#~The Scholarly Archer; Self

[crepesuzette2023]

hello, I was wondering if you have any fics you like where Paul is the one pining?

Thank you so much for this question, and sorry to have taken so long to reply. I hope you still find these useful!

The lovely thing about J/P fic is that both John and Paul excel at pining. Scholarly tomes should be filled with arguments about who does it better. (Is Mutual Pining really the ultimate, or can something be said about the solo work of either man surpassing their 'collaboration'?)

As per your ask, it's Paul turn in these recs. I've decided to include fics in which they are in a relationship, of sorts, but where there's an element of Paul feeling that John is out of reach, or that Paul doesn't have enough of John — there's a distance to be bridged (but how?).

Early Days: Before the Fete

I've Just Seen a Face (sleepprettydarling): Five times Paul sees John before the Woolton Fete, one time he doesn't. G-rated, but the longing is *everywhere*.

Early Days

Two of us (burning matches) (@scurator). John corrupts/awakens Paul.

Above us only sky (candle_beck). "Paul is tired of being so good."

The first year (candle_beck). "They didn't get along, Stuart and Paul."

Lifting Latches/Sending Postcards (thinkpink20). Swapping clothes and becoming lovers...slowly. You can feel Paul's heartbeat when you read this.

On Menlove Avenue (thinkpink20). One of my favorite summaries ever: "It's a dark, dark night in Woolton."

Hamburg Era (roughly)

Mistletoe (thinkpink20). Paul observes John at Christmas, and finally takes action.

Like Love, the Archers are Blind (@dailyhowl). "He can’t ever be truly mad at him. Because his frustration melts like sugar on his tongue when he thinks about them sat across from each with their guitars and a notebook between them. Thinks about riding on the bus together with greasy packets of chips, stalking through record stores and strolling by the docks. How familiar and comfortable it feels to be together. What they have is too golden, too warm to ever stray from. And now he’s drowning in it." Come onnnn

Sinful (thinkpink20). "He tells himself it's just the grime around him, dirtying up his mind."

Beginning Fame

the touch of the velvet hand (downtothelastdrop). “Well then,” Paul countered, “you’ve not felt what I can do.”

I'm Telling You (aceonthebass). Paul pitches a 'soft' love song to John.

wouldn't it be nice? (@pauls1967moustache). John marries Cyn. What about John&Paul?

Geodesic Dome Era

open heart (@revollver). Vampire AU. Paul needs John—in more than one way.

Way up Top (@boshemians). The Beatles in Greece. "Underwater Paul snakes his arm around John’s wrist and presses their chests together, struggling for something."

1968

Days Like This (@eveepe). "His mouth was strangely dry, and he could feel his heartbeat pulsing in the scar on his lip."

Bad luck to talk (7intheevening). Paul is yearning for what he and John used to have—without being quite aware of his feelings. (Subconscious pining?)

Lost (@ohjohnnysblog). Paul needs a reminder of his and John's happier past. He goes to see Astrid...

Wings Era

Red Lights, Green Lights, Strawberry Wine (@savageandwise). Paul is with Linda and Denny, but waiting for John to call him back again...(Linda POV).

Later Days

Nude (@ohjohnnysblog). Paul buys nude pictures in a gallery and thinks of John.

Modern Love (caesdoublesteps). For a lighter touch: Paul negotiates with Yoko to give him Self Portrait, the movie about John's semi-erection. Yoko has a counter-offer.

AU

Sleeping Sand, Morning Moon (@dailyhowl). Playwright Paul grieves a dear friend and the end of a relationship. He escapes to a Scottish village and falls in love with resident eccentric John—but his heart is not ready. (It will be.)

