Is the Countess of Sigmaringen Alexandra or Alexandria? I assume there's a typo in either one of these, but I don't know which one it is.
So this is confusing me a little bit. As I'm rereading, sometimes it looks like the Raven Knights are the ones in charge of Siegfriedhof, and sometimes it looks like the Black Guard are in charge of Siegfriedhof. My research seems to point to the fact that they're two different Knightly Orders, and there are other paragraphs in DL that indicate that that is the case. The Raven Knights are apparently a branch of the Fellowship, whereas the Black Guard protect Gardens of Morr usually. Are they both in joint control of Siegfriedhof? If so that means the Black Guard are already in league with the Fellowship, so why does Roswita not think the Fellowship would be a good fit?
I'm not looking for exact details of the contract that was signed, as funny as it is, but I assume the free passage through the Moot Road thing was not indefinite right? Would be way too much of a blunder for Von Halstedt's daughter to do that. Not something that could be taken advantage of.
I've had a similar suspicion with regards to Khazalid. And if you follow the thread discussion, Boney also often has interesting stuff to say about history/historical development (it doesn't appear that much in the updates, compared to the other two points).
You'd be hard pressed to find witnesses, or at least witnesses the nobility won't discredit, if they want to punish the killer.
Whats wrong with the good old assassination where no one knows who did it?
There's also the fact that in this setting, there's a non-zero chance the god whose power you're faking will get annoyed and either smite you directly or send a few priests/priestesses round to have a 'word' with you.
But thats just so dull and ... well mundane.
Since mummy gold is liable to cause the death of an entire city, this is more an act of terrorism.But thats just so dull and ... well mundane.
What are the empires policies on committing murder by putting cursed mummy gold under someones bed?
If theres no intent to cause terror is it just indiscriminate and massive scale manslaughter?
I did mean pacifist in the self-defence term (though given the very varied interpretations of the word I was remiss in not specifying), but that Shallya's willing to kill those who break their vows is still confusing given the self-defence clause. Is she defending herself from the bad reputation of the oath-breaker's actions? Or is it that if they're breaking her strictures to that extent, she counts them as equivalent to beastmen and Chaos cultists in regards to being allowed to kill them without restriction?
How proactive is Shallya with regards to self-defense? Specifically, I would expect that any chaos cultist (especially Nurgle) counts as a valid target, because they're considered antithetical to life in general and if they're not currently trying to, it's only a matter of time.
I would assume going after chaos and beastmen would count as self defense pretty much always.
I don't think Mathilde can claim to know the mind of Shallya.
If the Imperial legal system works like a normal Early Modern state, they don't actually give a shit whether it's "terrorism" or "indiscriminate mass manslaughter."
This is an important point.
In the case of Nurglites, I believed you've pointed out that self-defence as a requirement straight up isn't necessary. "No killing except in self-defence or against Nurgle." No loophole required.
It gets a bit iffy in the edge cases. 'Cultist' is a sliding scale, from temptation to full-on fallen. Shallya probably frowns on murdering people on the tempation end preemptively.
That makes a lot of sense. So the restriction is not only a matter of Shallya disliking killing (though that is the main factor in normal circumstances), it's also a matter of 'do what you're good at, and let/help others do what they're good at'. The healer isn't there for DPS.
