In a recent playthrough, I was witness to perhaps the greatest unscripted plot twist in Calradic history. It played out like something out of Game of Thrones.
As a vassal of King Ragnar of the Nords, we were waging a laughably one-sided war against the Kingdom of Swadia. Because of Swadia's feasting habits, we did not ever encounter any of their armies in the field as we grinded down castle after castle. It was early in the game, so no one else had taken any Swadian fiefs yet. We had taken Suno, Ryibelet and Derchios Castle. Ragnar was particularly fond of our Marshall, Jarl Irya, cursed be his name, so he awarded every captured fief to him.
Then, treason. The former Lord of Tihr was found guilty of crimes against the realm and was exiled. His fiefs were awarded once again to Jarl Irya, cursed be his name.
The campaign ends on a high note and the marshal hosts a feast in the city of Tihr. All the lords are invited. I decide to rescue a kidnapped girl from Sargoth before joining the feast myself.
The feast is well underway and every lord is in the keep. Their parties are (presumably) wandering around the city drunk and partying, all under the watchful eyes of the garrison.
As I attempt to enter the city, a few ruffians (sea raiders hiding in the texture) remark on the aesthetics qualities of the head that I have on my shoulders and what they would like to do with it. After a brief scuffle, the treachary was revealed.
As I returned to the overworld, I was greeted with the message that Jarl Irya had defected to the Kingdom of Swadia. All of the lords and ladies in the keep, including King Ragnar, were immediately thrown into the dungeon. More than half our kingdom, including the fiefs we had so bravely taken from Swadia, had flipped with Irya, cursed be his name.
At this time, I also received word that Sargoth had been besieged by King Harlaus... and the entire Swadian army. Count Irya was more than happy to join them in sacking the city. Less than a month of hopeless defense later, the Kingdom of the Nords was no more.
"And now the rains weep o'er our halls, with no one left to hear."