࣪𓏲ּ  ֶָ  𝑤𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑠𝒕𝒗  ⁝         olivia cooke,  35,  cis woman,  she/her.    announcing  the  arrival  of  GYSELLA  of  house  LANNISTER NEE HARLAW,  the  LADY of  CASTERLY ROCK.  whispers  among  the  court  name  them  to  be  both  SCHOLARLY  and  MELANCHOLIC  in  disposition,  and  those  closest  to  them  speak  to  their  interests  in  cartography.  if  we  bards  could  compose  a  song  for  them,  it  might  tell  stories  of a closed mouth smile that hides sharpened canines, you could even mistake it for friendly; better a hand known than the unknown of the deck, every card that is played must be in your favour; waves crashing upon rocks over and over and over until the salt water breaks down the stone, relentless, they call her. you were chained to these rocks once, but no longer, andromeda free of her captor; auburn curls weighed down by water until straight.  the  seven  whisper  to  their  most  devout  queen  as  she  sleeps,  making  her  question  where  their  loyalties  truly  lie.  are  they  right  to  whisper?  for  their  loyalties  truly  lie  with  HERSELF/HOUSE HARLAW

tldr:

A girl made of saltwater and seaweed instead of blood and bone, raised on the expectation on marrying the heir of Pyke, when this does not happen, no small amount of blame is placed on her shoulders. What had she done, to not entice him, to let this opportunity slip from her fingers, to embarrass her family so. These words were taken to her cold heart, and Gysella knew then she needed to find a match just as good, to ease the sting. Now married to the ruling lord of Casterly Rock, she covers herself in fine cloths and jewels, and forsakes the sea as though it were a lover who betrayed her. She had been an offering, a way in which to consolidate the Iron Islands, a sacrifice, now she works purely for the benefit of herself, for she knows now that she cannot rely on anyone else to look out for her.

basics:

name: gysella lannister nee harlaw age: 35 allegiance: herself, and anything that will benefit her gender + pronouns: cis female, she/her sexuality: pansexual (sexually attracted to people she can use)

faceclaim: olivia cooke height: 5 foot 5 eyes: brown, and cold as the ocean hair: auburn, though looks closer to brown when wet

positives: resourceful, patient, self-reliant (almost to a fault), driven

negatives: manipulative, selfish, exploitative, spiteful

tropes: TBA

songs: i bet on losing dogs - mitski, the archer - taylor swift, happiness is a butterfly - lana del rey, the hearse - matt maeson

permanent plotter call. 

helllo gamers. fancy seeing you here... on this dash where we are all members of the same group—— anyway i’m a thief and i’m copying the latest trend but you know what ?? i have that right. i am the rules. insert other questionable and weird shit gilgamesh says. so yes, if it wasn’t clear, this is going to be a PLOTTER CALL for gilgamesh ! 

as this might get a little lengthy, i’ll be putting the basic relationship ideas i have under a read more. that said, if you like this post / reply with the number you think could work for gil & your muse, i’ll be able to message you with some idea of what you’re interested in ! it’ll also mean you’re open to me sending you memes, you sending me memes, the usual meme shenanigans.

01. aquaintances : started from the bottom and you’re still at the bottom. aka, this is how he would interact with most people. gilgamesh considers himself an adjudicator of humanity and does not like to get overly attached to individuals on that basis. he is an observer, detached from mankind as a being who is divine in origin. as such, he does not establish much of an emotional connection with most of the people he meets. he is still amicable to the prospect of offering guidance or assistance where he thinks it necessary ( and trust me when i say it takes a lot for him to involve himself personally ), so that isn’t to say it is impossible to start Something with him. but it takes quite a bit to move past this stage unless you really pique his interest, so to say. you’re all his subjects, basically, because he’s the eternally reigning king. 

02. friends : can we really say the king has any true friends ? maybe one. but even then, he was summoned in sort of an awkward stage of his life where he isn’t as comfortable approaching them as he might have been in another class. so, he isn’t the friendliest person in the world, if you haven’t already figured that out. certainly not as difficult to interact with as his archer self would be, but at the same time, he is still gilgamesh. at his core, he will always be egotistical and self-assured in his adulthood. that doesn’t mean people aren’t capable of earning his acknowledgement and later, his friendship. he may just never phrase it as such. he’d be more likely to say that you’ve ‘earned the king’s favor’ or something stupid like that. caster is kind of a pain, but he is loyal to a fault to those he cares for ( despite his less than desirable way of communicating it ). a small positive ? 

