It is not the same thing as the troops' happiness. Elite troops may grumble and whine about the hardships of campaigning -- but then stand together as one when the arrows start to fly. On the other hand, a commander who gives his men everything they want may find that they grow soft, and waiver before the enemy's charge.^^Morale's greatest impact is on a party's behavior in battle, determining how aggressively troops engage the enemy, and how likely they are to break and run if they perceive the tide of battle turning against them. Morale also affects a party's march speed, as a less motivated party will move more slowly, as the men are not pushing themselves to their physical limit, and pause more frequently, as it waits for stragglers to catch up. Finally, a party with very low morale will start to suffer desertions.^^Some factors that affect morale are intuitive. For example, a charismatic commander with a reputation for winning battles can infuse his or her men with a sense of confidence. Leaders who give their men well ample and varied supplies of food, and pay them on time, demonstrate that they care about their troops' welfare, and are less likely to lead them into disaster.^^Other factors are less intuitive -- particularly those related to a party's sense of group cohesion. In a small tight-knit party, for example, men will often fight hard against daunting odds to avoid showing cowardice before their comrades-in-arms. A large party on the other hand may see its cohesion strained, as the commander has less time to supervise the men, listen to their grievances, and resolve their disputes. Frequent battles will strengthen the bonds between men, while long periods without combat will see the troops become bored and quarrelsome.^^The morale report, accessibly by hitting the 'reports' button will give the player a sense of the factors affecting his or her men's morale. ip_economy|Warband Economy ip_economy_text|Towns and villages in Pendor need a wide variety of goods for their populations to remain healthy and productive. First in importance is food. Grain is the staple crop of Pendor, but people also need fat and protein in the form of meat, fish, or cheese. It takes almost as much work to preserve meat as to produce it in the first place, so salt is also in high demand. After food comes clothing heavy wool, lighter linens, or luxurious velvet. Finally, people need the tools of their trade ironware, pottery, leatherware, and, of course, arms, armor, and horses for war.^^Most agricultural products are produced in the villages, while artisans in the towns specialize in manufactured or artisanal goods like fabrics or ironware. Also, different resources can be found in different parts of the country. Consequently, the key to prosperity in Pendor is trade -- both between the villages and the towns, and between the major towns themselves.^^When trade flows, goods will be available and affordable, the population of a center will be healthy and energetic, and migrants will flock from the nearby regions. The center will produce more, consume more, and be able to contribute more in taxes to their lords. When trade dries up, towns and villages will see their workers flee to seek work elsewhere, and economic activity will drift to a stand-still. Thus, it is in the interests of rulers to protect trade routes from the hazards of war and banditry. A smart merchant, however, may want to seek out towns which have become isolated from the rest of the land, as he or she may be able to turn a tidy profit from the resulting price imbalances.^^Because villagers usually plan to take their goods to market in towns, village markets will be rather quiet places, and villagers will buy cheap and sell dear. Serious merchants will stick to the towns to make a profit, although some parties may decide to make a quick stop in a village to acquire supplies.^^A player who wants to know about the factors affecting a region's prosperity can speak to the guildmaster of the local town. Other information can be gleaned from passers-by, although they might not know very much outside of their own particular trade. ip_courtship|Warband Courtship ip_courtship_text|Players may wish to marry into one of Pendor's noble families. Marriage is not necessary for a player to rise in power and stature, but it does provide players with an opportunity to improve their relation with lords and establish a claim to the throne.^^Marriage requirements will be different for males and females. A male character will usually need to pursue a traditional path of courtship. He should establish a reputation in Pendorian aristocratic society, get on good terms with his bride's parents or guardians, and then woo the lady according to local custom. If a player grows impatient, he may attempt to take a shortcut -- but there will be consequences in his relations with other lords.^^A male character should keep in mind that other lords will be competing with him for the affections of the kingdom's ladies. Also, a lady's tastes are unpredictable, and a player may also find that the object of his love does not love him in return. Romance, in Pendor as elsewhere, does not always prosper. Of course, a player may resort to other, less gentlemanly means of winning a lady's heart, but again, that will have a serious impact on his reputation.^^To get started on the path of courtship, a male player should try to get involved in the social life of the Pendorian aristocracy, attending feasts and tournaments. Also, wandering troubadours and poets can serve as a useful repository of information on courtship, and keep the player up to date about the latest gossip.^^Female characters can also marry -- but they should keep in mind that Pendorian society is very traditional, and, as adventurers, they have chosen a very unconventional path for a woman. A female character may have to look for a while to find a lord who is open-minded enough to marry her.^^On the bright side, a female character does not have to go through the elaborate rituals of courtship, and she also may gain more from a marriage than her male counterpart. For a woman adventurer, marriage can be a quick path to power -- and an unscrupulous character may be able to use her husband as a tool of her political ambitions. ip_politics|Warband Politics ip_politics_text|The realms of Pendor, although they represent different cultures, all adhere to the same basic political system feudalism. Feudalism is based on the relationships between individuals the oaths of loyalty given by a vassal to his or her liege. In exchange for this oath, the vassal will usually receive a fief, a parcel of land whose income will be used by the vassal to raise troops to support the liege in time of war. A liege also has an obligation to protect his vassals, and to treat them justly.^^This is how it works in theory, anyway. In practice, vassals will not always work in their factions' interests, particular as they are often quarreling with one another. Nobles have different personalities, and sometimes those personalities clash. Or, perhaps two nobles were once friends, but fell out over in the aftermath of a setback or a defeat -- or because they both were wooing the same lady. Jealousies will also surface as they vie for the favor of the king -- perhaps over newly conquered lands, or over who will be given the coveted office of marshal, the lord in charge of organizing large-scale campaigns.^^When one realm in Pendor makes war on another, the political unity of the each kingdom is as important as the quality or number of its soldiers in determining the outcome. In a cohesive kingdom, nobles will join together in a large force to sweep their opponents before them. In a kingdom divided by petty quarrels, lords will fail to respond to the marshal's summons, or drift away to attend to their own business if a campaign is not going well. A faction's political cohesion will also impact warfare when campaigns are not in progress. In a divided faction, lords will be less likely to join together on raids and patrols, and come to each other's defense.^^If it seems self-defeating for nobles to bicker and quarrel when the enemy is just over the horizon, keep this in mind -- ultimately, a noble's loyalty goes not to a particular faction or culture, but to himself and to his family. If a noble fears that his faction is collapsing, or if he is being neglected by his liege, he can usually find a reason to withdraw his oath of allegiance, and change sides. Players should keep this in mind, as they may find that there are opportunities to turn discontented former enemies into allies. ip_character_backgrounds|Warband Character Backgrounds ip_character_backgrounds_text|A player character in Pendor may choose to come from a variety of social backgrounds. This choice will affect not just his or her starting skills and equipment, but also the course of his or her career as an adventurer.^^War and politics in Pendor are traditionally dominated by male aristocrats. A noble player character may find that he is invited into this 'old boys' club' fairly quickly, but commoners may face a few extra hurdles on the way. If you choose to start the game as a noble, you can think of it as the 'easy' setting. Starting as a commoner is somewhat more difficult^^However, women have some starting advantages. It is traditionally easier for a woman to marry up the social ladder than it is for a man, and a woman may find she can gain more from a strategic marital alliance than her male counterpart.^^Finally, keep in mind that the game does not place any limits on the upward mobility of characters based on their background. Noble or common, male or female, married or unmarried -- anyone can rise to become ruler of all Pendor, if they are sufficiently brave, lucky, or resourceful. ip_military_campaigns|Warband Military Campaigns ip_military_campaigns_text|When kingdoms in Pendor go to war, their armies have two basic offensive options. They can try to attack villages and lay waste to the countryside, damaging their enemy's prestige and economy. Or, they can try to seize and hold castles or towns, taking territory This second option can involve long, bloody sieges, but will yield more decisive results.^^It is important to note that the realms of Pendor do not field standing armies, which remain in the field as long as the ruler desires. Rather, Pendorian realms are protected by feudal levies comprised of the major nobles and their individual retinues. Sometimes, these nobles launch their own private attacks into enemy territory, but the most decisive events will usually take place when the great hosts are assembled. The kingdom's marshal, a noble appointed by the king, will summon the host before the campaign and lead them out to battle. However, he should be careful not to keep them in the field too long. Otherwise, the host will begin to disintegrate, as the vassals drift off to pursue their own business, and the army will be vulnerable to a counter-attack.^^For this reason, the rhythm of wars in Pendor often resemble the rhythm of a duel between two individual combatants. One side will gather its strength and seek to land a blow against the enemy's territory. If the marshal spends too little time gathering the vassals, he may not be able to do any real damage. If he spends too much time, then the campaign may end before it has even begun. A large realm will have an advantage over a smaller one, just as a brawny combatant has an edge over a smaller foe, but a realm's political cohesion can also be a factor, just as a fighter with great stamina can outlast her opponent. Sometimes, the armies of two realms will meet head on, resulting in a major battle in which both numbers and morale will decide the outcome.^^Kingdoms will have imperfect intelligence about their enemies. Attacking lords will need to frequently scout enemy territory to determine which fortresses may be vulnerable. An army defending its homeland will benefit from the alarms raised by castles and towns, which broadcast intelligence about enemy movements in the area. Such intelligence will be imprecise, however, particularly when it comes to numbers. A defending force which sets out to raise a siege or rescue a village may be able to overwhelm an unprepared attacker -- or it may miscalculate, and find that it is the one to be overwhelmed. Attackers, in turn, must be careful how far they advance into enemy territory, with aggressive marshals venturing further than cautious ones.^^Players will be expected to join in their faction's military campaign, either by joining the host, or by scouting ahead into enemy territory. Some players may find that their realm's marshal is too cautious, or too aggressive, for their tastes. In this case, they can intrigue with other lords to try to replace the marshal, or build support to become the marshal themselves.^^Most wars are of limited duration. A king who goes to war will, for the sake of honor, feel obligated to pursue the conflict for a short while. However, unless he is soundly beating his enemy. he may soon start looking for a way out of the conflict, lest he leave himself vulnerable to an attack by a third party. Pendor's rulers are keenly aware that today's ally may be tomorrow's enemy, and vice versa. ip_pendor_history|Pendor The History ip_pendor_history_text|Almost a Millennium ago^^The war of the Titans laid the foundation for the ascension of Man. A terrible war, between ancient elder races left the world stripped of magic, and those magnificent mythical people, once so powerful, were now only the stuff of folklore and legends. Only the reclusive Noldor, remain from those times, and their once great cities are all destroyed save perhaps one.^^Three hundred fifty four years ago - the Founding of Pendor.^^It is the time of Man. The story centers on the fertile lands of Pendor and the struggles of the peoples, their leaders and their destiny. Several hundred years ago, a single Kingdom was forged by sword and fire. A peace was maintained and prosperity came to the kingdom and it flourished. Five generations of Pendorian Kings sat on the Silver Throne in Sarleon and for nearly two hundred years they guided the destiny of their land and its subjects.