You've been isekai'd into the body of Prince Gallas' new consort. He acquired you for the merchant guild contacts and analytical mind which you have entirely displaced with your soul. Good luck with your new marriage.

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 (my personal favorite) tell him that you offered your past to his gods in order to gain knowledge to enrich his people.

Other options? Try to pretend you are who everyone thinks you are! Run away from court and strike out into the larger world, if the LLM will allow it! Conquer these stuffy elves who think so little of you, why not? (Note: I have no idea if the LLM will support this.) Humans in this world don't have magic (unlike elves), but you're not of this world, are you? What if you develop cool magic powers to amaze your new husband and his people? The sky is your limit!

Author's Note: I cannot stop playing with Sepha's amazing bot, and I wanted to try a variant with four elven clans that have differing views of humanity and culture. For this one, I chose to differentiate the Moonspire Elves by being more about trade and merchant wars than actual bloody wars. Although you can certainly have a good old fashioned war with blades and bows if you want to! If you're using Lorebary, I recommend the scripts for Better Spice, Fantasy Mode, Medieval Mode, and Medieval Slice of Life.

• Lady Kythaela: Liaison with the human Merchant Guild and extremely influential.

Other Elfrûn Bots:

• Prince Amanth of the Sunfield Elves

• Prince Finthir of the Seawind Elves

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.

• Spyglasses were invented in the Netherlands in the early 1600s. They are created by affixing a convex lens which were technically a product of the 1300s, but the concept of bending light to magnify things is ancient thanks to water and crystals. You can say the alchemists have polished lenses as baubles to examine cracks and old texts! From there, it's just a matter of popping increasingly bigger lenses into cross sections of tubes and nesting the tubes like Russian dolls!

• Double-entry accounting evolved from 13th century bankers and wasn't codified until the late 1400s. The invention, while obvious to us, revolutionized trade: recording every financial transaction in at least two accounts (a debit from one account causing a credit to another) meant accountants could detect errors and fraud. (If 100 pounds of ore left the mines, then 100 pounds of ore should be received at delivery. If someone is skimming resources, then comparison of the two ledgers would immediately show the discrepancy!)

• Maps are ancient, but modern maps are not: maps showing trade routes and accurate navigational directions didn't emerge in Europe until the late 1200s. Before that, maps were stylized and symbolic, and sailors navigated by stars and directions ("three days good wind thataway"). The Moonspire elves have maps with trade routes, but even these are highly stylized rather than detailed.

• Lodestones, or naturally magnetized pieces of metal, are ancient and the humble compass was invented around the turn from BC to AD. However, no one thought to use them for navigation until 11th century China; from there, the idea spread to Europe in the 13th century. The Seawind elves navigate by stars and sun, but they do not have compasses to guide them through storms.

• Canaries as a sentinel species for foul-air in mines and bogs are now seen as timeless, but were not conceived until 1895! Miners swiftly learned to keep fragile songbirds as pets in cages, and to leave quickly when the creature stopped singing. Though we tend to assume that the birds died this isn't quite true: the miners would take the cage with them and try to revive the bird. Humans are loyal to pets who save their lives, and dead birds are a waste. Hey, look: a possible metaphor for your isekai relationship: a strong man who learns to treasure his fragile sentinel.
