Many years from now. Not far from home…

“Good to see you again, minstrel.” The innkeep waved the man in, too busy with other customers to pay the wandering troubadour much mind at the moment. “Take a seat by the fire, my better half will be along with some food shortly.”

“I could never be kept away from here too long, after all this is my favourite tavern on the road!” The troubadour inquired hopefully. “Sausages?”

“Vegetable stew, more’s the pity.” The innkeep replied with a shake of the head. “My meat stock is fair slim this week, and reserved for paying customers mind you.”

“But what of my songs and stories?” The troubadour bemoaned, settling down to his favourite spot by the fire. Regulars of the premise knew that the minstrel sooner started with his stories once he was comfortable in his favourite spot. “Not to mention I have sung the praises of this place high and low through the better part of the kingdom, why for such stunning advertisement you should be paying me for the increase in customers!”

“Vegetable stew.” The innkeep replied gruffly, he had no time for the bard’s usual chattiness this busy evening.

The troubadour smiled warmly at the innkeep’s wife when she got around to him, her good-natured wink drew his attention to the extra sausage she had snuck onto his plate. Seeing this his smile only widened, wondering what chapter of the Bear of Romaine he should recount for the audience tonight. He noticed a few young couples, and no shortage of neighbouring farmer’s daughters and sons eyeing each other up. The story would have to be a good one, maybe of the knight’s escapades and romantic exploits in Pascae. Tonight’s audience deserved no less.

This was, after all, his favourite tavern on the road.

LETS FUKCIN GO.

I LOVE YOU FORGOTTEM

First for fucking Vancewell

Monegan, 5th Day of Acrimun, 883 A.C.E., Port Bounty Docks - After Midnight

> Once you have completed the Final Vigil you will join the Drakon Roloi, the Dragon Guard. A place of honour in the ranks of the mightiest warriors of all the lands, allies at courts both foreign and domestic. It is a call to adventure, and it has the added advantage of keeping you out of the Prince’s mind. And keeping you away from the Paladin Sanguine. [Hearty]

It must be nearing midnight by the time your carriage arrives at the Vidra galley, the Litany of Solace, waiting down by the docks, though the Patrikas Ianthe makes no complaint regarding the short detour. Damien passes you a small slip of paper, to pass on to Lady Rabe before she leaves town. It even bears the House Andrei seal, Roselyn must have it (or more likely a copy) somewhere on her person.

“When did you even get the chance to write this?” You ask teasingly, well aware that Damien and Brunhilde Rabe had hit it off during the ball.

“I had to have a little sitdown, take a break from the festivities and networking. I’m wounded don’t you know?” Damien puts on an air of injured innocence.
“Yes, hard work talking to my friends pretty sister. Must have been so taking.” You grin, enjoying your brother’s flushed face and caught-out expression. “You two did seem to get along rather well. Don’t worry, I approve.”

“Well why wouldn’t you? It was more your rugged mountain friend who I was wary of upsetting. And I like her. She’s pretty, she’s interesting to talk to and she’s… she’s nice.” Damien finished lamely, much to your amusement.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear the details of your boyish infatuation over the words Iron Markets. Men, really. But yes, I quite like the little chatterbox myself.” Roselyn rolls her eyes, but your ally in sibling-teasing swiftly turns to stab you in the back. “And you’re one to talk Emmy! Don’t think I didn’t watch your little ‘Catch the Swan’ scandal with Frida Vancewell. Scandalous, they’ll be gossiping about that for weeks to come.”

“Yes, I was a little confused myself. That’s not the -same- Vancewell whose brother you…?” Your eldest brother makes a tsk-tsk sound, the tables regarding needling one’s siblings have turned in his favour. “Cain on the Cross, Emile. You really can pick them! Ros, would you ever be seen dancing with the man responsible for the demise of either of your brothers?”

“You? It’s a veritable mark in their favour. But little Emmy? On principle, no. But with an inheritance like that…” Roselyn coos, gleeful at you visibly writhing under the combined nettling of your elder siblings.

LITERALLY FUCK VANCEWELL

“Be careful though Emmy, your little crush is a viper posing as a woman. And I’m using that only as half a compliment to her.” Your sister continues, a more considered tone in her voice. “I doubt her bite will carry too much venom during your stay in Cathagi, but if she’s not wrapped up by some other suitor by the time you get back… well, it could lead to trouble. And opportunity. That Daubeny girl is the safer bet, though a little boring.”

