@Gunther Don't suppose you'd add Cedric to that list, now that he's in the Character Tab.

Ran out of time. I will get everyone in there eventually.

Right, everyone has been added to the character index at the top of the Characters Tab.

I have edited the Wider History section, could probably put more in, but I'll leave it at that for now.

Now it comes time for us to decide on which faction The Band will be starting with, we have three choices:

1. Godfrey of Innsmouth, of the House of Powell. The lord of Innsmouth and second cousin to the King through his grandfather's youngest sister. He has the most legitimacy of any of the claimants, holding the capital and already crowned by the Arch Deacon of Kingsbury. However, with his realm split and many lords not wanting to be drawn into the succession conflict he does not have command of Westar's full host. He is a man in the prime of his life, politically able and a gifted administrator - serving as prominent councillor to Adalmar II. While not known for his martial prowess he has commanded hosts to put down revolts and deal with outlaws and pirates. He commands 12,000 men.

2. The Prince of Taratio, Antonio di Badoni. The Prince claims the Throne through his descent through the elder sister of Adalmar II's grandfather, however, there is one additional intervening generation thus making him the King's second cousin once removed. The young prince is considered a prodigy, gifted at anything he turns his hand at. His court is known as centre for learning and the arts. He has led inspiring victories against other Litan principalities, but some whisper this was more luck than strategic genius. He commands a host of 10,000 - which when combined with his Bordian allies rises to 16,000. The Bordians also possess one the most powerful naval forces of the combatants.

3. Lord Howard of House Northall is the Duke of Northall and is now the senior member of House Northall with the extinguishing of the main line. His cadet branch split off almost 200 years ago, when the Northalls ascended the throne of Westar, but by agnatic descent he is King by right. The old Duke is a hard and proud man, serving as the King's governor of the North of Westar for many years. He and his sons are popular amongst the northern aristocracy, but less so amongst the rest of the nobility. He is the candidate with the most military experience, having commanded numerous armies during the wars of Adalmar's predecessor. But with only 8,000 troops, he is militarily the weakest candidate - which means that he is willing pay extra for hired swords...

You can vote on this poll here - please make sure you only vote once, when a clear winner emerges, I will start writing the opening post...

#TeamGodfrey

Hmmm...to vote as me, or vote as Branimir.

Honor dictates Godfrey, but respect dictates Howard.

#TeamHoward

Ahahahaha - this is exactly the reaction I wanted to provoke

I'd just like to point this out to the Godfrey supporters:

While not known for his martial prowess [Godfrey] has commanded hosts to put down revolts and deal with outlaws and pirates.

*ahem*

With work scarce [The Band of Fools] became little more than glorified thugs and many even turned to banditry when hard times struck.

Ya really think he's going to care about us? Because I'm thinking maybe he's not going to care about us.

#Howard4lyf, old geezers got to stick together!

@Mattchstick

I wasn't going to say anything extra about what happens if we picked one side over the other, but I will confirm that if we pick Godfrey we will ALL IMMEDIATELY BE HANGED FOR BEING FILTHY BANDIT SCUM!

It was going to be the ultimate plot twist, but sigh, its ruined now.

(This is a joke - vote for whoever you want)

You have to also look at the bigger picture, more money is always the way to go! _/s

Haha, it was something along these lines that made me vote Godfrey, I thought it would be an interesting plot device and maybe lead to some divisiveness later on. Really I am not worried about who we end up fighting for, they are all interesting choices. : )

#HowardofNorthall

Oh shit Howard has edged out in front!

Oh shit Howard has edged out in front!

No love for the poor Prince of Taratio.

The Prince is a

@Dziady He is apparently known for education and art and, as an educated, artistic fellow myself, I would like to formally say "Screw that guy."

Yo but what if right before we were executed a dragon showed up and destroyed the whole place so we went to a different city and got told to climb a huge mountain and learned how to shout at things from some old guys. Maybe throw something some ancient literature in there.
