in honour of those trips, I switch to sword.

Let's see if our sword can be a twisted hunk of metal

>>942651
>A Shield
Shield hero when?

>>942675
Nigga, never. Being a shield hero is suffering NO ONE on this site can handle, and that's saying a lot.

The item isn't something you necessarily have to ever use. It'll be more ceremonial than anything. But..if you wanted you could carry it everywhere you go or use in in battles.

>>942683
Oh
We thought it was a game changing master item that will change the story on what we pick.

>>942651
Shield

>>942686
Who says it couldn't.
If you decide to make it inportant and base everything around it. I won't stop you.
Currently tied at sword or shield need a new vote for one or I roll in 5.

Shield then, writing.

Bow

I personally hope that we don't make it more than ceremonial, since otherwise we go cliche.

:)

>>942694
You like name fags :^)

You take the round shield from the silk. It's made of polished silver and an X formation of dark oak through the middle.

You hold it up as if blocking am attack and see your house's words carved into it on the inside.

"Now, since you are the lord and wield the shield that has been woth this house for millennia. You must now prepare to deal with the houses surrounding us. House Faryarn, Carthal, Yondersea and Vilhelm will of course be looking to gain an upperhand in the region since your father's death has created something of a power vacuum since he was the Marshall of the realm."
As he says this he hands you a scroll.

You open it and see that it was written by your father on the other houses. If you want to learn a little more about these men now is the time.

We need allies, a wife will accomplish that. Who has daughters? And we're the Shield Family for our well defended castle, right?

>>942751
Not really chargen... just choose-fav-item.

How about giving us some crucial info about all of them, and where they are?

Like who is friendly, who is threatening, and what they are in power relative to us.

>>942744
>None of them, I can handle these puny lords
Cus fuck em.

>>942744
Instead of reading our advisors should do their job and just tell us...

>>942761
Yes, that sounds reasonable!

You gaze over your father's notes and try to gleam whatever you can from skimming.

It appears, Faryarn and Vilhelm are a house that has been feuding for years and are both renowned warrior houses.

Yondersea rule the coastal and control most of the import and export into the kingdom.

The Carthal's are the richest house and also the most pretentious. Their wealth only matched by their vanity.

You are called to the courtyard as a Lord has arrived but before you can even get the doors opened to exit they are thrown open. On the other side you see a young man with bright blonde hair and piercing blue eyes.

"Lord Glauris, how unexpected to see you here." You say hardly hiding the disdain in your voice.

"Ah yes, I just wanted to be the first to congratulate you Lord Silas." He smirks and gives you a light bow mockingly, he follows up with.
"Just a shame daddy had to bite it for you to get the Lord's chair."


>"You will speak respectfully in my house or I'll have you killed."
>"You are not welcome here, leave or I will have you escorted out."

>>"You will speak respectfully in my house or I'll have you killed."
Ally with warrior house, whoop him. Who's he to insult us! Rawr!

>>942795
Tell him to go take a long walk off a short pier.

>>942795
> speak respectfully or die
So we take Carthal by force, use their wealth to erode Yondersea's control, then hold a peace conference for those other two where we slaughter all in attendance.

>>942795
>"That's how lordship works you fleshmongering degenerate. Your foot insults the earth it walks upon and your odour the air we breathe. Your courage is such that you cannot slay a hedgehog with your bare anus. Gods fart when they hear your name."

>>942815
Sharpen our spears and swords!

>>942825
> cannot slay a hedgehog with your bare anus
I'm guessing that sounded better in your head.

>>942879
It's a reference

>>942825
I support this glorious post

that's what makes it so good

This

"That's how lordship works you fleshmongering degenerate. Your foot insults the earth it walks upon and your odour the air we breathe. Your courage is such that you cannot slay a hedgehog with your bare anus. Gods fart when they hear your name." You spit at him

He looks at you wildly confused before retaliating,
"The power must have already driven you mad and what in God's name is a hedgehog?"

You scoff but he continues,
"It matters not, your house will be nothing but a pile of sticks before long. When that day comes I will gladly rule over this pile of sticks when Lord Faryarn hands it to me, as is my birthright."

>Birthright? You have no right to Chektri.
>You speak madness. Why would Faryarn seek to destroy my house?

Who even is this guy? Will someone be pissed if we string him up and use him for target practice?

"So you lay claim that my father laid with your mother? Even so, as you are a bastard born, by law you cannot inherit."

You remember your childhood with Brith, a son of a lowly maid and a father nowhere to be seen he was the butt of all jokes. You tried to treat him with respect and offer help, but he saw ut as pity and charity he must have grown to resent you even when he grew to lead his own village, Kremich as a lord. But such resent shouldn't extend to lying about his heritage especially when it implicates your father as an adulterous man.

You push him back and declare.
"So you lay claim my father was also yours? Desperate words from a desperate man, also words from a man stupid enough to forget being bastard born grants you no claim to the titles of nobility. Were it not for us both serving the king I would cut you down now. This is your last chance to leave." You look him in the eyes, fury and promise of death come across easily in them.

