I mean, there’s only so many times you can go “And then, they killed everyone.” before it gets mind-numbing.
At least a high functioning psychopath can provide some genuinely interesting dynamics and perspectives for a plot. Less so with some psychotic, frothing murder-machine.
What if they are really polite about it? 
“I’m terribly sorry chap, I’m rather famished and your confidante looks positively delectable.”
Is that some newfangled way of flirting?
getting cannibal vibes from this lmao… mods pls don’t be mad it’s just an observation lol
He said the same thing and here we are.
Hubris kills.
Nah, I’d still win.
famous last words
Also the best last words.
Does anybody know if there’s a difference in picking the options to “direct the power” in chap 5? Im pretty confused on what does it all mean. Like, won’t the MC, being the Wight King, have all the powers of a Wight King at their disposal?
It’s meant more as a manner to express how your main character interacts with power, their attitude towards it. Whether they are forcefully wrenching control, pulling at the strings trying to get it to obey of its own volition, or confronting power with power to subdue it.
It’s a relic of an era where I was trying to find direction, and mostly focused on writing the story rather than bothering with stats.
When I remake the stats for the wight king, I’ll come back to these choices and adapt them to the new system.
As it stands right now, it’s for flavor more than anything.
I meant to respond to bl00dragon’s comment asking if a polite cannibal made things better lol.
Heh
Terribly sorry old chap, but I’m going to eat you now and chase your ribs with a spot of tea
Not only a cannibal but also a British? is there any decency left in this world? smh
“I can excuse cannibalism, but I draw the line at being british!”
“You can excuse cannibalism?”
When you really think about it, human beings as food is way too common in this world. Get fed on by demons, by abyssal beings, by the fae, by the occasional fellow humanoid when times get tough… they really don’t have a great spot in the food chain!
So whats the difference between a Wight king and a Lich king?
From having way too much time and reading all 5116 comments on this threat I think the key diff is that the Wight King is a singular existence (two WK can’t exist at the same time)unique and well king of all the undead: vamps; werewolves; ghouls and of course lichs. Also there is no lich king, only archlichs I believe.
You’re not even the only one I saw scroll up and seeing all the embarrassing things I’ve said, you people are terrifying. I admire the dedication though.
I’m not sure if you’re asking for the difference between a wight king and a powerful lich, or between the wight king and Warcraft’s Lich King™. I’m not an expert in warcraft lore, so I’m not even going to mention anything about the Lich King.
In both cases the better question being: “What do they have in common?”
Besides being undead, powerful, magical and usually in a leadership position, not much.
The Wight King is born from a powerful ancient curse, similar to many other undead curses, but unique in many ways. The curse always returns, should a wight king fall it’s only a matter of time until another compatible corpse awakens through the the wight king’s curse. Almost nothing is truly known of the curse, only whispered in fear while one is awakened, and seemingly hushed and forgotten altogether after they fall.
The Wight King is fatality and uncertainty, at once the dark hand of entropy and the blazing heart of chaos. Capable of incredible feats both of destruction and creation, they are heralds of change whose coming is another toll of the bell of the end times.
How could a mere lich, a mortal who borrowed eternity from the void, ever compare?
The once and forever throne
So a Wight king is just the concept of death?