03. fellow rulers / divine beings / non-humans : i just think it might be neat for him to get to know any fellow royals or demi-gods / gods / whatever else is out there. i mean, like i said before, gilgamesh still considers himself the one true king. so long as mankind continues to exist, they will always be his subjects. but he is also at a stage of his life where he is appreciative of the insights of other rulers. he does not scorn them, nor would he dismiss their status as a ruler. even if he once held clairvoyance and knew all there was to know, he likes to hear the experiences of people from word of mouth too. any individual with divine blood or who was generally inhuman might also interest him depending on their character, as they fall outside of his self-imposed jurisdiction of ruling over ‘humanity’. he has no authority over those who are not ‘human’. oh yeah, but if you’re a god, he would instinctively dislike you - or at the very least be somewhat spiteful. generally speaking, the only god he actually likes is his mother. the rest are either hated, disrespected or just plain ignored ( but he is willing to cooperate out of necessity ). 

04. study buddies : are you a scholar ? a learned individual? do you have a talent or knowledge that would be otherwise useful in nation-building or otherwise ? then gilgamesh would be more open to speaking with you ! he is known to overwork himself on anything and everything. he drafted architectural ideas for uruk, played a key part in developing them, led armies and his people for years and built up a very successful kingdom to the point of being called the ‘sage king’. but as he needed the cooperation of the masses to accomplish this successfully, he has a genuine appreciation for those who have a talent and use it. use being the keyword here. he would honestly be very happy throwing ideas off of someone, no matter the topic, and hearing their own in return. he has familiarised himself with most every topic, scholarly or otherwise, so it doesn’t matter what field it is. 

05. romance : listen. look at me. he’s married to uruk and to paperwork. he’s a single dad to many kids he willingly adopted. chances are romance is the last thing on his mind. i am being very honest here but it’s just... it would take a lot of chemistry to make him think about anything other than working himself half to death. i won’t say its impossible. but it isn’t the most likely thing to occur. of course, people can have crushes on him if they so wish. i hate admitting it, but he’s pretty. i understand. and again, i’m not saying shipping isn’t going to happen. but i just. gilgamesh. 

06. dad noises : okay so listen. gil is not the best guy for interacting with. like, at all. but he does have dad inclinations. i have no other way to explain that beyond ‘dad inclinations’. welcome to my twisted mind. anyway, you don’t have to be a literal child for him to want to offer guidance and assistance where he can. he is just extremely soft on kids - to young children or young adults. his master is one example, as is mashu. his attitude ( or at the very least, his way of speaking ) typically remains the same, but he is nowhere near as harsh with them. instead, he’s much more willing to speak with kids and help them out. sometimes you just be living life and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, you’re adopted by the king of heroes. 

07. dad noises 2.0 electric boogaloo : please do not question the name of this section either it is the thrilling sequel related to the above and i did not know what else to call it. i just ( points at ritsuka fujimaru ) if you have any association with his master, gilgamesh will make a point of knowing who you are and how you’re related to her. be it as a servant of hers or just someone she’s friends with, it’s an excuse that stands to reason why he’d be interacting with them. he might pretend that he isn’t protective, or that he doesn’t care much for her, but we all know that is a big fat lie ! their relationship is this vine and i will never change my stance on it. thank you.

and that’s all i can think of right now ! of course, if you had any of your own ideas that don’t fit in these, then i welcome them. honestly, these are just. kind of a mess. i don’t blame you. like i said before, if you like this post ( regardless of whether you mention a specific number ), i’ll message you at some point to butt heads and see what we can come up with ! thank you for reading !

Deathday Prompts: Rem

Week 1 Prompt: Introductions! Who is your character? What have they been up to for the last six months? What are they currently working towards? Are they looking for friends, business contacts, enemies, to get by without drawing attention?

Remington (or just Rem or Remy) is the head of the Fence Macabre mercantile group, Argent Crusade veteran, ex-Badlands bounty hunter, deputy of Fuselight, exterminator of scarlet crusaders, and renowned gunslinger. The old forsaken's memories are starting to peter out as a result of encroaching mindlessness, but Loira seems driven to find a solution. And if that don't work, she's been learning a bit of Shadow magic on the side through one of her employees, a Forsaken tidesage by the name of Leontine. She's old for a forsaken. Been there since the taking of Undercity thirteen years ago as one of the First Generation. 

Rem has seen a lot of action in both of her lifetimes, from bounty hunting to even in the Argent Crusade: Serving as a scout-sniper as part of the Snow Ghosts, a primarily-Forsaken platoon of rogues and hunters specializing in winter reconnaissance and assassination. Without the need to eat and being unaffected by temperature, the Snow Ghosts were lauded for their unique skill to blend in among the Scourge and spend extended amounts of time behind enemy lines without support.