“I don’t know, I think she was sweet. But kind of sad, like…” Damien seems to struggle with finding the right word.

“Like a kicked puppy?” Roselyn interjects.

“Ros!” You snap as Damien laughs, more at your discomfort than at Roselyn’s description of Mademoiselle Josephine Daubeny.

“She’s only teasing, brother. You know she can’t help it. Besides, I think you cheered her up some. My little brother, a lady’s man. The Almighty really does enjoy surprising us.” Damien shakes his head, but his rueful smile gives way to a more serious tone. “So you’re set on this stay in Cathagi? I never doubted you’d finish your pilgrimage, of course, but a couple of months away from home is far different than a two-year stretch in the Dragon Guard. Two years, Pit damn it… I’m going to miss you, little brother.”

“And I you, big brother.” The two of you embrace, thumping each other’s back.

You and your brother have always been close, but the last few months facing all manner of danger and rough travelling together have strengthened that bond like steel in a forge. True, you were doing him a favour, but you know in your heart that there is no one in Almighty’s creation that you would rather have at your back.

“What? No hug for your big sister this time? Come here you big oaf.” Roselyn is doing a very good job of hiding her tears, but the tightness of her voice and slight sniffle betrays her sisterly worry as she holds you tight. “Be safe, Emmy. We will be praying for you. Every night.”

Honestly, this is a grand opportunity. We should see if we can route communications through Sir Gilbern via Courageous Sky in Pascae/Aubrey as a show of trust. We can also tell him deliver them to Roselyn as his point of contact. Give her a push to flirt with him in person/via letters and they will be married in no time.

Unfortunately not, I’m going into work over the weekend and even during the week it will be unpredictable given the nature of the job. I will try to have an update for you guys no later than 10:00pm AEST each night.

Alright thanks, Forgotten.

Hey cunts. I am the fag that plagues these threads. I think that the fact that Forgotten didn't use a few rerolls during this one fight means the entire quest is railroaded. On top of that, Forgotten is, quite frankly, an imbecile because he (and 90% of all other players) disagree with me on this minor thing.

I will now argue with you for 200 posts about the color of Emile's socks. If you disagree with me I will call you montbrunfag. This is a reference to some argument I had back in the first threads which I expect you to have followed for some reason.

Now I will proclaim that I'm quitting this quest for good (im not ill be bakc here right away)

Going with keeping Courageous Sky with us. They've saved our asses multiple times in the past, and will help us a tonne in Cathago. It'll be rough not having a safety line back home, but even if it takes substantially longer, our family could arrange secure means of communication vis a vis the Vidras or others. Plus, potential intercepted letters in the meantime is bad, but risking losing a Griffinhawk in the transit to Cathago without us there? Not worth it in my eyes.

>>You have arranged for Courageous Sky to be transported home with your siblings. He will be distressed by the separation, and you won’t be able to rely upon him until after you have completed your pilgrimage, but the ability to send correspondence directly home from Cathagi (admittedly quite a trip) will be invaluable. Your family will arrange his safe delivery to you in Nova Cathagi sometime after you commence the Long Walk. [Courgaeous Sky removed]

There is no unmanly shedding of tears during your family's farewells, it is not goodbye for ever after all. You watching the departing figures of Damien and Roselyn slip up the gangway with a stoic forbearance, you only have to cough once to loosen the tightness in your through.

You had briefly considered arranging for your Legatus Hawk to be ferried away home with your siblings, but eventually decided against it. Courageous Hawk has imprinted on you, a privilege that even breeding and wealth alone cannot easily buy. Your feathered friend has proven his mettle time and again, you will not put that beautiful creature through any stress or hardship that wasn’t unavoidably necessary. The issue of a more mundane channel of communications home is a small price to pay for his watchful eyes and protective companionship. Where you go, he goes.

By the time you return to the carriage the Litany of Solace has already lifted its moorings and drawn away from the dock. The whistle of the deck shift change coincides with the signalling from the Port Bounty harbour lighthouse, a significantly more modern and pragmatic construction than the Old Lighthouse further up the cliffs. Although the harbour is easy to navigate it is still unusual for a ship to leave after the dark, but there is no alarum from the lighthouse and the Vidra Captain Wojcek seems to have arranged his late departure through the appropriate channels. Or at least greased the right palms. There is no last-minute platoon of armoured men in Reginate colours or Faction hirelings to prevent the ship setting sail. Even if those sides had been of a mind to ignore public opinion on Young Lord Damien’s return, your sister’s swift departure schedule has given them no time to organise an abduction.

