured|Why do you do this? We've got no quarrel, {reg59?madame sir}. str_unprovoked_attack_upstanding|I consider this an unprovoked assault, and will protest to your king. Why do you do this? str_unnecessary_attack_default|I will not hesitate to cut you down if pressed, but I will offer you the chance to ride away from this. str_unnecessary_attack_martial|I am eager to take you up on your challenge, {reg59?madame sir}, although I will give you a minute to reconsider. str_unnecessary_attack_quarrelsome|Bah! I'm in no mood for this nonsense today. Get out of my way. str_unnecessary_attack_pitiless|I am in a merciful mood today. I will pretend that I did not hear you. str_unnecessary_attack_cunning|I don't see what you have to gain by making an enemy of me. Maybe you should just ride away. str_unnecessary_attack_sadistic|I have no time to waste on a worm like you. Get out of my way. str_unnecessary_attack_goodnatured|I don't see what you have to gain by picking a fight, {reg59?madame sir}. You can still ride away. str_unnecessary_attack_upstanding|If a fight is what you wish, {reg59?madame sir}, then you will have one, but I will yet offer you the chance to back down. str_lord_challenged_default|As you wish. Prepare to die! str_lord_challenged_martial|So be it. Defend yourself! str_lord_challenged_quarrelsome|You impudent whelp! I'll crush you! str_lord_challenged_pitiless|If you so badly wish to die, then I have no choice but to oblige you. str_lord_challenged_cunning|Well, you leave me no choice but to stab at thee... str_lord_challenged_sadistic|You heap of filth! I'll make you wish you'd never been born. str_lord_challenged_goodnatured|Very well. I had hoped that we might avoid coming to blows, but I see that I have no choice. str_lord_challenged_upstanding|So be it. It saddens me that you cannot be made to see reason. str_lord_mission_failed_default|Well, I am disappointed, but I am sure that you will have many chances to redeem yourself. str_lord_mission_failed_martial|There is no honour in failing a quest which you endeavoured to take, but I will accept your word on it. str_lord_mission_failed_quarrelsome|You failed? Bah. I should have expected as much from the likes of you. str_lord_mission_failed_pitiless|You failed? Well. You disappoint me. That is a most unwise thing to do. str_lord_mission_failed_cunning|Well, I am disappointed, but no one can guarantee that the winds of fortune will always blow their way. str_lord_mission_failed_sadistic|Indeed? Those who fail me do not always live to regret it. str_lord_mission_failed_goodnatured|Oh well. It was a long shot, anyway. Thank you for making an effort. str_lord_mission_failed_upstanding|Very well. I am sure that you gave it your best effort. str_lord_follow_refusal_default|Follow you? You forget your station, {reg59?madame sir}. str_lord_follow_refusal_martial|Perhaps if you one day prove yourself a valorous and honourable warrior, then I would follow you. But not today. str_lord_follow_refusal_quarrelsome|Follow someone like you? I don't think so. str_lord_follow_refusal_pitiless|Lords like me do not follow people like you, {reg59?madame sir}. str_lord_follow_refusal_cunning|First show me that you are the type of {reg59?women man} who will not lead me into disaster, and then perhaps I will follow you. str_lord_follow_refusal_sadistic|I think not! Rather, you should follow me, as a whipped cur follows {reg59?her his} master. str_lord_follow_refusal_goodnatured|Um, I am a bit pressed with errands right now. Perhaps at a later date. str_lord_follow_refusal_upstanding|First show me that you are worthy to lead, and then perhaps I will follow. str_lord_insult_default|base varlot str_lord_insult_martial|dishonourable knave str_lord_insult_quarrelsome|filth-swilling bastard str_lord_insult_pitiless|low-born worm str_lord_insult_cunning|careless oaf str_lord_insult_sadistic|sniveling cur str_lord_insult_goodnatured|unpleasant fellow str_lord_insult_upstanding|disgraceful scoundrel str_lord_derogatory_default|base and vile str_lord_derogatory_martial|bullheaded str_lord_derogatory_quarrelsome|quarrelsome