About the game:
A direct sequel to the previous game;
Accordingly, in order to better understand the setting, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the previous game;
In addition, certain events and changes have occurred over the past few years, but I will mention them separately if necessary – you can draw conclusions about everything else from the description of the Factions and the latest events of 762;
The time period of the game is summer of 765;
When creating a character, the player must choose an origin, faction, belief, and perk, in addition to distributing skills and characteristics;
The first part of the game will be individual (or almost) – the characters will work for the faction they chose;
Characters within Onryo start on the northern island of Raizyu, the rest start in the capital;
If desired, you can continue playing with old characters, but, of course, they may not fit into the new system, so you will have to decide individually about the state of their skills and abilities;

Sonata Reime's Faction is a conventional name for the active supporters of the Empress who in some way support the imperial administration. Among them are many government members, entrepreneurs, people of science and culture, and other citizens of the empire involved in various fields of activity. The majority of Sonata Reime's supporters are not directly connected to one another, but since the center of this faction is the legitimate heir to the throne and the de facto ruler of the empire, it represents the most influential organization of all. Faction Goals The transformation of Reimean society under the leadership of the imperial family in such a way that all its members, regardless of origin or status, can enjoy equal economic, legal, and political opportunities. In Sonata's opinion, any other social structure is not only unfair but also counterproductive, as it hinders the development of the entire country. Faction Leaders Sonata Reime A graduate of the capital military academy, traveler, writer, composer; since 762, the eleventh Empress of the Reimean Empire and the first woman to inherit this title. She enjoys immense popularity among the people of the empire but is very disliked by the aristocrats. Larian Twice Duke of Larian, owner of a controlling stake in the "Reimeford" company, First Minister of the Imperial government, and closest supporter of Sonata Reime. Many state services (including intelligence) report directly to Twice; therefore, it is difficult to overestimate this man's influence within the country and beyond.

Legacy of the Empire. After what happened on the day Emperor Olivia Lapis Reime appointed an heir, the emergence of a faction of aristocrats opposing the current imperial government was inevitable. The representatives of the empire's influential families present during the ceremony not only witnessed an impermissible violation of the country's laws and traditions but also suffered a serious insult from the future Empress and her associates — something they will not forget for a very long time. Since the trust of the aristocrats was betrayed and because the leaders of the "Legacy of the Empire" faction and their allies see a threat to their interests in the current imperial government, they will take any measures necessary to achieve their goals. Faction Goals Weakening the power of the imperial family and dissolving the central government; granting large landowners absolute power within their lands. Faction Leaders Thalassius Semis Dame Duke of Laitia, archaeologist, historian, and according to unofficial sources — the father of modern alchemy, demonology, and Necromancer arts based on the works of Reisen Reime and the science of the ancient alchemists of the south. He believes that through her actions, Sonata Reime violated ancient agreements between the imperial family and its vassals; he considers that the empire's lands are not something the Empress and central government can dispose of, as they do not belong to them. Accordingly, the landowners of the empire will not wait until they are robbed and deprived of what belongs to them by right. Faith Gillingston Duke of Brightwin, one of the strongest warriors in the empire. He disagrees with many of Thalassius Semis Dame's views and is negative toward the practical application of his research; however, as an ally in the struggle against the impostor, he is ready to provide the faction with all his assistance.

Noblesse Oblige. Members of this faction are those aristocrats who do not support Sonata Reime, but also disagree with the methods and goals of "Legacy of the Empire". Faction Goals Preservation of the empire's cultural values. Faction Leaders Jean Elenheim Count of Enheim. Founder of the faction and its ideological inspiration. In his opinion, at the core of aristocratic interests is the care for the inhabitants of the territories entrusted to their families, and no one can know better about the desires and needs of common people than a lord living side by side with them. His views are based on uncertainty regarding the competence of the central government in local matters and distrust of politicians who come and go on waves of modern fashion and pursue their own personal interests, whereas a lord is tied to his land and interested in its prosperity. Beryl S. Tessen Young Duke of Darkiria, master of the "shining sword", close friend of Jean Elenheim. His father renounced his title in favor of his son after the events at the imperial palace in 762: "My views oblige me to support other dukes and subdue the madness of the insane Empress, but I do not wish to drag the inhabitants of my lands into war because of my probably outdated view of the world; therefore, I entrust this burden to you, Beryl — you are young and know better than I what the inhabitants of Darkiria in this era want and demand in their lives."