All very wise, of course. But you find yourself distracted as the carriage pulls up to the villa of the Patrikas Ianthe, coming to terms with the knowledge that this is the last time you would see any of your family for years to come. The Patrikas Ianthe’s voice brings you back to reality, her scented foreign accent drawing your attention as surely as honey lures a bear.

“Thank you for you gallant assistance this evening, young man. Your attentions were instrumental in my sale of information, not to mention flattering for an old woman like me. Would you like to come in for a cup of khave?”


“Khave?” You query with a puzzled expression, offering the Patrikas your hand as she steps out of the carriage “But that would probably keep us up all night.”

“Yes, I suppose it would.” You didn’t see the Cathagi information-dealer’s expression just now when she spoke, but something about her tone makes you pay sudden attention. The Patrikas pauses at her villa’s doorstep, giving you a scrutinizing look from head to toe. After a moment of cool assessment, her eyes lingering on your prominent biceps under the taut fashionable attire, the exile speaks. “I have a heavy old book I’ve been meaning to read. Compedium of Cathagi Castes and Origins in History. I’m sure we could pass the time perusing a chapter or two.”

Going with this one, because Ianthe is canny enough and has seen enough of us to know that we're not as stupid as people think. Insulting her intelligence by playing dumb won't win us any favours, and being straight up with her will probably play out better in the next move. Either way, we should probably take a hint from the Tracker Jean fuck-up, and commit to a path now rather than be wishy-washy fuck-waffles.

>I'm reading through the history books of Sworn to Valour's world. Which names am I sure to come across? (Salve Regina, Adam, Cain, and the Dragon are the obvious answers but any others?)
Aubres, Pascae, Montbrun, Fallavon and Ardenne were all major characters contemporary with Adam and Cain, most of which sided with one or the other when the brothers were having their dispute (according to doctrine). Some died with Adam during the Siege of Aubrey, others (and their descendants) struggled to pick up the pieces following Cain’s self-imposed exile. I’ve just realised that I haven’t read their actual names since the vigil at Adam’s Martyrdom, so I’ll need to verify who the founders of these houses actually were.

Relevant to our knight, the most famous figures he would surely know of would include Lady Magdalena Romaine, who later went on to found both the Duchy of Romaine and the Order of the Silver Rose (yes, yes ‘knight waifu gib’). Picking up the sword and shield of her fallen husband as the Deadmen clambered over the walls, she and her own handmaidens waded into battle as the knight and soldiers of her own household fled in terror. Shamed by the bravery of their womenfolk, the men threw themselves back into battle with reckless abandon to make up for their moment of cravenness. It was the first castle in the whole of what was once Ardenne to not fall under the onslaught of this new horror, and would prove the turning point in Night of Three Sisters. Knights favoured by the Duchess often bear sigils depicting a maiden with one arm covered in gauntlet and vambrace. Although Cathagi customs such as tattoos are usually shunned in your Duchy, not a few knights have this sigil tattooed on their own skin, such is their dedication to the descendants of Maagdalena.

>What are some common names in Canton? I'm really surprised that aren't many Cantonian men named Adam or Cain.
Calling yourself after the main founders of the Cantôn Faith is considered pretty presumptuous, if not outright sacrilegious, though plenty are named after other saints canonized since then. The exception to this would be Mater Reginae, the Queen and Head of the Church, taking her title from Salve Reginae. Emile wouldn’t be aware of this esoteric theology, but there is much debate among monks whether Salve Reginae was her actual name or also a title bestowed after the fact. All Duchy houses (except Romaine, being the newst) are named after major disciples and followers of Adam and Cain. Kind of like how Catholics everywhere except the Americas rarely named their children ‘Jesus’.

As for common names, I’ll admit I’ve taken the influence straight out of common European names for different countries. Pascae = Spanish/Italian; Aubres/Fallavon = English (rarely Dutch); Montbrun = German/Austrian, Romaine = Polish/Hungarian. Nonetheless, in any given Duchy a french-influenced name would not be out of place. I put this down to french (Cantish) being a descendant language of the original Cathagi tongue, but freed slaves had a habit of adopting their own family name in the years that followed their emancipation.