and divisive str_lord_derogatory_pitiless|cruel, and tyrannical str_lord_derogatory_cunning|unscrupulous and manipulative str_lord_derogatory_sadistic|vile and dishonorable str_lord_derogatory_goodnatured|hopelessly naive str_lord_derogatory_upstanding|stiffnecked and sanctimonious str_lord_derogatory_result|bring us to ruin str_lord_derogatory_martial_action|attack the enemy without thought or plan, and throw away the lives of your men str_lord_derogatory_quarrelsome_action|pick fights with other lords, leaving us divided and weak str_lord_derogatory_pitiles_action|alienate the commons, provoking revolt and mutiny str_lord_derogatory_cunning_action|cut a deal with the enemy behind our back str_lord_derogatory_sadistic_action|bring shame upon our cause and our realm str_lord_derogatory_goodnatured_action|take pity on our enemies, rather than fight them str_lord_derogatory_upstanding_action|place your own exaggerated sense of honor above the needs of the realm str_rebellion_dilemma_martial|{s45} was clearly wronged. Although I gave an oath to {s46}, it does not bind me to support him if he usurped his throne illegally. str_rebellion_dilemma_quarrelsome|Hmm. {s46} has never given me my due, so I don't figure I owe him much. However, maybe {s45} will be no better, and {s46} has at least shown himself . str_rebellion_dilemma_pitiless|Hmm. {s45} says {reg3?she he} is the rightful heir to the throne. That is good -- it absolves me of my oath to {s46}. But still I must weight my decision carefully. str_rebellion_dilemma_cunning|Hmm. I gave an oath of homage to {s46}, yet the powerful are not bound by their oaths as our ordinary people. Our duty is to our own ability to rule, to impose order and prevent the war of all against all. str_rebellion_dilemma_sadistic|Hmm. In this vile world, a wise man must think of himself, for no one else will. So -- what's in it for me? str_rebellion_dilemma_goodnatured|I do not know what to say. I gave an oath to {s46} as the lawful ruler, but if he is not the lawful ruler, I don't know if I am still bound. str_rebellion_dilemma_upstanding|This is troublesome. It is a grave thing to declare my homage to {s46} to be null and void, and dissolve the bonds which keep our land from sinking into anarchy. Yet I am also pledged to support the legitimacy of the succession, and {s45} also has a valid claim to the throne. str_rebellion_dilemma_2_martial|On the other hand, {s46} has led us in war and peace, and I am loathe to renounce my allegiance. str_rebellion_dilemma_2_quarrelsome|So tell me, why should I turn my back on the bastard I know, in favor of {reg3?a woman the bastard} I don't know? str_rebellion_dilemma_2_pitiless|It is a most perilous position to be in, to be asked whom I would make {reg3?ruler king} of this land. Yet it is also a time of opportunity, for me to reap the rewards that have always been my due! str_rebellion_dilemma_2_cunning|{s46} has been challenged, and thus he will never be able to rule as strongly as one whose claim has never been questioned. Yet if {s45} takes the throne by force, {reg3?she he} will not be as strong as one who succeeded peacefully. str_rebellion_dilemma_2_sadistic|Perhaps if I join {s45} while {reg3?she he} is still weak {reg3?she he} will enrich me, but perhaps if I bring {s46} your head he will give me an even greater reward. str_rebellion_dilemma_2_goodnatured|{s46} has always treated me decently, yet it's true that he did wrong to {s45}. I hesitate to renounce my homage to {s46}, yet I also don't think it's right to support injustice. str_rebellion_dilemma_2_upstanding|I feel that I must do whatever is best for the realm, to avoid it being laid waste by civil war and ravaged by its enemies. str_political_philosophy_martial|My sword is at the disposal of my rightful liege, so long as he upholds his duty to me. str_political_philosophy_quarrelsome|Bah. They're all a bunch of bastards. I try to make sure that the ones who wrong me learn to regret it. str_political_philosophy_pitiless|Men will always try to cheat others of their rightful due. In this faithless world, each must remain