If that was the case, then it's their problem.
Golden words! But even though I didn't say them, I was accused of being disrespectful.((((

You didn't really have any. Just the role functionality. Look at the last Mafia game, for example. It was also based on a book. The Game Master could have also summarized the work and fit it into ten posts, but instead, he concisely described the setting and the characters. Short and to the point. Why can't you do the same? P.S.: What we have now, despite the volume, would be much more readable if there were more punctuation marks and they were in the right places. I understand that a rubber keyboard is not the most convenient thing, but you could still try, right?
You know, I searched Google for the excerpt from the book "The History of the Kingdom of Men. Silverlane," and I couldn't find it. And during the game, it seemed to me that the characters were invented by the GM. That's why I read what he wrote. But if he had said, "Guys, my Mafia game is based on this book - [link to wiki]," I would have gone to Wikipedia without objection and wouldn't have demanded that publicly available information be explained to me and presented on a silver platter

A passage from the book "History of the Kingdom of Men. Silverlain" - you know, I searched Google and couldn't find such a book. And even during the game, it seemed to me that the characters were invented by the GM. That's why I read what he wrote there. If he had said: "Guys, I have a game based on this book" - "link to the wiki," I would have gone to the wiki without objection and wouldn't have demanded that publicly available information be explained to me and presented on a silver platter.
No, it was all fictional. And I don't want to read too much backstory. Just to understand from the description who is good, who is bad, and what the fuss is all about. A brief history at the beginning, and a couple of sentences about each character, is enough. Then, if necessary, you can add more before the newspapers.

No problem, just pay for my round-trip ticket to Moscow, because you need it, not me.
Oh, it's just a couple of minutes walk from me, that's funny.
So come on over: let's sit down and chat about your sad affairs!
Added 6 minutes later Master Well, the background and intrigue were briefly explained in the Wikipedia article, but people were too lazy to look there. I copied the information into the post, removed the unnecessary parts to fit the volume... now they're accusing me of "copy-pasting." Apparently, these people want me to retell what the author wrote over 13 years in MY OWN words, and they don't care how much time it takes! (But when I warned that the nights would be long, they got worried! Everyone values their own time!)

No, it was all fictional, of course.
It's not right to call fictional plots "plots based on a book." I myself searched for this book for a long time, then gave up and believed what I was told. ^_^

I'm not familiar with the book, but you could have left only small excerpts about the states themselves, what happened after the wizard left, about the Boxes of Odin, and brief descriptions of the roles, which you did very well. Of course, if a brief summary of the book (or series of books) is not necessary to understand the newspaper. Although, in that case, I won't participate, because I plan to read Sword of Truth myself, and I really don't want to spoil the experience.
(But when I warned that the nights would be long, they got worried! Everyone values their own time!)
And what's the rush anyway? It's even better, more nights - less chance that someone won't be able to send their Night Draft.

Added 21 hours 13 minutes ago Meanwhile, while Owen is trying to find my IP address, here’s a new divine setting that I came up with in 15 minutes while sitting on the porcelain throne!
GAME OF THRONES
To understand the plot, read the following books: A Game of Thrones (1996) (358 pages) A Clash of Kings (1998) (365 pages) A Storm of Swords (2000) (473 pages) A Feast for Crows (2005) (338 pages) A Dance with Dragons (2011) (511 pages). In the Russian edition, it is published in 2 volumes: A Dance with Dragons. Dreams and Dust A Dance with Dragons. Sparks Over Ash The Winds of Winter (working title) (2015) A Dream of Spring (working title) (2018) Or read an article on Wikipedia. This setting is designed for 36 players.
HOUSE BARATHEON
Main King quadruple vote; can execute anyone twice during the game without ending the day Queen triple vote; can end the day early any number of times per game; if Jaime uses his special ability on her, they form a bond; she can win with House Lannister; if Ned Stark uses his special ability on her, the king dies. King's son double vote; after the king's death, he receives a quadruple vote but also has a 25% chance of dying each night; can use his special ability; if it is used on Arya, she blocks it until the end of the game (she bites and scratches him with her direwolf); if it is used on Sansa, they get married – by the way, this is my least favorite character Stannis Renly can search for Loras; if he finds him, they form a bond and can communicate; he gains immunity to attacks; dies on the third day of the game if he doesn’t find Loras. Unfortunately, Mom is making me leave the computer, so I can’t write any more about my setting right now; I will continue later.