>The sight of a lit-up christmas tree makes people think of a warm home, and good food. What are some cultural touchstones in Sworn to Valour's world (specifically Canton), that makes people think of warmth, merriment and so forth?
The celebration of a nameday (normally six calendar months after the birth of a child, given the infancy mortality rate) is the most recognisable occasion during the . The Stonewatch watch in Montbrun is especially sacred, and frankly barbaric, leaving a toddler at the foot of a stone for a night with only torchlight to keep away predators. If they perish, they were never strong enough to survive the life ahead of them. This is the same for everyone, low and highborn.

Fallavon, on the other hand, does have a sort-of Christmas tree in the form of Aeltin Trees. Gifts are usually left at the feet of this otherworldly plants, and sometimes they prove to be an unofficial tradepoint between the common folk and the peoples of the woods.

We have already covered the Motte-Fallavon Festival, and the Summer Tourney is another big event each year (though the one you will miss is estimated to be exceptionally grand).
Canton’s version of Christmas and the Nativity would most likely be that of Salve Reginae raising her two sons. Usually this is a depiction, most often carved, of her watching Adam and Cain play at her feet. This answer in particular could lead to some shocking interpretations in Cathagi. Most depictions show her without any marks of torture other than a blindfold, perhaps to say love is blind? Sadly, as the date of this celebration falls on the same anniversary of the Night of Three Sisters, this is more likely to be a time of mourning for our young knight than one of warmth and merriment.

>What about funerals? (How are they performed? Who is invited? How significant are they? How are the dead honoured? What happens to their body? Are they given a stone, a cross, a...?)
As we have already established, in Romaine the dead are burnt without exception. Some of the grisliest capital punishments involve staking out a condemned man within the borders of Dread Ardenne itself, a fate worse than death. Your Father goes a step further and orders rites to be performed and the slain Deadmen as well, albeit en masse.

The Montbrun prefer crypts, buried deep beneath the mountains with their ancestors. Even peasants are walled up in cairns rather than buried in rocky soil.

Aubrey and Pascae are more typical of medieval funeral rites, only the wealthy get something so privileged as a tomb. The rest are buried. Fallavon is the same for the most part, but some of the more Fae-kissed and ‘old way’ types prefer to leave their dead deep in the forests beneath the root of a tree to return to the earth naturally.

>Among Canton's historical kings, who among them was the greatest?
The name of the first Generalis Rex is lost to history, but the final one who solidified it into a dynastical postion and joined the union of church and state with Mater Reginae was King Marcus Aubres the First. His sweeping reforms changed Cantôn from an eclectic range of petty kingdoms and freeholds (albeit with a common tongue, species and faith) into a single powerful nation. From then on, at the conclusion of the War of Names, the rule of man was never seriously challenged by the Wild. His vision was hardly as enlightened as Adam’s dream, introducing feudalism in increments, but pragmatic and effective enough to ensure mankind’s domination of the continent for the next 600 years.

>Who among them was the most terrible? Who among them reigned the longest? Who among them was the most pious and devout? Did any of them go on a crusade adamant and led one?
King Caspian Aubres the Third was widely considered an ineffective fop and dismal ruler, the disaster of Ardenne’s fall was contained in spite of his leadership rather than because of it.

King Lionel Aubres the First championed the first Crusade Adamant though rumour has it his wife was the one who truly ruled at court, so he could arguably be touted as the most pious and devout. That he shares the same namesake as the current Crown Prince is an irony probably not lost on Emile. King Marcus Aubres the Fifth led an ill-fated Crusade Adamant against Dread Ardenne, not the first but most decidedly the last given that it ended in utter disaster. Since then, only the Reclaimant Sect (many of whom are Romani) have pushed for further incursions into that cursed land.
I'm aware that I haven't answered all questions as fully as I possibly could, but that was pretty much an update in itself. Happy to answer more questions, but I'd prefer it if they come in one at a time.

>Stonewatch watch
Just the Stonewatch, to correct my own typo. And yes, it is indeed a harsh experience. Depending on the region, it can be highly ritualised or truly grim. There is a big divide between old school Montbrun houses and those looking to embrace the more civilised elements enjoyed by the rest of the continent.

>>4405687
Romaine and Cathagi are not on trading terms. Typically, the same ships that raid for slaves in Romaine sell Cathagi goods in Pascae (and to a lesser extent Aubrey). Norsikaans, like your typical viking types, are 50/50 on whether they raid or trade at any given destination. Langland is a trade powerhouse, and a stalwart bastion against piracy along the western ocean. Any piracy not permitted by them, that is.

