This girl is gonna be going places, I just know it!

Also being one-handed isn’t bad—I distinctly remember my most recent run as a Hellenic Byzantium resulted in one of my characters winding up one-handed and still having a Personal Combat score in the triple digits. Granted she was already a bloodthirsty nightmare of a woman who literally ripped anyone who was unlucky enough to get into close proximity to her to goddamn shreds, but that’s semantics.

We militant feminism now. Fourth slot can be whatever works for you.

This is why we needed the Bloodthirsty Gods facet—so we could become even more of a monster in the dueling ring. Also because sacrificing people is fun and gives us some pretty sweet stat bonuses.

Any Personal Combat scores sub eighty (or really, sub ninety) are rookie numbers.

Welcome to Crusader Kings 2. You get that sorta thing a lot.

Hell, in one of my run-throughs one of my Irish Kings gained the “Valiant Knight” bloodline even though he was the leader of Lucifer’s Own and had personally led the downfall of Catholicism AND had his Andalusian wife (who was brainwashed into joining the Satanic cult) bear the Spawn of Satan. Granted most of my runs are done on Shattered Worlds with custom characters anyway for maximum hilarity, so YMMV.

The Catholics have had two popes from that part of the world. They've also had two Karling popes and one Zaghawa pope. His name was Silvester III and he was a genius adventurer, a mastermind theologian, and possessed.

What are you feeding your popes in your games. Seriously, this sounds amazing. I wish we could've gotten more updates from the West.

Pope Caelestinus II: a cannibal, a madman, the son of Lucifer in the flesh. But goddamn if he didn't keep iron-tight account books.

It’s because of him that historians in this universe can actually learn poo poo from this time period (or at least during his papal tenure) and get more context regarding Rome’s financial situation.

He was also Just in addition to being a Lunatic. How that worked out I have no idea.

I wouldn't be surprised if these two are linked. Maybe in this universe, pedo priests are punished by being eaten. Some filthy bastard was proven to be abusing the power God grants to priests, and, well, the Pope did what he had to do.

I find this refreshingly hilarious given the circumstances the Church faces today AND extremely cathartic for the victims of such abuses, especially since they are so often denied justice or are otherwise coerced into silence. Well done, randomly generated fake world for a medieval simulator. You’ve made me wanna live in this timeline.

Taking into account his high Stewardship, he probably had/made the fairest deals both in terms of justice AND business. His enforcement of the deals...well, there’s only so many times a person can be threatened with cannibalism before they decide to push their luck.

Leave her be. While having an immortal being on our side would be a huge boon for our court, this comes with the price tag of appeasing said being to the detriment of the kingdom’s long term prosperity. Besides, if she wanted to come to us, she would’ve done so.

Let this sleeping dog lie. She isn’t worth trying to forcibly brought into the fold. This isn’t to say we shouldn’t keep tabs on her, so long as we adopt a passive approach when it comes to observation: Interfere when the situation calls for it, but otherwise no contact with her or anyone she meets.
