Play Diary: Derya the Minor Noble and a Fallen House

Studio play diary: Derya is a fictional character, not a real player. The game was played by our studio autoplayer; the events, figures and screens come from that run, and the telling is ours.

I am the last hope of a fallen house. I began with 4,257 gold and scattered a band of 9 on the very first day: 132 gold, 4 renown. Lysandre rejoiced.

A name but no gold

By day 84 I had 9 troops and 5,332 in net worth. Slow but steady. On day 156 Sylvar and Valoren went to great war, lasting until day 216.

I escaped bandits on day 166 and failed on day 168: 618 gold gone, retreat to Lysandre. The Fallen House quest closed that same day.

Tip: A noble’s edge is not gold but renown. It opens lords’ doors, so use it.

Day 252 ended with 87 renown, 11 troops and 6,017 in net worth. My renown is over three times the traders’; my purse far behind.

Tip: Move carefully during a great war. Roads turn dangerous, so survive first.