There is a silk road of sorts stretching south-east from Cathagi, but the lands of the Everwarm waters are largely unknown even to learned Canton scholars let alone our young knight. You will very likely meet warriors from these far-off realms during your tenure with the Dragon Guard and I will even present the option of electing to travel there and go really off-the-map, to places where no one has even heard of such a thing as a 'knight', if that is what anons truly want. I suspect the desire to return home will win out though. That said, I've learnt the hard way not to cement my QM plans too much.

Would love to learn a thing or two from Ianthe, and not just about Cathagi...
I hope we can also "read a book" with Vancewell as well

Ahh man, I remember walking this girl back to her place off campus in college - she invited me in for coffee at midnight and my dumb ass said "no thank you, I have a class tomorrow morning" and went back to my dorm.

Damn, I want to see what lies beyond Cathagi!!! I want to go off the map!!! Why the hell you anons have chosen to go in the Dragon Guard? aaaargggh

So, my turn to ask something lore-related: Do Cantonese people know what is at the north of Norsikaa, the east of Langland and the south of Cathagi, or is map-bro's map the entire Known World?

After our flirting with Vancewell, I think that having an affair with Patrikas Lanthe is the last thing Emile wants right now. His mind must be to busy thinking to our girl.

>north of Norsikaa
More of the Frozen Straits and, according to the Noriskaans, the very end of the world itself. According to them, folk who wander over the mountains came back... changed. Wrong.

>east of Langland
The continent of Canton, of course. But I assume you meant west, which is a complete mystery. Ships that accidentally wander that way report more regular sightings of Black Sails, and no concerted effort to voyage in that direction has ever returned.

>south of Cathagi
Directly south of Cathagi, once the arable land finishes, is harsh desert and arid landscapes. Not quite as inimicial to life as the Sahara, but certainly treacherous to all but the nomadic desert tribes that reside there. They vary from Bedouins-types living in tents to formidable steppe hordes, both a threat and a valuable source of mercenary recruitment. Keeping the desert-folk divided is an important ongoing concern for the ancient city that once demanded their vassalage.

Are some anons really trying to get us to have sex with a woman on the grounds that it will teach us things? I dont think that is the rational Emile would make. Also, why is it that in the majority of quests . anons will try to whore themselves out at the earliest opportunities, regardless of consequences or at times even character? The only time we have had sex so early in a relationship was with Jean, and we got cold feet afterwards. I doubt we would be so eager for another one night stand, especially when we already have interest in other woman and we will probably be seeing this woman in Carthagi, complicating matters. We can get information out of her and have a good relationship with her without being fuck buddies.

>>4406027
We flirted with her before. There is precedent for the continuation of the pursuit. Make an old woman indulge in the fantasy that young men still like her. If we back out now we'll expose for sure that our previous precedents was just for information. At least if we indulge her she can pretend.

Im sure she is aware of the fact that flirtation in such a scenario is the socially approved thing to due when meeting and escorting your escort. In fact, we did well enough not to insult her, but not so well she didn't see thru us, but she didnt mind and just laughed.

Otif we learn the ways if not cuming in her and other sexual moves of the sliver fox.
Even if vincwell gets with child pretty sure she going to gank it in the womb.

I just want anons to stop thinking with their dicks when its not in character, because when they get there way and go against character, they will keep doing it while saying its in character now, because once they vote to have sex at every opportunity, they will defend themselves by saying that that's what the character has been doing before, only they have only been doing it because these people have kept voting for it. Emile still isnt there yet, only having sex once in story and getting cold feet after wards, with the other flirting being closer to the opening salvo for courtship than a sexual proposition and I do not want anons to change him into a womanizer because they want him to 'extract information like James Bond'.

Ah, yes, the "It's not in character" argument. Glad we're getting this out of the way on the second vote.

Knigga, Forgotten doesn't give options that "aren't im character". Write that on the back of your hand so you see it every time you try to type in the argument that an option "isn't in character".

