any relation to royck's rook

I was gonna call it Royck Town originally so likely

 

[Lord Bradorian]

who's royck and why he got a gang member from ac syndicate

 

[Lorsh]

There is a Sir Royck serving in Berngard that has relations to the original founders, they probably elected a different mayor by now but they'd still be a prominent townling gentry family

 

[Heyitsjiwon]

Sounds like someone to borrow money from.

 

[Lord Bradorian]

I've also considered a loan, was planning on it for the stones from Midburgh but not doing that anymore since I have a road now

 

[Heyitsjiwon]

Man, I'm so curious as to how my battle unfolds. This is going to be a brutal wait.

 

[Heyitsjiwon]

Also, now that Swanton Keep has fallen and the Baron surrendered... what happens to the Lordships under the Baron? In theory, are they now the vassals of Myre? Or has the Baron only surrendered the keep in exchange for freedom?

I imagined the Lordship of Greffold is still fighting against the invaders

Hold up... I just realized... wasn't Swanton's eldest son made a knight and part of the Royal Guard (rumored to be a political hostage)? Who the heck is this kid who got captured in a failed escape attempt?

his other beloved son

Pfft, pushover.

 

[Lord Bradorian]

If I were him I'd probably surrender tbh, or torch my place and try to evac to Wesgrath before it's attacked by the rebs

medieval guerilla war pretty sick tho

You call it medieval guerilla warfare. I call it being a free company. We are not the same.

 

[Lord Bradorian]

well assuming Swanton was stripped of his titles he could form a new Barony of Greffold or sum if he can defeat whatever garrison Bomric leaves behind

 

[Lord Bradorian]

pretty sure Lorsh is gonna roll for a riot or mutiny or something in my town cus I'm summoning levy for seemingly no reason during spring planting, giving townlings country land, cracking down on petty crime, cheaping out on paying the shipmasters their dues and doing tax survey despite warnings of unrest ☠ I'm a good lord I treat my people good

 

[Heyitsjiwon]

I am curious about what is going to happen in the south with the rebellious Duke. Its potentially very possible that the Duke could just attract a lot of bad attention. A lot of opportunists just circling around, waiting for the royal army to show uo and just tag along in hopes of gaining something.

 

[Lord Bradorian]

That's if the southern barons wanna join the army at all. Most are pretty sore about Valcay still. Maybe at first but if the rebs start taking some serious dubs, like beating back Sykes for instance, I expect to see a lot of loyalists switching sides

slightly lollygagging but here is a cool 1257AD screenshot that is likely going to be appropriate (troops edited by be, the vanilla versions look dumb af)

 

[Lord Bradorian]

Yea it's like what 700-900 horsed combatants altogether not a very big battle but could be decisive especially since both commanders and their high officers are presumably on the field. Bumrick gets whacked that might just be the end of organized rebellion in ur area. The levies are unlikely to fight if their nobles are killed or scattered at Bronsfield. Just to further stoke your anticipation

 

[Heyitsjiwon]

Yep, it's a pretty major battle. At first, I considered borrowing from the battle of Bremule and just trying to hold the settlement with the men dismounted and packed tight in the streets to wait for them to charge. Buuuuuut, that would give initiative to the enemy who could honestly probably just wait me out and get more men before attacking. So, decided to try and fight on my own terms. Alternatively, could have fallen back to Wesgrath, but that would do little and likely just lead to a pitched battle with the levies.

Welp, looking forward to how it all unfolds

Yea, depends on how big the Royal Army is. If it is significantly larger... I imagine a lot of people will toe the line and try to join up to hopefully take parcels of the Duke's lands.

 

[Heyitsjiwon]

Also, I have to admit... I was more of a fan of Prophesy of Pendor than 1257 AD.
