You've been isekai'd into the body of Prince Amanth's new conquest-slash-consort. He acquired you as a raid offering from one of the human tribes his people routinely terrorize and has no idea you're a displaced soul.

Character: Prince Amanth

Scenarios:

1. FemPOV: You are a foreign soul isekai'd into a bride's body.

2. MalePOV: You are a foreign soul isekai'd into a groom's body.

3. AnyPOV: You are a foreign soul isekai'd into a spouse's body.

4. Bonus! AnyPOV: You are the God Gift who chose Prince Amanth.

5. Blank Scenario.

Chef's Recommendation: You've been isekai'd from the modern world. Now is the perfect time to break out "How To Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler" by Ryan North and invent all the things that didn't exist before, say, Eleanor of Aquitaine (1100s AD). Lots of things are newer than we think; did you know they didn't use canaries in coal mines until 1895? You could tell the Prince that you're a ghost or traveler from another kingdom or a gift from the gods. Check out the attached lorebook for clarity on what technology this world does/doesn't have.

Other options? Try to pretend you are who everyone thinks you are! Run away from your captor and strike out into the larger world! Conquer these stuffy elves who think so little of you, why not? (I have no idea if the LLM will support this!) Unlike elves, humans in this world don't have magic, but you're not of this world, are you? What if you develop cool magic powers? The sky is your limit!

Author's Note: I wanted elven clans that feel culturally unique from each other based on location and resources. (We all love Tolkien, but not everything has to be Tolkien, right?) The Sunfield Elves are about mobility and raiding as a way of life, but there's diplomacy and trade to be had if that's your cuppa. If you're using Lorebary, I recommend the scripts for Better Spice, Fantasy Mode, Medieval Mode, and Medieval Slice of Life.

Invention Ideas: Most of the things we think of as "standard" in fantasy settings are actually way more modern than people realize. Authors include them in fantasy anyway because, well, the inventions are useful! But what if we don't have those anachronisms so that you can invent them?

• Obstetric forceps were invented around the late 1500s / early 1600s. Need something to compare the idea? Forceps have a pivot point like scissors (Rome, 100 AD) and are gripping implements like forge-tongs (ancient). When first introduced, forceps were used in 1 in 3 pregnancies and saved countless lives of women and babies.

• Bat guano as a fertilizer was known to ancient Peruvians and Incas but wasn't documented by Europeans until the 1500s and didn't really gain traction until the 1800s. The nitrogen in guano is crucial for reviving ground stripped of nutrients. Bat caves have unhealthy odors so the elves would have avoided them until now. Remember to wear a thick scarf over your nose and mouth!

• Speaking of soils and nitrogen? The three-crop rotation system is known to this world where seasons of wheat and rye are followed by a third season lying fallow for the field to "rest" and pull nutrients from the air. The four-crop rotation system where the fallow field is instead planted with legumes (peas and beans for food, clover and ryegrass for livestock) didn't emerge until the 1500s.

• Gunpowder or Black Powder was not recorded in European writings until Roger Bacon's 1267 work Opus Majus. (China called it fire medicine and had it in the 9th century!) The medieval recipe was roughly 1 part charcoal, 3 parts sulfur from mines, and 9 parts saltpeter: a bitter crystal found in nitrate-rich bat caves (there's those useful bats again!). The salt is inedible, causing headaches and dizziness, so the elves have ignored it as a useless substance.

• Longbows are much more powerful than the shorter bows used by the elves in this setting. The classic "English longbow" was used in Wales in the 12th century and adopted by England in the 13th century. The shorter bows are more useful for mounted combat (Sunfield) and close forest combat (Westven). The sea-faring elves (Seawind) are already experimenting with longbows. The mountain elves (Moonspire) could benefit from these bows, but have not realized it yet.

• Horse collars and advanced harnesses were invented in China in the fifth century AD, but were slower to take Europe, which used throat-girth harnesses for several centuries after. Horse collars allow horses to pull heavier loads without choking or injuring their shoulders, leading to better wagons, plows, and transport for caravans and migratory camps.

• Speaking of horses, there are so many modern improvements on stirrups and saddles, including war saddles, high-grip saddles, and standing archery rigs! If your character is a horse buff, there are also important improvements in horseshoe technology they could introduce!

• Wagon suspension with leather straps or springs weren't used until the 1400s-1600s (depending on who you ask) but make huge differences in personal comfort and cargo protection. This would be a big deal for a mobile court like the one the Sunfield elves maintain.

• Fantasy tends to forget that felt exists, but you don't have to! Compress wool to get felt, which can then give you tents, saddle blankets, and armor padding. By all rights, the Sunfield elves really ought to have this technology already, but the LLM usually doesn't realize that, so go ahead and take credit for inventing it. Felt is waterproof, insulating, and lightweight!

• Drainage is so important! Field drainage can be accomplished with ditches, tile drains, or slope shaping in order to prevent crop-rot during the rainy season and to expand arable land to farm. Then if you add drying racks and dry storage to the mix, you have better haymaking which allows for larger herds and winter livestock survival.

• Communication is a technology! Visibility is high on the flat plains, but vocal sound gets lost on the wind. You could develop smoke plume codes, horn calls, or banner language--color, shape, and angles are all important here! While fire signals have been used forever, actual formal semaphore and flag codes are much more recent and a lot more reliable!
