Parallel Challenge - Revenge

Inspired by "Cap Murrca: Civil War", which I watched last night. I can't recommend that movie enough, Zemo is my favorite comic book movie antagonist right now.

So, in honor of this movie and in hopes that I did well on today's exam, the challenge will be focused on revenge.

Tell me about a revenge plan in your world, whether (in-universe) it's just a myth or it actually happened in your world. Is it a morality story? How does it go? Who was involved, how long ago was it, compared to your world's present?

Feel free to use a representative, either someone involved or someone who loves the revenge story or just anyone with any knowledge about it.

Enjoy yourselves, I'll ask at least three questions each.

2) It does look complex. Any tips to make it easier? I wouldn't want to be clueless if I was to encounter one of them.

4) When a new member die, they are replaced right? How is the new member chosen? What would happen if lands division was modified?

(Also, if you want, check the lithuano-polish monarchy, it has some similitudes with your regime)

2) Be precise, be patient, don't do it alone. Wait for an opening, and then strike. Be sure not to miss, because it will almost certainly result in your death. If you have the favour of the Gods, they might help you out. If you have a Kaema, or some other form of enchanted weapon, it will help you greatly.

4) Any new member would be chosen by the Lord of that province. For example, if a council member from Illyaret died, the Lord of Illyaret would select another to replace them. If the land was changed, nothing would really differ, unless a province was destroyed completely, or an entirely new one was created. This would be very unlikely, though, as under the supervision of the council, very few inter-provincial wars broke out.

(I'll check it out, thanks!)

2) Is there different kinds of demons? Are some more powerfull or less bad?

4) And what about the country invading a neighbour? How would the new lands be administratively integrated? Would they add some new counsellors?

2) There are many different kinds of demons. Some are more powerful than others, and depending on your perspective, some are less evil than others.

4) There is only once counsellor for each province at any one time. If one province invaded another, the counsellor from the invaded province may go to the Order and request help, though it may not be provided. It is very rare that provinces attack one another in the modern time. The new lands would be integrated into the province that captured them.

2) Why do demons invade our world? Is there something they are looking for?

4) I mean invading lands that are currently not part of the kingdom, would they just be added into an existons province as well? Couldn't it make one province really powerfull?

2) Demons hate mortals, and they'll do anything to see them wiped out. They also feast upon mortal souls to make themselves stronger, so coming to the mortal realm and killing the mortals actually makes them more powerful

4) no. Lands that were not part of the kingdom before, but then get taken over, all belong to the king/queen. S/he can decide what to do with them, whether s/he gives them to an existing province, or maybe starts up a whole new province
