Lords of Aswick - Out Now!

While the second book does seem to be interesting, women of the era weren’t really as interesting to me so I’ll more than likely skip the second book, since I was also not a fan of the religious aspect either XD. I tended to find the subject a tad boring for me since the clergy was not something that kept me interested; save maybe the crusades. I adored women of Ancient Rome and Feudal Japan, they seemed to have a fair bit more women in places of power other than religion… So, I’ll be skipping this book and will more than likely settle for the standard choices come the third book. Still, wish for the 2nd book’s success none the less, and here’s hoping we can have a “Joan of Arc” in the sense of our MC having some more of a military presence… kinda like the Onna Bugeisha of Japan. Idk… I just never found myself too interested when it came to women in Medieval Europe

Brother it’s the opposite of boring so give it a college to try plus there’s no Intrigue like church intrigue. Plus I so want to be Papa Joan!

There are two major branches, of which at least one of them branches again almost straight away. There’ the path to become Archbishop, which will take place in Norwall and concern the MC mostly with the affairs of the reformist movement, cajoling for allies and power, establishing a rival church, that sort of thing. Then there’s the path to become an Exarch, and a path to attempt to become a Holy Father, both of which are bundled under the umbrella of staying with the Holy Mother Church. An Exarch will be returning to Norwall to get rid of the pesky reformists there and may wind up using a certain Earldom as a home base for that, while the Holy Father path will be more broader issues that revolve around re-establishing the Holy Father’s authority so the stray flocks can be brought back into the fold over a longer period of time.

@Goshman

Exarch is the voice and/or hand of the Holy Father. Someone with great authority who gets sent to intermediate and solve problems, grant the Holy Father’s blessings, raise armies, make Kings kneel, etc. Whenever the Holy Father’s emissaries need to wield ultimate authority on behalf of the Holy Father, you send an Exarch.

If you’ve ever gone to the crusades in FoHB, you would’ve had dealings with an Exarch.
