Found it! It’s in her and Hubert‘s c support

If I remember correctly Dagda and Brigid went to war against Adrestia together

Dorotheas nicknames! Flayn would love them but her name is so difficult to find a nickname for

She would notice how young Petra is (I think she would think of most of her classmates are painfully young when the war starts)

I don’t think it’s a question of word count but of pacing

If there would be natural chapter divides its chaptered (like if the scenes can be grouped together thematically or during time skips), if the scenes just flow into each other or it‘s a collection of non connected scenes it‘s a oneshot

frequent in part one except for character observations that might have an impact overall.

Lorenz will be hired but not played to pretend he is an ally to the empire like he is in silver snow or azure moon.

Maybe I‘ll recruit Felix, Mercedes and Constance too, but I‘m not sure about them yet.

I‘m planning/playing with a story during the war phase so my notes will probably be less

Of course the black eagles + Jeritza will be part of the team, the recruits will be Lysithea (she‘s an honorary black eagle to me), as well as Manuela going back to Adrestia during the war and Shamir being hired as a mercenary.

The characters and classes will be recruited and deployed based on headcanon and what I want them to be in the story so I‘m allowing myself some aux battles to not get completely overwhelmed (still maddening though!)

Brigid as a fifth faction (or fourth depending on the route) instead of being this closely tied to Adrestia?

The fountain pen in question. It‘s meant for six or seven year old children but I never found anything that feels better while writing, it has the perfect heavy but not overwhelming ink flow

On that note, Jeritza being Jeritza, how careful should I be with themes of violence or anything more bloody? Are there guidelines/limits?

I love the concept! While I can’t promise anything I might tap into the Jeridue brainworms
