Noblebright world, since i will live there. Gain a minor increase in something my opponent was good at for every one of them I defeat. The true heir, keeping a major kingdom stable is useful and fulfills the same as god’s chosen or marked hero or loyalty aura for gathering people to me for a needed crusade on a threat. The Hyperion, heavy armor that has no gaps and is light to wear as well. And it being famed and fought over is okay, with being king. Kodring, flaming daggers taht can be controlled by mind, one is enough at start for extra mobility and blind spots in armor while fighting. And once all tamed a few decades in the future a menace on the battlefield. Solais, nice bad intentions detector so will keep on side almost constantly. Also big symbol of hope so great for rallying people. The Fallen ANgel mentor. Knowing how to cast miracles would fit with sword, and knowing how to kill divine beings would be useful since i am presuming evil gods exists as well. And her death in redemption would fit with death of mentor tropes. Tatrenula, maybe the fallen angel knew of her kind, and having a supporting companion is useful. Also looks like can fly. Also headpats! Benjamin. Having a worldly knight on my side could be useful as an advisor and body guard. Giant crow mount, can fly on it and well with heavy plate armor protected enough that should be able to perform well on foot in combat instead of mounted. Castle
Playing this as appearing in wilderness and fighting for a while just random beasts. Then eventually a cave with the fallen angel sealed inside. I talk with and unseal her from her bonds and she mentors me. Nearby some of Tatrenula’s people were petrified and only she could be unpetrified.
We travel about for a while and do bounties, i defeat challengers for my armor and learn. I come across Benjamin also clearing out a bandit camp, and he decides to join me. We travel and continue on for a while, and i learn the more normal knightly stuff from him.
Eventually one of the highish ranking nobility invite me to a feast after i had cleared out a major bandit gang plaguing his lands, and once i am there without the helmet on as is polite he is shocked to see me and reveals the true heir plot hook. I am shocked and reveals that i remember coming to in some wilderness and has just been traveling since, so playing as is/could be heir but is amnesiac and possibly tried to be disposed of. Duke possibly convinced to back my claim as heir, but at leats many of his retainers saw me and proclaim me.
Civil war is short, because i have churhc on my side via performing miracles like a blessed one, and having the famous holy sword on me. Knights that are honorable can be won over by Benjamin and his tales of my exploits and what i have been doing. Also from claim of looking right and some higher nobles taht had seen me before “recognising” me. Many other knights could submit via sheer display of strength (i have been killing for a long time and drained some strnegth from every kill). And knights that are not can be defeated and open up new land to hand out to loyal followers and new knights, and would likely have been knights i would not have wanted following me anyway. Eventually civil war over and more austere court than is normal.
Once things are stabilised use the first major summer feast to reaffirm loyalties, redistribute land and ride out with a retinue to hunt down and clear out beast and monsters both animal and man, and be a good display of caring for people.