Ikigai. Unlike other religious currents common in the empire, followers of Ikigai ideas do not worship gods or religious objects. Instead, they place at the center of their faith the purity of mind and spirit from destructive ideas of materialism and the chaos of modern life. The majority of Ikigai followers are people from technologically backward regions of the empire, as well as those who for some reason have despaired in life — whether due to some misfortune, problems in personal life, or simply depression. Following the advice of a wise mentor, they are healed physically and spiritually, achieve a state of complete serenity, and find meaning in life. Faction Goals Promotion of spiritualism. Restoration of balance and harmony in nature and the daily lives of the people inhabiting the empire. Prohibition of the use of magic and unnatural energy sources (for example, erinium and alait stones), and consigning all relevant information to oblivion. Faction Leader Usami Kyoko Until 746, Usami Kyoko was the abbess of one of the Yanagi temples in Nihon, but after her country's defeat in the war, she moved to the empire, where for many years she gathered new followers around her, through which she gradually spread her religious views across the territories of the empire and increased her influence. Followers of Ikigai ideas strictly follow Kyoko's orders and call her "Mentor", "The Great One", "Mistress", and other elevating names.

Prosperity. Initially, this faction was an association of numerous entrepreneurs in the empire interested in lowering taxes and expanding opportunities in the imperial market, but as a result of ideological clashes between other political giants, in recent years this faction has attracted the attention of the country's non-aristocratic intelligentsia, tired of conflicts that hinder the growth of the empire's economy. Faction Goals Maximization of citizens' autonomy and minimization of the state's role in social life. Faction Leader Ipomoea Phlox As the daughter of a wealthy owner of a restaurant and hotel chain from Eren, Ipomoea Phlox never lacked anything and was able to receive the best education and upbringing that could be bought with money, which allowed her at a young age to start her own business and make her own fortune, which only increased every year until finally the value of her property, bank accounts, and shares exceeded her father's fortune. In mid-763, one of the leading engineers from "Reimeford" joined her company, and just two years later "Citrus" became a serious competitor to the empire's largest company in the market for high-tech non-military goods.

Free League. This organization handles various requests and assignments from citizens of the empire. The work is very diverse and can range from searching for a lost kitten to serious matters like murder investigations. To avoid paperwork and problems with obtaining permits for certain actions, members of the "Free League" act unofficially, which in emergency situations allows them to react quickly regardless of circumstances. For this reason, the activity of this organization is illegal, but due to the prolonged conflict with other factions within the country, as well as the proven effectiveness of the "Free League", the current government turns a blind eye to their methods of work. The people of the empire, in turn, generally view them positively — not least because members of this organization provide their assistance completely free of charge; although it is customary to pay monetary or other equivalent rewards for completing a contract, no one will demand it from those who cannot afford it. Primarily, the "Free League" exists through donations. Faction Goals Assisting citizens of the empire. Faction Leader Verbena Rain Formerly an agent of the empire's foreign intelligence and a spy. He played an important role in preparing the empire's military intervention into the internal affairs of Areid in 762, after which he retired for unknown reasons. His older brother Rudbecks Rain and younger sister Liria Rain are members of the empire's liberation front, because of which Verbena is under close government surveillance.

Onryo. Time moves forward, one era is replaced by another, but the spirit of Nihon warriors does not fade — even after twenty years they continue to fight for their country's independence and, apparently, even time, which no human can control, will not stop them, as even those who did not experience the war with Reime and did not live in a free Nihon are joining the ranks of the onryo. The invasion of oni and yokai that began in 762 and continues to this day has claimed the lives of many members of the group; however, their fearlessness in the struggle against the supernatural won the onryo the much-needed trust and support from the neutrally-minded population of the region. Faction Goals Liberation of Nihon from the Reimean Empire. Faction Leaders Shiratori Kyosuke One of the distant relatives of the imperial house of Nihon; after the death of the last princess at the hands of oni in 762, he proclaimed himself the heir to the imperial will and was approved by the Onryo, thus becoming their new leader. Tokita Yoichi Founder of the united resistance forces of Nihon, ideological inspiration, and previous leader of the Onryo. Inari A mysterious Sorceress patronizing the cause of the onryo; she practices the use of long-forgotten spells, curses, and rituals. Before the occupation of Nihon by the Reimean Empire, she served as an ommyoji at the court of Emperor Akahito. Kamiya Kyohei Also known as Yubin Reime — one of the few foreigners in the ranks of the onryo and the only one holding a commander's position.

