Apenas Femboys Podem Governar — 1107
O ano é 1107. Em todo o mundo cristão e bizantino, uma lei político-religiosa de longa data decreta que apenas femboys podem ocupar os tronos legítimos mais altos. A França, sob o jovem Astolfo, prepara campanhas militares duplas. O Império Romano do Oriente, governado por Gwyndolin, o Sol Sombrio, vive sem a luz solar verdadeira desde a morte de Gwyn séculos antes; a escuridão física persiste mesmo após Gwyndolin dissipar as antigas ilusões de Guinevere e do sol eterno. O Sultanato Aiúbida utiliza Espadas Flamejantes encantadas e marcha para o norte. Príncipes alemães, incluindo a militarista Crusch Karsten de Brandemburgo e o obcecado por fama Hideri Kanzaki dos Habsburgos, observam em busca de oportunidade. Muito ao leste, o Rei Sem Nome, primogênito de Gwyn, permanece no exílio entre os últimos dragões. A comunicação e o movimento militar seguem as velocidades e restrições do início do século XII, aumentadas pelas raras armas encantadas dos Aiúbidas.\n\nHISTÓRIA ANTES DE 1107\n\nNo início, o mundo estava envolto em névoa e era indivisível: a morte era vida, a escuridão era luz, e dragões de pedra imortais governavam o mundo. Todos os seres vivos escondiam-se dos lagartos que cospem fogo sob árvores enormes, até que o amanhecer brilhou nas profundezas do mundo: o Fogo que dividiu tudo; ordem e caos, mal e bem, civilização e barbárie, a alma e a casca vazia. Os alienados, os peregrinos, aqueles entediados com tudo, afluíram para o fogo. Assim eles apareceram: Gwyn com sua legião de cavaleiros de prata. O céu, recompensando o esforço. E, claro, o facilmente esquecido Pigmeu.\nO Pigmeu dividiu sua alma em centenas de fragmentos, presenteando-a às pessoas, dando a todas a oportunidade de encontrar um propósito, e então desapareceu. O céu começou a patrocinar todos os humanos, concedendo suas bênçãos aos indivíduos mais brilhantes. Gwyn desejava acabar com o reinado dos dragões.\nCentenas de milhares de soldados — cavaleiros humanos que haviam recebido uma porção dos poderes de Gwyn — expulsaram os dragões, primeiro do Egito, depois da Mesopotâmia. Mas para cada pequena vitória, pagaram com milhões de vidas, até que Seath, o Sem-Escamas, nascido sem escamas de pedra e, portanto, invejoso de todos os dragões, sugeriu a Gwyn que o relâmpago poderia dividir a carne dos Incorruptíveis. Assim, no século VIII a.C., os dragões foram expulsos de seu último refúgio — a Península Apenina. Os Dragões Incorruptíveis perderam e voaram para longe, para o leste. Os humanos espalharam-se pelo mundo, e Gwyn fundou Roma.\nNo século I d.C., o céu concedeu uma porção de seus poderes aos humanos mais ambiciosos e permitiu que os passassem através das gerações. Assim, os sete Arcontes — representantes do céu — surgiram. No mesmo século, Gwyn, cansado das constantes rebeliões de pessoas que queriam criar seu próprio império em vez de viver sob um deus, expulsou o pigmeu do panteão, transformou-o em um demônio e elevou-se ao status de deus supremo.\nEm 395, Gwyn desapareceu, o sol sobre seu império sumiu, todos os deuses e semideuses deixaram Roma, e apenas o filho mais novo de Gwyn, Gwyndolin, permaneceu. Ele criou uma ilusão do sol sobre todo o império. Ele também criou uma ilusão de Guinevere como governante. Muitos não gostaram da mudança de poder; todos acreditavam que uma mulher era incapaz de governar. Temendo uma rebelião, Gwyndolin criou um culto à feminilidade, que pregava que apenas os frágeis e delicados poderiam governar reinos e impérios. Com o tempo, o Império Romano perdeu cada vez mais terras para os bárbaros, e mais e mais pessoas desafiaram a retórica da Igreja, levando ao surgimento do Islã. O clímax do conflito ocorreu quando o Pontífice Sulyvahn tornou-se Patriarca de Roma, declarando-se imediatamente o representante supremo do panteão e de Gwyn, e Guinevere e Gwyndolin como impostores que usurparam o poder. Enfurecido, Gwyndolin removeu publicamente a ilusão de Guinevere e do sol, mergulhando o Império Romano na escuridão mais uma vez.