She often buried herself in the snow for up to a week. Sometimes, she even packed it into her mouth to prevent herself from subconsciously exhaling frost and giving away her position.

During the War Against the Lich King, Remington racked up a total of one-hundred and seventy-six confirmed sniper kills on the Scourge. Fifty-six of those kills were on Scourge leadership such as death knights and necromancers. She attained most of her kills using her rifle’s iron sights since light would shine against a scope’s glass, revealing her position.

After the recession following the Northrend Campaign and the subsequent Cataclysm, Remington established the Fence Macabre as a means of securing work. The Fence Macabre’s founding members survived by performing unappealing work such as: mercenary contracts, odd jobs, manual labor, and bounty hunting. Despite their appearance and undeath, the group gained a reputation for reliability, honesty, and kind demeanor, later blossoming into the widely-connected mercantile group it is today.

In life, Remington was the heir of the Thornbolt lineage, a long-line of hunters and game wardens. Over the years, the Thornbolts gradually phased out of nobility, instead becoming just humble hunters content on living off of the land. Even from a young age, her skill in shooting was renowned, often winning against bonafide Stormwind archers and snipers in shooting competitions. Eventually, she was renowned in Elwynn Forest for her infamous trick shots, such as ricocheting bullets off of mid-air coins to strike bottles, fanning the hammer and hitting the same target bullet on top of bullet, and shooting behind herself using a mirror or even just relying on shadows.

Week 2 Prompt: How much importance does your character place on birthdays? How do they like to celebrate? Which was their most important? If dead, do they celebrate the day they were raised instead?

Rem still celebrates her birthday. She wholeheartedly disagrees with the view that Forsaken should forget their past lives. Shutting out your past and refusing to come to terms with what you are versus what you were is unhealthy and bottles up emotions. Her birthday marks the start of the week of the year she's able to forget any worries or troubles that comes with running a company. 

The caravan master goes dark, taking time off to, strangely, be alone on. She departs for a big hunt or simply talks a very long walk through nature. There's something spiritual about losing one's self and melding in with the denizens of the wilderness. The wilds never were scary for the rural-raised human. Her favorite of these outings is walking the entire length of Northrend (Icecrown not included), starting from Borean Tundra and ending on the coast of the Howling Fjord.

 In life, birthdays were never on the level of noble soirees or anything, but they were always heartfelt. Rem's parents left in the early morning even before she woke up to venture into Goldshire to pick up a custom-order chocolate cake, relatively expensive since cacao beans aren't grown in Elwynn Forest. They'd come back and surprise Rem with sweets in bed. These days were the only times the family splurged on sugar. From there, Rem's parents often took her to the nearby apple orchards and cornfields to pick fruit for tomorrow's breakfast and play hide and seek. The day finally ended with a barbecue involving the entire extended family (~30 people) singing songs, playing the fiddle, dancing, shooting bottles, arm wrestling, and overall just having a rowdy old time through the night. 

Everyone would be shit-faced with a hangover the next morning. Getting absolutely trashed on Rem's birthday became a family tradition, and Rem herself joined in the moment she was old enough to chug moonshine. Not everyone survived after the Fall of Stormwind. Parties became tame and more solemn after immigrating to Lordaeron. As her parents grew older and unable to party as rowdy as they did in Rem's childhood, Rem often celebrated her birthdays by traveling with them, visiting Stratholme and Capital City to see the entirety of Lordaeron.

Week 3 Prompt: Welcome to Fence University! This is an AU that we spend time throwing ideas around for sometimes, even though we don’t write in it. Where does your character fit in? Are they a Professor, student? Do they work on campus? What do they study, how did the get to be there? Where can they usually be found and what do they generally think of those they share campus with?

Remington Thornbolt is... a highschool dropout that failed to obtain her diploma after being expelled for fighting. Scholarly subjects don't come easily to her at all, and she struggled to get her GED two years after she should've graduated. After fumbling around in academic limbo and coming dangerously close to joining the Hounds of Sylvanas MC, Remington decided to turn over a new leaf.

Intending to take up the family farming business, Remington has put her nose to the grindstone in pursuit of a degree in Agriculture and a minor in Environmental Science. Her old, delinquent ways occasionally show themselves. But for the most part, Remington keeps a tight leash on them. She's halfway through her bachelor's, and she's only seen during night classes. But she's the first one in, and the last one out.

