The Tragic Tale of Count Falsevor and Lady Geneiava!

Sergeant at Arms
My name is Paolo Bariccia, and I've got one heck of a story to tell you. And the best part? It's all true. And not just true like "bards said it, it must be true," but "some guy without an imagination said it" true.

It was not long after I was made a Count, or perhaps the correct term is Counted? Who knows these things! Anyway, soon after King Graveth gave me a title and some burned over hellhole of a village, Talabor confided in me that Falsevor really boiled his buns. He never told me why, exactly, he hated Falsevor so much, but his daughter Geneiava was pretty good looking and he was a fairly important lord with Uxhall to his name, so I figured I'd rather help him than some nobody like Falsevor. Plus, Talabor was willing to pay me to call Falsevor names and humiliate him in duels, and that's always a big bonus in my book.

I started to wonder what was up after the third or fourth duel, but the money was good and Talabor's support had helped me gain the title to Jamiche Castle, so I never pressed him on it.

I was starting to get pretty settled, and figured I'd like a wife or two, so I asked Talabor to hand over Geneiava as a reward for all my faithful years of service. He was fine with it, on the condition that I take the final step and denounce Falsevor to the King. But when I spoke to the young lady, it turned out she was already seeing someone.

Turns out there's at least one weapon Falsevor isn't hilariously incompetent with.

I'm off to brain the son of a ***** one last time before I get him exiled. Ciao!





(NB: Count Falsevor is actually level 41, and one of the four strongest of the Rhodok lords!)
 
LOL. That's hilarious.

And now for a factual explanation:

I received three "Insult and Duel Count Falsevor" quests from Count Talabor, whose daughter I mostly ignored until I received a quest to "Denounce Lord Falsevor". On a whim, I got permission to visit his daughter, who, when idly queried about our non-future, mentioned that she was seeing Falsevor. I have no idea if this is what caused the whole row between the two of them, but it sure seems plausible.

Anyway, I beat him up (again), and this time his ex told me that me beating his ass was actually kind of hot. And now I'm going to try and get him exiled. Talk about griefing!
 
Yeah, you really gotta love dueling the guys who are your competitors for, like, third string courtships.

Geneiava isn't even a legitimate prospect (waaaay beneath an upjumped commoner like myself!), it was just a funny way to add insult to injury for Falsevor.

But I do so love this sort of emergent storytelling. What M&B really needs is some method of better informing the player that this sort of stuff is going on. Because the lords definitely do get pissed at one another for seeing the wrong girl, or the father being pissed at some dude for seeing his daughter, or they gossip about one another. It happens, and it probably caused all my quests.

But if it weren't for my entirely random decision to sweet talk Talbar's daughter, I'd have never found out.
 
Haha, I actually ended up courting and marrying Lady Geneiava, which royally pissed of Lord Falsevor...boy does he keep a grudge.
 
I don't have any of our many duels, but I did indeed SS the quest log with both quests active, because it was so damn funny to me. The unit raising shenanigans are dudes from my mod, it's one of those "here's a hundred denars and seven free recruits, see you never again" quests.

I hate how when you join a faction the territory you first get is always the worst hellhole they've got.

Usually when I get the village its still in the process of being looted, and by the time I get there everythings just on fire.
 
The part about the hellhole... In some ways it's always my blessing in M&B.. Somehow it's always MY village the crapcakes want to take, so I can just hang around there and delude them of their awesomeness as their awesomeness fail in the face of my people and my sworn-to-arms.

But anyway.. Come on mate.. You're some guy who rode forth from some other lame kingdom in some far-fetched region of the world.. Who cares about your in Caldradia? Just face it mate, if they're high born lords like Flasevor, or low born like.. uh.. let me think... Well, I can't think of any low lords...

Never the less, you are lower then a Farmer no matter what you do in Calradia...
