Now that I have returned from Ban World, I present to everyone here three different pieces! One from the main saga and two from new sources. Risunerbro needs to read these, he will love it given his fetish.
Main Saga:Chapter XVIII: Love conquers all (rentry.org)
King Magnus:King Magnus "the Bold": Part I (rentry.org)
The Empress’s Diary: Entry from the Diary of Empress Emylia: April 25th, 1108. (rentry.org)
If you read carefully and have read my prior works carefully, you will notice some discrepancies between all three of these accounts, especially the second compared with the main saga. I have made it clear from the beginning that not everything in the main saga is true and neither will be the Pro-Magnus Account “King Magnus the Bold” either.
Both are written by narrators sympathetic to one side and are written in different ways too. I will tell you now that both stories are leaving stuff out on purpose too. Also, the main Saga is not written by one person either, but if you have noticed carefully, it has multiple writers in it as it was commissioned by Pomerlane himself. Magnus’ account will not have this at all, one person wrote it all to defend his former Liege from the lampooning he received.
Emylia’s diary I felt was a good addition to the overall story because it shows us the feelings of one of the most important people in this lore arc from a more intimate perspective. One detail from her diary if you have paid attention DOES contradict the Saga directly, and there perhaps is a reason why the Saga isn’t telling the truth about this one detail. Speculate :)
I am also going to state now that the person who wrote feign instead of feint did it because he uses the same word for both meanings. It totally wasn’t me having autocorrect mess me up and being too lazy to fix my maps!
Also to Retrobro, I don’t know if you read the piece I wrote with the Three Goddesses but you are not getting the “Bringer of Light” per our deal. I will give you the sword he used prior to that, which is still in my opinion a fair trade because that sword is famously used at Pappenheim, the climax of Act I. If you want more, tell me and we can work out the details; but “Bringer of Light” is not on the table because it is the sort of thing that just can’t be bought due to its meaning to the Dynasty.
I also just realized that all of this takes place in the Southern Hemisphere so because I can’t be bothered, I decree that our months are different than that of the North. For example, when it is June in the north, it will be December in the South. Don’t overcomplicate it in your heads, it just means that the months are the same in both lands in terms of season. I guess if you cross the equator the month changes.(I don’t know what calendar is used or if we are using the Gregorian Calendar anyways.)
Rosebro, let’s start writing about interactions between Rosebutas and the rest of NijiEN. It’s interesting that you only have communicated with outsiders LMAOOOO
As always, and especially since I have two new works, I desire your honest feedback on what is good, what is meh and what is awful.