Week 4 Prompt: Come One, Come All! The Darkmoon Faire is in town, what is your character’s favourite ride/game? Outside of these, what do they enjoy most about the experience? Are they ever concerned about where exactly, the Faire is?

Rem just grins whenever the Shooting Arcade is up, and the gunslinger is infamous to the booth's manager, Rinling. No matter how many targets or how they dart around, Rem always clears out all of them. For her, they may as well be free wins. Regardless of Rem clearing everything out whenever she arrives, she and Rinling always have a pleasant chat about bullet ballistics and the new shiny firearms recently released by the various Azerothian gunsmithing companies.

Other than the Shooting Arcade, Rem always goes for a round or two racing. It's one of the only times she's able to go neck and neck with other riders without being shot at. Rockets are dangerous. The rural-raised caravan master doesn't understand flying rockets, and Rem would faint at the thought of piloting a shredder. She prefers saddling up on a racing strider as it's the only thing that responds to a bridle. After a couple years of this, Rem has become surprisingly skilled in riding on other giant biped creatures like hawkstriders, raptors, and even bloodbeasts!

[segalia]

So, Seg, tell me about your OCs?

Hm, where to begin…first, thank you for your interest!I have a couple stories ongoing, but the one I write the most on is the one I actually publish online (amazing what that does for motivation). That would be Journey of Warriors, my Redwall fanfic which has been my sandbox for the last six years and really allowed me to explore different things and grow as a writer (should be a link in my tumblr if anyone’s interested). 

One reason it’s taken so long is I’m bad at planning stories out and this story is a convoluted mess with a main friend group of 8 characters, kinda 4 main villains, then two+ main characters for one plot, with additional 4+ supporting characters in other plots. It’s a mess. 

Anyway, some of the main OCs from JoW are 

*Segalia, an otter who starts off as an archer and is prone to Bloodwrath. She’s (obvi) in many ways based off of me: has a bit of a temper, is a feminist, doesn’t take things too seriously/lots of teasing, enjoys reading, etc

Her best friends are 

*Ampanna, a more gentle, sweet squirrel who has pretty tough core and a new boyfriend (which has been an interesting relationship to explore)

*Lijel, an otter who loves to drive Segalia nuts and is a little full of himself, but has a fun journey of maturation over the series (crazy to watch how the characters have grown and evolved not only as they’ve faced different challenges [holy cow]or as I’ve grown as a write but also as I’ve matured myself and in my own relationships)

*Riplar and Selra are fox twins who have an interesting journey between evil and good. Riplar is more political whereas Selra is snappy. They bicker a lot but are fiercely loyal to each other. 

And more but who has time for that?

Other OC highlights from various projects:

*R & B (I’m not putting their full names because I’ve actually self-publish a book on them and that’s too much personal info for a public post). She (R) is a warrior, who’s a bit hot-headed and haughty. He (B) is a pacifist who’s more scholarly and stubborn. Fairly opposite worldviews and personalities but forced to work together on a mission.

*6S and 6R. TCK PoC secret agents. Both pretty chill and laidback with lots of teasing banter. 

*Nadila. An ex warrior now serving as a community development agent for the governing force which won the war several years past. Trying to keep the peace and genuinely meet the needs of the various peoples in the region while fighting a growing terrorist threat. Definitely an introvert, but can fight via words, swords, or magic items if necessary.

As you can see, I tend towards fantasy adventure in my writing, I like fierce girls, and I’m a fan of banter in relationships. Thanks for your interest! Feel free to ask any more questions about these.