His grin turns into a scowl.
"Perhaps it is not I, who desires your seat for myself. Keep that in mind...brother." he bows mockingly once more and exits the hall.

You receive word that Theon Yondersea is almost upon Chektri.

This will decide what your small fief of Chektri Castle and Chazam Village are proficient in.

For further elaboration just ask.

>>943452
>Prepare a welcoming party of our best troops, let us show them our might (Military Culture)
I'm tempteted to go with farming so we can supply armies we support with food and withdraw it as we please. But with that and having a untested lord we would be too tasty a target.

Silas dude claimed to be our bastard brother, string him up for the criminal peasant he is!

>>943464
Nice.

"Gather our finest knights have them escort the party down the final stretch of road to the gates, have our crossbowman over the gate and raise our finest warriors to be training just within the gates. They will learn the meaning of power." You say

The troops are raised and you even put on your ceremonial lord's armor. The black enamel with silver trace fits snugly, a cloak made of dark green velvet and silver thread is placed around your shoulders. To finally compliment the accent you bear your own weapon, one you'd ised in the few campaigns you'd been allowed to take part in.

You go to the private armory and open the dark oaken chest that contains your weapon. You remove your...

Switching >>946370 to
>Bastard Sword, that we use with one hand
So we can take our shield into battle and bash cunts with it like pap taught us to.

We have sword or battle axe. The axe can be one handed if you'd like but near superhuman strength would restrict some other abilities a little or one ability a lot.

>>946690
>but near superhuman strength would restrict some other abilities a little or one ability a lot.
Where does near superhuman strength come from?

>>946730
You'd just be a big fucker. You'd have been born like the mountain pretty much.

>>946690
sword

>>946690
I'm confused. Do we need to be a giant to use a one handed axe?

>>946831
No. But yoy will be to use a battle axe one handed. The vote is for sword however.

>>946217
Bastard sword

>>946217
Sword 1handed

You remove the sword from the chest. Sliding it into the jet black leather sheath on your back you exit the armory just as Theon esnterd the courtyard.

He sits atop a thick legged horse, he wears a cloak of seal skin to repel water and wolf fur lining the inside to keep warm against the heavy sea winds. Beneath his cloak is a chainmail vest beginning to rust around the bottoms where some chains fray off, broken.

"Oi there, it's the Silas lad himself all grown up.." he beams at you with his large dark eyes framed by messy tangles of long black hair. His beard flecked by small streaks of silver and still containing some remnants of food.

"I still remember when your da brought you along to the Lord's Conference near what. Ten years ago? You were carrying wooden swords then.." he looks off reminiscing

"Yes those were good times, and I will ensure that there will times like that again, so let us talk of more serious matters at this time" you say to Theon.

He looks at you with a glint of sadness.
"Aye, you really have grown up. A lord in the making already." He says before walking past you

"Walk and talk with me boy, lets discuss how we can help each other."

You follow Theon through your courtyard and look at the crunbling leaves that decorate the trees and ground. The Winter is approaching, while most would be terrified your King and his kingdom flourishes in the cold.

"So lad, I have a proposition for you. You've so graciously showcased your men for me and I must say, your Da certainly knew how to raise an army. I would ask you to lend me...let's say 200 of the 500 troops you have here. They would travel with my men on their raid ships and return at the end of the winter, I'd even let them keep any loot they've secured for themselves and their fine lord. In addition to that I'd also give you priority on any imports at my docks, which lets be honest, are the only docks worth a damn in this kingdom. Anything you need, you get. Before anyone else." Theon says this as he pulls a hollowed walrus tusk from his hip and sips from the pearlescent rim. He looks at you awaiting an answer

You rub your chin and consider his offer.

>This sounds like a fine deal, I'll have the papers drawn
>How about this instead? (Propose counter-offer)
>I'm afraid your deal doesn't interest me, old friend.

can we know the general layout of of own lands, as well as something of an idea where the other lord's lands are?

>>953373
Prepare for incoming hastily scrawled map

>How about this instead? (Propose counter-offer)

"Gladly, but before that there is a small thorn in my side that I would like removed. Lord Faryarn has recently began sponsoring a man named Glauris, who had the gall to threaten me in my own hall, such a hot headed and arrogant man is bad for business. If some small pressure were to be exerted on your part to get the message across, i would be most thankful, I would even owe you a favor on top of those men I would lend you"

>>953291
>Who will you be raiding?
I think the main risk here is that he is softening us up for someone else to strike. But I'm okay with going guerilla for a while if that comes to pass.

This is the map as far as current players are concerned. Please know this is only a small eastern coastal area of the Kingdom. There are plenty more houses and lord and even other cultures to meet when the time comes.
Pc = Player Character
Fy = Faryarn
Vh = Vilhelm
Ys = Yondersea
C = Carthal

If anyonr would like to make a not shitty version of that map I'd be very appreciative.
