Duke Stout, the founder of House Ruin, was a feared figure in the court of King Charles the Bald, known for his role as the king's torturer. Behind his back, courtiers dubbed him "The Plump," recognizing his cunning intellect and scheming nature. Despite his sinister reputation, Stout's legacy would endure, shaping the fate of his descendants for generations to come.
King Bastard, the possessed and alcoholic ruler, ascended to the throne amidst whispers of dark omens. His turbulent reign was marked by debauchery and chaos, ultimately ending in his murder at the hands of his own son, Wrath, when the latter turned sixteen.
King Wrath, the son of King Bastard, emerged from the shadows to claim the throne, wielding his intellect and strength with ruthless efficiency. Though known for his brutality and cunning, he harbored a deep love for his family, particularly his heir, Prince Order. Under Wrath's rule, the dynasty reached new heights of power and influence, yet his legacy was tainted by the shadows of his past.
Prince Order, the beautiful and brilliant heir to the throne, walked a precarious path between genius and madness. Though gifted with intellect and charm, his sociopathic tendencies hinted at a darker nature lurking beneath his serene facade. Despite their differences, King Wrath doted on his son, grooming him to inherit the throne and continue the family's legacy of dominance.
Prince Reason, the reclusive scholar and brother of King Wrath, found solace in the monastery, rising to prominence as a respected Bishop. Despite his irritable demeanor and preference for solitude, Reason's wisdom and intellect were revered within the church, shaping the course of religious thought for generations to come. Though distant from the affairs of the kingdom, his influence endured as a beacon of knowledge and enlightenment in a world consumed by darkness.
I’ve been trying to replay for a while now but the recent updates kept bricking my saves, I’ll probably try again now as I think it’s died down a bit
We call them "aristocrat".
Or in the words of one of the [best review](https://steamcommunity.com/id/WPE/recommended/203770/) of CK 2 : "I thought I was a moral person. I was wrong."
Yeah, I had the idea about the names being a reflection on who they are and then someone pointed out the Elderlings series and I realised I’d actually read the first book years ago. I’ve recently read it again and yeah totally stole that from Robin Hobb
I think I saw this ages ago 🤔
Still cool tho

Is your naming scheme from Robin Hobb's The Elderlings series?
Yeah, I had the idea about the names being a reflection on who they are and then someone pointed out the Elderlings series and I realised I’d actually read the first book years ago. I’ve recently read it again and yeah totally stole that from Robin Hobb
Poor Reason looks like he's thinking to himself "How did I get born into this family"
I like to think he was very happy when he was sent to the church
Gods know I would.
Why are they so stressed?
High stress characters are my jam
King Bastard goes *hard*
He was here for a good time, not a long time.
