Ok, seems fine. Although I would not mind Shallyan Order of 'fuck Nurgle', eh.

[X][NAME] The Order of Knights Warden
 
[X] Plan Derek58
-[X][FAITH] Templar Order: Faith brings adherents and the attentions of their patron, but politics boondoggles everything.
--[X] Sigmar

SIGMAR VULT

-[X][MARTIAL] Your old sparring mate, Dragg Limbripper, has heard that new Orders are being founded and come to seek his knighthood yet again. While an ogre squire would be a first, there's no actual rule against it, and Dragg's a good fellow. A bit dim, but he means well! Besides, he's a phenomenal wrestler, and it'd be good to have a training partner who can actually push you - and just think what he could make of your knights!... If he doesn't break them.

Training our knights to be even more badass, and being able to keep up with us, sounds good.

Also Ogre Bro like Freddy and Urgdug! :D

-[X][STEWARDSHIP] Besen von Verlässlich, or Brom as you called him, is a childhood friend of yours. You remember him as he was, weedy and noodly, but he had heart. So you kept him around, showed him the ropes, dragged him along for walks, and hammered him into good iron. Before long he grew up, bulked out, and became someone worth talking to. Last you heard he had become a part of the Imperial Estate, an aide to the Imperial Steward! And now he's applying to serve you. That's… actually kind of sweet of him.

A former aide to the Imperial Steward would be very helpful.

-[X][DIPLOMACY] Luise Liebjungfer once served Duchess Alda von Preissner loyally as a Lady-in-Waiting, but tragically the Duchess died not too long ago, reportedly slain by beastmen while visiting her vineyards. With the death of her lady, Luise has been looking for another to serve. Reputed to be one of Reikland's finest ladies-in-waiting, Luise would be a great boon to the comforts of your household and the efficiency of your staff, and apparently her massages are incredible. Well. The job has to come with some perks, right?

Like Imrix said, Luise sounds excellent.

-[X][PIETY] You've met Sunnhilde Kantorowicz before, at the center of an outbreak of Nurglites near Kemperbad. By all accounts she is a normal priestess of Shallya, if a little stiff, preaching peace and treating the wounded… until she saw the infected dead rise, went mad with outrage, and began beating them to death with whatever was nearby. By the time your Reiksguard arrived she was still beating them to second death with an iron bar. A Shallyan Priestess would be an invaluable comfort to your subordinates, and you actually wouldn't mind having the little firecracker around… But being that high-strung probably doesn't bode well for her future in a Knightly Order...

A Shallyan would be extremely useful for keeping our knights healthy.

-[X][BRETONNIA] Especially now that you have a Grail Knight coming after you. Apparently the Lady of the Lake took a personal interest in you defeating their Lord and has sent one of her personal demigod champions to beat you. At least you can trust that you won't die in the process. Maybe if you make a good enough impression they won't put you on a spit and roast you.

I love a challenge :D

-[X][DESTRUCTION] As a teenage girl, you once had a daydream or two about being kidnapped by a vampire and finding eternal love in undeath - because monsters or not the story of Vlad von Carstein and Isabella von Carstein is pretty fucking romantic - but the thing about teenage fantasies is how awful they tend to be in practice. Which is not great for you, because you seem to have a vampiric admirer. More than once he's slaughtered a pack of beastmen and greenskins to raise an army to fight you, just so he can see you again. It's… actually fairly thoughtful of him to clear out the Empire's enemies while still giving you something to crush, but this is still creepy. Eurgh.

Hahaha, this is too good to pass up! :lol

-[X][NAME] Knights of the Avalanche

Because we hit our enemies like one :cool:

I'm open to other names if people have better ideas.

I like the brettonian suitor option.

What's the point of having a great ass without the romantic comedy shenanigans in the pursuit of said ass? :V
 
Some of those options...:rofl:

I fully expect several heated debates around some of these. I must say, having both a bretonnian count and a vampire suitor as two sides of an unwanted love triangle is quite the idea.

A bit more seriously, we should either be secular or Sigmarite. Boring and standard, but it makes perfect sense, and I get a bit tired of questers making these riduculus characters.

For advisors...They are all pretty good. I don't think the elf is a good idea, and the witch hunter would be...a bit of an odd choice.

But for nemesis...Oh the choices are all so good. Except that ratman. Everybody knows they don't exist, so why bother picking something like that. But really, I don't think anyone of these are bad picks.

One of the upsides to being a Secular Order is stuff like this--we can employ a Gold Wizard with a straight face and nobody can accuse us of Heresy! And having a wizard who can improve our kit makes us one step closer to being a respectable Knightly Order that secretly hides an Inner Circle of absolute fucking madmen who are expected to be capable of fighting Heroes and Lords or are made fun of for mucking about.