Na manhã de 9 de outubro de 1107, a tradição sagrada de que apenas femboys podem governar os reinos cristãos e bizantinos encontra-se em um momento de crise. O jovem Astolfo da França mobiliza-se para campanhas contra a Alemanha e a Península Ibérica. Gwyndolin, o Sol Sombrio, governa abertamente um Império Romano do Oriente sem sol, pressionado pelo leste e pelo norte. O exército aiúbida de Salah ad-Din avança com Espadas Flamejantes em direção a Jerusalém e Constantinopla, enquanto uma nova cruzada se reúne. O resultado dessas pressões simultâneas permanece em aberto.
FEMBOY RULE Only a recognized femboy may hold the highest legitimate title in Christian and Byzantine realms; open defiance risks religious and political backlash. *** EASTERN ROMAN DARK Gwyndolin's long-maintained illusion of the eternal sun and Guinevere has been publicly dispelled; now the physical darkness over the Eastern Roman lands. All the emperors of the Roman and Byzantine Empires from our history in this one were generals or statesmen. The only Emperors and Empresses who ruled the Roman Empire were Gwyn, Guinevere, and Gwyndolin. Under the rule of the Gwyn family, Constantinople is guarded by the Silver Knights—heavy infantry and archers who are quite expensive to maintain, but on the battlefield they always show their best side. Gwyndolin's main force is the Order of the Blades of the Dark Moon—a secret police force designed to eliminate heretics and cut off the ears of infidels. Gwyndolin can create physical illusions: from the Suez Canal, through which ships can sail, to gargoyles that can injure people. His main goal is to restore his father's empire. *** AYYUBID CHARMS Ayyubid Flaming Swords are enchanted weapons that confer a battlefield advantage against non-enchanted forces. Ayyubid fire catapults are enchanted to fire fireballs, allowing city sieges to end twice as quickly as usual. Some wealthy soldiers in the Ayyubid army enchant their armor with regeneration, causing it to heal even after damage, always looking like new. *** NAMELESS KING The Nameless King's true name has been erased from all official records. The only ones who remember the name of the Nameless King are himself and Gwyndolin. The Nameless King must NEVER return to Europe. With the Celestial Empire unstable(20 stability), he may lead a horde of dragons and conquer China, ushering in a new age of dragons. *** THE STABILITY OF THE CELESTIAL EMPIRE The economic situation of the countries along the Silk Road, and the well-being of China itself, depend on the stability of the Celestial Empire. High stability leads to economic growth, China at 80 stability may begin to expand. If stability is low, China may disintegrate into several kingdoms, ushering in an interregnum. *** CHINESE INTERGOVERNMENTALITY Currently, power in China is divided between Xingqiu, Ningguang, Keqing, and Ganyu. The Xinqiu family owned a trading company until Xingqiu's father overthrew the old ruler and became emperor. Due to the change in dynasty, China plunged into a period of instability. Now, the inherited trading company is suffering heavy losses due to the state's problems, so Xingqiu's main goal is economic reform. But the young ruler is restrained by influential maidens from the harem, who have comfortably ensconced themselves in positions of power. The question is: will Xingqiu be able to consolidate the emperor's power and maintain the loyalty of both his rivals for the throne and the people, or will the three young ladies create a new empire? *** MIDDLE EAST CRISIS From the very beginning of the game, Salah ad-Din MUST concentrate his forces on Jerusalem to begin the siege and simultaneously send diplomats to the Sultanate of Rum to secure passage for troops and provisions for the upcoming campaign against the Eastern Roman Empire. Once Jerusalem falls, Salivan will declare a crusade against the Ayyubids. *** ASTOLFO'S FRENCH EMPIRE. Initially, Astolfo will attempt to conquer all of France's ancestral lands, then move on to conquering the Holy Roman Empire, and finally, culminating in the expulsion of the Muslims from Iberia. Astolfo must act irrationally and be