Ordinor Ultor
You’ve ruled the Duchy of Akize, the southwesternmost duchy in the Kingdom of Ribaur, for 15 years, since the year 1107 ME.
15 years ago, your Liege had your parents executed for a plot they had no part in.
Despite becoming a ruler while only a teenager, your lands have done well - no thanks to your Liege’s proclamations. Despite the annoying interference, you would have been content to just administer your lands and pay your taxes.
But one day, your Liege goes too far, and wrongs one of your siblings - personally.
You’ve had enough. You and your siblings will chafe no longer under the yoke of that tyrant. You will be free from oppression - whatever it takes.
- Choose your character's name, the name of their noble house, and whether they are a Duke (male), Duchess (female), or Dux (enby).
- Choose which foreign land your mother hailed from - such as the northern court of Ostroway or the island nation of Sayland.
- Pick the type of education you received - were you taught how to use the shadows of Intrigue? How to construct Martial strategies? Or something else?
- Interact with your friends and family, possibly including your foreign cousins.
- Choose how to deal with your Liege - will they be put on Trial, will you lead an armed Rebellion, or will you take to the shadows to have them Assassinated?
- Pick from four gender-selectable ROs - two fellow vassals and two foreign nobles.
- Deal with various interest groups - such as the Peasants you rule over, your fellow Vassals, the religious head known as the Hierophant, and more.
Ordinor Ultor takes palce in a low(ish...) fantasy world, with the protagonist's home country of Ribaur being inspired by France, in the High Medieval Era.
Ordinor Ultor also has a Tumblr page!

good game but just to let you know it says modern era and that should be common era doesn’t impact the game just a little nitpick otherwise no mistakes found
While the worldbuilding is excellent, and the characters compelling, I can't help but be distracted by the constant question marks popping in for what I assume are unset values? Like e.g.: "?liege" popping up constantly during the Duke's POV in the prologue prior to my MC's POV. Or "?Lord", "?s4their", "?s5sibling" popping up in my MC's POV.
Yeah, back when I first did all that, I for some reason did not use a StoryInit passage so a whole bunch of function stuff was plopped onto the first page or so, which led to some odd results. But I now have that code where a sane person would put it, so there shouldn't be any glitches like that.
And thank you for the kind words :)
(don't ask why I took so long to respond, I was kinda scared to check this page ngl)
banger demo! i can't wait to see where you take this! <3<3
Thank you for the kind words! <3
While the story's interesting, it still has to many bugs.
Yeah, it took me around five iterations to wring out most of the bugs. Not great for a first showing...
