Also, the reason Ymaryn mages are loyal to the crown? The elective monarchy never fell. The Core territory of The People remained intact, so the Mages' Guild was still bound to it's oaths to the Crown. Thus, when Poetyr reformed the guilds into Crown Coporations, it happened to the Mages' guild too.

Thus, the Royal Mage Corporation.

Good thing Nokly veto'd selling all the crown corps. Otherwise they would have bought themselves out and become another clocktower. But as it is they are much more plugged into the mundane side of things.

On one hand: Touch the cow, do it now.

But on the other hand the rules of Dramatic Convinience state that if Yenyna is summoned, her ancient rival Reshemhetari must also be summoned.

And then I can finally enact my ancient shipping plan, YES!
 
What the summoner imagined - imposing warrior, big and manly. Perhaps a noble hero of their dreams.
What the summoner gets - featherweight woman who speaks in cryptic prophecies and fights until steel shatters and muscles tear. Responds well to caring patient and understanding persons.

Golden Khem King over there is scaroused.
 
I am willing to switch to Bonwyn if someone can convince me that the shipping opportunities with him are at least equal to those of Yenyna.
 
If this does summon Yenyna as we predict, I hope that she has her allosaurus skull-shaped helmet. That was really rad and IIRC we don't see too many dinosaurs in Nasu.
 
F to the cow hubris but i do welcome the possibility of Khem king being pulled for dramatic reason.

Prologue 02

    • It had taken almost three weeks to get the sword from the Khemetri Archaeological Museum. Apparently, someone had stolen a broken bronze kopesh recovered from Blood Valley. Which meant he had to spend a lot of favors with the diplomatic corps to get the Khem to let him borrow the sword.

    Still, it would be worth it to summon the first Dragon General.

    The circle inscribed, the chant completed, the magic circuits activated… and Lord Myrn could not believe what was standing in the circle. Not a man or a monster, but a waif from the far north.

    "I am Berserker." She said, "The crows call, and I answer. Have you summoned me?" She challenged.

    "I am your Master, Berserker. Who are you? I was trying to summon the Dragon General."

    A laugh like a crow's tore itself from her lungs. Fell armor shimmered into being. Black scales, bronze pauldrons, a helm like the skull of an Allosaurus. Exactly the armor, ceremonial and functional, of the Dragon Generals of the Old Ymaryn Empire. Only, this was not paint over steel, but case hardened iron and actual bronze. And still the laugh, that sounded like it came from a crow rather than a human, sounded from inside the helm.

    Silence.

    "My name is Yenyna." The helm turned, to look at some blank spot on the wall.

    "Hello Yenyna, I am Lord Myrn."

    Berserkers are harder to work with compared to the other classes due to their different madness and I think Myrn will need the extra time to build a working relationship with Yenyna. If we got her in a different Class I wouldn't mind getting know her in Nohon, but do to her class I think it will be better to get to her in a lower stress environment.

    The best way to forge a bond is in the heat of battle.

    Myrn was apparently expecting someone else, so he and Berserker should make sure he's informed of her abilities.

    ... Excuse me for a moment.

    Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!( This pleases Hugger)

    Now then, where were we? Ah yes, voting.

    While getting a proper workshop set up ahead of time would be valuable, Berserker is not a Caster nor should she have the needs of one. Yenyna is ancient Ymaryn's greatest murderblender and as long as we have a sufficient mana-supply we shouldn't have a need to play defensively.

    Meanwhile, I NEED THE DEETS! What can our adorable little crowwatcher do to our not-as-cute enemies?
     
    If it helps, here's a link to the spreadsheet where I speculated servant stats for several Ymaryn figures and Reshemhetari. You're welcome to copy the format if it suits you?
