My Life as Mordred in Warhammer World After Training on Earth Bet

[wowow2264]

Also one can increase quality and quantity of circuits even in magic starved nesuverse. Still they can maintain quality. Look at royal blue blood circuits of barthmellori. Also with Age of God in effect I suspect quality of circuit will not decrease rather increase.

Click to shrink...

Can I get a source for that? Because everything I have read or heard about magic circuits that isn't fanon says that the quality and quantity of natural magic circuits can't be changed, there is artificial ways to add on to the circuits you can use like a Family Mage Crest grants the possessor access to the magic circuits in it and you can make more via your own nerves but it is painful, inefficient and as far as I can tell, temporary. Mordred can improve the quality of her magic core(the big brother of the magic circuits) because of CYOA fuckery and becoming a goddess gives her literally divine magic which is better in quality and quantity.

Unless you are talking about how over the generations Fate Mages can get better and more circuits? In the comment I said they will be static I was referring to how any ONE person can't increase the quality and quantity of their natural circuits, well, more like magic cores since they will be part dragon. The magic cores they are born with will be different per person much like the average magi in fate.

Will origin and elements have an impact?

Click to shrink...

An impact on what? Their fate magic? Yes. Their warhammer magic? Yes, it will impact them much like how Mordred's affinity with Lightning grants her aid with casting LIGHTNING spells, not Azyr spells but lightning spells.

One of the biggest problems is that Mordred is mostly self taught in magic with a few scraps from her mother tossed in. So, even if she wanted to do stuff with fate magic, she would be starting from stratch with only the knowledge you would expect pre grail war shiro to have. The only advantage she would have over him is the having her magical blast and the years spent trying to surpass it.

Determining one's origin and Element is a basic thing. So it is not impossible she is aware of it. Because there are various ways to do so.

My issue is that you are using Lightning as an raw manipulation. Why not use its esoteric effects? I am ok with not focusing on wind of heaven but what about fine tuning the lightning or reinvent various lightning attacks like lightning armour or increase efficiency?

A bolt of lightning is symbolic. It is a symbol of the loss of ignorance. It also represents the punishment of aloof humans from the Gods. In dreams, lightning is a symbol of a terrible event and negativity. A thunderbolt is a traditional expression for a discharge of lightning or a symbolic representation thereof. In its original usage, the word may also have been a description of meteors, although this is not currently the case. As a divine manifestation, it has been a powerful symbol throughout history and has appeared in many mythologies. Drawing from this powerful association, the thunderbolt is often found in military symbolism and semiotic representations of electricity.

Lightning plays a role in many mythologies, often as the weapon of a sky and storm god. As such, it is an unsurpassed method of dramatic instantaneous retributive destruction: thunderbolts as divine weapons can be found in most mythologies. The most familiar thunderbolt weapon in the West was that of Zeus or Jupiter. His thunderbolts, manufactured by the cyclopic children of Gaia, were used to strike down impious criminals and divine opponents.

In Hindu mythology, the god Indra is known as the god of lightning. His main weapon is the thunderbolt (Vajra).

In Hittite and Hurrian mythology, a triple thunderbolt was one symbol of Teshub.

In Greek mythology, the thunderbolt is a weapon given to Zeus by the Cyclops.

In Roman mythology, the thunderbolt is a weapon given to Jupiter by the Cyclops.

In Maya mythology, Huracan is sometimes represented as three lightning bolts.

In Norse mythology, Odin's spear Gungnir is an embodiment of lightning. In addition, his son, Thor is specifically the god of thunder and lightning, wielding Mjolnir.

In Native American mythology, the Ani Hyuntikwalaski ("thunder beings") cause lightning fire in a hollow sycamore tree.

So why not draw out such symbolic effects? Lightning after all related to main Domain of sky and storm.

In case of Magic circuits it true the number one gets while he or she born is static but one can increase efficiency of circuits like Aoko Aozaki. Barthomeloi possess a powerful brand of Magic Circuits known as Blue Blood: Noble Magic Circuits which they cultivated. Demigods will have better quality circuits.

Plus with Age of God active and if they interbreed with Native Magic users constantly they can increase quality of their circuits far easily than in nesuverse. Mordred contains Dragon Core but with infusion of Faith it is turning into Goddess Core which is far more powerful than Magic core that also increase circuit quality of her progeny.

Can Mordred commission a banner/cape for herself from a Runelord with that Dragon as payment?

One more thing. Since Mordred is still starting out and unification just happened, this is the best time to erode any power nobles still have.

