Posts from Knights of Tezoth

Astral: sounds a bit too powerful, I'll nerf this mob.
Revan: this level 1 cutie can paralyze all players on the map. And if he is killed, one of the players will share his fate.

Spirit power is everywhere.

Yes.

The History of Tezoth, Part IV — The Age of Darkness If Eidos the Iron was occupied with laying the foundation for a unified Tezoth, and Silia the Kind-Hearted with its comprehensive improvement, then Ceres the Mysterious hardly interfered in the affairs of the kingdom or the lives of his subjects, and only inadvertently served as the cause of multifaceted cultural development. Satanid the Wrathful, his son who became the new Deus, was in this regard the complete opposite and craved control over every public aspect of Tezothian life.  "Holding hands is the same as committing adultery" — one of the many sayings of Satanid the Wrathful, sometimes recalled in jest by future generations.  Among his numerous innovations in Tezothian daily life were the following: - Clothing worn in public places had to fall below the knees and shoulders, above the collarbone.  - For extramarital intimate relations, the property of such subjects was confiscated, and they themselves were exiled to Faredjia. - The use of profanity and provocative behavior was fined.  - Alcohol, tobacco, and sweets were restricted in sale.  - The infirm and the elderly with no one to care for them were exiled to Faredjia.  - Every morning, residents who did not meet the physical fitness requirements established by the new Deus were driven out into the courtyard for a physical training session.  - Annual literacy examinations were introduced — subjects were expected to have excellent command of the language, knowledge of history, and a basic understanding of the sciences.  - A system of absolute meritocracy was gradually implemented in all spheres of activity, controlled personally by Satanid the Wrathful, his inner circle, and spies sent out all around.  - Every subject of the kingdom was obliged to master some kind of weapon. - Subjects were offered free three meals a day in the canteens that opened everywhere — there were enough cooks and nutrients, but the taste left much to be desired. - And much, much more.  Within the kingdom, many disliked Satanid the Wrathful, which is obvious from the nickname he received. However, many historians agree that the strict hand with which he ruled managed to save Tezoth from destruction. In the 150th year since the unification of Tezoth, the center of the continent, which served as the capital of the Tisian Empire, was subjected to a supernatural attack and destroyed, and from the depths of the crater that formed in its place, monsters hungry for human flesh spread across the entire continent. During the most terrible bloody war in the continent's history, the well-organized and prepared kingdom managed to hold its ground, though not to win — monsters still crawl out of the crater to this day, and people have to fend them off. In addition, the center of the continent became uninhabitable, Tisia retained only an insignificant fragment of its former expanse, and the east turned into a desert, which led to the collapse of the kingdom of Afezeria. But whatever the future held, at this historical moment Satanid the Wrathful fell in battle defending his subjects and the land from a merciless enemy, and in his place came the aristocrats to rule, who took advantage of the ensuing chaos to abolish the absolute power of the Deus. It was from that time that the lord-knight system and regions with a high level of autonomy originated in Tezoth. Before the common people, such changes were justified by the tyranny of Satanid the Wrathful that everyone had endured, but in reality they were all driven by selfish motives. Ironically, one of the leaders of this movement became the Deus's son Iretiret, who failed to inherit the throne — instead, he remained to rule in Duskwing and the territories adjacent to it.

If you set aside the first two points, overall I like this guy's policy.

and from the depths of the crater that formed in its place, players hungry for human flesh crawled across the entire continent

So, are the heroes from the previous exp that came out of the "red square"?

Yes, there is a descent into the underworld.

I keep looking for the master post in my signature, but it's not there.

That awkward moment when you need to know the events of previous expansions for a full understanding. But I'm too lazy to read that many pages of material.

Maybe someone can give a brief summary, although it's not exactly super important — given the nature of events, the new ones are not that closely linked to the old ones plot-wise.

And imagine what it's like for an ordinary character with 3-4.

I can imagine. We're suckers almost every game x)

What was wrong with the second one 🤕

Nothing, I'm joking.

In principle, Nebos could roleplay a villain. Pretend to be an honest and noble Knight, and then overthrow Maria, rape her, and afterwards keep her in his chambers as a slave, telling her in the evenings who he robbed, killed, and screwed today

Roleplaying villains is Arandor's specialty.

I'm afraid that no matter the outcome and regardless of the lord, Nebka will get his head smashed 😔

True.

Come on, how many of these Siths can you actually run into.

Translating from Mage Guild-speak: a lot.

Questions:
1. What is the deal with the ranks? For example, the lord is the boss, that's clear. Who comes next? Where do knights fit into this hierarchy? Are they perceived as: "Holy shit, a knight! Be more polite, men...", or as "Ah, a knight, hey there, ordered to chop someone up again? Yeah yeah, it's just the job".
2. How large of a house can be described? Is a three-story manor with servants' quarters, stables, etc., allowed?
3. And if my knight doesn't actually start hacking peasants to pieces for disrespect, but just gives them a slap in the face, will there be any consequences for him? (question regarding other regions; Revnland is clear).
4. Roughly the same question about peasant girls. What if he uses a bit of force to persuade one who isn't really against "that sort of thing," but is hesitating for some reason?

The inhabitants of Faregia were promised full integration into Tezot, but at the moment, one can leave its borders only with the lord's permission.

I see. I don't want to play as Ukraine anymore, thanks.

1. A Knight is the face of the lord. Within a region, there is no one higher. However, in particularly important matters, subordinates may refuse to follow a knight's orders if they are not backed by a letter bearing the lord's seal. That is, if you, as a knight, tell officers to raise the banner and attack a neighboring region, they might refuse. The attitude depends on the region. Of those mentioned earlier—in Revnland and Tenerezza, they are treated with reverence; in Caboche, friendly; in Faregia, there is a special atmosphere.
2. Yes, you can.
3. Situational. It's better not to ruin the lord's image—it works both ways. On one hand, showing disrespect to a knight = showing disrespect to the lord, but a brawl over some trifle could also be problematic. In short, you need to consider the lord's character and the customs of the region) But in any case, if it happens without injuries and isn't a systemic problem, it will most likely end with something like "**why on earth did you do that, don't do it again, dammit".
4. If they come running to complain later, it will be handled based on the situation. Generally, a knight is more trusted than some random person, but this can be offset by systemic issues, the presence of witnesses (in case the truth is actually against them), and so on.

So when is the capital lord going to appear? Because I've got a little question that's "ripened"...