Ge willikers Batman, I never thought of that. Just like how I never thought that giving into ones rage during a duel would be in character, as tensions rise during such things and we could slip, but precedent indicates that iw would be MORE IN CHARACTER for us to to calm the fuck down. Now that I think about it, maybe it would be more in character for Emile to control his emotions and not act like a 16 year old who has been getting eyes from their hot teacher. Or perhaps you could tattoo on your hand "just because its a legitimate option, doesn't mean that there arnt better legitimate options".
>>4406115
We were polite with her. We flirted in a respectable manner. If any woman shows an interest in her and is halfway decent, are we going to plow her? We can also take the groundwork that we have made to simply have a good relationship with her without having sex. Why complicate matters when we can get information and an ally without resorting to the basest means.

>>4406120
Kind of goes against the spirit of our vows not to have bastard children. Yes, I know she is older and likely is barren, but there si still the ideals of knighthood, not simply having casual sex on a whim.

>>4406130
Yes, but not every sexual encounter results in babies. Pull out, have the awkward talk about moon tea the morning after lets be adults about this unlike last time with Tracker Jean

You're the exact kind of voter I'm talking about when I say "jerk off before voting". No, even better, find a girlfriend, and then have sex before voting.

You must be the kind of cringe guy who plays ttrpg and derail the story only to fulfill your fetishes.

>>4406136
You appear to be missing my point. Even if there is no risk of babies, it goes against the principle of the matter. Knights are supposed to be virtuous examples for all men to live up to. Having sex outside of marriage in general is bad, though its slightly less bad if you are seriously courting someone. We have been trying to meet the ideal of knighthood. And speaking of Jean, both of us were rather drunk then, so we weren't exactly in the right mind to decide if we wanted it to be the start of a romantic relationship. You are also speaking in a way more common in the 21st century of the western world, not a medieval world in high society.

>>4406110
There are plants that if you make into tea then drink, will kill the babys.

>>4406145
Please, dont attack the character of other anons as a way of explaining their choices. I also am getting frustrated at this vote, but going after the people behind the screen isnt productive and will only make them dig in their heels. While I do think that that might be the motivation of some voters, I just want us to have fun, be cooperative and try to make sure this story has a good ending with as many people as possible.

>>4406155
I'm simply talking to him the way he talks to me. Nothing dramatic.

Anyway, good to know that there are still anons like who are voting to roleplay the virtuois knight we're supposed to be rather than using a quest to fulfill some fetishes. We may be a minority though since it's summer time.

>>4406087
Vancewell is heavily implied to have killed her half siblings in their wombs. If she gets pregnant then the fetus is getting abortus.

>>4406146
I see Emile's vision of knighthood as evolving pass most strict interpretations into something more grounded in reality. Not less idealistic mind you, but more personal to Emile if it makes sense. Our peaceful interaction with the Fae and taking Jess with us.

>>4406126
> Is worried anons in the future will vote for more banging because "well, we slept with Ianthe" and set a precedent

> Argues that it would be more "in character" to not choose an option Forgotten wrote because there's a "precedent".

> Trying to weasel that all choices are equal, but some choices are more equal than others.

Knigga, you got your lance all twisted. Besides, clearly a Knight of passion with an attractive woman whose company we enjoy with no chance of a bastard is the superior choice.

I actually vote against using it for political favour in Cathagi, though, and would prefer to first ask her if she would still support us if we said no, and then answer yes if she says she will still support us regardless.

Because that would be romantic and chivalrous and keep the night of fun sex separate from making it a political thing. But I digress.

Knigga, we disagree but neither one of us is wrong for doing so. Your argument for why I shouldn't vote Hearty, however, IS wrong.

>>4406160
Well we shouldn't stoop to their level. I already slipped and did the same to another anon and I wish I hadnt, even if it does feel good. Im fine with Emile not being squeaky clean and having some flaws, but the journey to always be better will have enough problems and tough compromises without others trying to get him to overcompensate things.

>>4406130
As its been said the vow dosnt stop us from having sex or other sexual moves with people only that we dont have kids outside of a wife and no cheating on said wife. So if you do the loopholes you can have tons of sex on a whim.

>>4406155
Dude. A) Ianthe uses magic = sterile. B) Emile has a literal Fae in his party, wears the totem of a Monster, and freed Beastmen.

I actually think that he does follow a fairly strict adherence to his vows, but I think that means he wouldn't carelessly spill his seed. Like with whores, or random women. I don't think Emile has the cognitive framework to associate having sex at all as being a violation so much as having risky sex being a violation.

Besides, not like he hasn't broken a vow before and made penance.

>>4406174
>and no cheating on said wife.