Worth noting: This guy is like, the epitome of a limp weak noodly-armed nerd with his nose in a book and smells weird from alchemical reagents. He and Johanna are extremely unlikely to get along, and combined with his upcoming magisterial exams means we're probably only going to get limited use out of him.
 
I dont have any strong feelings on the name, but I am interested in having to have some restrictions on our actions due to our order's beliefs.

Would personally prefer Reiner to Dragg, but I like everything else, so Ogre Squire it is.

I'd prefer a Secular order. Less religious politics, and thus probably less of a headache for our little brother.

But then again, admittedly any random Knight that is ABLE to become a Grail Knight is exceptional even before becoming one.

-[X][STEWARDSHIP] Sontrulvus is an elven merchant, immigrated here from Ulthuan several hundred years ago and now a naturalised citizen of the Empire. Adept at both diplomacy and business in a way you could never comprehend, he would be the ideal retainer if not for his awful attitude. Although his court manners are impeccable, elves are not well-liked by the common folk of the Empire, and neither for that matter are merchants, so taking him on will raise a few eyebrows. At least he respects you somewhat, thanks to your service in the Long March. (Special, may be selected as either a Stewardship or Diplomacy option, and can act in both capacities, but costs 50 Prestige)

[X][BRETONNIA] The new Marquis, a fully ordained Knight of the Realm, has taken up the Kingdom's vendetta and seeks to challenge you to single combat, with the caveat that if you lose, you will become his wife. That's… slightly concerning. You have no intention of getting married to a Bretonnian, you know what they do to women there. Your future there is death in awineyard, not death on the battlefield. And you don't like wine that much.

Plan voting, remember. If people are really digging this idea of competing unwanted suitors though, I'm prepared to add it to my plan to consolidate votes.
 
Fudge I'm gonna do it..

[] Plan Shoujo Knight quest

[][FAITH] Secular Order: Divorced from the politics of religion and free to operate, but they forsake the blessings of their patron.

[][MARTIAL] Your own squire, Reinhard Edelstein, appears to have put his name forward! He served you during your time in the Reiksguard, and you struck up a good rapport with him as friend and teacher. When you left, he had already become a fully ordained knight of the Reiksguard. Another veteran of the Reiksguard would be worth his weight in gold

Reason is that it gives Johanna a reverse harem and also two girl pals to to hang with. :V

I...see.

Well, I rethought it anyway and edited before seeing this.

In addition: annoying as Bretonnians can be, their knights are admittedly better on an average one on one basis.

On a different note: does dueling apply to fighting monsters one on one?

Duelist applies to fighting Monsters, yes, and it can eventually unlock other traits that specialise in monster hunting - in contrast to the other option, which would be maximising clowning Lords.

Grail knights are some of the best knights a country of knights has to offer, hopped up on magic juice.

Even some random one is a superhuman badass with either decades of experience or the natural talent to fight without it.

It's how they survive with their backwards views on society, technology and economics.

Added the Marquis and the vampire to my plan as nemesis options, since it looks like people really do dig the idea. That just leaves religion and name - still taking suggestions on those, but I'm leaning slightly towards a secular Order.
 
This romantic crap is stupid.

And the vampire nemesis isn't nearly as good unless we're for Morr-but I don't want to be for Morr.

But we really need to talk about the religious issue: it's not a minor thing. It will effectively determine our forward path.

Yeah, but he can give us cool shit unlike most weedy shits--he has an excuse damnit, he's a wizard and it's not exactly easy to shape the horrible powers of magic without exploding.

As for my choice of the Grail Knight as our foe--to be honest? It strikes me as the one that we'll have the hardest time winning, but also the Lady playing damage control on Bretonnian piss and vinegar.

Because Grail Knights are hard to kill--and if Johanna manages to win anyway? He's probably not going to die. Just the same, the Grail Knight is superior enough that he's unlikely to kill Johanna in turn. The whole point seems to me the Lady going "Shit, shit, this is a political clusterfuck but I can't just order Bretonnia to cut that shit out--I'll let one of my champions go, give them a chance to recover their face, and prevent the Empire from going into a bloodrage because some chucklefuck with more honor than sense decided to start a bloodfeud by kidnapping or killing the sister of the Emperor for daring to win a fight"

I'll note that I actually agree with this. On its own merits, I might lean towards that option myself, but the synergy with the vampire amuses me for now. Also, people are going for it, and I am shamelessly mercenary for the companion setup I laid out, so I follow the votes.
