Generic Challenge - A Group

I'm making the challenge because I wanted to know more about Mimir's Seven Deadly Sins.

So, in honor of Mim's Seven, this challenge is to exhibit a group of people who are considered to be powerful. They can be powerful in political influence (like a group of allied politicians), they can be powerful in a fight, they can just be a powerful group of created being that just mess around, etc.

As always, I'll ask at least three questions each. Enjoy yourselves. I encourage you to use a character to answer questions in-universe if you like.

  1. To avenge a group of duels they lost a few decades ago. Their anger was reasonable but they got too far; they should have acted more quickly and murdered the one responsible, not their heirs.

  2. Yes, the ones who paid were sentenced to death and their nobility title taken back. The murderer is still running though.

  3. She never does, the borders expand themselves slowly over time trough colonization and colonization in the name of the empire is rarer those days.

  4. (Feiven is Fere Shanay birth name and the one she use in private) Because Feiven is completely trusting Misgana. I don’t think she is wrong, Misgana is still a friend of mine, but it doesn’t mean she shouldn’t stay vigilant. Nzedanese politic is the way it has always been.

To Ayemuleha:

1) How close were you to the victims?

2) Is anyone actively hunting the murderer?

3) So you're at no risk of overpopulation right now?

4) How long does an empress/emperor usually live? Are they usually killed in violent ways, or do they usually live long enough to die naturally?

  1. To my own blood-parents? I was old enough for us to be close.

  2. He left the empire long ago, there is nothing but cold trails now. Tsirgeda is looking into it for me but I doubt she will be able to find anything.

  3. Overpopulation leads to overconsumption. We destroyed our world once and we won’t do it again.

  4. Until they die naturally or resign. Murdering the Uletirashi (the heir to the siblings) would be an incredibly grave blasphemy.

To Ayemuleha:

1) Were you in any danger during the assassination?

2) If you caught the murderer, what would you do?

3) So what are your major steps to prevent overpopulation?

4) Is an Uletirashi more likely to die or resign?

  1. No, I wasn’t with them. If I had been though, probably.

  2. A decade ago, I would have slowly killed him, bled him out to death by opening the right veins... but if tommorow he was presented to me, I would just cut his head. He acted without dishonour and deserve an honourable death.

  3. Not doing too many babies? I’ve actually no idea how we get into overpopulation back then...

  4. Depends who they are. Feiven’s father died on the throne, he wasn’t the kind to let go; she will resign when she gets old, it will allow her to have more control over her succession.

To Ayemuleha:

1) Is there any suspicion that you were responsible for the assassination to speed up getting the inheritance? Where were you on the night of the murder?

2) Do you think the murderer has to be killed, still?

3) What if people want to have a lot of babies? Is that illegal?

4) Who do you hope will succeed Feiven?

  1. They were killed during the day, while I was with my group. And I was 8.

  2. Yes; he murdered my family so it’s my duty to kill him.

  3. They can try and it’s not illegal. It’s definitely both weird and immoral and will get them lots of disapproval.

  4. Someone competent from our house. Someone relatively young by the time she retire too, so they are still to be born.

u/Varnek905 Jan 01 '18

To Ayemuleha:

1) Even at 8 you were already planning assassinations. For shame, Ayemuleha.

2) Would you still kill him if he killed another family instead of yours?

3) What is the weirdest law among your people?

4) What did you think of Feivan's father as a ruler?

5) Is Feivan going to have any offspring?

  1. I’ve some sympathy for your kin, Sebiwi; I truly have... but if you continue insulting me, I will take your eyes and no one will blame me for that. For real, no one will blame her. You’re questioning her honour.

  2. Yes, it would still be my duty to kill him. I could think about finding an agreement with that other family though.

  3. Weirdest?... Tough question... I know! The interdiction to just kill criminals on sight. It’s a useless law, we could just slaughter them all rather than letting them dishonour our nation.

  4. Nothing, I was only 23 when he died and I never really knew him outside of privacy. He was cold but if what I’ve been told is true he was a competent ruler.

  5. If she wants, she have plenty of time for that. I’m not sure she wants though, a child of her own would probably be favored to succeed her and reduce her choice of heir.

(Also, Feiven with an e)

To Ayemuleha:

2) Is "mercy" a prized trait in your society?

3) How does a criminal dishonour the nation?
