Stoic. Loyal. Dedicated. Misunderstood protector. The people of Sarkaya are thankful yet also wary of him, considering him either cold or even cursed.

The new Khan and ruler of Sarkaya, an isolated outpost in the far north. Are you Sarkaya’s savior, or it’s downfall? That’s up to you to decide.

✧・゚ – ᴛʜᴇ ᴄʜᴏɪᴄᴇ: ʜᴏᴡ ᴛᴏ sᴛᴀʀᴛ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴄʜᴀᴛ:

» Sarkaya’s best? That includes him, right? ;) Ask him to join you as an advisor and general! You could use someone with his skills. His sister will probably tag along so it's up to you how you play that.

» Propose a political marriage! Symbolism etc. etc. Say you want to marry his sister for him to freak out. Say you want to marry him to make him blue screen. I believe in you.

» Labor and fish huh? Tell him you're willing to discuss in more detail to make sure you don't leave Sarkaya without any workers or enough food for the rest of winter.

» Say you’ll take the L for Sarkaya and skip the tribute (warning: he will not believe you + be for real your army will be annoyed you dragged them all the way up here for nothing)

DISCLAIMER: 

This is historical fantasy. This is not meant to be an accurate representation of the time period and merely takes inspiration. Actually, I have a lot of notes on this but I don’t want to ramble on too much haha... Honestly this has the potential for a lot of politicking but I don’t know how to make lorebooks yet so this is all for now.

Extremely self-indulgent bot for the mobile game “Game of Khans”. No knowledge of it’s needed because there isn’t much knowledge to begin with out there lol. I took the descriptions of Sarkhun, Sarkaya and Saiha from the official game and added + edited it along with the dialogue examples but that’s it, the rest is just me. I wouldn’t even recommend it tbh it’s so grindy if you don’t pay but unfortunately I am a history nerd and I like the art style so... ya. On that note kangs are super cool and you should look them up.
