[QUOTE="arkwright, post: 9067898, member: 6925177"] If I'm reading this correctly, King Boyle handed over rulership to Tomas Masaryk? Interesting. That's the King naming a Godhand, a holy warrior of Crisillyir as ruler of Risur. Immediately, each nation is going to want to know where his true loyalty lies, with many in the nobility/among the people quick to reject him as an outsider. He would quickly need to amass power/legitimacy. The approval of the previous monarch is a start, but more to do. Given that the King specifically asked him to deal with the nobility, I can see a full civil war- Cavaliers and Roundheads- happening, ending with the power of the nobility being completely subordinated by the King and his bureaucracy. That, or the nobles win. I imagine the Ob would go ballistic, seeing as this directly opposes their goals; a Risur that isn't aligning with Danor, a Risur that is aligning with their worst enemy, a Risur that is aligning with an anti-technology nation. Nic/Kasvarina/Stanfield might try to assassinate him. Or stanfield might try to leverage his position as a deva to try and recruit Tomas. I wonder how the fey would feel. What respect does Tomas have for their culture, for paying them their tithes? Maybe this accelerates the fey-Risuri diplomatic crisis, such that the AP begins with the Unseen Court already split/in civil war. Kasvarina and the elves might be pissed. If Risur starts supporting Crisillyiri colonisation, I can see a big uptick in vekeshi assassinations in Risur, causing destabilization. How is Risur chasing Danor out of the archipelago? Even mimicking their tech, Risur couldn't do that. Is Crisillyir fully backing them? If so, and Risur has gained full control over the archipelago, that could be a bootstrap to superpower status, trading heavily in island dyes and spices. Given that Clergy beliefs about the planes are directly opposed to the Skyseers (and are correct), I can see the influence of the skyseers being sharply diminished, what with also the recent unreliability of their prophecies. Has Risur imported any of Crisillyir's anti-tech beliefs? I think there's a good chance the Aodhan-steals-a-ship plot wouldn't be accepted in a post-Tomas Risur. I like the idea of a Risur-Clergy alliance being the catalyst for the Ob to consider drastic action, the Axis Ritual. I've described some big consequences, but given everything, it might be most realistic if Tomas 'fails'- if he fails to take full control of the nation and establish his legitimacy and only makes a small impact before giving up his crown. Could be good if his most important changes were covered up/only discovered by the PCs. Imagine for a moment that General McConville, current US army chief of staff, was somehow made Prime Minister of France. Chances are any attempts at significant reform will be met with enormous distrust and reactionary chaos, rather than americanising France. Run whatever's best for your game, I'm just pitching ideas.
