So!
The game is now, officially, over. However, I am still looking to write a proper series of epilogues, and am therefore going to give everyone involved the chance to submit a final series of orders for what their faction does/tries to do in the aftermath.
These orders should comprise of four sections, and for my sanity, I am setting a wordcount limit of 250 words per section. That means one thousand words in total. Go for broad sweeping statements if you can, don't worry about counting out influence or capital, I'm inclined to be generous with both. I will then go through and do region-by-region, faction-by-faction epilogue write-ups for everyone involved.
So, with that in mind, the four section are as follows:
No set deadline for this one at present, but please start thinking about it.

I will then go through and do region-by-region, faction-by-faction epilogue write-ups for everyone involved.
So, with that in mind, the four section are as follows:
- What does your faction do in the Vampire War? Van Hel is on the march in Ostland, dark forces are rallying to her banner, and this war will likely make or break a great number of legends and heroes for future generations. Do you fight on the front lines? Do you provide financial and material support? Do you stay home and take advantage of your rivals being absent to accomplish other goals? Do you, perhaps, defect to the vampires?
- What are your internal/domestic goals? The world has changed, but some things stay the same. Do you seek economic development, scientific advancement, a totalitarian rule that crushes all dissent, a transition to democracy? Assuming you have years or decades to work with, where do you want your faction to be at the end of it all?
- What are your external/diplomatic goals? Friedrich of Wissenland has taken the crown, but his reign is new and untested, and there are a multitude of other powers out there. Do you seek alliances or make enemies? Do you try to support the new Emperor, or tear him down? What, in decades to come, do you want the history books to say about this era in Imperial history?
- What Grand Ambition do you seek to realise? Everyone has a dream, some mad and glorious plan that they might not even truly believe is possible. If everything goes perfectly for you, if the world becomes your oyster, if you get "one free ticket" to an innovation or lasting triumph that will define you in the history books, what should it be?
No set deadline for this one at present, but please start thinking about it.
To my dear critics:
I put upon myself to give some aswers, since it seem -for legit reasons- that no one has "seen that coming" to the point that the GM has seen neccesary to publish my orders. So:
- Regarding the fact I've written very little:
Dudes: I've played the last two turns, as a Baron with no connection to the main events. Furthermore, my first turn was a complete loss, because the Chancellor's secret police prevented me from doing, well, anything. I was restrained and completely unable to create any story, beside introspective stuff... I hate writing only introspecting stuff. When I do, it gets boring. I sensed I had very little to explain about Blutstrom or the Barony, so I decided not to clog up the forum with senseless text.
- Regarding My treason:
My exchanges with Bandeirante have been a constant discussion about several topics: his control over his subjects, the right to raise armies, and, of course, my worries about the increasing undead threat and what I saw as his frontal refusal to do anything about it. I am very sorry: I made my orders based on "in character" information and "in character" Von Blutstrom had no reason to trust the Malasangre's, aside from the Chancellor's frontal defence of them. Lady Malasangre helped aborting the meat conspiracy in a way she appeared to be killing potential witnesses, the deaths of the Morr Templars were dismissed as even an opportunity for the Black League, and when the Custode who was being so cooperative with the Malasangre's ended up being a Zombie.... God, dudes! the whole thing stinked like french cheese! When The Chancellor kept defending Malasangre after the Custode Affair, that was just too much!
- I've not answered Bandeirante's PM's:
That's... true. The last three PM's we exchanged were
MINE: Asking about the Custode, whose position had been previously used by my superior as guarantee that nothing was wrong
HIS: Answering "Yes, it seems he was able to fool the whole League and Sylvania for years"
HIS: Commenting on possibilities for the third turn
He kept defending Sylvania, no matter the constant stream of clue after clue that said that here smelled like rat. So I didn't answered (Im sorry for that) for a mix of having made up my mind already regarding the Sylvania affair (it smelled like rat and Bandeirante was not going to change his mind) and not having actually a clue on what to answer. For that, I repeat, Im sorry.
- Regarding My ever mounting suspicions over Sylvania...
Well, the way I see it, rather the Malasangre's had achieved the notable feat of being obeyed by undead without actually being corrupted by them nor engaging in any kind of actual necromancy (find me a single example in the WHF lore and I'll shut up) or, applying Occham's knife, they had fell like everyone before them. In the case of poor ol' Blutstrom, he had even less possibilities of choice from.
- Im really sorry for pissing everyone off. I personally take no offence from having my character killed and -obviously- ridiculized. This things happen.
- Finally: If it serves some purpose, I didn't really expected to get that far. In my orders were also the ones about fighting in the frontlines: I expected to be killed before having any opportunity to influence the story. Sorry if I've caused some ruckuss, but I was roleplaying through orders the best I knew.
Waiting impatiently to read the rest of the end. Thanks to you all.

I'll just say as a League member, married to a Malasangre, with a lot of projects ongoing in Sylvania...hi!
There was pretty significant outside pressure and general value added vs Stirland that Sylvania was providing, that had one of Ostermark's vassals gone super aggro before the game end would have seen some pretty darn rapid and angry conversations that started happening. It was really unfortunate that both von Blutstrom and von Midwald decided the same way vis a vis hurting Ostermark to try and get at Sylvania, but play the game of thrones, get smacked up by the in-laws.
Between presenting a great release valve for weird religious stuff in the rest of the League and awesome hunting for Theo (and where her favorite mom and dad lived who loved her and didn't tell her to lose weight or dress a little prettier), Sylvania was kinda just the perfect proxy for a lot of people's background programs to (mostly) mess with Stirland or do weird adventure things. That's not to say there wasn't some creepy stuff going on, I mean, we replaced the Custode with an actor and swapped his taxidermied body back in place right before van Hel did her thing in Ostland, but Sylvania was never really alone in most of this stuff.

At the end of the day everyone involved acted as befitting their characters. So if theres any consolation to take out of this is that we followed things through to their logical end

Precisely. Thank you very much, dear sir. 😅
PD: Heard something about extinguishing the Blutstrom bloodline... never said a thing about brothers, sisters or wife, so I imagine it's pretty much stinguished by now

I wondered why everyone was so against me playing a Morrite honestly lmao

I mean, I handled a lot of the reports for Morr stuff before getting sucked into the Custode drama. Never really had any issues even after you ghosted Theo's attempts to get some kind of religious thing going in Gruyden back in Turn 2 or whatever. The plans could have been a bit more fleshed out, but Morr, burying people and protecting gravesites--that's pretty Morrite.
