Apparently fifteen years later they were forced out of Western Europe by a coalition organized by an ally of hers - Lucian of Aragon.

[Oh, good. He did it.] 

Permalink

[Good for him.]

Permalink

[I joined the tournament to try to get the power to make them leave. It did not go very well and even though I won I had to use the power to fix the damage. I brought him back too and it sounds like he made the best of it.]

Permalink

Does he have his own page?

Permalink

Yes but it's a short one. He interceded on the behalf of his much more famous ally Lianelle when she got in trouble with authorities and built a bunch of roads. He had the Seven Day Plague but recovered just like everybody else and went on to play a part in the resistance to the Magyar.

What does Wikipedia have on the Seven Day Plague.

Permalink

Tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands its unclear from the historical record, got sick as a plague spread rapidly, leaving people "as still as death" and then passed at the end of a seven day period. It created chaos but didn't kill people as far as historians can tell.

[... Yeah it killed all those people. A Magyar champion made a normal plague spread much faster when they had trouble beating me in a direct fight and I used the Spring to undo it.]

Permalink

[Fucking hell.]

Permalink

[Yeah. I'm glad Lucian managed to pick up the pieces - I burned myself out pretty quick using the Spring beyond fixing the plague.]

Permalink

[Who was your champion?]

Permalink

[The Sword of Netra - it didn't talk very much but we worked well together.]

Permalink

[Champions can be swords? I guess there are legendary swords but I hadn't heard of that one, this world's history appears different in a lot of places.]

Permalink

[I'm not sure how famous it is - I hadn't heard of it either. Champions can be anything people tell stories about I think.]

Permalink

[...like, anything, like, mythical islands? Gods?]

Permalink

[I've heard of gods as champions but not mythical islands - though I've seen those in the spirit plane.]

Permalink

[Are champions all of about the same, like, power level...? What's the spirit plane like?]

Permalink

[Similar power levels, I think. The spirit plane is... very pretty and there's lots of stuff but things don't always work in very sensical ways and it's impossible for spirits to change much of anything at all. I spent a lot of time being very bored in one place because I couldn't figure out how to get anywhere else, and then one day another place would show up near mine and maybe if I was lucky I wouldn't just pop back if I tried to go it.]

Permalink

[You can't even change things on the level of moving yourself around?]

Permalink

[Yeah but there's a bunch of floating islands and I couldn't leave the one I was on at any given time.]

Permalink

[What would happen if you just jumped off?]

Permalink

[I would fall for a very long time and eventually land somewhere else and not try that again.]

Permalink

[How long is a very long time?]

Permalink

[I don't know - time was weird there, and it was hard to keep track of on my own. Felt like years.]

Permalink

[I guess an island would have to be pretty catastrophically boring to be worse than falling for years.]

Permalink

[I was trying to jump onto another island and missed. I think falling took longer than waiting would have - though waiting might have also taken years.]