Okay now I need to know which waifu is Bi.

>>4406165
Those have shown us being more open minded and letting us see the worth and merit of others. This is us having casual sex with a noble. I dont see how this relates to a positive evolution of knighthood. Temperance is a virtue, and while getting drunk with friends can be a bit excessive, it has yet to get in the way of our goals and responsibilities. This meanwhile appease to just slaking our baser impulses under the pretense of information that we could probably get from her anyway. We have already begun to court two other women, so going straight o having sex with other woman seems like it a bit cadish

A general question to the the anons wanting Emile to have sex here: What exactly is your reasoning/motivation for this choice. Im not accusing you of wanting this quest to be driven by fetishes or anything like that, I simply want to know why.

Is the no-fun police in action

>>4406176
which waifu is Bi.
Well probs more then we would think.
Noble ladys are known to have female lovers, as having children and a husbro is something you have to do and you dont always have a say in the matter.

>>4406179
Because Emile is relative young and human. And is not inconceivable for him to want to have an intimate encounter with an attractive older woman.

>>4406176
Obviously not Daubeny, she’s too timid. Maybe Tracker Jane.

>>4406145
Relax dude, I was acting like exactly the kind of guy you were trying to criticize. Read my post again-
>Non-coomers need to fuck off to akun and set the filter to Teen and search by the 'nolewds' tag. Seriously, edge yourself for an hour before voting, you can only coom afterwards.

I hope I had came off as sufficiently sarcastic, but apparently not.

>>4406182
I mean I could see that, I'd quibble over having a same sex lover while being married making you bisexual though but whatever.

>>4406186
Tracker Jean strikes me as someone who likes her stallions not her mares

>>4406186
Tacker jean is a mybe but im leaning on that shes all about dat dick.
Sliver fox and vincwell im pretty sure eat the pussy.

>>4406174
Some loopholes found it the Vows can help us find compromise amongst them and stay true to the spirit of the Vows without breaking them. Not every loophole helps keep the spirit of the Vows. What would our dear confessor say about this? Would he approve of our reasoning? What about if we encounter a knight who is courting a woman, but clearly have sex with multiple woman on the side? If he has no bastards and he is yet to marry, then according to the by the book interpretation of the Vows, we is doing no moral wrong, despite it clearly being not the case. Just because we can , doesnt mean we should.
>>4406176
You are really not putting up a good defense that many of us our only voting to satiate our own lust.
>>4406180
So, trying to avoid unnecessary complications means im against fun? Shall we wander back into Fallavon because there is more complications awaiting us and that would be fun? Or should we try to use a love potion on the Princess and have sex with her, oh im sure that will lead to lots of Fun. Just because others are voting differently from you, doesn't mean that we are agonist this quest being enjoyable.
>>4406184
Yes, and that is how I have rationalized him going after the known viper and bitch Vancwell. But just because you want something, doesnt mean you must pursue it. I want to get the ice cream I have in the freezer out and have a bowl, but I know that it isnt the best idea to do it. I t may only be one bowl, but it will make it easier and easier for me to have more and more. Restraint is important. Vancwell has the excuse of being one of the choicest peices of ass in the kingdom and a high up noble. The Carthagi lady is older(still god looking) and has far less to her name. If we would have sex with her, than why not any other noble who propasitions us?

>>4406190
being married making you bisexual.
I understand that having a husbro and kids dosnt make you bisexual, as the lady could just be lesbo but has to have kids as thats differnt then wanting ether sexual partner.
But itl be hard for us to really know looking from the outside.

>>4406192
>than why not any other noble who propasitions us?
Because we actually like her and have an amicable relation her unlike any other noble who might proposition to us.

>>4406192
I haven't read any of your posts, or addressed you. So I guess you are

>>4406198
So, talking for two days with a lady and being friendly means that we should accept the propositioning? Because that is largely what separates her from any other random woman we meet.

I apologize if I was making too many assumptions. You were not replying to anyone, so I hazarded that it was a general message about those who dont want Emile to go to bed with the Cathagi woman since our stance could be construed as the more "no fun allowed" stance instead of the other side. Sorry if I came of as an ass.

Meh I asked a question over a curiosity of the larger discussion, defending the vote or involvment in a argument surrounding it is not something I'm invested in.

