I know a lot of players don't stick to a monotone cultural getup when they play, but a lot of players probably do what I do; try to stick to culturally appropriate armours and weapons for the culture I am playing. I take this mentality with me to smithing as well, where I try to smith and use weapons that suit my characters culture appropriately. But I have some exceptions; I often use animal pelts for shoulder armour when playing as a Vlandian or Imperial. If I play as a Sturgian I may use some Khuzait armour. And if I play as a mercenary or Lord for a different cultural faction than my character is from, I may use a mix of regional armours and use my own culture for a weapon. Example; I played a Nord corsair mercenary for the Empire. I used gilded scale Imperial armour with gilded scale shoulderguards, golden pirate gauntlets and boots, and a brass Aserai helmet with a Nord one handed sword with gilded pummel and handguard. Anyone else give themselves similar cultural restrict...
The Rhodok Renaissance seems to have ended before it could begin. Swadian troops, for the first time in living memory, have secured a foothold south of the Lyenn. From Maras Castle, the Swadians will wreak havoc throughout the Rhodok highlands.
Swadia's chivalry bought the dying kingdom a badly needed morale victory, but Swadia's nobility finds the situation less cheery. The victory came far short of their hopes. The Rhodoks still hold Yalen. With Swadia direly short of men, land and resources they will have a hard time pushing their advantage. The Rhodoks, on the other hand, are now pinned down by the loss of Maras Castle.
The Lyenn barrier has fallen, and the hounds of hell are unleashed. Rumors speak of civil war in both realms. This bodes ill for all, as the Vaegir king looms threateningly. Over half of the combined lands of the Rhodoks and Swadians have fallen into their power. The hope of a true united front against the Vaegirs slips further and further away from grasp.
Despite all, King Renaud has gained the initiative. The coming months will tell if he can turn that initiative into new hope. Perhaps the era of the hammer and the anvil is not yet done.
In Meta Terms
Thank you for attending CC#49! Today the Swadians took the field 4-2 against the Rhodoks before the Rhodoks held in their ground in the siege, 2-0. The Swadians took Maras Castle following the field battle. I'm told the Rhodoks have gotten a bit excited about the prospect of dumping their king (again). Here is the new map.
