Choice of Rebels: Uprising — Lead the revolt against a bloodthirsty empire!

For my modded mc that defaults to four “nobles” including the guy he absolutely hates most in the world.
For the non-modded one that defaults to the same plus Suzanne.

No, they will always, eventually come gunning for poor Bleys as the most convenient scapegoat. Circumstances may be slightly different in all of those, but poor Bleys is only safe with the rebellion, or if we don’t do the tax raid, but then if we don’t do that I feel we’re brigands, not true rebels as out of all the stuff the mc can do that is the one thing that is even a pinprick to the Hegemony itself, as opposed to the local “authorities”.

Seems likely, doesn’t it.

It’s been mentioned that not only is Ismene sympathetic to the rebellion, but will aid it in G2(and likely later games). And what prologue did you pick? If you saved Wolfbait, there’s one guy on that list who isn’t an aristo, same for Olynna.

Carles. My mc is kinda disappointed a figure he has fond childhood memories of turned out to be a spy and a traitor.

As an Eclesiast she likely comes from the aristocracy.

Kinda hard to do that when you’re dead, well unless you’re also unquiet, I guess. :sweat_smile: My mc always shifts the “blame” to the noble in order to be able to extricate Bleys and he’s not going to betray a useful merchant contact.

Perhaps, although her parents might’ve been Ecclesiasts as well.

If you’re talking about the Laconniers, you would only know Carles worked for them if your MC had 75% homelander, something which your MC does not have.

I’m guessing she will hide you and get you out of the Rim and into Irduin, which is just as useful as Alaine’s fencing.

Even without that it’s fairly obvious he’s a low level Hallasurq spy and since the Hallusurqs are Laconnier backers it probably won’t be that difficult to put two and two together by game 2.

Sauce?

I don’t remember that coming up?

Will we have a chance to ask or find out how the Abhumans handle theurgy?

Not sure why you replied to me there but probably?

You need to do Mara’s playthrough for that to come up, if you do so “badly” that you don’t stop the fourth Harrowing, or of course if you’re like Mara and do so on purpose, you get “rescued” by a noble and later on your rebellion gets some magic spears courtesy of Hallassur and the Laconniers. Meaning one is supplying the other.
Very few people will see it, yes.

His banter with the Alastor captain. It’s what led me to first suspect it way, way back. And since my mc is far more clever than I am, he’d at least have the suspicion by now too.

Accident - I mixed up who I was speaking to while I was checking files :grin:

The total there is a loss of aristo rep.

I’ve done that playthrough, it’s just that I don’t understand why Theurge-forged spears = Halassur?(Yes I know that Halassur makes Theurge-forged arms a lot)

I still don’t understand why Theurge-forged spears + Laconniers = Halassur?

Because if you don’t get captured, you don’t have a connection with the Laconniers, and thus the Halassurqs.

It’s a prevailing theory. The Halassurqs are the ones who specialize in Theurge-forged weapons (as part of their military doctrine), while the Laconniers are highly unlikely to have the necessary theurgic talent. The theory goes that Shayardene independence would require the destruction of the Hegemony and wouldn’t prevent Halassur from absorbing its own “rightful claims” in the Hegemony.

Just to let y’all know, I’m creating a Rebels discord.(I’m getting the channels and roles worked out before I post a link) (If @Havenstone is not ok with it, he can of course tell me to delete it)

Here it is.

Yes, but as with Phalangite ranks, I haven’t yet fleshed out all the vocabulary. :slight_smile: Worldbuilding is an ever-ongoing process…

Your potential friends (or foes) M’kyar and Laj-jas will both be happy to discuss this in Game 2.

I’m sorry to ask, because this has probably been answered before, do we get a continuation of romance with our cousin Hector? One that doesn’t end with one of us dead, imprisoned, tortured or broken?

Yes, and maybe.:sunglasses:

We’ll see quite what the “continuation” ends up looking like, but there will certainly be…um, something exciting… for characters who chose to have a romantic past with Hector.

As @Ramidel said, though: for the second part of your question all bets are off.

I suppose same for Calea :slight_smile:

Although i think her romance route is most difficult

@Havenstone In the real world if we have difficulty making sense of what we see, one option would be to magnify what we see. Is there a Telos-vision equivalent for magnifying Telos-vision itself? I would note the idea of magnifying light dates back to at least 424 BCE so perhaps trying something similar with Telos instead of light might have occurred to someone.