^^From the Founding of Pendor - the year is 198^^The downfall of the Kingdom was as swift as it was vile. A single month, thirty days, and the empire was in tatters. The irony was it was not by the sword in battle, nor by some dark magic that caused the deaths of the King and his family. But by an unseen killer, a disease, the red plague that ravaged the land and cut down the peoples of the Kingdom, great and small, like an assassin in the night.^The royal family had perished, and there was no King to rule the land. Then came the invasions that seemed to shatter the once proud kingdom into slivers and the glory that was once the Kingdom of Pendor, was now itself the stuff of legend.^With the death of the King and his heirs, there was chaos. Multiple lords laid claim to the throne and nearly every noble of the land began squabbling over succession.^^From the Founding of Pendor - the year is 199^^The carefully laid agreements, truces and alliances with neighboring powers became suspect. In the North, the mountain tribesmen began raiding the heartlands of Pendor. Embolden by their success and the lack of response from the Knights of the Realm, they struck even deeper and soon this led to the siege to Rane. The Earl of Rane sought help from the nobles of the land, but the schemes of the powerful found reasons not to come to his aid. Many Northern Lords, banded together and formed a small army that marched to defend the city from the onslaught of the northern Mystmountain warriors.. The battle was bloody and fierce, and in the end, the siege was lifted, and the barbarian tribesmen and their shaman leaders, routed back to their mountain homes. The Northern Lords, who fought so valiantly that day, decided to establish a knighthood order, the Order of the Dragon, comprised of the valiant warriors who defended the city. News of this new order was not well received by other knighthood orders or by the nobility to the South. They demanded that the Order of the Dragon be disbanded which in the minds of the proud warriors of the North, was an unforgivable insult to their valor. The scorn of other established knighthood and the lack of support to route the invaders from Rane prompted the Northern Lords to break ties with the southern lords and declared themselves an independent Kingdom The Kingdom of Ravenstern.^Reeling from the succession of the Northern cities and lords, the remaining Pendorian nobility were not prepared to meet the next challenge that followed within a few short years.^^From the Founding of Pendor - the year is 202^^From the South, over the southern sea, the great Baccus empire launched an invasion fleet and landed a powerful army on the shores of Pendor led by the war hardened General Oasar. He drove inland conquering cities and castles, and seemed unstoppable. Ironically, within a few short months of campaigning, the general received by messenger that the great Baccus Empire itself was in civil war and that the Emperor had been assassinated. After receiving this shocking news, Oasar established himself, with the support of several Pendor Lords, as Overlord of Janos and officially broke away from what was left of the Baccus Empire. The great Baccus Empire convoluted and fragmented into dozens of principalities, city-states and kingdoms. The greatest and most powerful is the under the dominion of the priesthood of the serpent a powerful and seemingly mystical religion of warrior priests who worship the unnamed goddess of darkness who manifests herself in the form of a snake.^For the once great kingdom of Pendor, that meant that a large portion of its Southern lands, cities and nobility were now either dead or sworn to service under this upstart general who calls himself Overlord.^^From the Founding of Pendor - the year is 204^^After the establishment of the Northern Kingdom of Ravenstern and the invasion of Oasar, the powerful Lord Alfred, Duke of Sarleon, consolidated the remaining lords of Pendor and declared himself King of Sarleon. For ten years a measure of peace was maintained.^^From the Founding of Pendor - the year is 213^^To the far north, across the seas lived the hearty warriors of the Vanskerry. Segmented into Jarldoms, they were raiders and traders. With the Baccus Empire gone, many of the Vanskerry mercenaries in their employ were free to return home to the frosty shores of their fathers. A wise man's musings in the reaches of Vanskerry goes 'Death is found in the blade of your enemy and trouble when a warrior has nothing to do.' When word came to the North of the troubles of Pendor, it was greeted with a call to arms and promises of plunder and women. Soon, raiding ships found the shores of Pendor a ripe land full of gold and wealth. Their well-armed and hearty warriors began raiding the towns and villages along the coast and met very little resistance. The Knights of the Lion and Lords of Sarleon responded by patrolling the coastal shores. Yet, still the crafty Vanskerry raiders managed to sack village after village. With so little ability to defend themselves, the merchant lords of the Pendorian coastal provinces sent delegations to the Jarldoms to seek alliances and protection. At first they were rejected, but in time as offers included titles and lands many Jarls and their huscarls began to listen. The lands of Vanskerry are rugged and cold, compared with the lush and rich pastures of Pendor. The lure of good weather, and the chance to become a Lord of a castle, or even a well-located mayor of a village, appealed to many of the Jarls. Soon, many Vanskerry households left the shores of their fathers and sought fortune and prosperity along the coast of Pendor. Some entered into the service of the Pendorian lords, others married into the noble families. This changed many things in the Kingdom, as the warrior culture and attitudes of Vanskerry were brought into the noble houses of the coastal lords. Within a generation the culture gap was so great that the coastal nobles broke away from the King of Sarleon and formed a rough alliance of city-states called collectively the Fierdsvain.^^From the Founding of Pendor - the year is 204 to 245^^The story continues about detailed intrigues, war and heroic actions as well as the great villains of the land. There were stories of the Jatu tribesmen and their flight from the Empire and General Oasar, becoming nomads in the Eastern prairies of Pendor. There are the detailed accounts of the Order of the Lion, a knighthood order of Pendor, and their history and their betrayal by one of their own which had the order declared outlaw for years until their redemption under the current King of Sarleon. Chapters were dedicated to the D'Shar, a nomadic peoples who are evolving into a military and economic force only to find that their own worst enemy is themselves. Just as fascinating was the references to the encounters with the ancient Noldor and their powerful weapons and enchantments that changed the life of more than one adventurer. I was especially drawn to the story of Madigan, a wandering mystic who prophesized the coming of a hero who would unite the lords of the Pendor and reunite the old kingdom. His saga touched me as a hero himself, trying to speak the truth and being condemned to death for his beliefs. ip_pendor_present|Pendor The Present ip_pendor_present_text|From the Founding of Pendor - the year is 354 - The Prophesy has awakened.^^The North - Ravenstern and the Mystmountain Barbarians^^To the North, the Kingdom of Ravenstern sits on the southern slopes of the impassible Cloudmist Mountains. They are a hearty, proud peoples having adapted to the harsh Northern climate. The ruler of Ravenstern is King Gregory IV, the great grandson of King Gregory I, who led the final charge that drove the shaman of the northern barbarians back into their homes in the Cloudmist Mountains. Every since that battle, Ravenstern has been tested by constant raids and sorties from these bloodthirsty clansmen. The Lords of Ravenstern are fearsome warriors, yet they are quite proud and very individualistic. There is a strong underlying culture of competition among these peoples that makes them outstanding individual warriors, though in groups they tend to be undisciplined. The Knights of the Order of the Dragon, the cream of the Ravenstern nobility, are to be feared in combat. Like most of the other Knighthood Orders in the realm, these Knights do not swear allegiance to any noble, but rather travel with the Lords of the realm when it suits them.^^The West - The Fierdsvain and the raiders of Vanskerry^^Along the coast to the West is Fierdsvain, where some of the Jarls of Vanskerry have intermingled and intermarried with the old Kingdom to form a unique warrior culture. Most of the former mercenary Jarls of Vanskerry who went to war on behalf of the Emperor of the Baccus Empire had difficulty in returning to the cold barren shores of the North. When the emissaries from the coastal lords of Pendor arrived, many jumped at the chance to establish themselves in better climates. However, there were many in Vanskerry who looked upon these mercenary Jarls as turncoats to the code of the North and have sworn to make it a point to plunder the lands held by these traitors. Regardless, infused with new blood, strong warriors and an appetite for both battle and trade, the Fierdsvain have flourished and have become as powerful as Sarleon itself.^^The ashes of Pendor - The Kingdom of Sarleon^^The Kingdom of Sarleon dominates the center of the game map. The current King, Ulric of Sarleon, is the descendent of King Alfred I, former Duke Alfred of Sarleon. Once King Alfred established the Kingdom of Sarleon, most of the Knighthood orders charged with defending Pendor were outlawed. The most famous of the outlawed orders was the Order of the Griffon the guardians of the royal line of Pendor. Today only one order, the Order of the Lion still exists in Sarleon. This noble order backed Alfred's claim to rule. The Order of the Lion since that time has had a murky past, and for a score of years they also were outlawed. Today they have been vindicated and are now in the good graces of King Ulric of Sarleon and are the guardians of the realm.^^The Southern Steppes - The D'Shar Nomads^^The South, along the Shavanir Desert is the Principality of D'Shar made of dozens of separate individual tribes. At the height of the founding of the Kingdom of Pendor several tribes supported the peace and prosperity that the Kings of Pendor offered them for a treaty of peace. The peace turned into an alliance and these tribes began trading with the Northern Kingdoms. The makeshift tents and stalls that they set up in the plains of D'Shar over several generations became small-fortified towns and villages. No longer were they nomadic, but settled down, built homes and planted crops. Their prosperity quickly propelled these tribes into prominence in the D'Shar plains. Yet, those tribes who were staunchly tied to the old ways, remain nomadic and have rejected the 'city dwellers' completely. Recently they have reverted to raiding the many caravans coming into and out of these towns. This has caused a great deal of tension between the cities and the tribal nomads closer to the great desert.^^The Southeast - The Empire and the Snake Cult^^The remnants in and on Pendor of the Great Baccus Empire are now called just 'The Empire'. However, some portion of the old Baccus Republic (Pre-Empire by several hundred years) must have had profound influence on General Oasar, as he decreed that a democratic council of Lords selects each new 'Overlord' when either the existing ruler dies or reaches the age of sixty. The strong military of the Empire could have long ago swept Northwards into the Pendor heartland and conquered the interior towns, but for the ties that the Empire has from their homeland across the Southern Sea, which have plagued them to no end. The Serpent Cult has been a constant threat, both politically and empirically to the Empire as they almost successfully corrupted the Empire ruling class from within. It did not help that the many civilians and nobles were until recently openly in support of the path of the Serpent. All this has changed. The current Emperor, Marius I, has been successful in banning the Priests and temples from the cities of the Empire. This diplomatic feat has resulted in more of an all out war between the priesthood and the Empire and battles in and around Empire towns and castles are common. The Serpent worshipers in Pendor have gone underground, and receive help from across the Southern Sea where the heart of the Serpent resides. Marius I, has deftly turned the tables on the priesthood and has shown to the peoples of the Empire the depths of their unholy depravity. Escaping the death kiss of a Priestess of the Serpent is strong motivation for the average citizen to help their emperor in this task.^^East - the Jatu tribesmen^^Along the Eastern plains of Pendor are the steppes of the Jatu. The original Jatu lived across the Southern Sea in a land of vast plains. They were a fiercely independent nomadic people, well versed with bow and spear. The Jatu are skillful horsemen and boys at an early age learn how to fight from horseback. After years of conflict, the Baccus Empire brokered an agreement with the leaders the Jatu that in exchange for peace. The Jatu would provide mercenaries to the Empire to conquer other lands. When General Oasar invaded Pendor, his main compliment of cavalry was the Jatu Horse Lords. When word came that the Great Baccus Empire was in tatters and that the Emperor was dead, the War leaders of the Jatu had no way to return to their homeland. Instead, they left the service of Oasar, raided dozens of villages for women folk, and traveled northwards to establish a new homeland for their peoples. A closed society that refuses trade and diplomatic overtures, these warriors will attack anyone in their domain.^^Everywhere - at-large - those with weapons and the will to use them^^Once the Empire's armies began to stand down and call Southern Pendor their own, the more unsavory elements, to which the old Baccus Empire was famous for, began to emerge. The Red Brotherhood is a confederation of secret societies that crossed borders all across Pendor. They are bandits, thieves, slavers, and they deal in unsavory plans and sell whatever they can get their hands on. You will find them at times, helpful, and at times, they will be glad to relieve you of your possessions and perhaps your life. Town Militia and various lords try to wipe them out when found, but rooting them out of the various cities is like trying to kill rat infestation with a stick. You never seem to get them all. Note that the various gangs of Red Brotherhood operate independently of one another.