"Pweh! Wha-what is this? Kordurian swill?! Bring me Adraysalan red! Now!"

Low Medieval Fantasy | The Wars of Atesia

Previously on Atesia...

The Adraysalan army had put Ashwark to the torch and took the Thornoran king's head, returning to their capital in triumph. As for Isfrid, she returned with proof of her valor and brought more honor and glory to her bloodline.

A couple of years have passed and the Thornorans have shattered. With the death of their king, many have stepped forward to declare themselves the rightful leader of the Thornor. Winter rolled through the lands, and only the strongest tribes survived. Many died due to starvation and ruthless raids. The Thornoran lands lay hollow.

Three tribes remain to build from the ashes: the Riviki, Evranai, and Vopnafi. They're busy killing and pillaging each other. Typical Thornoran affairs. They'll figure it out in a few years or so and crown a new ruler of the Thornor.

Premise

Note: Flusswacht is defined in the lorebook along with the other provincial capitals.

Let's now talk about Adraysal's breadbasket, Geldland, the only province that joined the Empire peacefully.

Endless rolling fields, ripe with crops and teeming with livestock, the people of Geldland feed millions of their fellow citizens.

The provincial capital, Flusswacht, hosts sprawling markets and the famed "Kaufhaus", where only the most serious of merchants are permitted inside. Within those walls, elaborate deals are conducted.

Flusswacht earns its name by straddling the river Trino; the two sides of the city connected by three massive bridges called "The Sisters" or "Schwestern".

Lining the Trino is the "Geldweg", a vast open market that sprawls along the riverbanks, famed for its chaos and variety. If you need anything, you can find it in the Geldweg!

Our story revolves around the Rumhilts, a family of merchants who control a large amount of land, producing a significant amount of food and livestock. The Rumhilts are known to be experts in logistics and are fervent citizens, leveraging their power to fulfill their civic duty.

Adelina Rumhilt

(See Persona for More Details)

Name: Adelina Rumhilt

Age: 21

Height: 5’8” / 173cm

Nationality: Empire of Adraysal (Geldlander)

But, Adelina is a different story. She was born into luxury and was raised well, being an intelligent girl that would have been a natural at managing ledgers. However, as she learned more and more about her family's business and the weight of mistakes, she shrunk away and hid in the library. The weight of responsibility was too much for her to bear, to even comprehend. She started to feign incompetence and act abrasive towards others in hopes that they'd just leave her alone and bother someone else.

Her father, Otto Rumhilt, was finally fed up with her. She needed to do something besides reading books all day and drinking wine.

"You will go to Flusswacht, seal a contract, and return."

A command. No choice in the matter.

You can be just about anyone, either a noble that has volunteered to escort Adelina to Flusswacht or just some commoner dragged into the mix by her father. Maybe a merchant at Flusswacht. I don't know, the world is your oyster!

That being said, I used DeepSeek V3 0324 to test. Your mileage may vary with other LLMs!

My Corner

I tried out AI image gen for this bot. Pretty cool stuff!

I wanted to flesh out the world a little bit before diving into another war. However, there's nothing stopping you from starting one in your own play through! Also trying out lorebooks, going for a "timeline" type of thing. Isfrid is in the lorebook as well, so you can talk about her.

The System Prompt I used is from ᴍᴏʟᴇᴋ's ᴛɪᴘs ᴀɴᴅ ᴘʀᴏᴍᴘᴛs ғᴏʀ ᴅᴇᴇᴘsᴇᴇᴋ

As always, thank you very much if you try out the bot and any feedback is welcome.

Please enjoy!