Here is a working set for any occasion. Now we just need to come up with the lore and character descriptions.
Iroidal
Mother of Darkness
The deity of the dark elves, whose soul is imprisoned within an altar. The Mother of Darkness protects her servants from misfortune, but in return demands much blood for her satiation. Dark elves perform sacrifices to their deity with enviable regularity. None of them can resist the will of their goddess. Ability 1. Deity. Cannot be killed. Ability 2. Blood Rage. Every kill committed by dark elves (including the blood witch) and every execution increases the Mother of Darkness's blood rage level by one. Initial level is zero. Upon reaching certain levels, the Mother of Darkness grants bonuses to the dark elves:
Level 2 – The Mother of Darkness receives a double vote
Level 4 – One of the dark elves randomly receives +1 attack defense
Level 6 – One of the city's dark elves randomly gains the right to use 2 ND per night until the end of the game
Level 8 – The Mother of Darkness receives a list of all players playing as dark elves
Level 10 – Automatic victory for the city
Ability 3. If the Mother of Darkness is executed, the blood rage level resets to zero. If the level was zero at the time of execution, the deity's spirit leaves the altar and the Mother of Darkness exits the game. Status: Non-DE (dark elf)
Grimbol, Twilight Dragon
This dragon was defeated about 100 years ago by the founder of Iroidal, after which he began to serve the Mother of Darkness and her followers. Grimbol participated in many battles. Incinerating and terrifying enemy detachments, he played one of the key roles in the defense of the city. Grimbol remains the last living twilight dragon. Almost living... About 4 years ago he was killed in one of the battles, and the dark elves had to turn to Necromancers for help to resurrect the dragon. After resurrection, the dragon lost most of his former power, but nevertheless, he is still capable of fighting any enemy. Ability 1. Immunity. Immune to any effect except killing and execution. Ability 2. Dragon Blood. If he dies, he chooses one of the living players. The target player gets the opportunity to bathe in dragon blood and receive +2 attack defense. ND. Intimidation. If the target is attacked, it scares off the attacker, depriving them of the ability to use ND the following night. Prevents the Archdemon from instilling a demon soul into the target. Personal Achievement: save 3 players from being killed. Reward for Personal Achievement: instead of scaring off the attacker, Grimbol will attack them. Status: Non-DE
Ammon, Clan Chief
Became chief at a young age, but immediately managed to establish himself as an excellent strategist. Cruel, but fair. He reads everything many moves ahead, thanks to which his army suffers minimal losses in battles. The dark elves themselves equate him to saints, even though the Mother of Darkness does not approve of this. Ability. Clan Chief. Cannot be executed. ND 1. Mobilization. Forces all city players who are idle during the current night for any reason to apply their action to a specified target if the action is targeted, or simply apply the action if it is not targeted. Players cannot apply an action to themselves. If a player has several actions, one of them is chosen randomly. ND 2. Feeding. Lowers the Mother of Darkness's blood rage level by 1, gaining immunity to killing for the current night (works if the level is greater than 0). ND 3. Check. Compares the statuses of 2 players. DD. Chief's Word. Once per game during voting, forces all players who have not yet voted to cast their vote for a specified target. Personal Achievement: execute a negative role using DD. Reward for Personal Achievement: gains the ability to use feeding for 1 night without lowering the Mother of Darkness's rage level. Status: DE
Alira, Twilight Witch
High Witch. The only one among the dark elves who managed to master light magic and now successfully applies it in battle. Independent of the clan chief, but unconditionally executes all orders of the Mother of Darkness. All enemies are well aware of her capabilities and want to eliminate her at any cost. ND 1. Healing. Saves target from death. Neutralizes the effect of poison. ND 2. Demon Banishment. Banishes a demon soul from a player. Is not subject to attack by the target. UD 1. Light in Darkness. No one dies on the night this ability is used. UD 2. Stupor. If applied to a mafioso, they will receive an additional 2 clues in the newspaper for every kill, and during day voting, 1 additional vote against the target will be added. If applied to a townie, it deprives them of all ND and UD. If applied to a maniac, they gain the ability to instill 2 demon souls per night but lose all defenses and their UD. If applied to the Mother of Darkness - she dies. Personal Achievement: save 3 players from death or demon souls. Reward for Personal Achievement: healing and demon banishment are combined into one action. Can save from incineration. Status: DE
Khilar, Elite Warrior
