Knights of Tezoth

- I would have welcomed such a turn of events, but alas! In light of recent news, door locks are in greater demand than sharp steel. I can offer my lord a contract to sign - 50 gold per turn in exchange for 10 units of equipment per turn for Canamia - and I will show my exclusive works for personal use.

Wedge of Evil (sword), Damage: 85, accuracy +10%, kills the target on hit, check against spirit. 35 gold.
Whirlwind (axe), damage: 125, additional attack (duplicates abilities). 35 gold.

Unholy One (bow), damage: 80, firing range: 15. 25 gold.
Spit (spear), damage 85, attack range +1, inflicts burn. 10 gold.
Paralyzer (shield), +10% to evasion, on successful evasion inflicts paralysis on the attacker. 20 gold.
Storm Armor (light), +5% to evasion, +20 to defense. 15 gold.

So that's why Rezara is helping Sithea...

Ah, I upgraded my weapon too early.

- We will do exactly the same as with any other army — crush it with impeccable strategy, discipline, and courage. If anxiety has crept into your heart and you wish to improve your chances of survival in this campaign, visiting Eugene after me would be a wise decision. The resourcefulness inherent in my nephew, set against a backdrop of spiritual aimlessness, has endowed him with remarkable resilience in the face of various trials.

Furies
- Bodies covered in fur, faces resembling animals, with animal-like tails and ears.
- Distinguished by an excellent sense of smell and sharp claws on hands and feet.
- They obey the strongest hunter of their tribe, of which there are several on the territory of Ikazkan.
Origin: excellent sense of smell, access to Detection, access to Furious Roar, SP twice as high, immunity to critical attacks, +5 to body, +2 to insight, +2 to energy.

Detection
Removes the stealth status from non-allied targets. 
Cost: 1 AP.

Furious Roar
Paralyzes opponents for one turn, range equals the character's SP. 
Cost: 1 AP. 

Myrdars
- Have no hair covering.
- Eyes are almost white in color, usually hidden behind closed eyelids, blind.
- Possess excellent hearing and strong immunity.
- Live in separate families, led by the eldest members of the lineage.
- Prefer to feed on insects, plants, and fungi.
- Very hardworking, for some reason constantly dig tunnels in which they themselves live.
Origin: immunity to diseases, immunity to poison, access to Detection, Reload and Volley, protection from negative effects that reduce accuracy and evasion, +5 to insight, +5 to energy.

Detection
Removes the stealth status from non-allied targets. 
Cost: 1 AP.

Volley
The character fires three arrows at the selected target.
Cost: 1 AP. 

Reload
Once per battle, when the character's health reaches zero, it is restored once to maximum and negative effects are removed from the character.

- You do prefer to fight in the air, so this information about the Ivilaes might also be useful to you:


Air Superiority
For Ivilaes only. If the target is in the air — melee attack accuracy is doubled, the target receives 500% damage and loses its flying status. If the flying target is a rider on a mount, the attack applies to both at once.
Cost: 1 AP.

-- I am ready to conclude the deal at once, and I shall also take the armor of melancholy, -- Ambrose nodded approvingly, calculating that collecting a tribute of 50 gold from the peasants would be several times faster than rustling up 10 pieces of equipment. -- I see that turmoil works in your favor, and I approve of this spirited attitude! Farewell, and keep up the good work.
Now -- off to the horse fair.

What if Neira quickly clears Ikazkan, preserves the army and knights, and returns to the surface while the factions' first turn is still underway? Victory would have to be automatically awarded to Guildaria....

At least the Sith women won't win then.

Perhaps today I will finish writing the first part of the essay.

- I never doubted you for a second.
For now, the report has only reached the ears of the new lord; Deus was busy with other matters.
- Through Olivus, we now have almost a direct path to the Capital — all that remains is to gain access to the roads of Osha or Micu. - Adata looked around in search of nonexistent spies, then continued in a slightly lower tone. - By the way, certain rumors have caught my attention... They say that before us, His Majesty paid a secret visit to Kanamia to see his granddaughter, but she did not acknowledge him. "I care not whether you are genuine or false — the Deus of this era of Tezoth is me, and I have no need for the counsel of ghosts from the past." What do you think about that?

Yeah, especially against guys who deal 500% damage to flyers.

Does this apply only to ivylai, the ones that are first on the list?

I think she's a beauty, my respects to the current Deus!

Only the Ivyls (first on the list) have such an ability.

Who would you prefer to serve in real life?

The first one assigns essays, and the second is a walking GIF with Lord Farquaad. The choice is obvious.

Another reason why she is the best of the three claimants.

Neira, should I handle Gildaria myself on behalf of the NPCs, or do you actually want to take the reins?