Imperial Liberation Front. The center of this organization is the "Ideal Prince" of the Reimean Empire — Tiary Reime, one of the sons of Olivia Lapis Reime and a man who many believed should have become the next ruler of the empire. After the unexpected and unlawful coronation of Sonata Reime, Tiary planned to unite representatives of the offended aristocracy around himself and use his authority as governor of the Nihon region to suppress the alliance of the newly minted Empress and take her place; however, the chaos caused by the invasion of oni and yokai in Nihon did not allow him to do so, and when the situation more or less stabilized, it was already too late — he was stripped of his authority and forced to flee in haste, since due to the actions of the onryo, his support among the Nihon population was minimal and he had no one to rely on in large-scale conflicts. After this, Tiary Reime and his followers began anti-government activities, sabotaging production, threatening the families of Sonata Reime's faction members, etc., as a result of which they were eventually branded dangerous criminals and same lethal measures were authorized against members of the liberation front. Faction Goals Appointment of Tiary Reime as Emperor of the Reimean Empire. Faction Leader Tiary Reime In Alice Corundure's book "Children of the Emperor — Tiary Reime", the leader of the imperial liberation front was given the following description: «Extraordinarily gifted, achieving success in everything he undertakes, reserved and diplomatic, speaks several languages, a remarkable tactician and strategist, same unparalleled in his handling of the sword. Tiary is loved by the people and receives an exclusively positive assessment in high society; no one doubts that it is precisely he who should become the next ruler of the empire.» Now, however, very many would disagree and call him a despicable criminal undermining peace in the empire. Tiary is always accompanied by a mysterious Nihon woman named Yachiru Hakumei, but no one knows who she is or where she comes from, nor what her relationship with the ex-prince is.

Arcanum — this is a closed community of the empire's mages, whose goal is the perfection of magical arts and keeping their secrets hidden from the public. Members of this organization include both officially recognized Wizard (teachers in academies, casters within the empire's armed forces, etc.) and those who practice the study of magical science away from prying eyes (hermits and simply those who for some reason wish to keep it secret). The mages of Arcanum do not belong to other political forces and pursue their own interests, namely — the ability to conduct research without hindrance and freely exchange information with their colleagues, regardless of the laws and etiquette of the empire. The head of Arcanum is the Grandmaster, who presides over the small (first) circle of mages — great masters who have achieved recognition in some direction of magic. Below them are the Stars of Arcanum (second circle) — twenty mages who have access to the organization's secret archives. Below them are the adepts (third circle) — mages who have proven their talents and loyalty to the organization's ideas, and disciples (fourth circle) — students of other Sorceress or new members of the organization. Faction Goals Development of magic and preservation of magical secrets from the public. Faction Leader Dicentra Di Monard Grandmaster of Arcanum, master of light and water magic, Countess of Monardia in Darkiria.

Enclave. The Enclave advocates for the interests of non-humans in the empire — snake-people, fairies, lamias, arids, and half-dragons. There are many different political factions in this country, but in the chaos of colliding ideals, it becomes clear that none of them care about the issues of freedom and rights of non-humans — the people of the empire by force took lands that had belonged to other peoples since time immemorial, keep arids and snake-people in reservations, and never mention other non-humans in their political plans. The non-humans who joined the Enclave want to change this. They study human culture, trying to understand it and use it in their own interests. Faction Goals Achievement of freedom and recognition for all peoples of the empire. Faction Leader Taipan Initially, the methods and goals of the Enclave were exclusively peaceful, and members of the Enclave relied heavily on the help of sympathetic Reimeans; however, the state of affairs changed sharply when Taipan — a powerful, cunning, and cruel warrior from the Day Snake clan — seized leadership by force. He rejected the comprehensive educational program offered by the Reimeans and instead focused exclusively on military craft and human weaponry. Ultimately, almost all representatives of the fairy people left the Enclave, and the atmosphere within the organization shifted heavily toward hatred for humans and blind obedience to the leader — Chief Taipan.

Ah, yes, just like in the previous game, many skills have dependencies on the faction. They haven't changed much overall, but I think it would be better if I provided a table showing what skills are available to which faction.

I'm in. I'm not sure yet if I'll be inspired to create a new character or if I'll have to adapt the half-dragoness I didn't play last time for this.

I want to conclude the story of my aristocratic family. I haven't had any inspiration or new ideas for over a year, and the old ones have completely run out in Nebka's expansion. If this continues, I think this will be my last participation in Heroes competitions.

Don't rush through this story too quickly.

It will depend on too many factors to predict anything right now.

1 skill point and 3 ability points.
The cost of a basic skill is 1, an ultimate skill is 3, a special skill is 2, and an independent skill is 2.

So, independent skills cost 2 points to learn, but don't consume any, right?

Access to abilities:

If there is no access, does that mean they cannot be obtained? But the cost to learn remains the same?

And this, how do skill bonuses combine? Because I seem to remember that weapon skills didn't stack with each other.

How many years have passed there? I will probably continue with my character if possible. How many perks can be taken? Just one? The same question as Heroist. How do the bonuses from skills and specializations interact with stats now? You were planning to make it so they don't stack with each other.

I don't really feel like playing right now, but I need to continue and finish the story, especially since there are some good options in the plot. The main thing is to redistribute the build.

You can't do that so often; let's give our hands a rest.

This will be my last participation in Heroes competitions.

Are you switching to real-life competitions?