Some of my most recent LinkedIn recommendations. LaToro Yates, Ph.D. Executive Director of Admission for Enrollment Management at The City University of New York September 21, 2017, LaToro was a client of Therone’s . . It is a pleasure to write a recommendation from Therone Shellman. I met him selling his self-published books on Sutphin Blvd and Archer in Jamaica, New York. I purchased two books and read them on my train rides on the LIRR over the next few weeks. The books captured my senses and understanding of street culture and did not offend my scholarly research acumen. I saw him a few weeks later and we discussed his books, street life, and our careers. I can attest to his hustle, zeal for truth and honesty in his work(s), and willingness to move across the country for an opportunity to build and extend his reach and brand. Therone is a serious brother that knows how to hustle (i.e., street AND corporate). I look forward to seeing his words being acted out on the major screen. SALUTE! . . Juanita Graves Poet, Published Author, Writer and Entrepreneur . September 20, 2017, Juanita was a client of Therone’s . . Therone Shellman is an inspiring and intellectual man. I have purchased two of his books, Third Eye Awakening 1, and 2. He is an awesome writer, and I enjoy enlightening my mindset and areas of my life with the knowledge he shares. I am a true fan. Third Eye Awakening has helped not to think about the pink elephant in the room because we are our worse enemy, plus your mind will definitely take you places but need to ensure strength and release the chains that bind you from yourself, and success. Realizing fear is not a god-like spirit. I too have learned to excel in my life and reading information to assist in that area, I find that with this authors knowledge. . . .

"No one is giving you trouble, are they Vi?"

“Aside from the drunkard that left their toddler in the library overnight, not really. There is one person that’s shown up but I’m sure they won’t be much of a nuisance.”He smiled a bit.

[tell-me-a-tale]

Working Title Character List

Playable Characters: First Generation

Kallen- The protagonist. The son of a local lord, starts out a bit rash/carefree/irresponsible, but matures and grows as a character throughout the story.

(Friend)- Best friend of Kallen, and the only other survivor of (Doomed Hometown). The son of one of Kallen’s father’s knights, and a knight in training himself.

(Mysterious Person)- The only person found alive in (Doomed Hometown), but never actually lived there. Remembers dying in the (Jinkuro’s clan) massacre, and has no idea how they are alive again. Is just as eager to figure out the mystery as Kallen and (Friend). The strategic advisor of the group.

(Noble Scion)- more than slightly arrogant and well aware of his own title. His stepmother tried to poison him as a child, leading to his trust issues, particularly toward women. Is an asshole more often than not, because it keeps people at an arms length, but actually respects people who call him on it and fight back. Swordsman.  “Antidote”/“Immunity”, neutralizes toxic abilities such as ‘Poison Strike’ and ‘Grisly Wound’

(Dancer)- Possibly some kind of pacifist healer/dancer combination? Not nessessarily an actual dancer either, perhaps a ‘Brewmaster’? Special skills include creating health recovery items, healing, and ‘invigorating draught’ (allows character to move again) “These hands…were not meant for violence.  This body was not given to me so that I could rob others of the bodies given to them.  Strength is given to us so that we might use it to *create*, not destroy.”   -Dancer/ “Brewmaster”

Caedrin- Captain of the Royal Guard and Allis’s uncle. A stern man with unwavering loyalty to the crown. Formerly the leader of an infamous band of highwaymen, but due to an unknown incident put that life behind him. Guardian of his niece, Allis. Played a major role in the massacre of (Jinkuro’s clan), but did so to earn a royal pardon so he could give his orphaned niece a better life. Regrets his actions and knows they were wrong, but wouldn’t change his choice even if he had the ability to. Is willing to give up his life to pay for his past misdeeds, as long as his innocent niece is spared. Great Knight. Something to do with his past as a bandit leader

Cerys- a scholarly mage who works in the royal library. Curious about everything and the lore expert of the group, she also doesn’t seem to have any sense of danger or self-preservation instinct when her curiousity is piqued. Didn’t get out of the library much before joining up with Kallen. Elemental Mage.  “Speed Reader”, ups effective speed when using tomes

Vikarya- Jinkuro serves her as an advisor. Wants to conquer Kallen’s kingdom. Winds up being captured before eventually joining Kallen’s group after the death of (King). Coulevrinier.

Allis - Youngish girl kidnapped by the villain at some point. Isn’t too young (ie, old enough to be on the battlefield), but young enough Jinkuro sees her as a ‘child’. Actually Caedrin’s niece who he took in after his brother and sister-in-law’s deaths.