>> “I appreciate the offer, Patrikas, and I have enjoyed acting as your escort tonight. But I must regretfully decline. Perhaps we can talk tomorrow after breakfast, over khave?” A more chaste meeting by daylight is your preference. You can still attempt to glean some useful information from the Patrikas then, without having to resort to ‘pillow talk’ as Roselyn so crassly put it. [Haughty]

>>4406209
Sorry if I jumped on you man. Just a bit on edge, not necessarily due to the vote itself, just the supposed reasoning behind some votes. Its just that I was worried that there were some anons who would view a woman being bi as a major reason to marry them, rather then an intersting, if small, bonus.

Honestly? To coom. I'm not gonna lie and prerend I give shit about being a true honorable knight and staying true to vows, codes, and oaths like other anons whilst actively undermining them. Only reason they don't just break them is because they dont want to lose the mechanical bonuses of the knights codes. Emile's already not a virtuous knight anyway. He tortures prisoners and suspects, abducts people, courts an evil woman, lies, is a raging retard, and kills opponents in non-lethal duels because he doesn't want to concede defeat.

If you care about rolepaying, precedents, and staying in-character, this quest is not for you and you haven't been paying attention. They don't matter in this quest. Many anons including me have already stated that they dont care if they're being in-character or not.

Rabe.

Sir Rabe.

Heh, here is what I was saying. This quest is full of redditors voters who don't give a fuck about the story and the characters and for the "lulz fun waifu".

It's too bad because Forgotten is probably the best QM on this board but his quests always seem to attract that kind of voters who like to derail the story.

As I said, it's summer time.

>>4406230
>He tortures prisoners
No, though we was willing and going to, so while it is an issue, Emile can still reel himself in.
>abducts people
I cant think of anyone that he abducted that wasn't a criminal who was bringing to court or someone who tried to kill him.
>courts an evil woman
I am admittedly against it, but it can be rationalized as him being young and virile and her being extremely attractive. Plus, while he has heard of her bitchyness, actually seeing it would have far more of an impact and chance of getting thru his skull.
>lies
he actively went and sought penance for it, so hes not aiming to make it a habit.
>is a raging retard
At times, though several occurrences only look noticeably retarded in hindsight, rather then suspect in foresight.
>kills opponents in non-lethal duels because he doesn't want to concede defeat.
Only once, he wasn't certain if he would die and he felt like shit about it afterwards.

You make valid points, but the implication that you are making is that Emile is the scumiest of scum and a stereotypical black knight. You are overall being disingenuous and have admitted not caring whether Emile's actions are in character and thus if they even make sense. Actions that a PC makes must be , to some degree, in character. Overall, the actions Emile has made have been within the periphery of the options that comprise his developing character. You meanwhile seem to have zeroed in on those from isolated incedents just to excuse your desire.

Not to mention our opponent was intact the moment before it happen. A good lesson on how a duel can turn lethal in a second.

Forgotten does not deserve this

>>4406230
Is this the guy who was throwing a tantrum towards everyone at the end of last thread?

>>4405521
>> “Well… in the interests of education, Ma Belle Ianthe, please lead the way…” You’re beginning to suspect that ‘would you like to read my book’ is some sort of universal female line from the Wastelands to Cathagi. This doesn’t seem to be a long-term entanglement, and the Patrikas really is quite fetching for someone her age… [Hearty]

Faggot

>>4406336
That guy cared about in character descisions and raged that pepole werent putting thought into their choices. This guy appears to not care at all about character and seems to think at that each error we have made is indicative that Emile is the archetypal Black Knight and has the character of a copper-clipper.

>>4406337
Smellls like samefagging.

>>4406354
Smells like someone wrote a strawman to rage against.

Or an Anon who genuinely thinks that way.

Since the other 30 votes for staying the night have good reasons for doing so, I feel it's cherrypicking if you choose to only argue against him instead of everyone else regardless if it's someone pretending to be a strawman or an Anon whose reasons coincidentally fit all things you claim to be the secret reasons people are voting for an option literally written in by Forgotten himself, so it's not like he "doesn't deserve" anons who pick the options that he, once again, provided himself.

>>4406337
Knibba, link to a previous ID for your vote to count.

>>4406376
Yeah, he could be a strawman. If so, than I wish that he would stop. I try to convince people to my way of thought via attempts at reasoning, rather than making it seem that the other side is nothing but a bunch of idiots that want to degrade the quest. While I think there are some like that, I assume that the large majority are invested in the quest and want things to turn out alright. If he is real , than he can just get bent.
