@Havenstone Will _lead variable matter in the mechanics of remote rebellion management and how the band leader fares without us? Like, if there would be a difference between Simon band leader that got some lead points during lets say ambush on Hector veneurs and Simon that didnt get any in the playthrough.

Yeah, yeah, betting closed a week ago. 
I believed in Aprilduin (as I believed in Marchduin before that). But I’m afraid actual April has not cooperated. Glitches on my new laptop have taken way more of my time than I’d wanted, as have meetings about various legal and governance issues with the charities of which I’m a trustee. 
I’m closing out the month still working my way through the thicket of Irduin endgame states.
But for what it’s worth: I believe in Mayduin.

You could certainly do worse than consoling yourself with a Lagavulin or an Ardbeg. Have you managed to squirrel away a bottle of Pappy’s or Whistlepig for the completion of the series?

But do you believe in Irdumay?
(Which name is better has been a serious point of discussion.)

Mayduin is definitely superior.

ADAT, the Karagond Empire became the Hegemony. Not everyone liked the name change, but I think it’s stood the test of time.

Three cheers for the Ηγεμονία and the Θαυματάρχη!

It makes more sense given Karagond is based on Greece where the term originated.

@Havenstone Out of curiosity, how old are the stories about Archlich Ghaesh and the Unquiet Dead? Were they in circulation before Karagon was unified and Hera started conquering? Or did they start circulating after Braurach became covered in Xaos-storms?

So, as an Iranian 23year-old I have been introduced to Basij from early school years. They are a kind of militia group that in Iran its based on the religious conviction and the resolve to protect the country and be a martyr for religious and country defense.
What I want to reach about to is that you can add that in your game as you already have with martyr maker story. It would just become to a bigger scale. I can imagine that in Eclect / Nationalist path and with a good charismatic MC to be capable of inspiring a large scale martyring operation. You can think more about that to see if it’s something you would add to XoR.
As about continuing this book till Grand Shayard or taking that to next book… I would like to play more and sooner but I think making an individual book just for Grand Shayard would make it more detailed and with much more depth about the progress of that Arc of this fantastic story you have wrote. If you choose to spliting the pervious book two to a new two books as you may want to release this sooner, I would suggest the name of the new third book " Dark Court " something like that maybe “High Court” or “The Archon” or “The Archonty” or “The Grand City” as this book would be more centered around that city and province and archons court and the fall of grand shayard and the archonty of shayard in our hands. So I think these are good possible names for the 3rd book.
Also you could choose the name “The politician” as we will go largely in the political situation and will play more politics there.
And I am as a same mind about the name Wardfall. That would be more appropriate name for the book when Thaumatarch and the Hegemony will fall.

I would love to respond to all your questions and comments right now…but in the name of Mayduin, I’m signing out again. I’ll pop back on for a couple of ADATs, but otherwise, my plan is to stay off until I can properly introduce you to Irduin.

7600 words added in the last two days, and I’m popping back in for a quick ADAT: ten years ago today @Iello joined the discussion for the first time.
He’s since been a consistent source of encouragement and good advice, especially on Greek language issues, both on the thread and behind the scenes. Thanks!

@Havenstone I know I probably have my share of questions in queue already but I really need to ask about something.
Will we be able to disguise/work as Jongler/Bard in Irduin? That would fit so damn well with charismatic MCs, especially the ones with history with Carles.

I’m guessing you write a little bit faster than me, what with the vast vocabulary + set goal of having the chapter out by the end of the month, but just half that number at 3,800 takes me on average about 8 hours (!) to write. 8 hours a day for two days back to back of just sitting at a keyboard and writing would absolutely kill me, and if your hours are anywhere close to that number, I am so sorry.
But like, woah, good job on the crazy fast writing pace too.

Wow! I can’t believe it’s been that long. I very much appreciate the shout out and being remembered in general! I think back on this game often and can’t wait to see how things go.