^^While there are many hazards in Pendor to be wary of, perhaps one of the most dangerous are the various Renegade Knights who wander the countryside. These knights are of various origins, some are from outlawed knighthood orders, others are twisted by the wild magic of the items which they carry, and some are just bent on the destruction of any who cross their path. One thing if for certain, they are deadly.^^There are many religions and faiths in the lands of Pendor. Most of them are benevolent, and maintain a doctrine that is the bridge between life and death with a code of conduct that paves the way for a pleasant hereafter. A few of the non-benevolent religions are bent upon destruction and hatred. These followers are termed heretics by the other faiths, and are looked upon as something to be stamped out. Heretics often are believers in human sacrifice, and other dark rituals and are unsavory at best. At worse, they bring the stuff from your worst nightmares to life.^^In your travels you will find adventurer companies. These groups of adventurers are from varied backgrounds and have many different goals. Some are on missions for various lords, some are bounty hunters, and still others are explorers of the ancient cities destroyed long ago. If they happen to take an interest in you, be prepared for anything as it is these self-styled heroes that turn up in the most improbable places, with the most unreal equipment and do the impossible. ^^To the far East, the Noldor.^^The last known remaining trace of the elder races are the Noldor. The war of the Titans was horrific, and the once graceful cities of these folks have long since been destroyed. Only this one place, hidden from outsiders, remains of their civilization. The Noldor were once wondrous workers of magic, but one of the results of the great conflict was that they were no longer able to invoke the cantrips and spells that were so central to their lives. Still, some of their lesser enchantments are still working as evidenced by their almost supernatural abilities on the battlefield. None who cross the paths of the Noldor near their home, come away unscathed. ip_pendor_orders|Pendor The Knighthood Orders ip_pendor_orders_text|History of the Pendorian Knighthood orders as researched and scribed by Hubris deAelswid of Sarleon, Scholar of the third order and keeper of the Seal of Sarleon.^^The founding of Pendor was accomplished by a figure of legendary renown Cavalas of Valonbray, the son of a renowned knight who, depending on which historian you reference, either 8th or 12th in line to the throne of Valonbray. Regardless, through exploit and adventure Cavalas brought together the various noble lords and founded the Kingdom of Pendor and established the Silver Throne in Sarleon.^^It is generally regarded as fact that King Cavalas, in his adventuring days formed the Order of the Griffin, which is considered the first Knighthood order of the Pendorian Kindgom.^^Soon after his coronation, Cavalas drafted the Validus Charta, and it was signed by the various noble lords of the realm and through this document established the binding charter and legal grounds for the existence of a body of knights to form an organized order that had recognized coat of arms. It is generally argued that this was a condition by some Lords to support King Cavalas in the establishment of Pendor. This claim cannot be verified as no documents are known to exist that substantiate this theory.^^Regardless, within several years a plethora of knighthood orders sprung up in Sarleon and other cities and castles. Few of course lasted more than the lifetime of the founder, and this document shall confine its scope only to those orders that have survived in some form, to this day, the 12th of April, 354, with one notable exception that of the Order of the Griffon.^^The Order of the Lion - Established in the 82nd year after the founding of Pendor by Sir. Roderick the Red. Colors Red Rampant Lion on a silver field. The Order of the Lion is one of the largest and most renowned orders of Knights in the land. The charter of the order is strict in it's chivalrous by-laws. It is the oldest knighthood order that still has members in Pendor. After the untimely deaths of the royal family in 198, the order was instrumental, along with the Order of the Griffon, in establishing and maintaining order in the realm and preventing an all out war between rival factions contending for the throne of Pendor.^^After the succession of the Northern Lords, and the war with the Greater Baccus Empire, the order backed and supported Duke Alfred of Sarleon in assuming the throne and declaring a himself the King of Sarleon.^^In the 298th year after the founding of Pendor, the Order was outlawed. All texts and reference to the reasons and history surrounding this event have been destroyed by the order of our King, Ulric I of Sarleon, himself now a prominent member of this Knighthood Order. In the 346th year after the founding of Pendor, the Order was restored by the order of King Ulric I of Sarleon and all references to the events and histories since 298 were destroyed.^Scholars note King Ulric was coroneted in 346.^^The Order of the Radiant Cross. This Knighthood Order was established in the 113th year after the founding of Pendor by Baron Jorn of Dunglave. Colors White Cross on a Black Field.^Scholars note Dunglave was renamed to Janos after the occupation of the city by General Oasar in the 203rd year after the founding of Pendor.^The order was one of the prominent forces to battle the invasion by the Greater Baccus Empire in the 202nd year after the founding of Pendor. Overwhelmed in the battle of Sagent Glade, they were all but destroyed by the legions under General Oasar. When General Oasar became 'Overlord', and after the desertion by the Jatu, he incorporated the order colors to form the identifying marks of his elite cavalry units. While these Cavalrymen are not true Knights by any stretch of the imagination, and they do not operate under the Validus Charta, the colors survive and the citizens of the empire often refer to these mounted soldiers as the remnant of that once noble order of Knights.^^The Order of the Dragon - Established in the 199th year after the founding of Pendor by Earl Klovis of Rane. Colors Red Dragon on a field of Azure. There are some accounts that the order was actually ordained on the field of battle during the siege of Rane. Other accounts point out that the order actually came into existence when the documents were ratified and signed several weeks later by the traitorous lords of the Northern borders. I shall leave that debate in the hands of other brothers to determine, if indeed it shall be settled in my lifetime.^^The Order of the Dragon was created to honor the noble warriors who stood and routed the armies of the Mystmountain Tribes during the siege of Rane. It is a rogue order, with no charter under the Validus Charta.^^The Order of the Falcon - Established in 94th year after the founding of Pendor. Colors Black Falcon on a yellow field. This order has the notable distinction of allowing females into it's ranks. The original charter allowed for this as one of the five founding members was a woman warrior by the name of Valera who was of no little prowess on the battlefield. This Order originated as a very successful adventuring company in the early years of the Kingdom that later transformed itself under the Validus Charta.^^The Order fragmented after the breaking up of the Kingdom and over the years have declined to the point of extinction. The order was outlawed in Ravenstern in the 349th year after the founding of Pendor by King Gregory IV. Most of the order either retired or fled to other lands.^Scholars note The order may have survived in a form with the Valkyrie in Fierdsvain as they wear the orders emblem upon their breasts. No documents survive that speak of this, and the initiation rites of the Valkyrie are not well documented nor understood. Though I daresay that I doubt that any of my scholarly brothers would want to risk their manhood by too closely examining the breasts of these female warriors. ^^The Order of the Griffon - Established prior to the founding of Pendor. Colors Gold Griffon on a field of brown. This prestigious order of knights were the royal guards of the line of Cavalas. The plague of 198 wiped out a large amount of the Order Knights as well as the Royal family.^After the plague, they put aside their differences and worked with the Order of the Lion to maintain order in the land. In the 203rd year after the founding of Pendor, in the forests of Laria the order made it's last stand against a small army of the Jatu who were moving into the Larian farmlands. While successful in defending Laria from being plundered by the Jatu, not a single Knight of this once proud order survived. The great hall of the Griffon Knights in Sarleon stood empty for many years until being converted into an abbey. Scholars note There is some reference in the recorded histories of the Order of the Lion that prospective knights applying to resurrect the Order of the Griffin were discouraged from achieving their goal. This will have to be researched further.^^Order of the Rose - Founded in the 125th year after the founding of Pendor. Colors White Rose on a green field. This order was founded by Sir Rhys of Avendor and during his lifetime was a prominent order of gallant knights. After his death in the 158th year after the founding of Pendor, his successor turned the order away from martial pursuits and more towards scholarly ones. Since that time the order has degenerated into an elite club for the sons of the Sarleon nobility to enjoy fine wine, and intellectual diatribe. I list it as it still does exist in the taverns and back rooms of Avendor.^^By my hand and no other..^^Hubris de Aelswid of Sarleon,^Scholar of the third order^Keeper of the Seal of Sarleon. ip_pendor_althea|Pendor Althea and Qualis ip_pendor_althea_text|The storm raged against the cold stone walls of the castle.^^Echoes of thunder rumbled down cheerless corridors and into the great hall, where reveling shadows danced across rough stone walls to the silent music of flickering torches.^^Althea sat alone beside the pool, clutching a finely-patterned wool shawl to ward off the damp chill.^^'I hear you, Qualis,' she said simply. She looked up into the high rafters where the shadows deepened, untouched by the torchlight.^^Above her, the snap and whirr of leathery wings announced the descent of a small dragon. It touched down beside her, its sharp, curved claws scraping against the flagstones.^^'Why do you not rest?' rasped Qualis.^^'The storm keeps me wakeful. It reminds me of the night we lost our father, my brother and I,' said Althea, as she turned her gaze from the dragon back to the still water of the pool.^^The meredragon regarded her silently, as she drifted into memories of her past. The pain of her sacrifice was still fresh, and as she thought back on all she'd given up, a solitary tear slid down her cheek.^^The dragon watched her grief in bewilderment. He had lived with this elf-woman for years and still she remained an enigma. He could not comprehend her strong ties to her own kind, particularly her unbreakable link to her hatch-brother. He knew of the mysteries and the will. He understood the loose kinship of his kind, love of the hunt, the need every twenty winters to seek out a mate, but Althea's behavior was inexplicable.^^He wondered, and not for the first time, if she was mentally defective or had a disease which caused a sickness of spirit.^^He felt a familiar touch upon his mind then, a gentle shifting of perception, and knew that the Oracle was again coming to inhabit his consciousness. He had long ago ceased fighting this inner interloper. For centuries he had struggled against this possession, and always in vain. The futility of this resistance was at last borne upon him, and he discovered that cooperation was of mutual benefit.^^Now, out of habit, he simply relaxed and cleared his mind.^^'Althea, you are in pain,' rasped the Oracle through Qualis.^^Althea started, as she always did when the Oracle took control of the dragon's body without warning.^^'Yes', she began, 'I suppose I am. The storm has brought back so many sorrowful memories.'^^'I know that it is still difficult for you, however willingly your choice was made. Yet poor Qualis does not understand, and is disturbed by your grief,' the Oracle said.^^She felt the warm, familiar touch in her mind, and let the Oracle enter her consciousness. The room began to fade around her, and she slipped peacefully into the black.^^When she opened her eyes again, it was morning. The storm had passed, and brilliant sunlight had banished the torch shadows from the great hall. The air smelled fresh and clean, with a hint of the rain still lingering.^^Sitting on his haunches and surrounded by glittering, sapphire-hued gems was Qualis, perched with wings folded back and forearms resting upon his knees. 'I am going release Qualis to himself now. Please be gentle with him, as he is deeply distressed.' said the Oracle.^^Althea looked at the Oracle-Qualis in confusion. 'Why is he distressed? And what are these. ' she asked, as she indicated the dozens of glowing gems, scattered like shimmering raindrops about the room.^^'I allowed Qualis to experience your sorrow, Althea. Dragons, even clever meredragons, are incapable of understanding elven emotion. Their needs are simple, and they lack the emotive expression of your kind. These gems are the tears that Qualis shed when he experienced your pain.^^Still confused, Althea said, 'Dragons feel no sorrow, nor do they shed tears!'^^'Do not and can not are worlds apart, my dear. For last night, this little dragon did. Once Qualis is more composed, he will undoubtedly slink off to sulk, so please pick up this litter of gems. I believe that they just may be useful one day.'

