Weekly update is up!

I've been hunkering down and focusing on trying to get the update done lately. It's shaping up to be longer than I had intended/hoped for.

(Telling in the sense that they don't seem to care too much about finding a better replacement, which I would agree is absolutely needed)

All else aside, it's pretty telling to me that as someone who isn't familiar with these ideas of "feudalism bad" that both the linked article and the prior ones it noted made no actual attempt to express how it's wrong for an unfamiliar reader like me.

They just took it as fact and went from there.

Yeah, who could've done that? It's not like we came through a while back and have a flame sorceress in the party... >.>; <.<;

Some would say that those who favor intrigue lack principles. Eris strongly disagrees. =P

Kharos customization is something that I (and Despoina) continue to add to where possible! Personally, I think not much sells the sense of rulership like having your castle set up as you like it!

Making Despoina happy is, admittedly, a very compelling reason to do things sometimes >.>; <.<;

It's easy to think that going to war is harder and staying home is easier, but... on the whole I'm with Veronica here, heh.

Decided to pull out some of my Noblesse memes this week. I always enjoyed charts like this. =P

Now updated with new Despoina art!

I'm running a bit low on good screenshots, gonna take more sometime. XD

Right now, I'm plotting hard mode. Every time someone on my discord makes a comment about something being too easy, hard mode inches closer to reality...

As a teleporting sorcerer, popping up in places you'd really rather not see him is kind of Cassander's thing. :X

There comes a point at which accusing your enemy of being too cunning becomes a matter of "So why do you think you have a chance again?" =P

It's a little ironic that our fiery princess comes from the City of Water, but her homeland lives up to its name.

Somnus is an eminently reasonable man. For, you know, a demon lord. =P

Brazen usurper he may be, but Antipater -does- occasionally answer the question right. :X
