[@The Angry Goat] Hey man, you try doing a google/pinterest search for "young steampunk mafioso/smuggler/pimp/gangster/whatever" and trying to find a decent reference image for Kadenza! 

It took me ages before I eventually gave up and went "fuck it that dude from Legend of Korra kinda looks like him" and moved on with my life. :p

 Actually, I should edit Antonin's profile and change the part about him being a teacher for more than two centuries. The timeline was stiff iffy in my head at the time but he definitely wasn't around during the fall of the old countries. He's been around for like... 130 years maybe? Still a long time, but, not as long as Aleksandre. Also, Aleksandre's immortality is known far and wide to have come as a gift from Lord Varya, while the reason for Antonin's weird agelessness is a mystery.

 No, Magnus can't become a bishop, but he can become a cardinal, which is the highest rank within the church before the almighty "pope" figure, who stands at the apex of the faith's hierarchy. Haven't made this character yet, and I'm not sure if I want to refer to them as "pope", since... yeah. Anyone have any ideas for what title this person should have?

As for the order in which the countries fell. I see it as follows:

- T'sarae surrenders without much fighting involved
- Three years after that Muraad falls after a series of bloody skirmishes against their disparate clans 
- Five years later Omestris falls, though their surrender occurs under mysterious circumstances, since they seemingly destroyed their own city rather than allow it to be captured 
- 180 years later, Varya invades Lanostre.
- Twenty years after Lanostre, Varya sets out to conquer the eastern continent.

 So yeah, T'sarae, Muraad and Omestris all fell in quick succession before Varya took the better part of two centuries to build their city and army to take on Lanostre. I [i]think[/i] that's right. If I'm wrong about anything or have stated info that clashes with anything I mentioned in the past, let me know!