Normally I travel between the salt mines and the slave markets on the coast, on commission from those whose relatives have gone missing. But if I'm out on my errands of mercy, and I come across a fellow dragging around a captive or two, well, there's no harm in a little speculative investment, is there? And you look like the type who might have a prisoner to sell. dlga_ransom_broker_info_talk ransom_broker_families|What if their families can't pay? dlga_ransom_broker_families ransom_broker_info_talk|Oh, then I spin them a few heartwarming tales of life on the galleys. You'd be surprised what sorts of treasures a peasant can dig out of his cowshed or wheedle out of his cousins, assuming he's got the proper motivation!

The real money of course is in the gentry, and if you ever want to do my job you'll want to learn about every landowning family in the Isles, their estates, their heraldry, their offspring both lawful and bastard, and, of course, their credit with the merchants. dlga_ransom_broker_info_talk ransom_broker_ransom_me|Would you be able to ransom me if I were taken? dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_me ransom_broker_info_talk|Of course.

If you have done a bit of fighting, speaking with one of their lords will probably result in being offered a mercenary contract. However the real rewards come if you can manage to become a vassal to a king. A vassal can own villages, castles and towns and get rich with the taxes and revenues of these estates. Normally, only nobles of the realm own land in this way, but in time of war, a king will not hesitate to accept someone who distinguishes {reg59?herself himself} on the battlefield as a vassal, and grant {reg59?her him} the right to own land. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4a tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4|It is not unheard-of for adventurers to renounce allegiance to a king altogether, declare themselves kings, and claim land in their own name. This is a difficult path, however, as the great nobles of the land, with their long ancestries, are not likely to accept such upstarts as their monarch. Such rulers would need to be very careful in establishing their right to rule, or they would be set upon from all sides. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4 tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_5|It might be easier for an adventurer like yourself to pledge support to an existing king's rival. There are many such pretenders in these lands -- those who are born to the right family, who go around and stir up trouble saying they have a better claim to the throne than the current king. If those claim holders could find supporters, they could easily start civil wars and perhaps even replace the king one day. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_5 tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_6|Interesting.

It is short enough to be easily learned. It is an allegoric poem, replete with symbols and metaphor. It describes how a brave but rough warrior wins the heart of his lady by learning the virtues of chivalry, becoming a true and noble knight. Its theme -- that the role of a woman is to inspire but also civilize a man -- it is appreciated by some noble {reg59?lords ladies}, but not all. dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.1|I can teach you the poem, 'The Heart's Desire.' It is a lyrical poem, which can be interpreted either erotically or spiritually. The lover realizes the majesty of the divine by gazing upon the body of his beloved. I believe that it appeals to {reg59?men who are good natured and pure women of a certain romantic temperament}, but you risk scandalizing or boring others. dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.2|I can teach you the tale of Kais and Layala. It is a sad and simple story -- the shepherd boy Kais and the nobleman's daughter Layala love each other, but they can never marry. The poem is Kais' lament as he wanders alone, unwilling to forget his true love, driving himself mad with longing. Some {reg59?men enjoy the sweetness of his sorrors, especially those of good nature ladies melt at the sweetness of his sorrows}; others glaze over at his self-pity. dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.3|I can teach you part of the saga of Helgerad and Kara.

Her father, who pledged her to another, comes with his sons and his huscarls to kill Helgered. They fight, and Helgered and Kara slaughter the entire host except for Kara's beloved younger brother -- who, alas, grows up to avenge his father by slaying Helgered. {reg59?I find even though most martial men don't like the depiction of women warriors, there is still enough blood and action to appeal to them.