Siara- a mysterious woman encountered by Kallen’s group at various points in the story, but doesn’t reveal her true identity and purpose until lategame. Is actually the royal spymaster for (King)’s country, working to find out the truth behind the massacre of (Jinkuro’s clan). Eventually finds out (King) was the one behind it, and smuggles Jinkuro into the castle out of ‘duty’ to her ‘code’. Becomes playable after Caedrin’s death. Spymaster

Manon- A Lancer working as a member of the royal army. She comes off as mysterious and serious at first, but is actually quite eccentric and tries to deliberately cultivate a ‘Dark and Mysterious’ persona. Lancer

(Tomboy)- Cassia’s hired muscle/bodyguard, a former prize fighter. Fighter

5.0 out of 5 stars So, you wanna be a Byzantine General?

4.0 out of 5 stars What a weird little gem of a book Some ancient commander from 600AD sitting down and giving you the nuts and bolts of running an Imperial army confronted by barbarians on every front. It's so prosaic and common sensical - put your biggest best-equipped guys up front to intimidate your enemies, make sure the horses drink downstream so they don't muddy the drinking water, make sure your units are different sizes so the bad guys can't just count standards and know how many men you have. A real blast from the distant past. It's organized into small bite-sized sections and a quick read. Go to Amazon

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding resource on Late Roman/Byzantine strategy This is a beautifully produced translation of the Strategikon, a military manual attributed to the eastern Roman emperor Maurice and thought to have been written sometime between A.D. 580 and 600. Packed full of the accumulated wisdom of a thousand years of Hellenistic and Roman experience in warfare, the Strategikon was meant to be a primer for the novice general--roughly the Western equivalent to Sun Tzu's "Art of War."Simply put, the Strategicon is a gold mine of historical data on the Roman army of the late 6th century. It is of particular interest because this period marks a time when Roman power had made its last vain attempt to regain authority over the Western provinces of the Empire, and was now undergoing a period of contraction and collapse. The Strategikon describes an army whose core is no longer the heavy infantry of the early Roman Principate, but armored cavalry lancers and archers. It is a time when Greek was fast becoming the predominant language in Roman society as a whole, while vestiges of Latin remained in the jargon of the army. The legion of old was replaced by the meros, the centurion by the hekatontarch.The Strategikon records many aspects of the Roman army life at this time, including: induction of new recruits, description of ranks and responsibilities, formation of units, drills, rules, punishments, instructions on marching through enemy territory, foraging for food, and the set-up of fortified camps. It is rich in advice for the prospective general when battling against the various enemies of the Empire, from the Persians, to the Slavs, to the Avars and Goths. Perhaps most interesting of all, it contains several detailed diagrams for the order of battle of a Late Roman/Early Byzantine army of various sizes and configurations.Read more › Go to Amazon

4.0 out of 5 stars but this historical "standard operating procedure" for the Byzantine Army provides a great example of an early modern way of war Lesser known publication, but this historical "standard operating procedure" for the Byzantine Army provides a great example of an early modern way of war, which provides great insight regarding the deeper planning and mature thought that goes into waging and conducting war. Go to Amazon

5.0 out of 5 stars Military History Geeks Could Not Ask For More. Wow, Emperor Maurice's Strategikon, finely translated, and easily accessible. I imagine that a thousand or so years ago, men would have killed to get this kind of an insight on the strategy and tactics of the Byzantine military. Today we read it for pleasure, amusement, or scholarly work. Nevertheless the Stratigikon is a practical military field manual that was clearly meant to be used by Byzantine commanders. This is not some flowery, self-serving, ego-driven, propaganda piece of classical writing. This is a no-nonsense, realistic, practical approach to warfare, whose basic tenets are likely still applicable today. Able to draw on thousands of years of experience of combat from the Greeks and Romans, the Byzantines had warfare down to a science. Almost every conceivable detail is well thought out logically and every contingent planned for. The Byzantine approach to battle formations is particularly impressive and students of warfare can see a clear evolution of the original Roman heavy infantry tactics to the more complex combined arms strategy of the Byzantines. It's doubtful that actual battles ever went as smoothly as planned, but nevertheless the Byzantines were ready for any and all types of war and were fully prepared to face the numerical superiority that their opponents often enjoyed with a well drilled, well disciplined fighting unit. Students of Byzantine history are well aware that the Byzantine state waged constant warfare on multiple fronts since its inception, so it is little wonder that they were so good at it. Too my knowledge, nothing written in the West on our near this time period even comes close to this level of sophistication. Maurice's Strategikon is an absolute gold mine of information and a must have for anyone interested in East Roman or military history in general. Go to Amazon
