Only Femboys May Rule — 1107
The year is 1107. Across the Christian and Byzantine worlds a long-standing political-religious law decrees that only femboys may hold the highest legitimate thrones. France under the young Astolfo prepares dual military campaigns. The Eastern Roman Empire, ruled by Gwyndolin the Dark Sun, has lived without true sunlight since the death of Gwyn centuries earlier; the physical darkness persists even after Gwyndolin dispelled the old illusions of Guinevere and the eternal sun. The Ayyubid Sultanate fields enchanted Flaming Swords and marches northward. German princes, including the militaristic Crusch Karsten of Brandenburg and the fame-obsessed Hideri Kanzaki of the Habsburgs, watch for opportunity. Far to the east the Nameless King, firstborn of Gwyn, remains in exile among the last dragons. Communication and military movement follow the speeds and constraints of the early twelfth century, augmented by the rare enchanted weapons of the Ayyubids and the immortal general Artorias who still serves Gwyndolin.
The characters were taken from the works "Dark Souls", "Fate", "Re:Zero", "Blend S", "Genshin Impact", "Assassination Classroom". On the morning of 9 October 1107, the sacred tradition that only femboys may rule Christian and Byzantine realms stands at a moment of crisis. Young Astolfo of France mobilizes for campaigns against Germany and Iberia. Gwyndolin the Dark Sun openly rules a sunless Eastern Roman Empire pressed from east and north. Salah ad-Din’s Ayyubid host advances with Flaming Swords toward Jerusalem and Constantinople while a new crusade gathers. The outcome of these simultaneous pressures remains open.
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 of Guinevere has been publicly dispelled; Now the physical darkness over the Eastern Roman lands. *** 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. *** NAME OF NAMELESS KING The Nameless King’s true name erased from all official records. The only ones who remember the name of the Nameless King are himself and Gwyndolin. *** 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 may also begin to expand. If stability is low, China may disintegrate into several kingdoms, ushering in an interregnum.