vigilant of his own rights. str_political_philosophy_cunning|Well, it's a harsh world, and it is our lot to face harsh choices. Sometimes one must serve a tyrant to keep the peace, but sometimes a bit of rebellion keeps the kings honest. Circumstance is all. str_political_philosophy_sadistic|My philosophy is simple it is better to be the wolf than the lamb. str_political_philosophy_goodnatured|Well, you should keep faith with your promises, and not do injustice to others. Sometimes it's hard to balance those. Stick with people you trust, I think, and it's hard to go far wrong. str_political_philosophy_upstanding|Kingship and lordship have been instituted to keep the peace and prevent the war of all against all, yet that must not blind us to the possibility of injustice. str_political_philosophy_roguish|Hmm.. I guess I'm thinking that it's good to be a lord. str_political_philosophy_benefactor|A good ruler makes sure all are treated justly. Personally, I intend to use my authority to better the lot of those who live in my demesne. str_political_philosophy_custodian|A good ruler creates the proper conditions for people to prosper. Personally, I intend to use my wealth to create more wealth, for myself and for the common benefit. str_rebellion_prior_argument_very_favorable|I have already heard some arguments for supporting your candidate for the throne, and I tend to agree with them. str_rebellion_prior_argument_favorable|I have already heard some arguments for supporting your candidate for the throne, and I tend to agree with them. str_rebellion_prior_argument_unfavorable|I have already heard some arguments for supporting your candidate for the throne, but I do not find them convincing. str_rebellion_prior_argument_very_unfavorable|I have already heard some arguments for supporting your candidate for the throne, but I disagree with most of them. str_rebellion_rival_martial|{s49} your ally {s44} once questioned my honour and my bravery. It's not often I get the chance to face him in battle, and make him retract his statement. str_rebellion_rival_quarrelsome|{s49} you're working with {s44}. He's a crafty weasel, and I don't trust him one bit. str_rebellion_rival_pitiless|{s49} you seem to have enlisted the support of {s44} -- who is soft, and weak, and not fit to govern a fief, and whom I have always detested. str_rebellion_rival_cunning|{s49} {s44}, who has already joined you, is headstrong and quarrelsome, and a bit of liability. str_rebellion_rival_sadistic|{s49} I have no desire to fight alongside your ally {s44}, who puts on such a nauseating display of virtue. str_rebellion_rival_goodnatured|{s49} I'd be reluctant to be on the same side as {s44}, who has quite a reputation for cruelty. str_rebellion_rival_upstanding|{s49} your ally {s44} is in my opinion a dangerous, unreliable, and highly unprincipled man. str_rebellion_argument_favorable|I respect your line of argument str_rebellion_argument_neutral|I find your line of argument only moderately compelling str_rebellion_argument_unfavorable|I do not find your line of argument compelling str_rebellion_persuasion_favorable|you state your case eloquently str_rebellion_persuasion_neutral|you make a reasonable case str_rebellion_persuasion_unfavorable|you make an unconvincing case str_rebellion_relation_very_favorable|I have the greatest respect for you personally. str_rebellion_relation_favorable|I know and respect you personally. str_rebellion_relation_neutral|I do not know you as well as I might like. str_rebellion_relation_unfavorable|I do not trust you. str_and_comma_3|Furthermore, str_but_comma_3|However, str_and_comma_1|, and str_but_comma_1|, but str_and_comma_2|.

  兌換・不換通貨経済で、戦争を減らす、一番検証された確実な方法は 毎年GDP10％以上を無駄に消費し 全員の恐怖を煽りたて 国に従えば助かる という問題を設定することだ。 出典はアメリカの　アイアンマウンテンからの報告 　とかいう　秘密に研究されていた報告書の流出だ。 最初に考えられたのは、宇宙人の侵略　現実味がなくて却下 ２番めは　貧困　今すぐ問題ではないのでこれも効果がなし。 ３番めは環境問題で　2012年は絶賛進行中 通貨で平和になりたいならこれをやらなくてもうまく仲良く出来る方法を考えてからではなくては駄目だ。頭が悪いとこれを検討せずに政府紙幣や個人通貨を導入しようとするが、レガシーシステムにはすでに機能しているという保証がある。通貨を作りたいという大きなことをやるなら、レガシーシステムと共存するか、壊すなら確実にこれを論破してからにしろ。 私は中央銀行家を尊重し共存する道を選んだ。壊すのは相手を許容することができない能力の低い人間のやることだと思ったからだ。
