Tsukiko needs to be nerfed.

The gamemaster is worried that she might solo the entire expansion pack, haha!

Tsukiko needs a nerf.

You could reduce the damage of katanas made from Nihon steel so that two-handed characters wouldn't feel ashamed of their, often weaker, thrusting weapons...

But it wouldn't be right to nerf weapons that are crafted a thousand times.

Instead of nerfing her, it would be better to bring the others up to her level.

It just wouldn't be right to nerf blades that are forged thousands of times.

So, the method of steel processing in Japan was more of a necessity than some incredibly cool forging style. Later, they didn't abandon it because of forging traditions. It has its own advantages and disadvantages compared to the "Western" style. Japanese swords are sharper, but also more brittle. A blow to a hard object, for example, is more likely to bend a katana than a "normal" sword.

Instead of nerfing, it would be better to bring the others up to its level.

Even the Araidons?

Actually, Menta’s katana is somewhat unique, as I don’t use “Japanese steel” anywhere else, and I don’t remember how this blade ended up in that shop in the first place.

Not at all. A katana can cut a rail lengthwise. Because each blade is forged in a thousand layers over decades.

Nomination of the Heir
In the 32 years that Olivius Lapis Reim spent on the throne of the Reimian Empire, he achieved many successes and was remembered by the citizens of his country primarily in a positive light; however, the relentless winds of time spare no one.
The emperor's unexpected death last month shocked many residents of the empire, but the government, led by Empress Liatris, was prepared for this and resolved all related issues without any difficulties.
As a reminder, this month the name of the person who will be entrusted with announcing the results of the latest imperial decree – the selection of the heir – will be revealed. The mayor of Reim, Count Elrin Majorelle, invites representatives of the Reimian aristocracy to grace this modest event with their presence in the halls of the imperial palace.
Which of his children could Olivius Lapis Reim have chosen as his successor? The expected candidate, Thiaria? Or perhaps one of his favorite daughters, Sonata or Luciola? Who knows, maybe his choice fell on Rana or Yubina? That would be a twist!

Larian Tragedy
This year has been extremely unfavorable for the ruling family of the Larian Duchy. Larian Gesper, who disappeared from high society this year at the request of his father, the Duke, ended his life far from his homeland – in the deserts of southern Enclessia. He, as befits an aristocrat of the empire, fought bravely and fell as a true warrior.
But, by the will of fate, the troubles of this family did not end there, and following the death of one of his sons, a scandal erupted regarding Larian Heliodor himself. Thanks to the efforts of the commander-in-chief of the Akkerwald troops and the city guard of Reim, Renar Yeager, a conspiracy by Larian Heliodor to replace or destroy the latest imperial decree of Olivius Lapis Reim was revealed. The Duke's motives are not disclosed, but the most popular assumption is his fear that Sonata Reim, known for her ideas that are very inconvenient for the aristocracy, will be named the heir to the imperial crown. This is not to mention the fact that the empire's throne has never been inherited by a woman before, which, with a living prince, might seem outrageous to someone like Larian Heliodor, who was distinguished by his radical conservatism in his views, which he never hid. In any case, Larian Heliodor was caught red-handed. Due to the high influence that the families of the four duchies possess, Empress Liatris did not punish the criminal harshly in order to avoid potential problems for the country. The Larian family was not affected in any way, as were their territories or titles, but the Duke himself had to relinquish all his powers in favor of his eldest son, Twaice, and spend the rest of his days under house arrest. Despite the tragedy and awkwardness of the entire situation, it is quite ironic that Renar Yeager achieved his current position not least thanks to a recommendation he received from Larian Twaice several years ago, and now he has repaid his family in this way... But, of course, we do not condemn Mr. Yeager in the slightest; he acted according to his conscience and as anyone in his position should have acted.

Golden Horn of Plenty
Last month, the imperial treasury was replenished with a huge amount of gold of unknown origin. The owners of this capital managed to remain anonymous, but it is known that their operations in the empire's currency market were aimed at acquiring Rumian. Experts are at a loss as to how to analyze this situation and determine the motivation behind these actions.

Unrest in Nihon
The main temple of Yanagi in Taiho, the capital of the region, was attacked by unknown persons. Although the temple itself did not suffer serious damage, all its priestesses, including the abbess, were killed. The purpose of the attack remains unknown, but this event has dealt a severe blow to the Nihonese people's attitude towards the empire. The situation is further aggravated by the fact that the bodies of the deceased were found with wounds, probably inflicted by ephemeral weapons. It is also strange that the attackers buried their victims in accordance with Nihonese customs.
In any case, the imperial government denies its involvement in this sad event and blames the Onryo. In turn, they have received a fresh influx of recruits as a result of what happened.

Failure of A. Belring's Expedition
Marquis of Red Mountain and Count of Eleana Delirium, A. Belring, failed to carry out the expedition he had begun to the south with the aim of exposing the Enclessian faith and, moreover, lost his life. The Marquis, who was distinguished by an exceptionally positive reputation in the empire, left a great wound in the hearts of those with whom he was close, but there are also those who accuse the expedition leader of relying on mercenaries instead of gathering a detachment of loyal imperial professional soldiers and specialists.
When news reached the empire that Thanarsis may have been involved in the assassination of the Marquis, Duke Brightwind Faith Gillingston appealed to the imperial government to start a war in the name of revenge, but was refused due to the lack of solid evidence and the inexpediency of such measures at the present time.
Meanwhile, Duke of Laithia, Talassius Semis Deim, volunteered to continue Belring's work. The Duke became very interested in the Marquis's notes, which he saw during his meeting with Fiver A. Belring, and announced the possible resumption of this expedition. It is unknown, however, whether the Duke will have time for this, as he is currently busy with another project and an important assignment from the central government – studying the palace of Reisen Reim. The ancient palace was recently opened after centuries, but access for ordinary citizens and even journalists is still not allowed. According to the mayor of Reim, Elrin Majorelle, the interior of the palace is very old and unstable, and therefore poses a great danger to potential visitors. In addition, the carelessness of visitors may damage ancient cultural monuments. Currently, repair work is underway, after which anyone who wishes will be able to enjoy the cultural heritage of the empire.

Morpheus
After retiring, the former mayor of Calvada founded a company known as "Morpheus." According to Alian himself, the purpose of this organization is to help the citizens of the empire in solving various problems. Working in this organization promises a high reward for completed tasks and the opportunity to see the world.

Unexplained
In the territory of Nihon, especially in its central part, an increasing number of people are disappearing every day. So far, the cause of what is happening remains unknown, but we strongly urge residents of this region not to leave their homes alone without a good reason.

The main Yanagi Temple in Taiho, the region's capital, was attacked by unknown assailants. Although the temple itself did not sustain serious damage, all of its priestesses, including the head priestess, were killed.

He couldn't resist the opportunity to finish off poor Ayano...

She's doing okay...

That’s actually a good thing. Now, if I want to, I can open a new Temple and become the new head for the entire branch of the clergy. And then you can be sure that I will train the most ferocious and bloodthirsty units, who will not perform funeral rituals and rain dances with peasant scum, but will fly in squadrons in the sky, shoot from golem-like creatures, and carpet-bomb with talismans, leaving no stone unturned from the imperial bastards and the demon spawns they created.

It seems that the conversation with the priestess also affected Ayano.

What was the ending of the Sylvan expansion?
