Hey Sten,

Do you have any Finnish magic that helps with privacy or talking privately, like an Eyetalk equivalent?
 
[X] Look for people willing to buy and sell cargo
[X] Listen to the local Skalds, learn what news there is in Denmark
[X] Go to the Jarl's hall and greet him

I like this plan.

I definitely like Kare and want to recruit him. He seems interesting. I have no idea how he winds up with a wolf's head, but it's interesting.

I also really like Kare and want to recruit him. Having a chessmaster with a wolf head in our Household is absolutely worthy of a Saga.

Alvar was also very interesting. Once again IF suceeded in writing a non-human character that feels non-human, i could feel the Uncanny Valley just by reading.

If he fares well during the journey i am in favor of recruiting him too.

Guess I was wrong, and the Romans were just very hardcore about making sure their city lasted forever.

I mean, Rome is called the Eternal City for a reason.

You all 'Funny' reacted me, but I fucking knew it! It's all connected back to the Ancestral Dragon-Engine! It must be made of Steel with a fusion reactor as it's core!

Add in it's obvious time traveling capabilities that work by the same principle as anti-matter colliders (i.e. making 2 opposing concepts be put in contact (Change and Stagnation being an unstoppable force and an immovable object respectively)) and there we have it!

The Stoker State is from the artificial Sun and The [???] is from it being a giant chunk of ridiculously advanced Steel Clockwork!



I AM A GENIUS FOR SEEING WHAT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ALL OF YOU!

schizo rant over :V
 
I really like the descriptions of Alvar. He sounds like something between a CLAMP character and a weird photoshop. Like his chin could literally cut glass.
 
Hm.... Greeting the jarl is just good manners, but I do want to get news....

We do get three of these. This vote is just which we do first.

Also, wow.
No wonder the whole village was killed.
Just who was Sten's master to know how to destroy steel?

Technically, I think we know of one way as well, we just don't know how to get access to it. Based on Blackhand Ilmarinen's Fire could likely do it...and that is named after the Finnish smith god, so Sten's master having that is not at all impossible...

You need to put an 'X' between the brackets for it to count your vote.

@KreenWarrior , you wanted to spend some reward dice on information regarding Pursuers, right?

I'll answer any one question you have regarding them for your 3 Reward Dice
I feel like "What is a Pursuer" is too broad. :V Instead I'll go with "What does a Pursuer look like?" under the theory that might let us figure out more based on inference.

No I mean IF said on discord that Rome is literally made of Steel, pretty much everything including things like the aqueducts.
That honestly explains a lot, at least, Norsequest wise.
They had Steel Aqueducts!

Those fuckers were crazy!
Of course they were, duh.
Who knows what got leeched out of the steel by the water! :V

Hm... I gotta wonder though.... What happens when you mix/alloy steel with other stuff.
All that impurities should weaken it, magic wise, right?

*ahem*

A Pursuer has 4 limbs arranged around a central, vaguely rectangular torso—the upper limbs end in five-fingered grabbers while the lower set end in flat, nub-tipped appendages used for walking.

They have a fur-topped head—the fur's color comes in many hues, as does the surface of their outwards-facing, body-spanning, pressure-sensory organ—two binocular organs with which they observe the world, two splayed-out auditory receptors on either side of the head, two olfactory orifices on the underside of an organ-covered, vaguely triangular growth, as well as a wide, bone-filled slash they use to both make noise and consume the flesh and meat of their food.
 
Cool, so Pursuers are Humans who follow and have made pacts with the Enemy, makes sense to me.

Another theory brought up before that I think has legs with this revelation is that it's a duplicate or mirror image of the person doing the Disclosure. That explains why it's unavoidable...the Enemy just bases it on you, and you need to be there to do the Disclosure in the first place.

Them being unavoidable makes a lot less sense if they're just people who serve the Enemy. The name also makes more sense if they're targeted.

How close did Horra match up to this, appearence-wise?
 
It's good to know that anyone we meet who doesn't have a nose is categorically not a Pursuer!