But then what will replace the nobility? Merchant oligarchs? That's how Marienburg ended up being a den of hundreds of cults and public order was unironically kept by the vampire ringleader hidden in the background and a mutual desire to protect the status quo.

Democracy would usually be a good idea, but considering the existence of Chaos and other assorted corruption, handing an easy ladder of power to anyone with the wealth and charisma to climb is a bad idea.

An established tradition based of the bloodline of knights and nobility would ironically have the greatest endurance against corruption problem because a stratified society have a greater chance of resisting Chaos taint.

Definitely not a complete resistance since nobility have their own issues with debauchery and depravity, but a lot better than a democracy where anyone with enough clout could challenge the reign.

The Esoteric effects mentioned didn't get used because I have a very blunt mind and didn't think about that at all and just wanted to spam lightning at things via UNLIMITED POWER!

And she is in fact fine tuning her lightning, do you really think her gamejam version of the Master Bolt could be spammed so easily? No, she spent the five years wisely and fine tuned her one size fits most lightning spell into a ridiculous thing that could be spammed like crazy and helped a single person completely level the STRONGEST greenskin stronghold in existence. Do keep in mind that anyone capable of high magic in warhammer can in fact learn the Master Bolt spell. She also has her Mana Burst Lightning which is her surging finely tuned lightning aspected mana throughout her entire body to go FAST and hit HARD.

I said as much didn't I? This really feels to me as just repeating what I said with more words. I'm confused.

Considering she just spent the last five years wrangling the nobles into decent people and good administrators, I doubt she will purge them all now. You didn't think she stopped doing her idiot noble hunting did you?

Also what taovkool said, who would replace them and sadly, giving easy access to power to the common man means giving easy access to power to Chaos and other corruption. Good news is that Mordred can just ascend or descend whoever she wants into and out of nobility if she thinks they deserve it. She is their God Queen.

I mean she could but she could also just preserve it to make into armor for her kid instead which would be way better then giving a high level saber/caster an average tier mystic code.

Take a walk in the Empire -> Armies of Orks explode all over the place. Witchhunters "mysteriously disappear".
Take a walk in the wilderness -> Dead goblins and beastmen everywhere
Take a walk and meet the asshole neighbour -> His armies suddenly died
Take a walk in the hills -> Destroyed undead everywhere
Take a walk in THE Ork Stronghold -> Damaged (but empty) stronghold given back to the Dwarves
Take a walk in the Border Princes -> "Mine now"
Take a walk to look at a pass -> the men drags a headless dragon back

Mordred is going to give the "I'm going for a walk" and "An enthusiastic walk" sentences new meaning in the Old World, I suspect?

Considering it is 600 years before the legalization of magic, and the fact that wizards are well-treated and an essential part of Mordred kingdom, how is Magnus ever going to make the College of Magic ? Moreover, how will this institution ever going to last ?

I mean, the Empire is going to suffer Brain Drain(Magic drain is a better name) for 600 years before legalization of magic. It is possible that by the time Magnus arrive there would be statistically a lot less people that have the capacity for magic, since the smartest decision to make if you ever accidentally cast a spell in the empire is to fuck off with your family to the dragon kingdom. So the families with magic potential will often migrate here diminishing the empire pool of magic potential.

And even then why would magical secret societies in the empire even reveal themselves to Magnus ? The offer of a pardon is moot when they can, once again "fuck-off to the dragon kingdom where they are respected", and have probably done so already, diminishing the number of wizard creating the Colleges, and the lore accumulated at its creation by secret magical societies being incorporated in it.

And finally, the third part of the brain drain: a lot of the journeymen and magisters of the empire magical college would defect to the dragon kingdom for a very simple reason: Respect. The average person in the empire would like nothing more than to burn empire wizard at the stake, and that is by the time of Karl Franz, two hundred years after the Colleges creation and unending effort from and for wizard to be accepted.
The average person in the dragon kingdom respect wizards from the beginning since they know they protect them from Morrslieb, mutation, chaos infiltrator, etc...

Pretty sure the collages would only be made out of those who are to stubborn to leave there home. If they get made at all. Basically If the collages exist at all they will be completely different then the 'cannon' timeline.

by becoming a Queen of the land she will attract the attention of not just her neighbors but other powers who have the ability to see or interact with her side of the world and sooner or later they will want to stop this extremely fast-growing Queendom before it becomes a global superpower least they be a threat to their goals and agendas, it wouldn't make sense if they just left her alone.