A fighter who knows no mercy. Hardly anyone can stand against him in open combat. Legends are told of his martial feats. The dark elves themselves fear meeting him in ordinary life. Many parents scare their children with Khilar if they refuse to go to sleep. Ability. Cover. If Khilar is attacked, the attack is redirected to Raival. ND 1. Killing. Attacks a chosen player. Leaves no clues (once every 3 nights, starting from the 2nd). ND 2. Check. Checks the status of a chosen player. Personal Achievement: find 3 players with "Non-DE" status via checking. Reward for Personal Achievement: each of Khilar's kills will increase the Mother of Darkness's blood rage level by 2 units. Status: DE
Eriel, Lizard Rider
Thanks to his riding skills, he can perform the most complex maneuvers in battle. He makes a living breeding lizards, which is a very profitable business in Iroidal. Secretly in love with Alira. Ability. If Eriel is attacked, the lizard takes the attack (if it is alive). He himself is saved but loses his ND until a new lizard grows. ND 1. Lizard Bite. The target weakens and cannot perform actions at night. ND 2. Egg Laying. The lizard lays an egg. If the lizard subsequently dies, Eriel will receive a new lizard after one night. Personal Achievement: block an attacking player three times. Reward for Personal Achievement: Eriel receives an armored lizard with 1 impenetrable defense. Status: DE
Raival, Assassin
Experienced fighter, master of disguise. Can easily sneak up on an enemy and deliver a silent deadly blow. Specialist in poisons. Ability. Poison Specialist. Has 1 vial of antidote. At the start of the game, decides whether to keep it or give it to another player. ND. Stealth. Becomes invisible to enemies during the current night. They can only detect and kill Raival with a 50% probability. UD 1. Stealth + Killing. Attacks target in stealth mode. If the target is not killed, it is poisoned. Leaves no clues. UD 2. Surveillance. Sets up surveillance on a player. If that player kills someone, Raival blocks the killer for the next 2 nights, even if they have block immunity. Receives notification of successful surveillance. Personal Achievement: survive 2 attacks on himself in stealth mode. Reward for Personal Achievement: chance to survive an attack in stealth mode increases by 25%. Status: DE
Layla, Cult Servant
Completely dedicated herself to serving the Mother of Darkness. Regularly performs sacrifices. If necessary, she will sacrifice herself to the deity. Ability. If there is no execution at the end of the day, the dark elves collectively sacrifice Layla. Survives same-night-vote (NNV) on the first day. ND. By choice, removes from the target the influence of a block, redirection, demon soul instillation, or poison penetration into the blood for the current night. Personal Achievement: remove negative influence from 3 players. Reward for Personal Achievement: all four protections against negative influence are combined into one. Gains the ability to survive 1 NNV. Status: DE
Falmer
Inhabitant of one of the grottos near Iroidal. Does not like guests. Possesses a large supply of hallucinogenic mushrooms. Ability. Randomly applies one of the following actions to each visitor:
Sets a corus on them, which poisons the target (the target player will die from poison at the end of the next night)
Feeds the target hallucinogenic mushrooms. The next night, instead of their own action, they will randomly apply 1-2 actions present in the game.
Places a mark on the target. The following night, negative effects from all players will be directed at the mark holder (the mark is placed only once per night. If several blocks are directed at the mark holder, only the first one will appear in the newspaper)
Personal Achievement: feed mushrooms to or poison 3 players. Reward for Personal Achievement: an attack on the visitor is added to the list of possible actions. Status: Non-DE
Krashnak, Goblin
One of the goblins captured by the dark elves but later released. However, the dark elves did not let him leave the city – he'll do as a sacrifice for the Mother of Darkness if needed. For now, he works for the public good, hoping to be useful and avoid the fate of many other creatures who were captured. ND. Yes-No Game. Questions a player by asking 3 questions. Answers to 2 questions are TRUE, to 1 – FALSE. Carves the results on the wall. Personal Achievement: question 3 players. Reward for Personal Achievement: gains the ability once to force the questioned person to answer all questions truthfully. Status: Non-DE
Invaders
Aktaragon, Blood Dragon