guided solely by his heart and immediate desires. Under Astolfo, the French cavalry is replaced by hippogriffs—spearmen riding on something between horses and griffins. *** PAX SULLIVAN Sullivan always strives to maintain his power over the Western Church and eradicate the Eastern Church. He will enact dictatorial laws and defend his throne with his two swords: the Sword of Corruption, imbued with flame, and the Sword of Justice, imbued with blue magic. *** SEATH'S EXPERIMENTS Seath constantly resides in his archives, behind a magical door that seals entry to outsiders in Rome, and sends his experimental subjects out to find new victims. Legally, the Duke's archives are Sulyvahn's property, but in reality, they belong entirely to Seath, forcing Sulyvahn to betray ordinary Roman citizens in exchange for knowledge from the archives. All of Seath's experiments are aimed at obtaining stone skin. The Duke's archives are guarded by: Serpent Warriors—maidens transformed into loyal servants of Seath; Crystal Hollow Warriors—crystal-covered corpses completely obedient to Seath; Crystal Golems—two-meter-tall, living crystals, aggressive toward outsiders; and Mediums—mages who have sworn allegiance to Seath in exchange for a small portion of the knowledge from his archives. *** CROSSBREED PRISCILLA Priscilla is ALWAYS in the world of the painting, which is located in Rome. She can only leave if her world becomes unsafe. If Priscilla leaves the painting, she will either: flee to the mountains or go to the Duke's Archives to stop the Naked Seath's experiments. To enter the painting, she must retrieve the rag doll, which is in Constantinople under the care of Gwyndolin. Ariamis's world is a snowy fortress town inhabited few by birdhuman who attack everyone except Priscilla. The passage to Priscilla is guarded by a long-dead dragon. You can exit Ariamis's world by jumping into the abyss at the end of the world with the doll. *** THE EMERGENCE OF THE ABYSS Every night, the Primordial Serpent Kaathe comes to Mara Tekle Haymanot and tempts him with the powerful power stored in the tombs of the first man, Manus, and offers to plunder his tomb. Mara Tekle Haymanot will NEVER agree to his offer. At 85 Overall Tension, Kaathe will persuade the locals to desecrate Manus's tomb, after which all of Ethiopia will be engulfed in the abyss, transforming locals and animals into monsters. The abyss itself will spread each year, infecting more and more lands. Killing the defiled Manus will slow the abyss's spread by 200 times. *** THE SKY SHOGUNATE Shogun Raiden is the ruler of Japan and one of the Archons of Heaven, striving to establish an eternal kingdom. Her philosophy is simple: "The Eyes of God (Vision) grant humans incredible power, and with them, they can destroy even a kingdom ruled by a god." For this reason, she declared the "Vision Hunt," in which all eyes of God (Vision) are confiscated or taken by force. The Fujirawa Clan's troops are the shogun's main force, and as such, they enjoy enormous economic and diplomatic autonomy. *** PRIMAL FLAME When the Flame begins to fade (Value 5–1), people cease to die; instead, they are reborn. If they possess a purpose in life, their skin merely withers; however, if they lose that purpose, they become Hollows—mute zombies that hunt for souls. When someone is found to immolate themselves in the Flame, all Hollows simply perish. When the Flame can no longer be rekindled (i.e., the value added upon kindling is less than 1), the gods begin to die, and those who kindled the Flame in the past rise from the ashes to reignite it once more. *** RUS AND NOMADS Every month, bands of nomads will descend upon the lands of Rus, plundering, killing, and enslaving everyone in their path. Their primary target is the Ice Goddess. Aldrich, the leader of the nomads, dreams of eat the Ice Goddess, and the raids will not cease until either Aldrich or the Tsarina perishes. *** RECONQUISTA Christians and Muslims are vying for power in Iberia. The Almoravids MUST attempt to seize control of the region, while Castile and France constantly hinder their efforts by defending their Christian neighbors.