In these lands, a daughter is a political asset, to be given away to a lord with whom her father wishes to make an alliance. Yet the great families of this land idealize pure love between man and woman, and I have seen many a hardened warrior weep copious tears at the doomed ardour of Sahira and Janun in the songs -- even as he made plans to break his own daughter's heart. dlga_minstrel_nobles_2 minstrel_nobles_3|Fathers differ, of course. Some nobles will let their daughters choose a husband who pleases them. Others, however, feel that to allow their daughters any choice at all would be to diminish their own authority, and insist on imposing a groom whether she likes it or not. dlga_minstrel_nobles_3 minstrel_prequestions|But the majority will steer a middle course -- they will want to make the final decision about a groom, but will weigh their daughter's preferences heavily. Among other factors, a happy marriage is more likely to produce heirs. So, there is a place for courtship, and for the use of skill and passion to win a lady's heart. dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2 minstrel_daughter_father|What if a lady and her father disagree about a suitor? dlga_minstrel_daughter_father minstrel_daughter_father_2|It happens sometimes that a bride elopes. This is a major blow to the father's prestige, leading to lasting enmities. Indeed, it is possible that a war may be fought over a woman. Now, that is a fine topic for a song. dlga_minstrel_daughter_father_2 minstrel_prequestions|In the end, however, most brides will submit to their parents' choice. A noblewoman's family is everything to her, and few are brave enough to risk its disapproval for the sake of man she barely knows. She may pine for her lover, but still accept the groom -- and without tragic love, what would we have to sing about? dlga_minstrel_player_role minstrel_player_role_2|Of course! Some lords make a great deal of lineage, but in the end, lands and money speak louder than one's ancestors. Even though you are a foreigner, if you are coming up in the world, then many parents will consider you a fine catch. dlga_minstrel_player_role_2 minstrel_player_role_3|You will have to compete with many other lords of your realm, however, who will have an advantage -- they have known these ladies from childhood, and will have been sized up as grooms by carefully discerning mothers and aunts. Some ladies may be fascinated by the stranger, yet opt for the familiar. dlga_minstrel_player_role_3 minstrel_prequestions|So know this -- you may have your heart broken. But to enter the arena of love fearing heartbreak is like entering the battlefield fearing the enemy's arrows. Be brave, and shrug off the sting of rejection, and victory may yet be yours. dlga_minstrel_player_role minstrel_female_player_3|Lady -- I will speak bluntly. Most of the lords of this land are looking for a demure maiden, whose skin as fair as snow -- and your skin is burnt brown by the sun. They want a maiden whose voice is soft as bells -- and your voice is hoarse from commanding men in battle. Also, although the lords appreciate poems about love, most also want heirs, and few women can ride and fight while with child. dlga_minstrel_female_player_3 minstrel_prequestions|However, not all lords will be so conventionally minded. We poets sing of shield maidens and of huntresses, of women who forged their own path without having sacrificed the chance for love. I would not tell you that it would be easy for you to find a devoted husband who will accept your ways, but I would not say that it is impossible. dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2 minstrel_spouse_benefits|What advantage is there in seeking a {reg59?husband wife}? dlga_minstrel_spouse_benefits minstrel_wife_benefits_2|Ah! You are quite the romantic, I see! Well, aside from the obvious benefits of love, companionship and other, em, domestic matters, to marry among the nobility brings great assets. You may forge a strong alliance with the bride's family, and a wife may also assist you in manipulating the politics of the realm to your advantage. dlga_minstrel_wife_benefits_2 minstrel_prequestions|What's more, most of the great families of these Isles have at some point intermarried with royalty, which would boost your own claim to rule -- should you ever choose to assert it... dlga_minstrel_spouse_benefits minstrel_wife_benefits_2.1|Ah! You are quite the romantic, I see! Well, aside from the obvious benefits of love, companionship and other, em, domestic matters, to marry among the nobility brings great assets. You may have access to the groom's castles and properties, and be able to work with him to advance both of your standings in the realm. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_meet minstrel_player_advice_meet_2|Every so often, a king or great lord will hold a feast. In towns they will often be accompanied by tournaments, and in castles they will be accompanied by hunts. The feasts provide a chance for the lords to repair some of the rivalries that may undermine the strength of the realm. They also provide an opportunity for families to show off their eligible daughters, and ladies will often be allowed to mingle unsupervised with the guests. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_meet_2 minstrel_prequestions|If you have the opportunity, you may attempt to pay the lady a compliment. This indicates to her that you are a potential suitor, and she will usually know if she wishes you to continue your suit. Incidentally, if you come to her fresh from having distinguished yourself in the tournament or in the hunt, then you may make a stronger first impression than otherwise. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo minstrel_player_advice_woo_2|To woo a lady takes a certain amount of time and patience, and several meetings spaced over a period of months. A lady who is interested in you will often find ways of letting you know if she wishes you to come visit her. Alternately, you may simply go and ask her father or brother for permission. If you do not have permission from her guardian, it may be possible to arrange an assignation through other means. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_2 minstrel_player_advice_woo_3|Having arranged an assignment, you may then attempt to charm her and win her favor. Perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of this is finding a topic of conversation. Most noblewomen lead a cloistered life, at least until they are married, and thus will have little to say that will interest you. On other hand, she will soon tire of hearing of your own deeds in the outside world. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_3 minstrel_player_advice_woo_4|One time-tested mode of courtship is simply to recite a popular poem, and discuss it. This way, you are both on an equal footing, and neither will have an advantage in knowledge or experience. Of course, different ladies will have different tastes in poetry. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_4 minstrel_player_advice_woo_5|At some point, you will be able to discuss directly the issue of marriage. She will then let you know if you measure up to what she wants in a husband. Some ladies will coolly assess who is the most prestigious of her suitors, others will be guided by their passions. Some will look to your companions, to see whether you are the kind of husband who will treat her as an equal, while others will follow the lead of their fathers. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_5 minstrel_prequestions|At any rate, it is a challenging business -- and do not forget, you may find that your suit prospers with a lady, only to have it falter on a father's political ambitions. So you must ask yourself are you willing to risk disappointment and heartbreak? Alternately, are you willing to throw away your standing in society, to make enemies of allies, in pursuit of a forbidden love? Because if you are, then perhaps some day we will write poems about you. dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2 minstrel_job_description|What is it that you poets and musicians do again? dlga_minstrel_job_description minstrel_courtship_prequestions|I compose and write songs for the lords of the land, and their ladies.

Farewell. dlga_trainer_combat_begin trainer_talk_combat|What do you want to know? dlga_trainer_combat_pretalk trainer_talk_combat|What else do you want to know? dlga_trainer_talk_combat trainer_explain_defense|Tell me about defending myself. dlga_trainer_talk_combat trainer_explain_attack|Tell me about attacking with weapons. dlga_trainer_talk_combat trainer_explain_horseback|Tell me about fighting on horseback. dlga_trainer_talk_combat trainer_pretalk|I guess I know all the theory I need. Let's talk about something else. dlga_trainer_explain_defense trainer_explain_defense_2|Good question. The first thing you should know as a fighter is how to defend yourself. Keeping yourself out of harm's way is the first rule of combat, and it is much more important than giving harm to others. Everybody can swing a sword around and hope to cut some flesh, but only those fighters that are experts at defense live to tell of it. dlga_trainer_explain_defense_2 trainer_explain_defense_3|Now. Defending yourself is easiest if you are equipped with a shield. Just block with your shield. [Hold down the right mouse button to defend yourself with the shield.] In this state, you will be able to deflect all attacks that come from your front. However, you will still be open to strikes from your sides or your back. dlga_trainer_explain_defense_3 trainer_explain_defense_4|What if I don't have a shield? dlga_trainer_explain_defense_4 trainer_combat_pretalk|Then you will have to use your weapon to block your opponent. This is a bit more difficult than defending with a shield. Defending with a weapon, you can block against only ONE attack direction. That is, you block against either overhead swings, side swings or thrusts. Therefore you must watch your opponent carefully and start to block AFTER he starts his attack. In this way you will be able to block against the direction of his current attack. If you start to block BEFORE he makes his move, he may just attack in another direction than the one you are blocking against and score a hit. dlga_trainer_explain_attack trainer_explain_attack_2|Good question. Attacking is the best defence, they say. A tactic many fighters find useful is taking an offensive stance and readying your weapon for attack, waiting for the right moment for swinging it. [You can ready your weapon for attack by pressing and holding down the left mouse button.] dlga_trainer_explain_attack_2 trainer_explain_attack_3|That sounds useful. dlga_trainer_explain_attack_3 trainer_explain_attack_4|It is a good tactic, but remember that, your opponent may see that and take a defensive stance against the direction you are swinging your weapon. If that happens, you must break your attack and quickly attack from another direction [You may cancel your current attack by quickly tapping the right mouse button]. dlga_trainer_explain_attack_4 trainer_explain_attack_5|If my opponent is defending against the direction I am attacking from, I will break and use another direction. dlga_trainer_explain_attack_5 trainer_combat_pretalk|Yes, selecting the direction you swing your weapon is a crucial skill. There are four main directions you may use right swing, left swing, overhead swing and thrust. You must use each one wisely. [to control your swing direction with default controls, move your mouse in the direction you want to swing from as you press the left mouse button]. dlga_trainer_explain_horseback trainer_combat_pretalk|Very good question. A horse may be a warrior's most powerful weapon in combat. It gives you speed, height, power and initiative. A lot of deadly weapons will become even deadlier on horseback. However you must pay particular attention to horse-mounted enemies couching their lances, as they may take down any opponent in one hit. [To use the couched lance yourself, wield a lance or similar weapon, and speed up your horse without pressing attack or defense buttons. after you reach a speed, you'll lower your lance. Then try to target your enemies by maneuvering your horse.] dlga_trainer_practice_1 trainer_practice_1|I train novices in four stages, each tougher than the one before.

So you now owe me that money. dlga_mayor_begin close_window.1|{playername} -- I am in your debt for bringing back my friend's daughter. Please take these {reg8} coins that I promised you.

