Rites

Evil Emblem

This is a report about you: you and the Sultan's Game, and those cards, have now become legends among the people. Many soldiers, especially the younger ones, have started carving designs they've heard about from the Sultan Cards onto their shields or armor.



Most of these are Carnality Cards, often featuring your face alongside other indecent symbols or organs. On a small scale, this might seem like a harmless prank; but on a larger scale, it raises a significant issue, as only the portraits of successive Sultans are deemed worthy of being engraved on officers' weapons.

Outcome

Prior

You decide to encourage this behavior.
You designed a batch of new medals that can be pinned onto shields or armor, fully modeled after the design of the Sultan Cards. Bloodshed corresponds to the merit of beheading, Conquest symbolizes the glory of leading the charge, Extravagance can be exchanged for gold, and Carnality signifies the tacit approval of free plundering. It's the Sultan's money, but all the soldiers are talking about your name.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

I'm afraid the Sultan will misunderstand.
You quickly ordered a strict investigation into this troublemaking behavior. The Sultan's game is no joke… at least, not for you.

Conditions:

Action:

Regular

The Vizier fears the Sultan will misunderstand.
The Vizier knows that what the Sultan hates most is others stealing the limelight. He doesn't care about your life or death but fears the Sultan's uncontrollable wrath. In any case, you both agree on one thing: fearing the Sultan.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

Even the Vizier can be fooled.
You told him that the Sultan will absolutely love all the creative ideas in this game... So you designed a batch of new medals that can be pinned onto shields or armor, fully modeled after the design of the Sultan Cards. Bloodshed corresponds to the merit of beheading, Conquest symbolizes the glory of leading the charge, Extravagance can be exchanged for gold, and Carnality signifies the tacit approval of free plundering... By the time all the soldiers are talking about your name, it is already too late for the Vizier to regret it.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

The Vizier is stubborn.
You speak for a long time, but eventually, the Vizier just sips his tea lightly and make arrangements according to his own wishes. It’s truly incomprehensible why this old crone invites you to help with paperwork, as you two hardly reach any agreements, he seems entirely to enjoy these disputes – and the mastery within the disputes.

Action:

Extra

Die! You mangy old dog!
In the astonished gaze of the Vizier, you see relief, is this the truth behind inviting you to work together? He knows that one day, you will draw a golden Bloodshed Card, and you will use it on the most detestable elder...

Now, he lies peacefully in a pool of blood, leaving all the remnants of this empire, mainly pressure and excrement, to you.

The Sultan, upon hearing the news, chucks lightly – not with carnality's abandon, but with a rare surprise of being freed from trouble.

After this, all governmental documents are handed over to you for review, with no one left to oppose you... he arranges it meaningfully.