A 276-year-old dragon who has destroyed many cities and settlements in his life, both on the surface and in the Dungeon. The mere mention of him strikes terror into all. Aktaragon was in hibernation for 14 years. Everyone had already decided that the dragon was dead, but Cassandra had her own opinion on this. She managed to find the ancient dragon and awaken him. It is not exactly known what Cassandra offered the dragon, but he agreed to help her destroy Iroidal. Ability 1. If he visits the Mother of Darkness, he lowers her blood rage level by one unit. Ability 2. Dragon Scales. Possesses two attack defenses. ND 1. Killing. Attacks a player, ignores block. ND 2. Stun. Stuns a player with a roar; the target cannot perform their actions at night. UD. Incineration. Attacks the target and all its visitors (does not work on Grimbol. The action does not trigger if directed at the Mother of Darkness). Personal Achievement: lower the Mother of Darkness's blood rage level by 2 units. Reward for Personal Achievement: gains the ability to kill the Mother of Darkness at night. Status: Non-DE
Cassandra, Blood Witch
The illegitimate daughter of Ammon, whom the father renounced immediately after her birth. Ammon ordered her mother to be killed and the girl herself to be sacrificed to the Mother of Darkness. At the last moment, the sacrifice ritual was disrupted, and Cassandra disappeared... She grew up far from the city, gradually gaining strength and becoming one of the most powerful witches, but she could never fully rid herself of the influence of the Mother of Darkness. Learning the truth about her childhood, Cassandra devised a plan for revenge against all those responsible for her mother's death, especially Ammon, and to build a new state in which power would belong to the dark elves, not the gods. ND 1. Healing. Saves target from death. Neutralizes the effect of poison if infection occurred during the current night. ND 2. Redirection. Redirects the target. ND 3. Killing. Attacks target, leaves no clues. Finds Raival even if he used Stealth (once every 2 nights, unless she is not alone in the team). ND 4. Trap. Sets a trap on the target (can set it on herself). The first person to visit the target during the current night will be poisoned (the poison effect is similar to poisoning from a corus). Personal Achievement: save 2 teammates from being killed. Reward for Personal Achievement: gains the ability to use 3 actions per night. Status: DE
Cave Spawn
A demon summoned by Cassandra to help in her mission. It differs from other demons by its particular bloodthirstiness, and its shearing sword can pierce even the strongest dragon scales. ND. Killing. Attacks a player, pierces one natural defense. UD. Summoning. Summons reinforcements. After 3 nights, a phantom will be summoned which, until killed, will take all negative effects directed at the cave spawn (including execution). Personal Achievement: kill the lizard rider in the first 2 nights. Reward for Personal Achievement: the phantom is summoned instantly, even if UD was not used. Status: Non-DE
Onyx
One of the "attack dogs" of the archdemon, whom Cassandra managed to win over to her side. The ability to establish a spiritual connection with other creatures makes capturing and neutralizing Onyx extremely difficult. Ability. Changes his status and receives +1 attack defense if he remains alone in the team. ND 1. Killing. Attacks a player. Ignores redirection. ND 2. Distraction. If the target applies their ND to one of the mafioso, the action will not work (once every 2 nights). UD. Spiritual Connection. Links himself with one of the players. As long as the target player is alive, Onyx cannot be killed (this does not apply to execution; cannot establish a spiritual connection with Mother of Darkness, Archdemon, or Grimbol). Personal Achievement: successfully perform distraction 2 times. Reward for Personal Achievement: changes his status and receives +1 attack defense regardless of whether he is alone in the team or not. Status: Non-DE
Spawn of Chaos
Archdemon
Lord of demons, who after long attempts managed to break into the world of the living. His arrival threatens to be the end of all living things. Iroidal is only the beginning of his path. Ability. Possesses two impenetrable attack defenses. Immune to poison and redirection. ND 1. Demon Invasion. Instills a demon soul into a chosen player. The target kills their next visitor and dies themselves (the demon soul remains in the victim's body during the current and following night. Cannot instill a demon into Cave Spawn, Mother of Darkness, Grimbol, or Onyx). Deprives the target of a vote. Not tracked by Raival. Leaves no clues (once every 2 nights). ND 2. Descent into Darkness. Receives protection from execution for the next day (once every 2 nights). ND 3. Incineration. Attacks target player, ignores healing. Gains all of the target's ND at his disposal (once every 3 nights, starting from the 2nd). ND 4. Satiation. Attacks target player. If he kills the target - receives +1 attack defense (normal). The Archdemon can have a maximum of 3 defenses (once every 4 nights). ND 5. Killing. Attacks target player. UD. Arbiter of Fates. Redirects actions of all players during the current night at his discretion. Cannot redirect players to someone who has a demon instilled in them. Personal Achievement: kill 5 players. Reward for Personal Achievement: when using Demon Invasion, the demon soul settles in the victim's body until the end of the game. Incineration occurs while ignoring block. Status: Non-DE
