#divinity: dragon commander

[faneposting-my-beloved]

I wanted to share again the fan re-relling and re-settling of Divinity's mythology that I had made for the sake of my fanfic. I am still so proud of it. It honors everything the games have set up to date and tries to weave all the themes into one coherent story.

Read Divinity: Draconic Chronicle here<<<

Tell me, Wanderers! What kind of commander are you? Do you stay behind and plan from afar? Or do you take to the skies and lead them as a Dragon?! Going live with Divinity: Dragon Commander!

I think the funniest thing about the Divinity series is that in the span of like 10000 years the elves go from being strictly vegan, or vegetarian at least, (Dragon Commander) to notoriously cannibalistic (Original Sin 2).

I’m slowly putting together my own personal picture of what is going on in the south in veilguard

More Princess Camilla from Dragon Commander. She has an actual job other than "princess" (compared to the other princesses in that game), being that of a judge. She even has her own statue, which is cool. This all suggests to me that the House of Law was the original House in charge and had the original royal family of lizards (the lizards in that game are way more progressive than in D:OS2 and even want a republic. At least for player's empire of Rivellon.). I've worked some of this into some of my headcanon for Divinity, including for Sadha.

After 3 attempts I've finally gotten into Divine Divinity. Never let a game being Old as Fuck deter you from playing it, this is a lot of fun

Taking the time to make my own post about it. If you are like me, both sad and hopeful about Larian's decision in regard to Baldur's Gate 3, then I'd like to inform you that they do have a backlog of pretty good games. If you want something with gameplay similarities to BG3, then the Divinity Original Sin series is for you. If you want something with a similar level level of roleplay complexity (although you can't really make a character) then I cannot recommend Divinity Dragon Commander enough. That game has a lot going for it and I feel too few people actually know about it.

Emperor and Empress of Rivellon everyone

[wylldebee]

It's my deepest wish every year that one day Larian will jump on the remake bandwagon and remake Dragon Commander, and they get to add everything they couldn't before do to budget issues.

Stumbled upon my Dragon Commander screenshots folder and started thinking about it and the fact that the main character is the Emperor by the end of the game.

And so he needs an heir.

And in my playthrough I romanced Ophelia (okay, technically I married Lohannah first and Ophelia was a second marriage).

So how does that work?

Also, I went for her Frankenstein ending and the implications kinda concern me.

EXCUSE ME larian launcher why do you NOT have beyond divinity on there (objectively the best game you've ever made)

Fantasy Royal Hierarchy & Government Explained for Dummies

👑 The Royal Hierarchy:

High King/High Queen: The ultimate ruler of all the lands. Addressed as “Your Majesty.” They oversee multiple kingdoms and have the final say in all matters.

King/Queen: The rulers of individual kingdoms. Addressed as “Your Majesty.” They manage their own territories, make laws, and lead their armies into epic battles.

Prince/Princess: The children of the king and queen. Addressed as “Your Highness.” They’re next in line for the throne and often have their own mini-kingdoms to practice ruling.

Duke/Duchess: High-ranking nobles who control large regions within the kingdom. Addressed as “Your Grace.” They’re like the regional managers, handling local governance and military affairs.

Marquess/Marchioness: Nobles who oversee border territories. Addressed as “Lord” or “Lady.” They’re responsible for defending the kingdom’s edges and often have a mix of military and administrative duties.

Earl/Countess: Nobles who manage smaller regions within the kingdom. Addressed as “Lord” or “Lady.” They’re like the middle managers, ensuring everything runs smoothly in their areas.

Viscount/Viscountess: Nobles who assist earls and countesses. Addressed as “Lord” or “Lady.” They’re like the assistant managers, helping with local governance and administration.

Baron/Baroness: The lowest rank of nobility. Addressed as “Lord” or “Lady.” They control small areas of land and are responsible for local justice and order.

Lord/Lady: A general title for nobility. Addressed as “Lord” or “Lady.” Lords and ladies can hold various ranks and responsibilities within the kingdom.

Government Structure:

🏛️ The Council: A group of high-ranking nobles and advisors who help the king or queen make important decisions. Think of them as the board of directors.

📜 The Chancellor: The head of the kingdom’s finances and administration. They manage the treasury, collect taxes, and oversee the kingdom’s bureaucracy.

🎭 The Bard: The kingdom’s storyteller and historian. They spread news, sing songs of heroism, and keep the royal family’s image sparkling.

Other Classes:

🌳 Elves: Graceful and wise, elves often serve as advisors, scholars, or elite warriors. They have a deep connection to nature and magic, making them invaluable in both court and battlefield.

🌾 Peasants: The backbone of the kingdom. They work the land, pay taxes, and sometimes get caught up in the schemes of the nobility. Despite their humble status, they can be heroes in their own right.

💀 Necromancers: Masters of death magic. They can raise the dead, drain life energy, and command undead minions. Often feared and misunderstood, they can be powerful allies or dangerous enemies.

📚 Scholars: Also known as sages, librarians, or loremasters. Scholars are the kingdom’s intellectuals, possessing encyclopedic knowledge. They study ancient texts, advise on matters of history and magic, and often uncover secrets that can turn the tide of events.

⚔️ Heroes: Brave individuals who embark on epic quests. They can come from any class—knights, peasants, elves, or even necromancers. Heroes are defined by their courage, skill, and willingness to face danger for the greater good.

🙏 Priests/Priestesses: Spiritual leaders who serve the gods and goddesses of the realm. They perform rituals, offer guidance, and sometimes wield divine magic. Addressed as “Father,” “Mother,” or “Your Holiness”.

🏡 Manor: The residence of a noble, usually a lord or lady. It’s less fortified than a castle and focuses more on comfort and domestic life.

Pro Tips:

Royal Drama: Expect lots of intrigue, secret plots, and power struggles. It’s like a medieval reality show.

Magic: Always a wildcard. It can solve problems or create new ones.

Quests: Royals love sending heroes on epic quests. It’s their way of handling problems without getting their hands dirty.