You are the lord of this town, and no one is going to stop you. dlga_mayor_investment_possible mayor_investment|Well... Given your relationship with our liege, {s4}, I think that you will not find many here who are brave enough to sell you any land. dlga_mayor_investment_possible mayor_pretalk.2|Well... To be honest, I think that we in the guild would like to know you a little better. We can be very particular about outsiders coming in here and buying land. dlga_mayor_investment_possible mayor_investment_advice.2|Very good, {reg59?my lady sir}. We in the guild know and trust you, and I think I could find someone to sell you the land you need. dlga_mayor_investment_advice investment_choose_enterprise|A couple of things to keep in mind -- skilled laborers are always at a premium, so I doubt that you will be able to open up more than one enterprise here. In order to make a profit for yourself, you should choose a commodity which is in relatively short supply, but for which the raw materials are cheap. What sort of enterprise would you like to start? dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary|A mill and bakery, to make bread from grain dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary.1|A brewery, to make ale from grain dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary.2|A tannery, to make leather from hides dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary.3|A wine press, to make wine from grapes dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary.4|Tar ovens, to make tar dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary.5|An ironworks, to make tools or weapons from iron dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary.6|A lumber mill, to make timber pallets dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary.7|A weavery, to make wool cloth from wool dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary.8|A weavery, to make linen from flax dlga_investment_choose_enterprise mayor_pretalk|Never mind dlga_investment_summary mayor_investment_confirm|Very good, {reg59?my lady sir}. The land and the materials on which you may build your {s3} will cost you {reg7} coins. Right now, your {s3} will produce {s4} worth {reg1} coins each week, while the {s6} needed to manufacture that batch will be {reg2} and labor and upkeep will be {reg3}.{s9} I should guess that your profit would be {reg0} coins a week. This assumes of course that prices remain constant -- which, I can virtually guarantee you, they will not. Do you wish to proceed? dlga_mayor_investment_confirm mayor_investment_purchase|Yes. Here is money for the land. dlga_mayor_investment_confirm mayor_pretalk|No -- that's not economical for me at the moment. dlga_mayor_investment_purchase mayor_pretalk|Very good. Your enterprise should be up and running in about a week. When next you come, and thereafter, you should speak to your {s4} about its operations. dlga_mayor_talk close_window|[Leave] dlga_mayor_info_begin mayor_info_talk|I am the guildmaster of {s9}. You can say I am the leader of the good people of {s9}. I can help you find a job if you are looking for some honest work. dlga_mayor_info_talk mayor_info_lord|Who rules this town? dlga_mayor_info_lord mayor_info_talk|Our town's lord and protector is {s10}. He owns the castle and sometimes resides there, and collects taxes from the town. However we regulate ourselves in most of the matters that concern ourselves. As the town's guildmaster I have the authority to decide those things. dlga_mayor_info_talk mayor_pretalk|That's all I need to know. Thanks. dlga_mayor_political_talk mayor_political_questions|Politics? Good heaven, the guild has nothing to do with politics. We are loyal servants of {s10}. We merely govern our own affairs, and pass on the townspeople's concerns to our lords and masters, and maybe warn them from time to time against evil advice. Anyway, what did you wish to ask? dlga_mayor_prepolitics mayor_political_questions|Did I mention that we here are all {s9}? Because I can't stress that enough... Anyway... Is there anything else? dlga_mayor_political_questions mayor_war_description_1|What is the cause of all these wars here? dlga_mayor_war_description_1 mayor_war_description_2|Well, to answer your question generally, each monarch claims to be the only one that can unite these Islands under a single nation, as in the times of Rome. Some of these claims are based on a forgotten dream and others are based on obscure promises, while {s22} Saxons are here for one purpose, to conqure and burn! So regardless, any one realm has the right to declare war on any other realm at any time. dlga_mayor_war_description_2 mayor_war_description_3|In practice, to make war is exhausting work. It is easy enough to lay waste to the enemy's farmland, but crops will grow back, and it is a far different matter to capture an enemy stronghold and to hold it. So the monarchs of these lands will fight a little, sign a truce, fight a little more, and so on and so forth. Often, a monarch will go to war when another realm provokes them. At such times, some bad influences who look to enrich themselves with ransoms and pillage will clamor for retribution, and thus the damage caused by war to a monarch's treasury is less than the damage caused by doing nothing would be to his authority... I'm of course not talking about {s10}, as no one would ever question {reg4?her his} authority dlga_mayor_war_description_3 mayor_war_description_4|I would stress again that we in the guild have nothing to do with politics. But if {s10} were to ask for my advice on these matters, as a loyal subject, I would tell {reg4?her him} that while {reg4?her his} claim to all these lands is truly just, even the most legitimate claim must be backed by armed men, and armed men want money, and money comes from trade, and war ruins trade, so sometimes the best way to push a claim is not to push it, if you know what I mean... dlga_mayor_war_description_4 mayor_prepolitics|You may tell {s10} this if you see {reg4?her him}. Don't mention my name specifically -- just say 'the people of {s4}' told you this. Our personal opinion, of course, as to what would be in {s10}'s best interests. None of us would ever dream of questioning a monarch's sovereign right to push {reg4?her his} legitimate claims. dlga_mayor_political_questions mayor_politics_assess|What is {s10}'s policy in regards to the other kingdoms? dlga_mayor_politics_assess mayor_politics_assess_realm|Which realm did you have in mind? dlga_mayor_politics_assess_realm mayor_politics_give_realm_assessment|{s11} dlga_mayor_politics_give_realm_assessment mayor_prepolitics|{s14} dlga_mayor_political_questions mayor_internal_politics|What can you say about the internal politics of the realms? dlga_mayor_internal_politics mayor_internal_politics_2|Well, here in the {s4} we are all united by our love for {s5} and support for {reg4?her his} legitimate claim to the rulership of all these lands. But I have heard some talk of internal bickering in other realms... dlga_mayor_internal_politics_2 mayor_internal_politics_3|The lords of a realm often have very different ideas about honor, strategy, and the way a nobleman should behave. In addition, they compete with each other for the ruler's favor, and are constantly weighing up their position -- how they stand, how their friends and family stand, and how their enemies stand. dlga_mayor_internal_politics_3 mayor_internal_politics_4|Underlying all the tensions is the possibility that a lord may abandon his liege, and pledge vassalhood to another. In theory, each lord has sworn an oath of vassalage, but in practice, a vassal can always find an excuse to absolve himself. The vassal may claim that the liege has failed to hold up his end of the bargain, to protect the vassal and treat him justly. Or, the vassal may claim that his liege is in fact a usurper, and another has a better claim to the kingship. dlga_mayor_internal_politics_4 mayor_internal_politics_5|Lieges and vassals still watch each other carefully. If a king believes that his vassal is going to change sides or rebel, he may indict the vassal for treason and seize his properties. Likewise, if a vassal fears that he will be indicted, he may rebel. Usually, whoever makes the first move will be able to control the vassal's fortresses. dlga_mayor_internal_politics_5 mayor_prepolitics|Now, men do not trust a vassal who turns coat easily, nor do they trust a king who lightly throws around charges of treason. Those two factors can keep a realm together. But if relations between a vassal and a liege deteriorate far enough, things can become very tense indeed... In other lands, of course. These things could never happen here in the {s4}. dlga_mayor_political_questions mayor_pretalk|That is all. Thank you. dlga_merchant_quest_about_job merchant_quest_about_job_2|What about it? dlga_merchant_quest_about_job_2 merchant_quest_what_if_fail|What if I can't finish it? dlga_merchant_quest_about_job_2 merchant_quest_about_job_working|Well, I'm still working on it. dlga_merchant_quest_about_job_working mayor_pretalk|Good.

Bring {reg33} loads of {s33} here, and I will reimburse you for your expenses. dlga_merchant_quest_requested merchant_quest_brief|Well, you look able enough. I think I might have something you could do. dlga_merchant_quest_brief merchant_quest_looters_choice|We've had some fighting near the {s5} lately, with all the chaos that comes with it, and that's led some of our less upstanding locals to try and make their fortune out of looting the shops and farms during the confusion. A lot of valuable goods were taken. I need somebody to teach those bastards a lesson. Sound like your kind of work? dlga_merchant_quest_looters_choice merchant_quest_looters_brief|Aye, I'll do it. dlga_merchant_quest_looters_choice merchant_quest_stall|I'm afraid I can't take the job at the moment. dlga_merchant_quest_looters_brief close_window|Excellent! You'll find the looters roaming around the countryside, probably trying to rob more good people. Kill or capture the bastards, I don't care what you do with them. I'll pay you a bounty of 40 coins on every band of looters you destroy, until all the looters are dealt with. dlga_merchant_quest_requested merchant_quest_explain_2|Well, there is a very great favor which you could do us... As you may have heard, some {s10}s have come across the border to attack our people. {s5} is under great pressure from some of the more bellicose of his vassals to respond with a declaration of war. Unfortunately, while the great lords of this land grow rich from bloodshed, we of the commons will be caught in the middle, and will suffer. dlga_merchant_quest_explain_2 merchant_quest_brief|We are not saying that {s5} should overlook this aggression -- far from it! But if he charges one of his own lords to respond, then the cycle of provocation will necessarily lead to a full-fledged confrontation. Now, if an outsider were to step in and defeat a {s10} lord in battle, then honor would be done, and it would defuse the clamor for war. If the defeated lord were a known troublemaker -- {s7} -- then the {s10}s might be able to overlook it. dlga_merchant_quest_brief merchant_quest_retaliate_confirm|We need you to attack and defeat {s7}. This will not be an easy task, and that outsider would damage {his/her} relationship with the {s10}s, but we would be very grateful. We could not acknowledge a connection with that outsider, but we could be sure that {reg59?she he} would be handsomely rewarded... Could you do this? dlga_merchant_quest_retaliate_confirm merchant_quest_track_bandits_brief|Aye, I can do it. dlga_merchant_quest_retaliate_confirm merchant_pretalk|I would prefer not to get mixed up in such things dlga_destroy_lair_quest_brief merchant_quest_track_bandit_lair_choice|The raiders are likely to have laid up their ships in a well-concealed cove, somewhere along the coastline, preferably next to a small stream where they have some water. The best way to discover its location would be to find a group of Saxon raiders who appear to be heading back to their base to resupply, and follow them. dlga_destroy_lair_quest_brief merchant_quest_track_bandit_lair_choice.1|Bandits such as these usually establish their hideouts in the foothills on the edge of the desert, often in a canyon near a spring.

The watch commander tells us it's because of all the fighting on the frontiers -- fewer men to keep an eye on the streets -- but I'm not sure what to make of that.

