The Torches Rise (RWBY/CKII, After The End)

Reader mode
I just love the disconnect between what I'm writing and your plans.

I will say this, I'm considering changing the title, not that you would know what it would be or why.
 
Also oh glorious @Raiu where did our old marshal blunderbuss go when we fired him? I feel like he needs to be become rather intimate with some very sharp objects after all leaving disgruntled people around is just asking to be stabbed.

Why is everyone so interested in assassinating our own brother? Once we become Queen of Chaw wouldn't he be a suitable vassal to hold Yeqerta?
 
On the note of Russet, he's still in your court, just no longer a councilor. He is, after all, one of your commanders.
 
Could we use him for Martial-related options that don't involve commanding troops in the field, like military research or Order Military Stockpiling? Or is he just completely hopeless at everything?

Well he is good at distracting things and committing suicidal charges if his performance at the reclamation is any indicator.

Also @Raiu how is russet with the men? if they like him it is going to make my murder plot a bit more difficult.

You think the men like him, if only because he is a joke. You think, you're not sure.
 
Why are people being so eager to send assassins against everyone? It won't help us to start killing people, it might just make things worse by turning allies against us.
 
Actually @Raiu is there anything distinctive about the maidens that a person would be able to tell them from regular people when they are not using their powers?

Why yes. They are ugly crones with large, bulbous noses, and long, claw-like fingers. They have small, beady eyes and smell of rotten meat. They stalk the streets at night and like the taste of children in garlic. You can keep them away by burning a sprig of rosemary the first night of the month.

If it is, I don't know it. I was just describing witches.

That's the Menagrai Children of Remnant's view of Maidens, which Skye likely shares now. She believes that one can tell a Maiden apart from a woman by their soul-less, Grimm-black eyes and a massive witch's mark upon their skin.

She also realizes the belief is rather irrational, but with no information to the contrary...

All the more reason we need to challenge one to an honor duel

@Raiu if one of our female family members became a maiden it wouldn't go over well with the populace would it if that is how they see maidens?

The populace, likely never. The unwashed masses tend to be hard to change the opinion of in a single lifetime. If a noble relative became a maiden, however, and didn't spontaneously turn into the wicked witch of the west, I imagine the more-educated nobility (and possibly even Deacons) would amend their opinions.
 
We know there's maiden in Menagerie, we know she's killing Shaka's in Zulu, so let's ride out there and loudly declare that we will aid the Scions against our mutual enemy the Progenators if the Summer Maiden will face us in honorable combat.
 
@Powerofmind here is the quote
Raiu said:
Well, I might as well reward everyone for sticking in there. @Chaeronea's Chaos Die roll modified the Zulu's absolute failure. Instead of the Summer Maiden appearing during the war and blowing up the Zulu's biggest ammo dump, the Summer Maiden was one of the strongest known Maidens, attuned to her season to an insane degree. She basically awoke a long dead volcano, whose eruption was the explosion you heard. (For the nerds out there, basically a Solar Exalted came down to wreck face.)

Zulu REALLY screwed up. If you had chosen the Zulu as your starting kingdom, the update title for this particular war turn would have been named "Red Sun."

If there's one silver lining for the Zulu, they won't have to worry about the Maiden for a while.

*Points to the holy war that the Zulu called on the Scions.* *Points to the dead on each side.*

I think the response to that would be "Fuck you. We were fine with leaving your people to your own lands, testing your strength by raids. Then your people declared us to be the source of the plague, and struck us without provocation. You are of a cowardly people, unworthy of honor. May the plague take you, you ignorant whore."

Note To Future Readers: Raiu made a bit of a derp here, thinking the Zulu were Children of Remnant. Keep this in mind for the next few posts.

I would also like to note the difference between what the players know, and what Skye or Ser Reinhardt knows. You know it was a Maiden. Skye has no idea what could have caused it.

New plan we wait for the maiden to tire herself out murdering the Zulu and jump her with an army.
