The Forbidden Story- Food- Naked NPC's?? (Two sessions in this one)
8/14/2021
'Bellatrice' and 'Alexander'? Come together on the docks, she a noblewoman coming to select something nice from the foreign traders, him a foreigner with no family back home. They stumbled into each other by accident, and a spark struck.. Cue several weeks of dating as the ship traded away it's current hold and bartered up a new one for the next destination.Then a romantic decision to stay, he could always get onboard a new ship outbound to stranger shores, and weeks turn into months as the love blooms and he gets introduced into the nobility. Minor at first, but then more increasingly. Several years have passed and he receives a letter from the past, of his home country ordering him to Go to war. Something that his now wife firmly stands behind. So off he goes. It's a long trip, and of course both of them feel lonely and miss eachother, but they're loyal to eachother.
Then something happens to the noblewoman, some small accident that could have been avoided entirely, and this starts poisoning her mind, slowly laying more and more blame of it on her missing husband because, in her head, if he was here with her, it WOULD have been avoided, and nothing else would come of it. But he wasn't, and she was left to fend the consequences off all alone.

But he wasn't, and she was left to fend the consequences off all alone.
Until, about two to three months since he left, he came back proud as can be, having secured something priceless for his lady fair, something that quelled the angry thoughts at first, but stormclouds lingered, and as they settled back into their life, she became colder and more distant, no longer the golden couple of the family as he tried desperately to fix things. But the angry discussions grew more numerous and more violent, and he had started making plans on old connections to flee the island and never look back. On the very final night that he resided with his lady fair, he was secretive and packing his bags in the dead of night, intent to leave as soon as the moon was at it's highest.
Except, the wife had been plotting too to confront him about this past that poisoned her, but upon finding him packing his bags, everything 'fit' in her head, and she flew into a murderous rage and almost decapitated him. Nobody ever saw him again, but she insisted he was simply resting, struck with some grave malady until nobody gave it any mind any more, and grew distant from the noblewoman anyway as she had started to grow cruel, resentful and endlessly controlling, doling out severe punishment for the slightest inconvenience.

Back at the bar
Golden god is similar is very similar to the search for the next dalilama, when the current one dies, they look for the next, looking for the reincarnation, it can take a couple years to almost never find them cuz they think they are “human”, the god emperor have been in many forms, latest incarnation is an female elf
This has been going on for centuries
How do you find the new one- priests and priestesses search, they will always be born in erro, but they dont always stay in erro, only had a few times they had to search far and wide before the loss of magic
Maybe an invisible border kept them in Erro? Hmmmmm
Has there ever been more than 2 people claiming to be the emperor, yes there was strife and 2 people were thought to be, made a war and ended up with the death of both, it tore the country completely apart