Perhaps we can discuss it at a later time and a different place, but for now we're still foes. str_talk_later_sadistic|You should have your mouth sewn shut! Can you imagine what would happen if the other vassals see me talking to you of treason? str_talk_later_goodnatured|So you wish to discuss your rebellion with me? Try that again when we aren't surrounded by my liege's army, and I will hear what you have to say. str_talk_later_upstanding|Whatever my thoughts on the legitimacy of the succession, I am not about to discuss them here and now. If we meet again when we can talk in privacy, I will hear what you have to say on the matter. But for now, consider me your enemy. str_gossip_about_character_default|They say that {s6} doesn't possess any interesting character traits. str_gossip_about_character_martial|They say that {s6} loves nothing more than war. str_gossip_about_character_quarrelsome|They say that {s6} almost came to blows with another lord lately, because the man made a joke about his nose. str_gossip_about_character_selfrighteous|I heard that {s6} had a squire executed because the unfortunate man killed a deer in his forest. str_gossip_about_character_cunning|They say that {s6} is a cunning opponent. str_gossip_about_character_sadistic|They say that {s6} likes to torture {reg4?her his} enemies. I wouldn't want to get on the bad side of that {reg4?woman man}. str_gossip_about_character_goodnatured|They say that {s6} is a good {reg4?woman man} and treats people living in their lands decently. That is more than what can be said for most of the nobles. str_gossip_about_character_upstanding|People say that it is good to be in the service of {s6}. {reg4?She He} is good to {reg4?her his} followers, and rewards them if they work well. str_latest_rumor|The latest rumor you heard about {s6} was str_changed_my_mind_martial|However, your stirring words make me reconsider my position. str_changed_my_mind_quarrelsome|But I think you've talked me into it anyway, you bastard. I'm still listening str_changed_my_mind_pitiless|But when you plea like that, I will deign to reconsider. str_changed_my_mind_cunning|But you know, you're a well-spoken bastard. That impresses me. I'm still listening. str_changed_my_mind_sadistic|But as your silver tongue sings so pretty a song on your behalf, I will not dismiss the idea just yet. str_changed_my_mind_goodnatured|But you make a good case, so I'll try to keep an open mind. str_changed_my_mind_upstanding|However, you make an eloquent case. I am still listening. str_swadian_rebellion_pretender_intro|I am Mordred, rightful High King of all Britons. str_vaegir_rebellion_pretender_intro|My name is Munderic. Some men call me 'the Bastard.' I am a prince of the Franks, but by all rights I should be their king, instead of my cousin Clovis. str_khergit_rebellion_pretender_intro|I am Dustum, son of Janakir, and rightful ruler of the Picts. str_nord_rebellion_pretender_intro|I am Lethwin Far-Seeker, son of Hakrim the Old, who should be king of the Angles. str_rhodok_rebellion_pretender_intro|I am Guipno ap Tutgwal, the rightful King of Alt Clut, and who shall free them from tyranny. str_sarranid_rebellion_pretender_intro|I am Arwa, Mother of Gwynedd and their rightful Queen. str_swadian_rebellion_pretender_story_1|I am the only child of my father, High King Ambrosius. Although I am his son - he betrayed me and gave the title to my cousin Arthur! Why? I am just as strong and fierce as he, and I will have my due! str_vaegir_rebellion_pretender_story_1|My father died when I was young, leaving me in the care of his brother, the regent Childeric. But rather than hold the throne until I came of age, this usurper used his newfound power to accuse my mother of adultery, and to claim that I was not my father's son. She was executed for treason, and I was declared a bastard. str_khergit_rebellion_pretender_story_1|Drest has no business being Brude, although of blood, he is foolish, foolish enough to accept christians as the Kingdoms faith! Pictland has always been Pagan - and it shall always be so. His nobility have tried to tell him this, but anyone who objects is put to death. str_nord_rebellion_pretender_story_1|I am called the Far-Seeker because I have travelled great distances, even by the standards of the Angles, in search of knowledge. Before I came of age, my father sent me abroad on a tour of study at the courts and training halls in the lands overseas. If the Angles are to call themselves the heirs of the Roman empire, then they must act the part, and know something of law and letters, and not call themselves content merely to fight, plunder, and drink. str_rhodok_rebellion_pretender_story_1|The North were a free people once, not slaves, such was the way when my father King Tutgwal ruled the rock - but alas that is no longer the case. My father was deposed by his own leading nobleman, and for years my family have fought a civil war trying to retake our home. str_sarranid_rebellion_pretender_story_1|I was born in a faraway land, to a humble family, I was captured in a Gaelic raid and made a slave when I was but a girl -- but there is no shame in that, for the mothers of many of our kings were slaves. The old King, Cadwaladr ap Meirchion, spotted me in the markets following a counter raid in Hibernia and was struck by my beauty. I entered his household, and there he also learned to respect my intelligence. As he grew older, he allowed me to govern in his stead. First I managed the affairs of the hill fort, and later those of the realm. str_swadian_rebellion_pretender_story_2|I may still love my father deeply, but what he has done to me can not be forgiven. I will take Arthurs crown and then he will be forced to grant me the High Kingship, or die. str_vaegir_rebellion_pretender_story_2|I was smuggled abroad by a faithful servant, but now I am of age and have returned to reclaim what is rightfully mine. Childeric died soon after his act of perfidy -- the judgment of heaven, no doubt. His son Clovis now calls himself king, but as his claim is tainted, he is no less a usurper than his father, and I will topple him from his throne. str_khergit_rebellion_pretender_story_2|According to Pict custom, when a man dies his soul goes to Tir na n'Og before being reborn into this world, but Drest would have you believe it goes to Heaven? Foolish, foolish. str_nord_rebellion_pretender_story_2|My father died however before I completed my studies, and as I hurried home to claim his throne my ship was wrecked by a storm. One of my father's thanes, Hromund, seized this opportunity and spread rumors that I had died abroad. He summoned a gathering of his supporters to have himself proclaimed king, and has taken the past few years to consolidate his power. str_rhodok_rebellion_pretender_story_2|However days before my fathers death, peace was stroke, my family was given the poor southern lands while Caw kept the Rock and most of the real kingdom for himself. My Brother might be happy enough ruling over that patch of dirt, but I know our rights, and we should have the whole country not just the poorer half. str_sarranid_rebellion_pretender_story_2|When King Cadwaladr died, it seemed to the emirs of the realm only natural that I should succeed him as ruler, thus avoiding any danger of civil war. They insisted, however, that I should marry one of his lords, Gwrin. The lords then lined up to give us the oath of allegiance together -- to Gwrin as Commander of the Armies, and to me as Mother of the Realm. For the brief time that we ruled, our realm prospered. str_swadian_rebellion_pretender_story_3|I will raise an army of loyal subjects who would honour their true king. And if anyone doubts that I am not fit to wield power, then I will prove them wrong by cutting them down where they stand, then burning Camelot to the ground! str_vaegir_rebellion_pretender_story_3|Until I have my rights restored in the sight of all the Franks, I will bear the sobriquet, 'the Bastard', to remind me of what I must do. str_khergit_rebellion_pretender_story_3|Drest also thinks people will only respect strength a leader who takes what he wants, when he wants it. But I think that he misreads the spirit of our people.--we admire a resolute leader, but even more a just one, and we know that a man who does not respect another mans beliefs will not respect the rights of his followers. str_nord_rebellion_pretender_story_3|So I remain in exile -- except now I am not looking for sages to tutor me in the wisdom of faraway lands, but warriors, to come with me back to the land of the Angles and regain my throne. If Hromund doubts my ability to rule, then let him say so face to face, as we stare at each other over the rims of our shields. For a warrior can be a scholar, and a scholar a warrior, and to my mind, only one who combines the two is fit to be king! str_rhodok_rebellion_pretender_story_3|I've tried convincing my family to keep fighting, but to no avail - so here I am, trying to rally support for our cause in the southern kingdoms and retake my fathers throne. str_sarranid_rebellion_pretender_story_3|But alas, Gwrin was soon killed in a skirmish with the Gaelics. Had I known of his death in time, I would have been able to prepare myself against any possibility of betrayal. But alas, my husband's treacherous nephew Cadwallon came riding with his men, still covered with the dust and blood of the battlefield, drove me from the palace at swordpoint and proclaimed himself King of all Gwynedd. So be it -- I shall gather an army of my own, and return him the favor. str_swadian_rebellion_monarch_response_1|Mordred thinks he should be High King? Well, King Ambrosius has a kind heart, and loves his son deeply, but a good-hearted king who doesn't use his head can be a curse to his people. Mordred may tell you stories of hereditary claims, but in truth the high kingship has always gone to the strongest, and Mordred - bless his heart, is no warrior... str_vaegir_rebellion_monarch_response_1|Were Munderic to come to me in peace, I would laden him with titles and honours, and he would become the greatest of my vassals. But as he comes in war, I will drag him before me in chains and make him acknowledge me as rightful sovereign, then cut his tongue from his mouth so that he cannot recant. str_khergit_rebellion_monarch_response_1|Now there is rebellions brewing all across the lands as Pagan's rise up to overthrow this fool, it is time for a leader to rise, to take the throne and return my people to the old ways. str_nord_rebellion_monarch_response_1|Lethwin 'Far-Seeker'? Lethwin Inkfingers, is more like it. Perhaps you have heard the expression, 'Unhappy is the land whose king is a child.' Unhappy too is the land whose king is a student. You want the Angles to be ruled by a beardless youth, whose hand bears no callouses left by a sword's grip, who has never stood in a shield wall? If Lethwin were king, his thanes would laugh at him to his face! str_rhodok_rebellion_monarch_response_1|No doubt Guipno told you that I defiled his fathers claims and stole the throne. Well, let me tell you something. Tutgwal was a bad king, not wicked or evil perhaps, but bad just the same. A man who has little interest in ruling, allows his Kingdom to suffer. The people need leadership, leadership sees them throu wars and winters, not empty liberties that hurt the realm. str_sarranid_rebellion_monarch_response_1|Our scholars have long agreed that there is one overriding principle in politics. Men should accept the authority of the ruler, because tyranny is better than civil war. It was for that reason that I accepted the authority of Cadwaladr, to whom I gave my oath as co-rulers. str_swadian_rebellion_monarch_response_2|If we lived in a time of peace I would have no issue with Mordred holding this title, but you may recall this is not a time of peace - Saxons have landed on our shores with the sole mission to crush us underfoot. This is a time for warrior kings, not silly boys who care more for titles then driving these heathends from our shores. str_vaegir_rebellion_monarch_response_2|Whatever my father may or may not have done to secure the throne does not matter. I have inherited it, and that is final. If every old claim were to be brought up anew, if every man's inheritance could be called into question at any time, then it would be the end of the institution of kingship, and we would live in a state of constant civil war. str_khergit_rebellion_monarch_response_2|I am currently in these lands gathering fellow Pagans to my cause, will you help me? str_nord_rebellion_monarch_response_2|Old Hakrim may have had fancy ideas about how to dispose of his kingdom, but it is not just royal blood that makes a King of the Angles. I am king by acclamation of the thanes, and by right of being the strongest. That counts for more than blood, and woe to any man in this land who says otherwise. str_rhodok_rebellion_monarch_response_2|The only liberty that concerns them is their liberty to grow fat and feed their families. Something I provide while my men keep them safe, always scaning the horizon for burning villages, and shedding our blood to keep the farms open and the crops growing. Here's an idea -- why doesn't this Guipno return to the lands I've given him and do the same for his people as I do for mine?' str_sarranid_rebellion_monarch_response_2|You should know, however, that Arwa was not chosen as Cadwaladr 's partner because of her wisdom or love of justice. No, she was chosen because she was a witch, who could transform men like Cadwaladr into stammering fools. No matter -- I was true to my oath, and respected her usurpation, until the very hour that it was invalidated by the death of her puppet. Now she must respect mine. str_courtship_comment_conventional_generic|is a very well-bred sort str_courtship_comment_adventurous_generic|seems decent enough str_courtship_comment_otherworldly_generic|is most polite and attentive str_courtship_comment_ambitious_generic|lacks drive -- but perhaps that may be remedied str_courtship_comment_moralist_generic|seems to be a man of good character str_feast_description|scant str_feast_description_2|meager str_feast_description_3|barely adequate str_feast_description_4|sufficient str_feast_description_5|bountiful str_feast_description_6|magnificent str_feast_lengthy_description_1|The food you provided was insufficient for your guests and their retinues, forcing them to purchase their sustenance from the surrounding countryside at grossly inflated prices. The consensus among those who attended was that you failed to do your duty as a host, diminishing both their trust in you and your overall reputation. str_feast_lengthy_description_2|The food and drink you provided eventually ran out, forcing some guests to either buy their own from passing peddlars, or send some of their retinue home early. The more charitable attributed the shortfall to poor planning rather than meanness, but either way, it did your reputation no good. str_feast_lengthy_description_3|The food and drink you provided was adequate for your noble guests, although some of the commoners in their retinues went without. You are establishing a reputation as one who has at least a grasp of your social obligations as a noble. str_feast_lengthy_description_4|You have provided enough food and drink, and with sufficient varieties, to do yourself credit.