OK, how ? the kingdom is immune to infiltration and subversion (If you intend harm to people of the kingdom, the cities magical barrier burn you to death) and is also immune to brute force as it has an active demigodess as a leader.

like the most I can think of is economic means, and attempting to get Loyal but complete idiots in charge. and The economic means are kinda out because of the dwarves, and as mordered would deal with the second every now and then.

I could see them trying to unite and fight if they didn't just see the same fail in the border princes, plus the empire attempted to and started back-stabbing itself.

The most likely way to deal with morderds queendom is to have her take out the enemy thats stopping you from expanding and expand.

 

[Anti-No]

The attempt by the Empire to unify and "Kill the Witch!" could very well have been an intrigue attack against Mordred by the Vampires that failed because of Empire Noble chronic backstabbing syndrome.

By then, assuming it lasts, the Drachen something something kingdom (Imma just call it Drakengard because I'm on a phone) would be 600 years old.

The elves and the dawi might think it's nothing but that's a respectable period of time for a human polity. The Kingdom of Drakengard is certain to be a major power.

Bit of a question wowow2264, is Mordred going to rule Drakengard forever or is she just going to leave it to her descendants?

As history has shown, leaving descendants to completely take care would be foolish. Perhaps make them like prime ministers and she can step in if absolutely needed. Oh make sure she retains absolute power just in case too.

This isn't strictly true. The reason the Tokugawa Shogunate, unlike the other previous Shogunates, lasted as long as it did with the Tokugawa actually in charge is that the First Tokugawa Shogun retired while still alive after stabilizing the situation and "officially" gave the position to his son. This mean that when years later he died, his son position was already steady and there was no trouble with the succession unlike all the previous Shogunate.

On top of that Mordred unlike a normal ruler has the advantages of having absolute personal might, being worshiped as a Goddess by the main religion of her nation, and being loved by her people in general.

I was mainly referring to the history of warhammer and how subsequent emperors have screwed up but I guess I wasn't very clear.

Since Mordred can stick around, she should. Or at least be lightly involved enough to make sure things keep improving and not let any idiots ruin things.

Some guy who wants power: "Follow ME! I was actually given a mission to lead the Shogunate by the old Shogun and..."

Also, is it just me or does the area where the Silk Road, Khyperian Road, Trantio Road, and Pavona Road intersect seem like the perfect place for Mordred to set up a successful trade city? I mean, it even has a freshwater river and the bay right there.

It really does look like a good idea and is something I'll keep in mind when I start fleshing out new cities for Drachenreich.

There's already a city there. "Khypris - Formerly the Capital of the vast Khyprian Empire."

Border Princes

"You will have heard, my lord, of a region to the east of the Tilean city-states ... sometimes known as the land of the Border Princes. This land is reckoned by its own people to be civilised enough, and it is not unlike Estalia or Tilea in that the men of every little princedom think themselves...

Mordred will rule for however long it takes before her kid or grandkids decides to take up the throne and has enough training and maturity/life experience to be given it without Mordred having to hover over their shoulders for years. She(or really, I) estimates that her kid will be ready around 30 years old.

Also, Mordred wants to make magic phones or some equivalent to them and then she would only be a phone call away for asking for advice and travel time from one corner of the world is measured in hours for her so as long as it doesn't require her physical appearance that instant, she can be there pretty damn soon.

So that post you replied^^^^ are you stating that Mordred has immortal Longevity (she can still die by fatal wounds but lives forever) so.........does that means she might make it towards the Era of Warhammer 2 and possibly fight the choas hordes in warhammer 3


Also which faction would you play in warhammer 3 Choas, Kisliv(aka Russia since they have combat bear mounts and ice magic) or Grand cathy (aka mystic China with earthbendings......lol)

Yeah, basically, since her lifespan keeps growing the longer she lives, it just keeps growing until it hits critical mass and gives her Eternal Youth. Whether or not she is around for Total War Warhammer 2/3 depends on if the timeline actually stays the same with a whole new country with the average wizard being able to find a safe land to live in and combined human magical knowledge working together for 600 more years then the original timeline. So, the events of the games probably won't come to pass in anywhere near the same manner since it is unlikely that the empire will have their college of magic since the not evil magic users are almost all going over to Drachenreich.

I'd probably try them all out just because I like trying all of the races to see what fits best with my own playstyle. Kislev is the one I am most looking forward to try, Cathay is basically nonexistent in lore so it might as well be a random ass OC to me, so while I'd give it a shot, I don't really care about a country that is only really known to exist and not matter much at all beside small amounts of trade. Chaos is already sort of available in warhammer 2 via mods and I've already given that a play through so while it would be cool to have an official Chaos faction, I've already gotten my edge fill via mods and the dark elves.
