Posts from Knights of Tezoth

As I have already mentioned, the actual start is expected in about a month; until then, I will be updating the thread in fragments.

Mainland Map:

- The Clans of Dawn are independent of one another.
- Tisia and Sithia are kingdoms.
- Everything located in the southern part consists of regions of the kingdom of Tezot (the same name as the continent itself), where the new stories will begin.

Mainland Topography:

*By "fields," it is meant cultivated land used for producing food.

Each player will need to choose one ruler (lord) from the 20 regions of Tezot and become their Knight. A Knight of Tezot is not just a character, but a status granting them great influence and responsibility. Essentially, a knight is the same as the ruler's right hand, which is why their number is limited: the number of knights equals the number of domains (cities) and vassals under the lord's direct command. For example, if we take a hypothetical Sordgard, there will be only four knights under the command of that region's ruler. Therefore, each player can create a knight character only once—if you lose them, you will have to play as an ordinary character... Beyond their status and unique storyline, knights are significantly more powerful in terms of gameplay and can count on generous support from their liege. Essentially, this will be solo-play; team play is only possible if you manage to join one ruler, and even then it's not guaranteed.
An important nuance—a knight must originate from the region whose ruler they serve; i.e., if you are a knight of Sordgard, you must be born and raised in one of its four cities. The only exception is the capital, where origin does not matter and even a foreigner can become a knight. Additionally, every knight has a special title, "Knight of *something*"—this can be created when writing your quenta, but it should be coordinated with the GM in advance, as from a plot perspective, the title is granted by the lord, not the knight themselves.

That's all for now; if you feel like it, I welcome any discussion if there is something to talk about.

Features
- Base characteristics are equal to 10.
- Knights of Tezoth receive +2 to trainability and +25 to characteristics for free distribution, but no more than +15 to a single characteristic. 
- Morale dropping to 0 forces the character to stop fighting.
- Arrows are not consumed, but simply occupy a slot of a secondary or second weapon.
- Base accuracy: 50%.
- Defense reduces damage from any type of damage unless stated otherwise. 
- Character parameters do not affect the chance of contracting diseases or injuries. 
- Penalty for lacking a weapon proficiency skill: -25% to accuracy and evasion, no crits. 
- Characters created through skills and other similar effects cannot create new characters.
- Each time a character's ally is struck down, they lose 10 units of morale. 
- A knight's starting amount of coins is 50 gold coins, a regular character's is 100 copper (= 1 gold). Silver is too valuable and is not used in this form. 
- The second hand can be used instead of the "other" one; to take something out of the inventory, a full turn must be spent. 
- 1 gold coin = 100 copper; silver is too valuable. 

- Damage bonuses stack rather than multiply.

Anuzish looked "juicier". Oh, what he has turned into after this "rebirth"...

In what sense juicier?

How can one not joke about him with a vocabulary like that?

I approve, but of course, I won't be able to play 😢

Make me a beautiful map based on my second one; maybe it'll turn out great... Just not an AI-generated one. And anyway, you'll be playing—by the time I finish, you'll have already found yourself some plump woman with deep pockets.

You need to look at the specific lords. Are there any undead?

Make me a beautiful map based on my second one, maybe it'll turn out cool... Just not an AI one. And anyway, by the time you play it—by the time I finish uploading it—you'll have already found yourself some plump woman with deep pockets.

He still hasn't made it for me, get in line!

I spent longer making this map than some full sets 😩

You have to look at the specific lords. Are there any undead?

There aren't. This is only a small fragment of the world. But as I already said, I can allow for a custom start.

In what sense is it "juicier"?

It was packed the most.

This is only a small fragment of the world.

Ah, well if it's only a fragment...

I'm a Knight of the Crater of Regret, by the way

Are Convictions planned?

I have an idea, but we'll see. The original one from the end of Ikazkan probably won't work.

Make me a beautiful map based on my second one, maybe it'll turn out great... Just not an AI-generated one. And anyway, once you play it — by the time I finish, you'll have already found yourself a rich fat lady. 

Alas.

Nah) Maybe if I weren't WORKing, sitting on welfare and not planning to sort out my permanent residence, I'd make a map. But as it is, most likely in the near future I won't even have time to play in the Expedition, sadly 😢