Your guests lavish praise upon you for your generosity, and for your understanding of the social obligations of your rank.

Happy Xmas (War Is Over) 1971年12月10日 作詞・作曲ジョン・レノン 何故クリスマスソングで反戦を歌うのと思っていたが、クリスマスとは日本の感覚だと正月のようなもので、家族で過ごすものと相場が決まっているのですね。 クリスマス＝家族＝平和 だから、クリスマスを祝うと同時に平和を祈ろうと言う・・・西洋の方ならわかりやすいテーマなのかもしれません。 ちなみに、邦題は『戦争は終わった』となっていますが、私はなんとなくひっかかります。別に文法的に変とかではないのですが・・・（近い未来or始まっても）戦争は終わるとするのが、War is over, if you want it と言う歌詞にこめられた意味のような気がします。 ↓ジョン・レノンのベスト盤に入っているので、こちらをオススメします。 Lennon Legend The Very Best Of John Lennon 1.

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 markets are thronged with migrants from the nearby regions drawn here by the availability of both goods and work. The rhythm of hammers and looms speak to the business of the artisans' workshops. str_village_alt_prosperity_0|Only a handful of people are strong enough to work in the fields, many of which are becoming overgrown with weeds. 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. Seasonal laborers appear to be flocking here to help with the work and join in the general prosperity. str_oasis_village_alt_prosperity_0|The palm groves are virtually abandoned, and the canals which irrigate them are clogged with silt. The handful of villagers you see look malnourished and restless. 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.

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.

That was most chivalrous of you, but chivalry does not win wars. str_comment_you_let_go_a_lord_allied_unfriendly_spiteful|I heard that you captured {s54}, but then let him go.

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}.

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?

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.

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}.

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.

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.

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|.

パートナー一覧＞Ancient Gear Golem テキスト An "Ancient Gear" giant. Has the kind of appeal that only those in the know truly get. A Machine-Type Deck centered around "Ancient Gear" monsters. The Tribute Summon of High Level Monsters can be pulled off easily using cards like "Ancient Gear Castle" and "Geartown". 和訳 「古代の機械（アンティーク・ギア）」の巨人。通には分かる魅力がある。 デッキは「古代の機械」モンスターたちを中心とした機械族デッキ。 《古代の機械城》や《歯車街》のようなカードで、高レベルモンスターのアドバンス召喚をサポートできるぞ。 概要 デッキ名：Gears for the Connoisseur 入手条件：ガチャ 初期RP：4 レア度：RARE 解説 古代の機械デッキ。歯車街によってリリースを減らしたり破壊してガジェドラを呼んだり、隙あらばパワボンで究極巨人を出して勝負を決める。 3色ガジェットが入っているが1枚ずつしか投入されていない。ガジェドラに効果を追加するために入っているのだろうが、歯車街を破壊して出した方が圧倒的に楽に出せる。 そもそも1枚ずつではデッキ圧縮も少ししか機能しない。何とも微妙な扱いである。 デッキ内容 モンスター(18枚) 枚数 カード名 種類 星 属性 種族 攻撃力 守備力 備考 2 古代の機械巨竜 効果 8 地 機械 3000 2000 ガジェットをリリースすることで効果が得るが、《歯車街》で出すのがメインになる 2 古代の機械巨人 効果 8 地 機械 3000 3000 パートナーキャラ、特殊召喚不可なのでリリース軽減手段を利用しよう 1 巌征竜－レドックス 効果 7 地 ドラゴン 1600 3000 蘇生に壁にと大活躍 1 古代の機械合成獣 効果 6 地 機械 2300 1300 ガジェットをリリースすることで効果を得る 1 古代の機械獣 効果 6 地 機械 2000 2000 《歯車街》があればリリース無しで召喚可能 1 古代の機械工兵 効果 5 地 機械 1500 1500 攻撃反応型罠にはめっぽう強い 1 古代の機械兵士 効果 4 地 機械 1300 1300 攻撃時に相手は魔法・罠を発動できない、打点が低い 1 古代の機械騎士 デュアル 4 地 機械 1800 500 再度召喚すると《古代の機械兵士》と同じ効果を得る 1 イエロー・ガジェット 効果 4 地 機械 1200 1200 サーチするのは《グリーン・ガジェット》 1 起動兵士デッドリボルバー 効果 4 地 機械 0 2000 場に「ガジェット」が存在する限り打点が2000アップする 2 巨大ネズミ 効果 4 地 獣 1400 1450 地属性リクルーター 1 グリーン・ガジェット 効果 4 地 機械 1400 600 サーチするのは《レッド・ガジェット》 1 マインフィールド 効果 4 地 機械 1500 1500 《歯車街》を回収したい 1 レッド・ガジェット 効果 4 地 機械 1300 1500 サーチするのは《イエロー・ガジェット》 1 古代の機械砲台 効果 2 地 機械 500 500 《古代の機械究極巨人》の融合素材にでも 魔法(20枚) 枚数 カード名 種類 備考 2 古代の整備場 通常 墓地の「アンティーク・ギア」を1体回収できる 2 古代の機械城 永続 「アンティーク・ギア」の打点上昇とアドバンス召喚のリリースの肩代わりができる 1 古代の機械戦車 装備 「アンティーク・ギア」にのみ装備可能、600打点アップ 1 古代の採掘機 通常 手札1枚をコストにデッキから魔法をセットできる 1 古代の機械掌 装備 「アンティーク・ギア」にのみ装備可能、装備したモンスターと戦闘したモンスターをダメステ終了時に破壊する 1 古代の機械工場 通常 《巌征竜－レドックス》が居るなら使わないほうがいいかも 1 古代の機械爆弾 通常 「アンティーク・ギア」専用の《リニアキャノン》 1 ガイアパワー フィールド 地属性の打点向上フィールド魔法 2 歯車街 フィールド TCGはまだマスタールール2適用中なので、フィールド魔法の重ねがけは破壊扱い……のはず 1 Ｚ－ＯＮＥ 通常 《歯車街》を回収したい 1 ダブル・サイクロン 速攻 《歯車街》を破壊しつつ相手の魔法・罠を破壊したい 1 テラ・フォーミング 通常 発動時には《歯車街》だけでなく《ガイアパワー》も採用されていることを忘れずに 2 パワー・ボンド 通常 「力あるカードにはリスクが伴う」の言葉通り発動ターンに勝負を決めきらないと、ど偉いしっぺ返しをくらう 1 魔法の歯車 通常 制約も発動条件も厳しいが決まれば強い 1 機甲部隊の最前線 永続 戦線維持に 1 リミッター解除 速攻 機械族の特権 罠(2枚) 2 The First Monarch 永続 日本未発売カード、罠モンスターの一種で発動時に捨てたモンスターの属性のダブルコストになる効果を持つ エクストラデッキ(2枚) 枚数 カード名 種類 星 属性 種族 攻撃力 守備力 備考 2 古代の機械究極巨人 効果 10 地 機械 4400 3400 本デッキの切り札的存在、素材は《古代の機械巨人》+「アンティーク・ギア」×2 サイドデッキ(13枚) 枚数 カード名 種類 星 属性 種族 攻撃力 守備力 備考 2 剛地帝グランマーグ 効果 8 地 岩石 2800 1000 2 地帝グランマーグ 効果 6 地 岩石 2400 1000 1 アイアンコール 通常 1 クロス・ソウル 通常 2 進撃の帝王 永続 2 帝王の開岩 永続 2 トレード・イン 通常 1 地霊術－「鉄」 通常
