[X] Gawain

I like this name. Since we have an egg that I assume we are going to try and hatch after the war anyone got some names lined up. We should stick with the G naming convention I think make the dragon really feel like a part of our family and people. I'm currently looking for dragon names I will post what I find later.
 
I wonder how King blowhard will feel about us getting an heir.
Well he is probably a bit angry since that makes politics are probably now more complicated for him, since killing a rival king during wartime to gain their kingdom is a bit more complicated when they have a legal heir.

As to the actual consequences if he wins, well, depends on how "moral" of a conqueror he is first of all. Also what rules of war are for Griffons between other Griffons, or at least the expectations of "honorable" warfare is expected among Griffon nobility (and probably the commoners as well). Then it depends if he gives a crap about those rules/expectations are, but then he will also have to take into account what political risks there are one way or another (maybe a rival for his heirs if the child grows up and leads a rebellion or the child's descendants do, or maybe a peasant and noble rebellion if he kills a defenseless child, especially likely within newly conquered Griffonia). Then there are also political consequences of killing a prominent League member's grandson.

Easy, Galahad, the Knight of the Round Table that found the Holy Grail. In case we raise him as the brother of our son, it would make sense that the his names come from the same myth.

But I want to name the dragon after a dragon. I am hoping for a girl dragon. I want our son to be the stereotypical overprotective brother. Even when the dragon is relatively grown and much bigger then our son. I just think it'd be adorable and hilarious.

Character Sheet (last edited by QM on Saturday, January 5, 2019)
Name: Garrick Golden-Feather

Age: 33

Titles: King of Griffonia, Inheritor of the House of Gryphus

Description: At first glance, you seem like a pretty average example of the Griffon race. Head of an eagle, body of a winged lion, standing perhaps a hair taller than most other quadrupedal species. It's not until one looks closer that they see the things that distinguish you from a crowd. An unmistakably masculine build, a strong, prominent beak, feathers and fur that seem to be perpetually well-groomed, and a pair of piercing amber eyes hiding a fierce intelligence. But you're no peacock, only known for your good looks; your talons are razor sharp, and though you are not as strong as your wife, you are still an apex predator, and your musculature reflects that. Your wife's workout regimen has also improved your physique, cords of taut muscle now visible across your body.


Martial: 9+2+1+1=13

Diplomacy: 14+2+2=18

Stewardship: 13+2=15

Inventory:

  • Blade of the King: an ornate and deadly sword you had forged for yourself after being crowned King of Griffonia. +1 Martial

Informational: State of the Nation (last edited by QM on Saturday, January 5, 2019)
Economy

Treasury Reserves
: 5650

Net Income: 1800

Yearly Income: 2000

-Tax Revenue: 1325
-Farming Income: 125
-Mining Income: 450
-Trade Income: 100

Yearly Expenditures: 200

-Army Upkeep: 100
-Navy Upkeep: 100



Military

Royal Army
: Professional soldiers, paid and supplied by you, though not particularly well. All have at least a brigandine for protection. 500 soldier battalions cost 100 gold each to raise or replace. Additionally, Royal Army soldiers have an upkeep cost of a hundred gold per every ten thousand soldiers.

Royal Army Morale: 50/100 (Average)

Royal Army Numbers: 10,000

-5000 Swords: Armed with a sword and shield, these Griffons make up the bulk of your army.

-2500 Spears: For keeping your enemy at arms length or taking down opponents larger than a Griffon.

-2500 Archers: Griffons with bows and some arrows. Not much else to say.

-5 Mobile Ballistae: Massively oversized mechanical bows that fire bolts big enough to pierce through tree trunks from vast distances.



Knightly Orders (Self Maintained): In the old Empire, Knightly Orders were typically made up of Griffons of noble birth who joined a fraternal militant organization dedicated to martial excellence, honor, and a number of various edicts of moral strength. These great warriors dedicated themselves to the Emperor and the protection of the common Gryph. Tragically, few of these brave souls survived the reign of Discord. But a new breed of Knights now seeks to serve as your sword and shield, and will rally to your banner whenever you may need them.

The Knights Lion
1 Grandmaster Konrad Hardbeak
25 Knights of the Inner Circle
125 Imperial Knights
300 Squires
550 Griffons-at-Arms
Citadel: The Lion's Den, Griffonia



Navy: The vessels that guard your coastlines and patrol the oceans. Crewed by career sailors, they have an upkeep of five gold per ship, per year.

20 Cogs (Bolt-Throwers)



Auxiliaries: Auxiliary units are forces not part of a Knightly Order or the Royal Army that can be brought into battle alongside both of the former groups. They can be made up of allied nation units suborned to you, units drawn up from the militia, and mercenary outfits.

-The Valkyries: The mercenary band that your wife Gabriella was a part of in her wandering days. Contrary to what the name implies, it is not an entirely female unit, though the gender ratio is skewed a bit more in favor of the fairer sex. Specializing in rapid airborne assaults and furious charges, they're worth every bit of gold your Father-In-Law spent on them. (Numbers: 500). Cost: 0 (Cost paid by Federico Montefeathertro).


Politics

Nobility Opinion: 6/10 (This Guy seems alright).

General Public Opinion: 6/10 (This Guy seems alright).


Roll Bonuses

Improved Army Communications: +3 on certain Army Rolls
Naval Navigation Tools: +5 on certain Naval and Exploration Rolls

Persons of Interest

???: A friendly and strangely casual Griffon female you met at your inaugural ball. Despite having a wonderful evening chatting with her, you never got her name.

Federico Montefeathertro: Duke of the City-State of Urbirdo, and your Father-in Law. He might just be the friendliest Feathersian noble alive, having agreed to back you and your kingdom without question or condition, and hiring a mercenary outfit as a belated wedding gift. You're reasonably certain he likes you, as much as In-Laws can like each other anyway.
