[X] Plan Goddess of War
-[X][FAITH] Templar Order: Faith brings adherents and the attentions of their patron, but politics boondoggles everything.
--[X] Myrmidia
Myrmidia is the Goddess of War, and her worship has spread into the Empire from the southern Old World nations of Tilea and Estalia. An advocate of War as an art and science, she is a god foreign to the Empire, and whose faithful seem strange to its people.
The closest thing we can get to a divine patron that's divorced from politics, also she's all about guns and knowledge and stuff and I love artillery.
-[X][MARTIAL] Siegbert Reiner is an old travelling companion of yours, the sole other survivor of your time with the elves. You're surprised he's put his name forwards, he swore he'd had enough battle to last a lifetime, but you suppose the old dog changed his mind. A beastmaster of some ability, he would be invaluable in breaking and training the Order's horses - and other creatures, if they were acquired in the future.
An Ogre is a bad choice for military advisor but the other choices are pretty decent, I went with Siegbert because I want some demigryphs or maybe even a griffon. Also experience is always nice in an advisor
-[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.
If we want magic items we can commission them, we're playing the sister of the Emperor after all. This is the job for stewardship advisor and I don't want the advice to be 'give me rare ingredients so I can make cool stuff for myself'
-[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?
High staff efficiency is an excellent reason to choose her. Also I don't want a witch hunter giving me the evil eye all the time or trying to act as a diplomat.
-[X][PIETY] A Priest has offered to join your Order to help tend to the men and watch over the faith of your Order. You're pretty sure they're plants by the various cults in the Empire, but having a Priest stationed permanently in your Order would be tremendous for morale, especially in a Religious Order. (Write-in: By Default, will match the religion of a Templar Order)
Priests are pretty useful for a variety of things.
-[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 a wineyard, not death on the battlefield. And you don't like wine that much.
-[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.
If we're going to have to deal with an enemy I'd like one that simultaneously kills our enemies for us.
Additionally a Knight of the Realm is going to not have all that much time to chase after us compared to a Grail knight or Knight Errant.
Also the combination of these two should be funny.
-[X][NAME] The Order of Johanna
Name if after the best possible fighter we can find and hope others follow their example. (No didn't just do this because I'm not creative!)
[X] Plan Judgement of the Dead
Approval vote since it has everything I wanted, well the god is different but that's OK. Maybe we can convince the Morrons to perform some cremation after the dead rise and murder everyone for the 100000th time.
